Keane was right at the time, and he’s still right now. There’s nothing to hit back at

Another week, another media “sensation” that everyone is talking about.

This week’s — if you hadn’t noticed — is Alex Ferguson’s latest autobiography for the release of which a media scrum descended on a press conference at the Institute Of Directors in central London. Perhaps the idea of such a self-proclaimed socialist holding court in one of the bastions of British capitalism was intentionally ironic, or maybe, as he told the assembled hacks, “Money can change everything.” That quote was a reference to Manchester City’s newfound riches but, for many of us more cynical United fans, it has long been equally applicable to the man himself.

Roy Keane would certainly seem to think so. As he said back in 2011, “People say Ferguson always does what’s right for Man United. I don’t think he does. I think he does what’s right for him. The Irish thing (Ferguson’s dispute over Rock Of Gibraltar)... This didn’t help the club, the manager going to law against its leading shareholder. How could it be of benefit to Man United?”
