Roy Keane a pariah?

A chap posted on here the other day a really good link regarding our expenditure since our return to the promised land.
Really didn't make pretty reading for the Roy Keane fans mind. Over 60m spent in two seasons with very little coming back in.
Is this perhaps the reason we find ourselves in the position we do in regards to the apparent prudence being shown in the market?
I appreciate the job he done in getting us up when on our knees but his devil may care attitude towards the club I believe cost us our one big chance to actually make some decent strides in the top flight.
That level of financing is unprecedented at our club. Fat brucey seems to cop the majority of flak and he isn't blameless but I think Keane gets a free ride from our fans and his reign needs to be scrutinised further I believe.

Do we have a net spend on all managers over the past 10 years ?? I reckon Bruce will feature as one of our best.

A manager will have an idea of budget though and will know the impact on that budget the signing of a 9m or 8m or 5m pound player will have on future targets. To say he just says but him him and him is ridiculous. Keane has a lot to answer for in my opinion.

Roy Keane is only behind Niall Quinn as the most important figure in our clubs last 10 years.

He was never a 9m keeper mind. Not a chance In hell we'd have made our money back even if he'd stayed injury free. We also ended up with a better one in Mignolet.

Disagree only 24 when joined and a huge prospect. Injured before his best years. If all worked out well he could still be our keeper now. So 9million over a good few years isnt too bad

The man who was well on his way to taking us back were he found us only with a load more debt? Really?

A decent keeper nothing more. Mignolet is what a top keeper looks like.

Gordon was a far better Keeper than Mig.

Miles better.
 
I genuinely believe we wouldn't even be in the premier league right now if it wasn't for keane. The club was a utter shambles with garbage players. Without the signings, momentum and feel good factor keane established we could easily have ended up another Middlesbrough

He walked away because short was reigning him in and he didn't like it. Then decided to drag us through the courts afterwards!

Excellent reasoning but you've failed to convince me to agree.

And without short reigning the egotistical fooka in we could have been another Portsmouth!
