magical thinking that Keane would suddenly become a good manager just because he's back at Sunderland even though he's tried and failed elsewhere and the top two leagues won't touch him.

It's not about sentimental redemption fairy tales : we need the absolute best manage we can attract at this level on our budget.

4 months to ride the crest of a wave. He’s done it before and I think he can do it again. BHH
 
Heart is going mental, head is in turmoil

Reckon that’s the position of loads of us.

But… if anyone can stick a rocket up us it’s definitely someone like Keane

Think we lost our first four games of that season didn’t we? Before he came in.

No but I mean they think it's almost nailed on. KLD could interview him and think fuck that

Highly unlikely. Keane is extremely erudite about football. The clip I posted earlier on summed him up perfectly when he was asked how he’d cope managing Maguire and De Gea after slagging them off mercilessly - “I’d take them to one side and say ‘prove me wrong’ and that would be the end of it”.

No one would touch pardew for a long time until the mags took a punt and he did ok for them. It's impossible to know how a managerial appointment will work out. I thought we'd cracked it when we appointed O'Neil and Moyes and Coleman

Agreed. KLD is not stupid, and he’s social-media savvy. This is his way of cranking up the hysteria ahead of an official announcement. He did exactly the same with Defoe.

I also don’t believe that Keane is still waiting for an interview tomorrow. KLDs social media “antics” suggest he’s already been offered/accepted the job.

It’d be incredibly stupid if he liked that without the deal already signed and sealed.

Itd almost be on a par with Ian Botham’s Twitter moment for online sacklessness.
