Roy Keane a pariah?

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

Mig has just picked up a runners up medal and will be playing champs league this season. If only I could find that Stoke away game when Gordon hoisted the white flag whilst stood on his line as the big Stokies came at him!
Cracking shot stopper but soft as shite and glued to his line.

You're quite right, the spending needed to be curbed drastically.

But... Roy didn't sign the cheques and he did a near impossible job.

He had his faults but dear god the job he did was amazing

That actually doesn't look too bad.

If a fit Gordon had been in the scouse goal they'd have won the league man. Mig ain't all that - they're in for a replacement already though I can't remember who it is

If Craig Gordon hadn't had his career ruined Mig wouldn't have even gotten a sniff

Mig could only dream of pulling off the save Gordon did against Bolton. Was voted the greatest ever save in the prem.

But he did reign him in and we aren't another Portsmouth. He came at the right time and left at the right time and everything inbetween was nothing but targets achieved, whilst giving all of us hope again after the lowest point since relegation to the third division.

Peter Reid in almost keeping us up with a truly horrific team with no money at all in our last season at Roker was an impossible job. A lot of managers have come up with a quarter of the budget afforded to Keane and kept sides up.

It's yer classic 'MrJardine' argument - blab on about someone who pretty much got a career-ending injury - ie noone can prove owt but it won't stop him spending the next ten hours gannin on about it :lol:

Gordon was very heavily linked with arsenal, who were far more than Liverpool were when they bought mig, before his injury.

Almost is nothing in football. Nothing.

Roy Keane took over when the club was the lowest it had been for decades.

We had just been humiliated in the league and were looking nailed on for relegation the next season after losing all our games.

He came in and immediately lifted everyone from the staff to the fans.

Not only that but he turned things around and got the shower of shite we wre promoted at the first attempt.

He then went on to spend £60m turning us into an actual premier league side. The tv money for one season will have covered that.

Yes he threw money at a problem but other managers have tried that and still failed.

Anyone who knocks what Keane did doesn't have SAFC truly at heart IMOIMO

Came in at right time and left us in a mess. Peter Reid came in when we were staring relegation in face. He kept us up then won promotion next season with no money at all. We were a lot lower when he came in believe me.

Seriously is there any point to your guffoonery?
Let's keep it simple:
Is Keane a pariah? No he's not.
Was Gordon a good keeper? Yes he was.
Is Mig a decent keeper? Yes he is.
Is MrJardine a good poster? No he's not.
End of story surely?
