The Guardian:
"I don't think the FA's compliance unit has any real purpose," he said. "They can't do their job properly."
He is particularly aggrieved that the FA fined Neville £5,000 for baiting Liverpool fans while Chelsea's William Gallas escaped with nothing more than a written warning for making inflammatory gestures to Fulham's crowd. The Liverpool striker Djibril Cissé faced no action whatsoever for inciting Newcastle's supporters after he had already been booked at St James' Park and Ferguson, who has claimed before that the FA "victimise" United, believes the FA punished Neville only because "Sky showed it time and time again.
"Unless the press report something, the compliance unit don't act. That's a fact. . "The compliance unit doesn't react unless the press report it. When Stephen Jordan [he plays for City] made that horrific tackle on Cristiano Ronaldo, the press didn't report it and the compliance unit did nothing."
An FA spokesman last night described his comments as "totally incorrect".
