Keane may not forgive Sir Alex Ferguson

  • Intro:

    Roy Keane may never forgive Sir Alex Ferguson after Kean'es departure from Old Trafford in 2005 and the revelations in Sir Alex Ferguson's own autobiography.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Roy Keane:

    (Q. Will you ever forgive Sir Alex Ferguson?)

    "Good question. I'm not sure, I'm not sure. Football is a small world and eventually, you will cross paths with people again. Whether I would ever bump into him or not, whether it be at a game or sometimes there are conferences going on. The problem, I suppose, I had and one of the reasons when you are writing stuff and you are reflecting on it, is that when you have worked with somebody for such a long time - and obviously we had our disagreements and I departed, and I have no problems with that, it's fine. It's afterwards when people start coming out with all sorts of nonsense. For Alex Ferguson, not just to criticise myself, but other players who were part of a team that brought some good days to lots of supporters, for him to criticise that when you think of what he made out of it - he made millions of pounds out of it. He's got his statues, he's got his stand named after him - to come back and criticise. I said at the time, I wasn't too bothered about myself, but to criticise people who brought him success was just ridiculous. Will I ever forgive him? I don't know. Listen, I don't know. We'll see if we ever cross paths again. I'm sure we will - cross paths, I mean."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Roy Keane:

    People are always saying it's this, it's honest but a lot of this is about the stuff that's been said about me over the years, even from ex-teammates, it's a pack of lies, and lies and lies, and sometimes you just say, 'Listen, I've got to go out and say something myself, defend myself a little bit'. And hopefully the book will reflect that, but in terms of the real me, hopefully you never get to see that or get to know that, because that's part of the game, isn't it?

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Roy Keane:

    "It's not all about falling out with people, you know strangely enough in the course of the book and in the course of my career, I actually don't think I fell out with that many people. But obviously the ones I did were obviously highlighted. But as I said, if people like it they like it."
