Fergie flabbergasted to find Ancelotti in sack race

THERE are those who claim Carlo Ancelotti’s job as Chelsea manager is on the line tonight, and Alex Ferguson can’t believe it.

“Already? It’s incredible. Ancelotti won the Premier League at the first attempt, and the double as well. I don’t understand how he can be criticised,” he said.

“It’s the media atmosphere there is at present that’s to blame. They invent problems where they don’t exist. The papers sensationalise everything to compete with 24-hour sports coverage on TV and with the internet.
