    2 reasons why Utd were the Biggest and best club in the world, David Gill and Sir Alex . Those two ran the club and loved the club. both things that i really feel many clubs no longer have in place, have times changed that much that Clubs need 8 people to do 2 peoples work now and no longer do we see the passion for the club shown by Ceo's and managers.
    Maybe managers dont get time to feel that way with around a 3 year contract before exiting.
    we dont need players or people at the club who ask for passion, they must Demand that passion. the Culture is rotting away Utd from the inside. i hope Ineos can change that.
    A duo like Sir Alex and David Gill will never be seen at a football club again. times have changed for the worse i feel.
    Fantastic Interview, Well done Rio. The passion from Mr Gill sure does stir the passion inside us Utd fans.

    Fergie would never have got rid of Keane if he was still in his prime as a player, the video incident was just the excuse he needed, Roy was past his best and Fergie taking things into account decided it would be better for the club if he left. Roy was stitched up a bit, but he knew Fergie was ruthless, surprised Roy seems to have been surprised the way it ended, he of all people should have seen it coming.
