Is Sir Alex Ferguson a hypocrite over the Berbatov saga?
It's hard to tell which has been going longer - the 'Ronaldo to Real' episode or the 'Berbatov to Old Trafford' saga - either way, neither is yet over but they both have similarities that don't necessarily show Sir Alex Ferguson in a good light.
The United boss has spent a large part of the close season telling anyone who will listen that Real Madrid have been unsettling his star player - wooing him, making remarks of intent and overall making no secret that they know he's rather keen to go there.
Contrast that with his recent ridiculing of Tottenham over their claims that Fergie has been doing exactly the same thing to them over their stealthy pursut of Dimitar Berbatov.
They are not the only cases around - Liverpool have made no bones about wanting Robbie Keane, while some would say that Spurs did much the same thing before snaring boss Juande Ramos from Sevilla.
Who are the hypocrites here - is it Sir Alex? Or is he just doing his job? Have your say.

Sir Alex thinks he's God, I don't think so, believe me there's a difference! There was only one God in football and that was and still is Robbie Fowler!
