Sir Alex Ferguson has implied his indifference at the way in which players and staff at Liverpool has conducted themselves in the aftermath of Luis Suarez being handed an eight-match ban following alleged racist comments towards Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra.
Suarez was handed the punishment at the start of last week after a rather tedious few months of allegations and accusations.
Since then, the Merseyside club have rallied round their player and those associated with Liverpool, led by manager Kenny Dalglish, have been critical of the severity of the recriminations. However, speaking yesterday, 69 year-old Ferguson was adamant that the decision was correct.
"Our support of Patrice was obvious right from the word go and that's still the same," he told The Guardian.
"The matter is over and I think we're satisfied that they [the FA's independent commission] found the right decision.
"This wasn't about Manchester United and Liverpool at all. It was nothing to do with that. This was an individual situation where one person was racially abused."
