Roy Keane’s punditry was criticised by Richard Keys and Andy Gray[\/caption]<\/p>\n
But in a joint interview with the Telegraph<\/a>, Keys and Gray – who were sacked by Sky in 2011 – criticised pundits for being too harsh. <\/p>\n Keys said: “Not everything in football is s***. But it is if you watch British television.<\/p>\n “I’ve had this conversation with (Arsene) Wenger. He said to me, ‘Why do Sky spend \u00a31.1billion on a three-year cycle of broadcast rights and then spend that period destroying it?’<\/p>\n “He’s right. I don’t understand it either. If Andy or I had offered a scintilla of the same criticism to the modern player, we would have been out on our ear.” <\/p>\n READ MORE IN FOOTBALL<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n HAA-PPY DAYS<\/p>\n Haaland 50\/1 to score anytime during Liverpool vs Man City with BetVictor<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n UNITED NEWS<\/p>\n United join Chelsea in Bellingham race while ‘keeping tabs’ on Toney<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Keys remembers Keane hitting out at him after the presenter criticised the Irishman’s reign as Ipswich manager in 2008. <\/p>\n He said: “The guys who are criticising were probably the most sensitive of their time.<\/p>\n “When he was manager at Ipswich, Roy hammered me.
