Yup...Fergie said that he was binning the FA Cup for a crappy competition laughingly labelled ‘The World Club Cup’ so that England had a better chance of hosting the next World Cup. ...very patriotic of him...nothing to do with the millions dung received for just turning up.
Hilariously they were knocked out before the tournament begun and sneaked back home with their tail between their legs but clutching a huge pot of money.
They should have been banned from The FA Cup for at least 10 years for their mercenary behaviour imo.
