""What happens in these job interviews? I'm intrigued. Why do they keep giving certain people a job? What happens in the interview that they sit there and go, and 12, 14 months later, 'He's not the guy for us'. "Do you not suss that out when you speak to them? You look somebody in the eye and go... You see who's making the decisions at Manchester United. You still have Ferguson and David Gill hanging on like a bad smell.""
""Keane's comments followed Monday's sacking of Ruben Amorim and appointment as caretaker of Darren Fletcher, who admitted asking Ferguson for "his blessing" before taking on the role. Keane's rant came in his role as a pundit for Arsenal's goalless Premier League draw against Liverpool, during which he was sat next to Daniel Sturridge, who could be seen suppressing a laugh and covering his face with his hands.""
Roy Keane criticized Manchester United's leadership and decision-making, questioning who is making appointments and why managers are dismissed roughly a year later. He singled out Sir Alex Ferguson and former chief executive David Gill as lingering influences and asked whether co-owner Jim Ratcliffe or director of football Jason Wilcox were truly in charge. The remarks followed the sacking of Ruben Amorim and the appointment of Darren Fletcher as caretaker, who sought Ferguson's "blessing" before taking the role. The comments were made while Keane appeared as a pundit during Arsenal's goalless draw with Liverpool. Ferguson still attends matches, had his ambassadorial role ended in 2024 and was reportedly told not to enter the dressing room, and he was involved in the 2013 appointment of David Moyes, who lasted ten months.
