I was just referring to the fact that the article was written in plain enough English that one could easily read between the lines and figure out the inference very easily. And as for joking, what can I say, I'm just a funny guy. Rowan Atkinson and Ricky Gervais have nothing on me. JB; I have no debate on whether Roy was right to criticize both the team and Fergie, he just needed to do so in the privacy of the dressing room or the boardroom. That dirty laundry had no business to be hung out in public for all to look at and have to smell (bad pun). And yes, Keano was right quite often. I too have disagreed with many moves Fergie has made over the years. But then who am I to be taken seriously anyway, when it appears they didn't take Roy seriously either.

There was something wrong with the club from top to bottom. SAF and CQ needed to hear a few frank home truths, as did the players. It is harder to tell with managers, but IMO, at the time SAF was as off form as his players. It was unfortunate that the dirty laundry was done in public but the club badly needed that slap in the face to get it back on track. Unfortunately, despite the fact it hurt, Roy was right far too often. I think it says something about the man, that he identified the malaise that set in after the treble win whilst the other players were still celebrating the achievement.
