But only in his first season. I'm not being over critical. I just can't understand why people think he will be a brilliant choice given his track record since. No, I haven't listened to his interview - link please.

Is this the Roy Keane who told the AOL groundsmen that they could come and join the players for a hot meal instead of eating their sarnies in a cold shed?
Is this the Roy Keane that buys his old Boys Club in Cork a set of strips and loads of equipment every year and makes other charitable donations that are not publicised?
Is this the Roy Keane who is a pretty quiet bloke really, who is happy walking his dog in the countryside?
How the hell do you know he would have taken us down-you are using an assumption to strengthen your hideously weak argument.

Try a few full stops and paragraphs for your next piece of utter drivel.

So what if he let's people eat their dinner in front of the leckie fire, so what if he buys strips for his paddy friends, does he buy for local sunderland clubs?, so what if he walks his dog, I walk my dog but I'm still a wanker.
Full stop.

I'm sure the players will be fine, most of the young lads should be buzzing about working with Roy Keane rather than some run of the mill league one plodder. Ultimately we as a club need standards. We shouldn't be in this division and we won't get out of it without having people here who think it's unacceptable to stay a minute longer than we have to. I can't wait to know that someone with keanes standards is in the dressing room. Speakman ensuring we're on the right course long term, but Keane making sure that isn't at the expense of doing what we have to do in the short term. KLD will have another vastly experienced football person at the club, one who isn't a bull shitter, who doesn't need the money and is here for the right reasons and genuinely craves success. I might be being hopelessly optimistic but I really think this is going to be great for us.

It doesn't harm that Keane has sounded genuinely hurt about not getting many chances in management when others are never off the merry-go-round. He will be grateful that, once again, Sunderland are the ones that have given him a chance. Safe to say he already liked the club. Whether he can achieve success no one knows, but the fact is it looks like we're going to have an incredibly hungry, motivated Roy Keane in the dugout, setting the standards and wanting to prove himself especially for this club. I can't f***ing wait.

Well said GG.

Professionalism, high standards, and a winning attitude replacing bullshit and excuses for failures.
