‘Nonsense’ to ask players to bail out billionaire owners, says Roy Keane

"The way I look at it now, particularly after the way I left Manchester United, I wouldn't take a pay cut from anybody if I was at one of the bigger clubs."

Roy Keane has dismissed the idea that Premier League footballers should take pay cuts to help out ‘billionaire owners”. And added more caustic salt to the wounds of his shock departure from Manchester United in 2005.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ The Football Show this morning, alongside Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, Keane described as ‘nonsense’ the idea that players at top clubs are under pressure to take wage cuts during the Covid-19 shutdown.
