and part of his job is to pick the team.His house rules are no one upsets team spirit.He never says anything about players publicly,he protects them so when someone like stam for instance writes a book critisizing everyone at the club,he should go,however good he is.Ruud thought he was untouchable in the first 11,and when he was complete shit against liverpool,and before,fergie dropped him.Now he's dropped giggs,neville,fletcher,ronaldo,silvestre,etc,and their reaction was to fight for their places?Ruud didnt,he went round sulking,and if reports are true insulting many players,you cant have that

your asking why they were kicked out or in Ruuds case "being kicked out" - no one can say what goes on behind the scenes its all speculation - alot more could have gone on which no one knows about - as for the players you have mantioned above - i think we have moved on pretty well from their departure.

Absolutely spot on Ian. We never lacked talent but he came in and set massive standards that our younger players chose to adopt and success followed. I don't care what you want to call him, to me he is the best player to ever wear a united shirt in the last 40 years.

Because he is the archetypical control freak. Also a perfectionist driven by insecurities. Very common traits in a born leader rather than a consensual manager.
Will give those he views as exceptional ( Giggs, Scholes, Cantona, Keane) extreme loyalty. Those as he regards as just 'very good' ( Beckham, Stam, RVS,Ince) will be expendable in his grand scheme.
He expects to be able to 'change the world' to his view, hardly ever will he change his view to line up with a consensus.
