Martin O’Neill on Roy Keane and the Sunderland job

“It’s a great fit. It’s splendid news.

“From my experiences working with Roy, I would really want to play for him and I would readily accept any hard words for what the praise would mean if I did something to please him.”

Where’s he said that?

Speakman has done a great job with recruitment! Did you see the bench yesterday! Getting rid of Flannigan and O BRIEN also makes sense. He can’t go on the pitch and play but our squad is the strongest in league! If he ties up Keane, I would say Speakman has done an outstanding job!

some seem to think anyone who is articulate is a changer! Far too simple a view on life!

Look at those exclamation marks. Are you a town crier?

That last quote is bang on the money for any professional footballer who wants to develop and better themselves.

O'Neill played under Clough so I would expect him to think this way as many others who played for him did/do.

Not sure our players have the same mindset tbh. I could see them bursting into tears if Keane tears into them.
 
We need him even more after yesterday’s debacle. Go in there and give some home truths in the dressing room and kick some arse

Aye - Defoe. Johnson didn’t want him so they took the decision to sack him off the back of the Bolton game. The fact they are scrabbling around over a week later trying to bring someone in shows they didn’t have a f***ing clue what they were doing and I doubt they have now.

In terms of token gestures, deflection tactics and nice soundbites that later turn out to be total bullshit the parallels between the new regime and the Donald/Methven clown car are f***ing uncanny. :neutral:
