   Am I the only one who thinks that Roy Keane has said a few thing that have been out of order since he left Old Trafford?

   He has gone down in my estimation after saying Clough was the best manager he played under. Better than Fergie? You’re having a laugh.

   aphra_rs I think we read the same article, but im sure in that article he cited himself lucky having played under both Clough and Ferguson ‘excellent managers’. Im pretty sure he didnt just mention Clough..

   alpha_rs, i agree! Brucie may not have won any trophies yet but to say he’s not been successful is a bit of a joke.
   Two promotions, a cup final appearance and keeping Wigan up is no mean achievement considering he had far less money than Keane did to work with!
   Legend at Utd, dont ruin it Roy!

    Since when has two promotions and a cup final been deemed successfull? Yes, it’s worthy of applause – but classed a success? Sorry but football is a trophy business. Always has been, always will be. Managers, far more than players, will always be judged on what they win.

    Not sure why all this Roy Keane negativity is creeping around on here. “The day he does I’ll lose all respect for him”.. Silly comment.

    Keano may come out with a few ‘words of wisdom’ from time to time but to me he is,and always will be,a Manchester United Legend.

    One of the best players ever to pull on the shirt.

    @SupersonicWarrior

    It’s true and that is how I feel.
    While he put on a United shirt he was an absolute legend. End of.

    But he has had a few pops and digs at United since he left.
    The day he has a pop at Fergie will be the day I lose respect for him.

    I just don’t think he should be commenting on his former team mates.
    It’s just one of those things you don’t do.

    @SupersonicWarrior.
    Granted that winning trophies are success. But surely it can’t be the only measure of success? Keano had spent in the region of 80 million in a relatively short period and achieved…er…not too sure actually.
    The negativity you speak about is simply a result of HIM continually speaking in a negative manner about our manager, our club and ex players.
    Undoubtedly he was a magnificent captain for us, a truly wonderful player on the pitch. He just doesn’t need to resort to uneccessary public statements, questioning the ability of former colleagues who also played massive roles in bringing long overdue success to this club.
    In this era of the game, if you don’t manage one of the top four, it’s highly unlikely you will win anything unless you have lots of money to spend.
    The skills you require as an outstanding player are not the same as being a manager. So far Keano has left the impression that he has an awful lot to learn about handling people!

    @Its in my blood

    David Moyes and Martin O’Neil haven’t spent anywhere neat £80million on players and they haven’t won anything – yet.
    But I would say they are more successful than Roy Keane.

    If David Moyes and Martin O’Neil had £80million to spend I’d be worried. Because if they did I think they would be creating a top 6 instead of pushing the top 4. What they have done with the resources they have had is brilliant.

    @Mannyutd

    I don’t think Scott is saying anything negative about Roy Keane at all.
    Fellow bloggers are just venting their opinions as you do the same.

    I am a season ticket holder and Old Trafford. Although Keano was a Legend on the pitch he doesn’t need to comment negatively about the club, SAF, or former players. You just don’t do it. Let your results as a manager do the talking. Spending £80million on players and winning nothing is a poor return.

    Which cup final did Bruce appear in as a manager, I can’t think of one? Someone help me out…

    @ Drabik, you’re right mate, i stand corrected! I forgot it was Jewell who got Wigan to the final.

    Drabik says:

    You’re not the only one, I’ve seen quite a few people stating that over a few blogs, I spent about 20 minutes on wiki and other sites to make sure I hadn’t gone mad. Also, Birmingham city reached the league cup final in the year Bruce went there, but Graham Taylor (I think) was manager for that part of the season.

    Still, even if he hasn’t made a final in his managerial career, what he has done at Wigan, (and to a lesser extent, Birmingham) is nothing short of amazing. He also has made great players from unfamiliar names; Palacios, Zaki, Valencia, etc, etc and has rejuvinated the careers of others; Heskey, Bramble.

    I don’t think any of the managers, Keane, Bruce, Hughes, will win anything notable at their current clubs, but in my opinion success isn’t defined by the trophy cabinet, especially at so-called smaller clubs. With the amount of finances Bruce has, and those that Hughes had at Blackburn, both created strong teams punching above their weight.

    The way the Premier League, and football in general, is controlled by the financial market nowadays, I don’t see many clubs outside the top 4 winning anything (last year was a one off).
