I’m always interested when clubs decide to throw out the “loyalty card”, so when a guy like Roy Keane who is the manager of Premiership side Sunderland and the former Captain of Manchester United decides to speak about it, my ears perk up quickly.

Keane, who left Manchester United after being seemingly forced out after giving an interview to MUTV (in which he crushed a few of his teammates and might have gone after Sir Alex’s number 2, Carlos Queiroz)  back in 2005, said: “When a club is finished with you, they get rid. My advice is look after yourself. If you get a chance for bigger and better things, then go for it. I’ve experienced that myself. People question players’ loyalty. I question clubs’ loyalty. It’s a business to them.”

He went on to say,  “If you’re not needed then you can be out of the door in ten minutes, and I’m speaking from experience. Clubs buy and sell players. Clubs sell players sometimes like a piece of meat.”

I’ve got to agree with the way Keaneo delivered this one, based on my own playing experiences alone.
