It's a funny old thing that. Some names keep getting jobs, others don't.

He has however had assistant jobs, which included a pretty successful 5 year spell with Ireland.

Who knows why he hasn't been given an opportunity but why discount him on those grounds? Plenty people like Grayson are never out of work long but what use are they?

Firstly, can I say I’d be happy If Keane does take over. He done a good job here in his first spell and raised the club’s profile. He would give everyone a massive boost but there’s certainly a few reservations this time.

How will he cope with managing poorer players? His standards were huge as a player and as a manager. He was used to managing Premier League players. No disrespect to the players here now, but our team is made up of championship/league one players who aren’t as skilful.

He’s been out of a job for a decade and his last managerial roles have hardly been a success. Will he be out of touch? Will his non-nonsense approach with players be accepted in the dressing room nowadays?

Will he commit and put everything into the job? Rumours of him being away from the training ground during the week in the latter stages of his reign and his reluctance to move here permanently did not help him at boardroom level or with the players (disclaimer. Not sure if this was true, but there was definitely rumours at the time).

Does he know the league? He’s a premier league panellist but I doubt that he knows much about league one, if at all. Will he have the feintest idea about teams like Wimbledon and Cheltenham?

How will he work with the off field hierarchy? His relationship with Short was rumoured to be strained. What will it be like with Kyril? How will he work with Speakman over transfers? Will he expect a war chest?

Obviously a lot of these questions can’t be answered and time will tell but there’s a lot of doubt in his appointment and there’s no guarantees that he will be as successful this time. Then again, there’s no guarantee any manager will be.

Might be a good time to return to your old ways if you think roy keane is the answer , he would destroy these kids
 
If Keane joins it will be a roller coaster ride.

I remember reading his second autobiography and thinking he’s definitely not finished with us.

My one slight reservation is that unlike his first spell here he won’t have an opportunity to bring his own players in.

If he’s going to work a miracle and take us up automatically he’ll have to do it with this squad …. but if Johnson can get them to third ….
