I'm sure it is, but it's noticeable how he's suddenly started putting his oar in now Hodgson's been sacked. If anyone needed any confirmation that it was the right decision to get rid, Ferguson saying that Hodgson should have been given more time was it.

hmmmmm whilst I am sure he is conscious of locking horns with Dalglish again, and despite Hodgson being a friend of his, Fergie has gone on the record a million times in the past saying managers generally aren't given enough time, i expect Hodgson being given the boot by Liverpool after a few months comes under that banner too.

Despite the loathing of him from some quarters, he seems to be very highly respected and even liked by most members of the LMA and has been very vocal in his support of his peers generally in the past and condemned owners / directors who chop and change their managers every 5 minutes.

He'll always have one eye on what's happening at Liverpool, but i doubt he's sh1tting himself about it right now.

I think Fergie is as Scottish as they come, regardless of how long he's been down here.

suggestions are that Keys has fallen on his sword (so to speak)

listened to a lot of his talksport confessional this afternoon, and whilst i have some sympathy, he sounded more sorry that he'd been put in the spotlight than sorry about what he'd actually done.

To be fair to Keys he's not done anything the average bloke down the pub has done. He's not done it in public either.

It's a safe bet that every man in the country has discussed the suitability for mating of a female. I bet most women have done it as well about men. His crimes are very minor.

Oh i agree totally, I know from experience, and anyone from on here who came into the show when we used to do touchline will know that the stuff that gets said off mic or during the ad breaks is done so because it's not stuff to go on air, 'banter', tittle tattle whatever. Had someone stuck that in the public domain we'd all have been in trouble.

There's stuff that has been said to me by women that if i was the sort to take offence would be construed as sexual harrassment, when i was first introduced to the regional MD of the first radio group i worked for the first thing she said to me was 'fancy a f*ck?, a bloke would be out on his ear for that - as I guess she would be i had been bothered (and no i didn't f*ck her or complain)

Keys' has "apparently" resigned from Sky Sports.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Wed Jan 26, 2011 7:10 pm  

Still laughing at keys in that 'smash it' video, it's like a Partridge sketch or something. Like he's read a 'how to be a lad' book, same when he's talking about football generally.
