Roy Keane

[winnie]

Awful manager. Would be a car crash bringing him back

So, you weren't born when he scraped us from relegation candidates to winning the league then.

 

[Raich Carter]

Watch it end up being Steve Kean.

Turns out all reporters have misheard.

Someone wrote on KLDs car saying appoint “kean”

 

[Scotlands number 9]

I'd wanna be back in Ku mate, with Hey Jude belting out

God I remember the night in there after the Luton game when we won the league, spent half the night pouring red stripe all over me self singing that non stop.

 

[rubberface]

Well well well

(Well done Wheatsheaf)

No, other people have been told stuff aswel mate.

End of the day we know more than any other set of fans that whoever the manager is there's absolutely no guarantees about how well they will do.
I mean we've had big names who've had a proven track record and they were a disaster
We've had managers in their first jobs like Reid and Keane who got us promoted. It's almost impossible to predict how well a manager will do.

Don't know if it has been mentioned (Haven't finished reading the thread) but Reidy had previously managed and had been sacked by Man City.

Not sure about this. Would obviously be great fun for the nostalgia, but football a very different place now. A lot of League One teams all use a data driven approach now, gone are the days of 442 and vibes. He'd kick a rocket up their backsides, but can't see him being the man to know what to do tactically if we're going in at half time 2-0 down.

It’s a fair point but I don’t think rotherham are the most tactically flexible side by the way. They just know how to win game at this level

Keith Downie shitting himself at the prospect of this

Only because Wee Phillie will break the news before him... Again

 

[rubberface]

Seems to be being reported everywhere now (that he's getting interviewed).

..they might be a bit behind

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Yep. Two of the best PL players who have been here before and know what it’s all about. Both left with a real affection for the club and unfinished business.

I'm gonna be that horrible pessimist, but I'd hate Keano to ruin his good relationship with the fans here. Defoe can do no wrong at this point really. Even if we don't go up, then he'll retire and people will still love him. But if Keane came and it was a disaster and such a shame for everyone.

put an even bigger rocket up there arses

 

[Sons of The Wear]

Few of our lads are following him like

Needs to be a quick, concerted social media campaign across all SAFC platforms to build this up and let him and the club know he’s the man most want.

Saturday man, if they announced it. What a fcuking buzz!!

 

[Wardley Makem]

Keane wouldn't be my choice but I'd prefer to give him a shot at it than some of the others suggested.

6m deal, option of a further year or 2 if he gets us up. Makes sense and he's only 50, not exactly over the hill. He's won promotion, managed in the prem. He's mint, what's not to love

 

[deleted user 785]

It’s a really lazy assumption to make when people make him out to be some sort of raging hothead. Maybe he as as a player but he was fantastic for safc. He doesn’t suffer fools and he speaks his mind. Our new owner and DoF are football people. Big difference from Ellis short

Good post here from the double denim Heed case. Well done x

 

[HoxtonMackem]

..they might be a bit behind

The David Jones (Sky) connection I think has helped massively here IF it turns out to be true.

 

[jakey j]

The press are behind.

 

[Why sack Durban]

..they might be a bit behind

You think he’s already spoken to them ?

 

[The Great MES]

Loved him when he was here but that was a long time ago. He's nothing more than a sky rentaquote now. He's been out of the game for too long, we may aswell give it to Reify if we're going for nostalgia.

..boooom^^^^

 

[Dobblemackem]

Haway then tell us more if that’s the case?

Reidy just sits on twitter reposting political stuff and sups cans these days.
