Ferdinand might not be a very nice person, but he's been there for 12 years. Pretty shitty way to boot him out after that long. And the United fans weren't given the chance to say goodbye at the last home game either. One of their all time great defenders, and they call time on him with a word in the changing room? Piss poor and really disrespectful to the fans to do that.
This must be the legendary 'United way' that we hear so much about.
Not quite as classy as having bailiffs evict families of the Munich disaster, or a millionaire knowingly selling condemned meat for school dinners, but a nice touch nonetheless.
