Roy Keane

[Arkle]

Recruitment was one of the big things that let him down. If he only has a say, and not control, that's a plus for me.

He seemed to like to sign problem players and then chastise and ostracise them (Diouf, Chimbonda, Cisse to a degree).

As a high profile figurehead and an initial crowd draw, he was fantastic and he dragged us from looking League 1 bound to promotion initially.

We used to laugh at the mags over their Keegan and Shearer obsession. We are going the same over Keane and Defoe. We just lost 6-0 and it’s seems forgotten over a couple of big names.

I like Defoe but can’t stand Keane. Some of the things he’s said and done over the years are appalling. We will become Ireland reserves again and that won’t get us where we want to be.

I’m very dubious about the prospect of him returning. I just don’t see the logic and I’ll be a little underwhelmed

Clubs aren’t falling over themselves to get him into their club, why should we? Awful manager even worse pundit

Can someone please post a screen shot?

@Steve F who was the only one to break the Johnson sacking on here and got stick until it broke.

Hmm

Johnson getting sacked wasn’t out of question like

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Fair play to Kyril like if we bring in Keane and Defoe in the space of a week. Two people who are held in very high regard with us fans to give us a much needed lift and some momentum.

If it was Donald/Methven, they'd probably bring in Sbragia and Stern John instead.

I know you're sceptical of itks as am I. But he posted it about 15 mins before it broke. He seems legit.

Imagine Roy Keane in the technical area and Defoe's second debut. The SOL will be electric Saturday.

 

[Hyltons finest]

Not sure if already mentioned but his brother also liked it

To gain their first away win of the season for good measure.

We all know the script.

If its not Keane now and another LJ type fella is appointed then things will be very flat

 

[sofatester]

I love Keano, and have so many incredible memories from his time here, but please please no.

Will you be saying the same if he takes us up ?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I wonder if he's been lined up longer than we think. Sounds like Johnson was on thin ice for a while and Dave Jones must have talked to Keane about the possibility of coming back if and when the job became available.

There’s a few who I trust I dunno I just don’t think it’s the most unthinkable thing to guess he will get sacked

Anyway we will find out this week anyway! Please god

 

[Lord Potts]

If keane doesn’t take it he’s a fool like. He won’t get a better job.

I think that Roy Keane is an realistic and honest man. If he doesn't take the job (and I hope he does take it) it will be because he thinks it's the best thing for SAFC and the best for him. NOT because he's a fool.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Buzzing if we bring in Keane like, anyone unhappy with this potential appointment can get fucked. x

 

[alicante mackem]

Some of the negativity on here is way overboard mind. Maybe, some folk getting their told you so moments in, just in case he's not a success.
He'll take us up this season. Then worry about it in June.
