Roy Keane leaves Man Utd

[Sexual Chocolate]

Breaking apparently, so nothing to actually to write about. I presume it was to do with the comments he said about his team "mates"

[Retro_Link]

I'm sure that's contributed!
I also heard them talking about rumours he would be leaving on the radio a few weeks ago (around the time he made those comments);

Apparetly he wants a change and feels he still has things he wants to achieve in his footballing career, the main one being playing for a major international side; so i'd expect that's exactly where he's going to go.

[Fields]

Brilliant! The Mancs are in crisis! Expect to see Fergie gone by the end of the season too. :D

[JonSt]

Great fucking news. he had a write nerve to say what he did, and now he has payed the price.

[kav82]

A great player he was, still influencial within the team, this isn't what they wanted at this time in the season.

After beating us (Chelsea) they would want Keane to add his leadership in the dressing room and on the pitch and to continue to press. Without him I feel this is only going to be much harder.

[Domstercool]

He's supposed to be getting a nice testimonial match at the end of the season! He fully deserves it too.

[mike-zim]

Great fucking news. he had a write nerve to say what he did, and now he has payed the price.
He was spot on with what he said. it inspired the team to go on and beat chelsea. more truth needs to be told. united are on the way down. brilliant.

Keep it in your prayers :hehe:, and good looks now i hope they lose ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy while they are at it.

[Noodleman]

Ok he didnt say it with the greatest of tact but if you look at the players he singled out and compare them with united teams of old they wouldnt even get on the bench let alone be in the starting 11.

[cheets]

He was going to leave at the end of the season, so somthing major must of gone on today or yesterday, the fact is now he wont be a coach for man u.

Atleast now he wont have to worry about being in the headlines.

[mike-zim]

how much must they have paid him off to go? he still had a contract if they terminated it there would have to be compensation.

[JonSt]

He was on a £100,000 a week, must have cost united a fair whack to terminate it.

[mike-zim]

but there would have been damages to be paid. advertising deals would have fallen through as he is no longer a united player. they would have been better off just waiting till jan and selling him off cheap.

Who would have bought him though, he is pretty old now and no where near as good as he was.

West ham bought Sherringham didn't they. i recon there would have been a queue of people wanting to buy him.

Ronaldo just signed a new contract :)

hold your toung fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fergi gone by the end of the season, indeed- never heard so much bollocks in my life.
i mean do you even no who he is.

let me put it in a way you can understand, you would never be able to take hiachi or paul phonix out of tekken, they are tekken, just like man unt fergi is unt if he was going to go he would have gone ages ago. but he is still hear and he aint going to stop untill hes dead.

i am gutted that kean is leavin, but what he has rooney has in abundenc. and you can be sure as he gets older he will command the feild more

as for the comment about loosing all the players (not to sure who wrote that bit of shit)but thats just bitter wishful thinkin

some people are just retarded, a few teams get a lot better have some long deserved money put in their direction and thats it , its the end of united the way people are talking its like their about to get relagated :wtf: i mean what the fuck is that all about

man u fan? fergie is starting to loose the plot. he has made some duff buys.

[Shmotz]

He was on a £100,000 a week, must have cost united a fair whack to terminate it.

I doubt he was on so much. He got blamed for a hike in season ticket prices because he went onto a £52,000 contract and his fine in 2002 of 2 weeks wages wwas £150,000. I don't recall a £100k a week contract.

Utd aren't going down, Nistelrooy won't leave, Ronaldo has signed an extension till 2010, and of course Ferguson is going to leave soon. Sure we might not win the Premiership season in season out but we will be contenders for a few seasons yet.

Tell that to the Glazers when Chelsea win the prem league and Man Utd get knocked out of europe and the FA Cup.

If Fergie isnt winning trophies, he could easily by sacked, plus hes on a rolling contract.

He signed a new contract a while ago worth 100,00 grand a week.

[Eddage]

it was terminated by mutual consent wasn't it? Doesn't that mean the there will be nothing to pay extra, I think it does if my Champioship/Football manager playing has served me well.

Oh and as a United fan I'm kinda sad to see hime leave but he wasn't anywhere near the plaer he once was so I'm not too upset. Heres hoping for Ballack (although I'm getting my hopes up too high)!

aint no one on earth today apart from the man himself that can do what he has done. so for some one to tell him to get on his bike because hes not won a coupl of trophies is obsurd. no one has built a team like he has from nothin and crushed all comp for years.............arsenal - oh sorry who took your winnin run away.chelsea - sorry who took your winnin run away......and this is from a teamhe who are on the ropes apparently :kiss:

and what the fuck would any one talk to glazer about....not fukin football thats for sure

thers been talk that fergi would go for years and you cant just take him out of teams and put him in another like his name is soones just wont work,he isnt a regular mannager and cant just be given the boot like one

he has done more good for english football than a lot of you haters give him credit for

so what if hes hard talkin and straight to the point - he aint your moma but he is the fukin daddy :awesome:

[Charlie]

Any news on where he's going next? He said a while ago he wants to play at Celtic sometime during his career...

think i saw somthin simmilar my self.............but that was a while ago

[Platty]

its a sad day but good luck to him! if the damn americans wasnt willing to offer a contract extension to a player who has served his club for 12 years and still has a couple left in him then what hope do the likes of giggs, scholes and neville have who will all be in that posistion soon.

good luck to keane, one of the best players the premiership has ever seen. His testimonial should be a good one.

it's possible he will go celtic for a couple of years or perhaps take up the irish management job ?

this be true. but neville i just dont like anyway cant wait for the day both have gone just can not stand him. and if that floridian nonse trys that crap with gigs i will be going back to manchester for a day trip, and will be pikkin up a few trophies of my own.

but the bottom line is the same peopl who are sayin fergi is going (and i did like the one against chelsea, that he would go after that match) :p
also were not long ago talkin about giggs, wene the man has still a lot more to offer, a lot more than kean has left in him anyway. and the ginger man has been lookin tired now for some time - such as life!

[Platty]

i reckon the new captain will be neville. possibly giggs but i think neville will be given it.

[mike-zim]

if you look at the united squad at present. how many of their first team are still going to be there come 2008/2009. not alot. and the people who are going to replace them are not looking all that great. in my mind alan smith should never have gone to united. he is not a mid field player he is a striker and it is an injustice to him that he is forced to play that position. he will pick up 2 or 3 red cards a season playing there with mis timed tackles and just his temper.

frustratin it must be for mr smith but he has started to make a great effort and looks more comfortable by the game in that red top.
he wants to be with untd because their a great team and have the daddy manager, otherwise you would be right he should have been a striker for another team, but that is it he knoes about team and wants to be at united for this. call it a sign of him maturing as a player.

and i will have beef if nevill becomes captin instead of giggs or the ginger man

[Blackfox]

Best o' luckt o Keano.

A great player and a role model to anyone wanting to wear a United shirt. Thanks for the memories.

in footballing terms these are the peak years for him till he is about 27. if he is only just starting to learn how to play in mid field you will never see the best of what he can offer. in my mind that is a waste. i feel sorry for him. but that is ferguson for you. his way is the right way no matter what.

mate i spoke to smith in person, hard not to wene he drinks in the same plce as you.even had my mate who be a leads fan have some heated momments with him. and the moanin about his possition is more vocal from every one else but him. he knoes he is apart of somthin greater than him self.

[uncle_buckman]

Big respect to Keane.

If Ferguson gets sacked i'll change my name to 'Sally' or 'Michael Jackson'.

[Ramar]

he was easilt the greatest captain for a team ever. he will be sorely missed, heres hoping he goes to juventus:P

I disagree. Every football fan should clearly recognise Bobby Moore as the best captain of all time, ever. I don't think anyone could surpass Bobby, he was fantastic as a player and a captain.

Oh, please..:P

[elniro]

My dad sent me a txt from work saying "look at football news" but i didnt expect if be such crappy news lol. When i read the headline i was like "o crap...."

Oh well Keane definitely the backbone of Uniteds success for the past 12 years and can do whatever he wants. Now the problem of finding a replacement within the existing team

[Charlie]

Celtic haven't entered talks with him yet, but it's pretty obvious they want to.
