The JournalLive had this to say about Shay and the current state of affairs:

“Whether the sale of Shay Given will help that happen remains to be seen. The Irishman did not even make the trip to Manchester, his absence, according to the official party line, due to a bad knee. A bad state of mind would perhaps have been a more accurate reason.”

“His presence, though, still loomed large over the evening. The next time these two great under-achievers of English football meet, United fans will almost certainly be greeted by the painful sight of Given in a City shirt and there was no getting away from the fact his defection is one of the most painful episodes in the club’s troubled recent history.”

“Throughout all of the managerial changes, the boardroom turmoil, the heady European adventures and the many depressing anti-climaxes, Given has been the one consistently class act.”

“He has been a small, reassuring constant in an ocean of change and his departure will sting as only the bitter break-up with a loved one can.”
