Keane leaves ManU shock:

This is the bit that struck me.

Keane said: "It has been a great honour and privilege for me to play for Manchester United for over 12 years.

"During my time at the club I have been fortunate to play alongside some of the best players in the game and in front of the best supporters in the world.

Presumably he didn't mean most of the current squad when he said that.

I can see the Irish media going into an immediate newsroom chair wetting frenzy about whether he will now replace Brian Kerr as manager for the Republic side.

The full text wasn't there when I posted that.

And that's not a bad guess as to why he's left!

"Best supporters in the world"? The prawn buttie brigade?

**MikeH** · November 18, 2005, 10:41

I was put right on CG. He'll be off to Celtic I guess?

**reds4ever** · November 18, 2005, 10:44

My guess is player/coach at Celtic.

PA has started a seperate thread for this, it's funny how he doesn't join in the general football banter as much as he used to when United were winning things........?

I have supported FC United since the start of the season. It's how football should be

**reds4ever** · November 18, 2005, 10:49

You don't support the Manchester Bucanneers anymore?

**MikeH** · November 18, 2005, 10:50

How are they doing? (serious question)

**Solly** · November 18, 2005, 10:50

Won 9, drawn 2, lost 1. Top of the table by 3 points but the 2nd place team have a game in hand.

Jeez, +30 goal difference they must be knocking them in at a fair rate.

**MikeH** · November 18, 2005, 10:57

Scoring 3.41 per game... mind you you'd expect them to move up divisions quite fast to begin with.

**Solly** · November 18, 2005, 10:59

For a while yeah. They'll be playing against a team next season who have playing for a them the brother of someone at work.
