Roy Keane

[Dolf]

Sunderland have a far better structure to go round the coach. In some ways it should be easier to manage than Hull and in some ways harder. As for Goldfish bowl I think you are correct. Lee Johnson didn;'t handle it well as we could see in the Lincoln match and others - he came across as desperate to be loved. Maybe a more soild, pragmatic choice like McCann or Neil would be better at handling it.

I think the prevailing view now is that it is Keane as first choice as we would all have it. The club is aware that Keane may not go for it and so we need a back up. As we speak the speculation would be the back would be one of McCann/Lennon/Warnock/Woodgate/Neil. I'd go for Neil nut McCann, in my view, would be a far better fit or choice than Lennon/Warnock/Woodgate.

Lennon would be a disaster for Sunderland

It was inexplicable that he was handed the Celtic job when you bear in mind what had happened at Bolton and Hibs

the lawyer wouldnt negotiate but would review the legal documents after ahgreed. i think, but could be wrong, that licensed agents are required to have insurance now as well.

I would hope so. Why more players don't ditch their agents & simply engage lawyers is beyond me. It seems to me that agents are little more than parasites. Tapeworms come to mind....

Wish he would f***ing do one with his "hilarious" dodgy spelling and dodgier salmon pants - he's a f***ing tedious shite like

Aye tedious is right, all an act

 

[riffraff]

You do if you only started following the club at that point…

Sherlock Force on the case!

Forgot he was even at Bolton!

 

[The Rat]

No point sacking Johnson at this stage in the season if it's McCann that gets it

This is the point for me

I don’t think he would do much better with current players, and long term he’s no better either

 

[Jorrd93]

What's your first language ? Painful trying to read this.

He thinks we're all uneducated doesn't he? Probably thinks he's communicating on our level, the f***ing dribbler.

 

[Weremuthe]

Might have been said earlier but I don't think the Roy of 15 years was particularly transfer savvy - so he might well be better suited with a DOF this time round.

 

[kildaremackem]

How would you compare the tactics keane faced as a manager in the Premier league with us, with what he's likely to face in the 3rd division with us? Do you reckon Paul Warne will be more tactically asute than fergie or wenger were?

fergie is that rare manager who evolved in football..wenger didnt..paul warne is tactically astute for this league..
do you think roy keanes success as a manager came because he was good at tactics? not all managers are..steve bruce has had a vastly more successfull career in football management than keane..and admits himself he doesnt know anything about tactics..

 

[Pacific]

we're not going to get anything today are we

best we can hope for is he either isn't on ITV tonight which would be a giveaway or he gets asked about it and gives something away. the former being more likely i think

no doubt he'll now be on and they'll completely ignore it

lots of gpood managers have been renderd obsolote by the way football has changed..for eg...mouroinho has gone sharply backwards in recent years..benitez another..benitez style of defensivly organising a team simply doesnt work now at the top level..because more innovative managers have figured out hopw to beat it.
every imdsutry and profession evolves..new methods are created and deployed...its human nature and football does not supercede that,,btw what year dod greece win the euros? a long time ago..rwkativekly speaking..

^^^^ what an absolute loser

This bloke is spelling all of that wrong on purpose!

He's basically said the same. Said looking back he loved the coaching and wants to do more of that. And didn't like the contracts, medical sides, etc.

'Sources' aye, when Poyet fell through.

That was an awkward day for everyone . Few mates of mine lost a load of cash based on what I was told

It's a good point but I think it's less about tactics or managers getting out thought. Mourinho and Benitez have been dialling it in for years.

Moyes only rediscovered his mojo once it dawned on him he'd be remembered as the fella who failed at United and burned down Sunderland.

 

[MrParsnip]

Because when a manager stays in a position for a long time it is nearly always because of good results on the pitch. I’m not sure how you can’t see that, is this bloke just on a wind up?

Just stick the bellend on ignore mate, it works a treat for me.

 

[Sons of The Wear]

eh? if a manager gets good results on the pitch...the club want tjhe to stay of course..but they get poached by bigegr wealghier clubs..thats why planning for continuity os stupid and the most successful clubs dont do it

Stop spoiling every fcuking thread you mis-spelling irritant.

He’s got a girlfriend half his age proper danger, should be banned from this place.

“Stewart, Stewart! Come through here. Look at how I’ve spelled ‘relatively’ wrong on purpose! They’ll never have a clue who I am now”

 

[Professor Yaffle]

what the fuck is a fake spelling?

You are Charlie MethVen and I claim my ₤5 prize. Your attempt to pretend you're one of the lads by spelling words badly shows you for what you are. This is from a mag by the way. Any genuine Sunderland supporter,and I mean any, is worth ten of a prick like yourself.

McCann has impressed in interview.

If Keane isn’t appointed now there have been some pretty epic misjudgements from our owner and his twin brother

To be fair, they’re not gonna say ‘McCann came over as a bit shit, tbh. We only interviewed him out of courtesy, as if we’d give that bugger the job over Keano!’
