IRWIN APOLOGISES TO FERGIE

Last updated : 19 October 2005 By Ed

Denis on MUTV:

"I have apologised to Sir Alex.

"I was disappointed to read the comments because it was a lot of nonsense.

"If anybody knows me, I have the least interest in the political side of football. Someone got carried away and the piece didn’t go out the way I wanted it to. But it is my fault and I have to live with it.

"Sir Alex has been at Manchester United for so long, it would be hard for him to take another job.

"I have no problem with Brian. All I was saying is that if he does go (Ed. he now has) and I hope he doesn't - we need someone with the experience of a Martin O'Neill or an Alex Ferguson.

"I did say in my article that he was under contract. Someone put two and two together and got five."
