Roy Keane

Whilst it sounds like a nice idea at this point, I cant see him suiting the set up with Speakman and co.
 
I sometimes think back to Mcgeady having a go at the lads in the dressing room saying 'youll never do anything in your career if you think drawing at accrington is acceptable, its a joke' and was labelled a bully.
Mentality is the biggest problem with this team. We undoubtedly have the best footballers. I said in another thread that Kevin Balls son has labelled this team 'mentality midgets' on twitter tonight. Roy Keane would sniff out the winners from the losers over night. He gets us, we get him. We all agree the recruitment at the minute is brilliant, which i felt was his achilles heel, it would be set up for him really. However, like others, I dont think hed drop to league one.

Again, like 95% of managers suggested on here, he won't be working anywhere where he doesn't have full control over recruitment.

That’s not the impression he gave in his book about the role of DoF.

It’s Sunderland who wouldn’t even entertain Keane not the other way round in my opinion.

Mind, I’m not sure Keane would like the cut of Speakman’s jib

More nostalgic bollocks. Give it a rest, There's a reason he's not managed since Lee Johnson was playing.

He has been involved in coaching during that time however. At a better level than what Johnson has ever operated at.

He won’t be coming though so I do think it’s a bit of a pointless conversation.

Excellent post
 
Another we should be avoiding. I love keane but no club has touched him for over a decade. If we do sack Johnson, we should go for a McKenna appointment like Ipswich have. A highly rated coach in an established set up.

He's yesterday's man. and revelling in his job at Sky. Every time it's sentimental crap wanting an ex-manager/player in. Mental.

All I know is that our current incumbent isn’t yesterdays or tomorrows man. He’s not achieved anything as a manager at any club he’s been at and he’s looking very unlikely to change that soon.

Whether Keane or any other ex players or manager should be in the conversation is up for debate but our future can’t be Lee Johnson.
