Ferguson ban now begins on November 28th

Sir Alex Ferguson will be in the dugout for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Everton on Saturday despite being hit with a two-match suspension, reports BBC Sport.

United's boss was punished for comments on referee Alan Wiley's fitness after a 2-2 draw with Sunderland in October.

But the Football Association said that the ban does not start until 14 days after last week's disciplinary hearing.

Ferguson will sit in the stands at Portsmouth on 28 November and again for the Carling Cup tie with Tottenham.

The FA handed the 67-year-old a four-game ban, with two of those suspended until the end of the 2010/11 season, a £20,000 fine and warned him about his future conduct.

I bet when you got a transfer ban for two transfer windows you were disgusted by the punishment and disagreed? Every fan is bias, and are u not forgetting your tie against Barcelona... Ballack nearly grabbed the ref when he awarded no penalty and the decision was one of the correct ones! And now onto your main man Drogba and the way he treated the match official a minute after the game... What is your opinion on the Chelsea players trying to ref??

its good for managers to be punish or ele football will not be repected moreever the referees. The way Sir Alex approaces referees after their defeats is really bad. 100% behind FIFA.
