Roy Keane

[HoxtonMackem]

I’d still prefer Rob Edwards from FGR - I think he’s going to be a fantastic coach. However, I feel like I would crawl on broken glass from here to Sunderland to be there when Roy Keane comes out of the tunnel for the first time.

Get yourself up.

If he comes it'll be one of the best atmospheres at the SOL, dare I say the best, since that night V everton under big sam.

Going to be great regardless with JD there.

There’s the “modern day football” bollocks again. As if it’s now a 15 a side game played on hoverboards.

It’s a funny thing - I disagreed with just about everything you posted about LJ, but you‘ve posted nothing but good sense about Keane.
Keep up the good work!

Is this the same Tony Loughlan who was number 2 to Sean Dyche in the premier league last season?

He had a hip replacement in July so stood down at Burnley. He'll probably be back and I'll be glad. He and Keane led us to an outstanding promotion!

Well presumably he is a lot better now having worked at a high level for decade. However, he came to us from coaching primary school aged kids, and Keane needed more experienced help at that stage.

No Alan Nixon surprised normally ITK about us usu

It’s a lot like the ‘emperor’s new clothes’ all this adulation of Keane?

People have very short and selective memories - I suppose that’s what being so shite for so long does as we all crave the slightest success?

I really hope it works out, but it’s a massive risk imo

Is every appointment not a risk?- we are not very good at appointing guaranteed success
Seems the vast majority are behind it if it happens -let’s go with it if so -get behind him and Defoe et al and see where it goes
Won’t be dull that is for sure -if you haven’t seen it watch Defoes interview that gets me excited if nothing else
Our new midfielder sounds very good as well according to supporters of his old club so lots to be positive about

Hope the players get it…

If they don’t, they’ll get it in the dressing room…

I wish there was a decent in-crowd version of our lot singing it back in the day, but the few I've found were filmed on potatoes, pure 240p quality from back in the noughties.

He clearly didn't because we went up as Champions!

There'll be a few twitching arses in our squad tonight with this news mind

Going to see how I can get there. Trains aren’t running right, last flight is too early, and the chauffeur has the day off!

 

[Deleted member 50746]

Or 30 thousand booing if the team plays worse…?

No one appointed would guarantee that wouldn’t happen -unless you can name someone ?..all I know is many supporters needed a lift after Bolton -KLD has acted after some said he wouldn’t..so let’s back his judgement ( seems most are to be fair )

 

[Keith S30S]

probs not wrong there

but we have a very very young squad, and too much people causing too much shit

its inexperience more than anything that has cost us

It was poor management IMO. Johnson should have never got the job. We have given the job to 3 journey man lower league managers and they've all been deservedly sacked.

There should be some after Bolton

For the first time, Kyril will get to see what SAFC is all about.
I think it’ll knock his socks off.

Good. If you want to get this club back on its feet, and out of this twatful league, follow Roy.

If not, laters lads.

The right characters we need, will be buzzing to play and learn for Keano.

Just seen the story about Woodgate being in the frame too. Keane or Woodgate gives me flashbacks to the days just before Bruce there was a random story about Mancini being offered it.

Woodgate can bog off dont want him at all

Pretty much my thoughts. I can’t help but feel a missed opportunity to get a good coach that can develop with us like Edwards or Manning might come back to haunt us but the chance of things going well under Keane is very alluring.

Personality wise Roy Keane is the Anti-Johnson

 

[Pete the Pirate]

We need someone to organize our defence and instil some grit and determination. My abiding memory of Keane’s teams was that they fought to the end and snatched points at the death rather than throw them away. If he can work with the DOF and KLD and get us organized it could work.
It’ll have the stadium rocking that’s for sure.

Good point.

At its height the Roy Keane team snatched loads of iconic last minute wins and comebacks in an almost fairytale way.

The current team we have, and it's been a problem since Jack Ross, keep conceeding last minute equalisers in contrast.

The same arses that had thumbs up them v Bolton…
