Underhanded or not, Fergie did what he felt was best for the club as a whole (at that point) and posterity will adjudge that he was 100% right.

Keane on the other hand is still bitter twat about it decades later and that bitterness continues to fuel his opinions about the club to the point where he can't even be taken seriously anymore. One of them has come out far better from that incident, and it's not the guy looking like a retired 80s pornstar

Fergie is still bitter about it as well, I think the one of the things that made them successful was their stubborness, is now a hinderance to why they don't bury the hatchet now. Fergie didn't even name him, in his world class players who played for him throughout his managerial career. I think everyone is in agreement that Fergie was right to get rid, but do it properly and don't hide behind an interview he was very quick to not be made accessible to the public. Both were greats in their own right, but Fergie made mistakes, the Stam one was another and he had to backtrack on that one in later years because Stam went on excelled post Utd.

The MUTV interview wasn't the final straw.

It was the argument about it, in front of all the other players, that was the final nail.

You don't speak to Fergie like he apparently did, especially when you're near the end of your use. Only one outcome.

Keane's a "bitter twat" (don't agree with that considering he is our most successful captain) because Ferguson trashed his managerial career in his autobiography as well as being in the wrong on how he got rid of him.

Keane went back to Carrington after he left and apologised (and said he doesn't know why he did as he wasn't in the wrong).

Keane accomplished more as a manager than a majority of Ferguson's ex players, yet Ferguson didn't trash them.

Between Keane leaving in 2005 and Ferguson's 2013 book their wasn't as much animosity as their is in recent years.

For the record Ferguson's autobiography was released in 2013 and Keane's most recent one the the year after since then Keane has been bitter since and he has every right to be.

Keane got rid of himself. As someone noted, it wasnt the interview, it was the aftermath of the interview standing up to Fergie infront of the squad

Loved him as a player but never as a person.

Probably one of the few United fans who doesn’t.

Lovely to wheel out old episodes of RedCafe and see what people were arguing about almost 20 years ago.

I think Ronaldo’s case resonates with him because he had the same experience.
Fergie said he struggled to adjust to the end of his career.

He tried to be funny at 5:10 but Ten Hag took it without laughing, he probably expected Ten Hag to laugh at the joke. You can see him turning a bit red with an awkward smile afterwards then tried to play it off with the old thumbs up.

Keane is expanding his game, learning new tricks!

ETH is still a bit tight, has to win a few trophies first!

After Ten Hag spent a few minutes explaining some tactical stuff, everyone else immediately moved on while Keane seemed genuinely intrigued and was deep in thought about what he'd said. Can't believe there are people that think our legends would want him out. Unless Roy is an Oscar winning actor I'd say he is on board with Hagball.

Ironically ‘heh’ was not the first word out of ETH’s mouth on that occasion :lol:

But it takes a lot to melt the icey heart of Keane and for him to be light hearted.

I think Keane genuinely enjoyed Ten Hag not being happy with the performance and talking about standards.

Are you alright there chief?

He clearly understood it. Not much to look into there.

Looked for the white text but, Christ. Do me a favour.

I didnt say he didnt understand it. But such funny joke is often met with laughter. Relax. Its just good to see this other side of Roy Keane who is not all cold and powerful.
