If you\u2019re going after the big prizes, we\u2019ve been fortunate to pick one or two up. You want to do it honestly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cYou want to look back at your career and think we did everything. You win some games, you lose some games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cYou can\u2019t be looking back at what Man City have done and found guilty of, I know there\u2019s an appeal. We\u2019ve been sitting here and praising Man City and saying they\u2019re amazing and bringing in amazing players. And Pep turning really good players into superstars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cBut the way they were doing it, that\u2019s the issue, nothing on the players. If I was a player and there were stories about stuff we were doing at Manchester United, I\u2019d be disgusted. I\u2019d be disgusted if there were any dodgy dealings and anyone cooking the books<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Some people think this is a bit strong, but I wouldn&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;ve earned a league title if there was something dodgy going on in the background. Absolutely not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cWe talk about lads going out and giving their all and picking up injuries but that is your job, that\u2019s what you\u2019re supposed to do when you\u2019re giving it your all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;You just hope everyone is else is on the same page and being honest and everyone else is trying to do it the proper way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cI hear a lot of ex-players saying that Man City players gave it their all, we know that. That\u2019s not the issue. But they had unbelievable players on the bench to come on and make them stronger and get them over the line against teams like Liverpool who are pushing each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roy Keane\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/0_Keane4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Roy Keane has issued his verdict on Man City's guilty verdict\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Roy Keane has issued his verdict on Man City&#8217;s guilty verdict(Image: Sky Sports)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roy Keane has suggested he would be \u2018disgusted\u2019 if he was a Manchester City player following their landmark&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":926570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,39453,596,7886,58989,1614,85],"class_list":["post-926569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-enzo-maresca","tag-football","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-manchester-city-fc","tag-premier-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=926569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=926569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=926569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=926569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
