I am pulled in two directions about him. Under Keano we had our longest unbeaten run in 06/07. Of the final 19 games in 2007 of that season we lost only 1. Colchester away. None of the first 17 were losses. We have never gone 17 without losing since. I cannot remember when it was we last did that.This gives me hope tactically he is good enough to get us out. But I fear he won't be experienced enough.

Be brave, little one. Face the fear & do it anyway, SBC....
 
I’m not against it. I’d welcome him back and think there is a chance he would do the job at hand. But to be completely honest I’m not sure he still has what made him succeed first time around, he’s a bit like a tribute band nowerdays. And even if he was still the same man, we know his ceiling and would have to sack him and find a new manager in 3 years max anyway. I’d rather go for somebody who may have a considerably higher ceiling where we aren’t asking ourselves ‘right who is next then’.

That said I feel this post is a bit negative towards Keane, I’d support it and just keep my eyes on this season despite having doubts, he would certainly bring a fantastic feel good factor back to the club.
 
He had a great spell galvanised the club then tailed off and left in a huff. His managerial career since has been unimpressive. He won't have a transfer window. If he comes I will support him, I suspect he likes being on the telly more than he fancies managing in League One. We'll see.
