Ferguson faces new legal attack
Sir Alex Ferguson will today find himself facing Baby Prada Shoes Uk the ordeal of a second legal dispute with John Magnier and JP McManus when Manchester United’s rebel shareholders inform the club they are investigating the possibility of a claim for Agatha Ruiz Dela Prada Dresses Uk defamation.
