Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson condemns Jason Roberts for racism stance

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has condemned Jason Roberts for refusing to wear a Kick it Out T-shirt ahead of this weekend's Premier League games.

Ferguson's stance won backing from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who said: "If they (black players) do not join in, that makes the campaign not credible." Reading striker Roberts told Sky Sports News: "It seems like the authorities don't have the stomach to take this on, and if the players don't take it on then nobody will." Roberts believes Terry's four-game ban is "nowhere near what people expect" and says it is down to players to take a lead. Roberts has called on Chelsea to come down hard on their captain after a club statement confirmed Terry is facing internal disciplinary action. He said: "You know we've sat and we've spoken about the Serbian FA and their view of what happened out there with the England Under-21s and how you have to take responsibility. "I think for a club like Chelsea, if you find yourself in the middle of this, you have to be seen to be doing the correct thing and the correct thing is to be taking action against someone who has done something like that in the game. "If you used that sort of language in the workplace, what sanction would you expect to be given? I don't know. You say about fans saying it on the sidelines and what would happen to them? "Certainly a four-game ban is nowhere near what people would expect for something like this. I guess it's up to Chelsea to do what's right."
