Rumours have been flying around today that Roy Keane has walked out on SAFC.
Now I have Mr Keane down as several things:
A young inexperienced manager – YES
A manger that makes mistakes – YES
A manager that learns from his mistakes – YES
A disciplinarian – YES
(and I am sure he would freely admit to all of the above)
A quitter – NO.
I will obviously look extremely silly if he does now leave before his contract is up, but personally I have Roy down as a loyal manager who will honour any contract he has signed and definitely not the sort of person to quit just because we have had a few poor results.
We also know he has the full backing of the Drumaville consortium for more than the short term (unless you also want to call Niall Quinn a liar?)
It amazes me that so many people believe rumours presumably started so someone could make a few quid on the betting exchanges.
See you (and Roy) at Blackburn.
