Just reading about the tiff between Bruno and Keano.
At what point does feedback from legends who have been there, done that, wore the shirt with pride lifting multiple trophies, pivot from valuable winners' insight into becoming a hindrance to a current team's mentality?

I would say regularly nowadays. It seems pundits are being quite opinionated, which reflects social media. Everyone has an opinion, and it generates clicks and attention.
In some ways I quite like it. I'm really not a fan of Carragher, but I did enjoy him calling Enzo a cheat for falling to the floor clutching his face. We need more of that.
Neville has an opinion on anything and everything, and people lap it up, so can we blame him?
As for Keano, he's forging a niche for himself, and it's working for him. Bruno's beef is that Keane quoted him incorrectly, which is fair enough. In the main, though, players need to ignore it and accept it as just sideshow drama.

I wonder how successfully SAF would handle the likes of Rashford, Sancho, Pogba and Garnacho in this current social media climate.
I appreciate that the majority of questions put to ex-players are geared to generate a controversial take at times, but the ratio of negatives to positives is unbalanced for me personally.

Carragher is a clown. Surprised he still has a job after the spitting incident. Probably his relationship with Neville saved him. Did he say anything about Mac Alistair etc diving for years? Never mind his comments about Pep and SAF.

Say what you want, but Carragher is always in Liverpool's corner, always defending their players, always making excuses. Then you have Neville. I can't stand him on commentary. It is as if he's trying so hard to seem impartial that he ends up supporting whatever team is playing against Utd.
Roy Keane, on the other hand, is just a miserable old bloke who's always mad at something. He seems to think we are still in the 90s and you can two foot opponents with no reprimand.
And the lie he told about Bruno is just typical. He comes across as trying too hard to get sound bytes. As good as he was, he wouldn't survive a day in modern football.
Scholes and Butt, the less said the better. Absolute t***s. They always seem keen for a Utd loss, so they farm views for their nonsense show.
Come to think of it, a lot of our so-called legends don't seem to like us very much. Rooney, Becks, Evra and Rio are a few active in the media that show their support openly.

Keane should apologise for misquoting Bruno. On this one, he got it wrong and it was very unfair criticism. Bruno has said he doesn't care about criticism; in fact, he likes it, it helps him to improve, but Keane got the quote wrong and used it as a stick to beat him with, so Keane should just say, "Look, I'm sorry I made a mistake," but he won't.
Not really sure why any pundit wants to have a go at the best player in the league this season, who has been absolutely phenomenal for us; it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
The game he was talking about meant nothing as well, and he was making out like we were celebrating Bruno's assists over a goal in a game that was important, when actually the game meant nothing. All very odd.

Like I previously said, did Keane think of the team when he went to do Haaland? Nope, that was all about him, so take what he says with a pinch of salt. They are all as bad as each other, all about money and freebies.

Most liked them when they sang Ole's praises. Looks like it depends on whether people agree with them.
Can't stand Gary Neville on commentary myself, bends over backwards to show he is not supporting United to the point of being anti.

Football used to have pundits. Now it has ageing main characters. Every match is just another opportunity for someone to sigh heavily into a microphone and say, "In my day..." before collecting 400,000 views on whatever social media platform they have.
This group of ex-United players seem almost desperate for the club to stay broken because if United ever properly recover, the mythology around their era weakens slightly. Their legacy depends on being "the last great United side." So every setback becomes another chance to remind everyone how much tougher, better and more elite they supposedly were. Instead of wanting the club to rise again, some of them sound more comfortable protecting their own status in history.
I've never liked these football podcasts, never listened or watched them, and hated that ex-players use the club to self promote. I don't really watch pre match, half time and post match analysis anymore of games, and when I do I am always surprised at the individuals who I enjoy and make thought provoking points. One of these is Daniel Sturridge, I thought he would be useless but he speaks very well. Keane, Scholes, Neville should be brilliant but it's rinse and repeat. It's boring now. I hate it as these lads delivered some of the greatest moments for us as football fans, but I wish, like retired footballers before them, they'd disappear gracefully. Maybe open a pub and turn up at charity matches once a year.

Lol, pre match and half time seem to be endless ads nowadays.
