http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...w-led-Irishman-leaving-Manchester-United.html Its from Keane's book, which comes out this week, i can't they just apologise and move on, i mean really, this was 9 years ago.
Well, that worked out well for him. He should have known better. If he'd tried that with Cloughie, Cloughie would have punched him . . . again!
Fergie shouldn't have been a ****er and criticised all of the players that brought him great success over the years in his book. I can't wait to read this book as Keano certainly won't be pulling his punches this time
Unlike Fergusons book, which you quite clearly haven't read if you think he criticises all the players who brought him success. Or do you believe that because that's what The Sun told you to think?
Keano is the most influential and effective midfielder the PL has seen, no question. He's also bordering on certifiable.
I don't agree with books that reveal dressing room secrets. The well known fact is "What happens in the dressing room, stays in the dressing room" Both SAF and Keano are millionaires, so why reveal secrets that benefit no one.
There's a market for it, simple as that. I doubt Keane would have had a pop at Ferguson had Fergie not done it first, all a bit sad that it ended that way really. The media love this **** though, they get some lackey to speed read it to look for any juicy stuff and then quote this section completely out of context so that idiots who believe them can be outraged. People love a bit of outrage don't they? My advice would be read it before forming an opinion that ultimately makes you look stupid, which is pretty much what every single outraged Liverpool and Chelsea fan did when Ferguson's was released. Drogs memorably said "why do I have to have read it to have an opinion on it" I mean, for ****'s sake. It actually turned out to be utterly tame and the one single person in the whole book he had an ACTUAL go at was indeed Keane, who now has his chance to reply. The rest of the so called assassination of various players was anything but. Talk Sport are ****ing themselves into a frenzy this morning over Keane and Pietersen's books and not one of them could possibly have actually read it.
I read Keane's first autobiography. I'm sure some of the stories currently being splashed all over the press were in the first book and are therefore old news and certainly not "sensational". Fergie's autobiography was a bit dull. He could have finished every story and chapter with the words "ultimately I was proven right". Pietersen's autobiography will probably be quite entertaining as he is one of the least self aware people on the planet!
Love keane but hes wrong here. The years before he left and after show exactly this. Keane was tye problem. Thats all his book needed to say.
I said that about the snippets released by the press from the book, not the entire book itself. Using the word 'outraged' is a slight exaggeration too. I'll definitely be buying Keane's book as I'm sure he's got a few stories to tell.
This. Also Keane and SAF are both stubborn egotistical bastards who will always want the final say. Keane in particular seemed desperate to have his say on pretty much everything about the two, and pick a fight with SAF wherever he could. He was outraged when SAF said he wasn't good enough and they were letting him go in 2005, insulted when SAF praised him for Turin in 99, indignant that SAF had total control at Utd. The man could pick a fight in an empty room. I do wonder how much of the breakdown in the relationship between the two of them in the last couple of seasons was actually down to what happened between the two of them, or whether it was just Keane getting pissed off that his body couldn't match his desire on the pitch any more. Still the best all round CM ever to have played in the PL tho'
Surely Herrera is better? He's the spanish Joe Allen. In seriousness we have to remember these books are all ghost written... wonder what gets changed in translation and then by the publishers after that.
In your respect maybe, but there were many who were, mainly residing on the Liverpool board. One charmer suggested that Ferguson deserves bowel cancer for daring to suggest he didn't want to ****ing well sign Jordan Henderson. Then there was a Sunderland fan ranting a raving about what Ferguson had said about them, John O Shea and Wes Brown and none of that turned out to actually be in it. Not one of those people had read and it were outraged on the information put out by the likes of Talk Sport, who were simply at it again this morning, particularly pisshead central Alan Brazil. The only way you can confidently comment on a book is by reading it first, it's bollocks to suggest anything else. I'm looking forward to Keano's book, I bet it's a cracking read!
This is true, although I reckon in Keane's case all the ghostwriter will have done is tone the damn thing down! I reckon Keane's original manuscript will have called everyone he has every worked with, played with, or met a ****ing **** on pretty much every page...
I've met loads of people like this, including my step-dad. I have pointed out (on many occasions) that statistically speaking it's much more likely that everyone he meets is normal and he's the ****! He is a ****, though. . . But, then again, so am I!
He's at it again, calling us glory hunters - https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net...=930df7708ccadaa6505ee08f5363d770&oe=54B7A946
Maybe its me being a traditionalist Chief, I just don't agrre with it , and not just United, other clubs too
Yeah I was only referencing myself there to be fair. I'm sure people will/do get outraged at former United players making controversial statements.
You're pretty much the type of fan he's talking about though Matth!! Armchair fan from a different country supporting the most successful team...isn't that exactly what a glory hunter is?
