I finally saw the whole interview last night after hearing about it all week.

For me, SAF was very honest and clearly realises that the defence needs sorting. He more or less said he will get new defenders in, and that once he does (and assuming they play well), then we will win the league next year.

He also clearly wants Roy Keane's children after mentioning him every two minutes. He also said he was the best player he has ever had.

Slagged off Disco Dwight a bit. Basically said he has no future at the club, which we all knew anyway.

Inadvertantly, he also more or less said we will be getting a new striker. He said 3 strikers was not enough which is why he went for Paul Di Canio. As he still has three strikers, he must be looking to get another one in.

Also said he was surprised Scholesy struggled in the early season went push further forward.

One final thin he said is that if Keano and Becks had been fit for both legs of the CL Semi against Bayer, we would have won the Champions League.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of if's and but's.

It's clear from both this and the Keano interview that they have enormous and mutual respect for eachother!
 
I haven't watched the interview myself. From what you mentioned it's very encouraging to hear Fergie's opinion to strengthen the team -- Defence should be the first priorty, and then we should also buy one more forward. With Fergie publicly declared Disco has no future here, I think we can get rid of him very soon and then we can clear the way to bring another striker in.
 
SAF and Keano found their soulmates in each other. They both have a will to win that very few people in the world game can match. I'd have their children too except that Im a bloke, and I'm not that way inclined, and I'm married (not a smoke screen) :p
