Roy Keane

Keane, looks to be taking some persuading, which is concerning. As is Speakman's issuing of what appears to me, to be a holding statement designed to keep others on the list from feeling they're second choice, should Keane, reject the job.

He was sacked as he took them from 7th to 16th in the space of a couple of years.

As I said earlier he managed to undo Grayson’s work in getting them to 7th.

Sadly he's as good as were likely to get if we don't go for Keane, or take a punt on someone like Terry. And it's pretty depressing. Got Norwich up via a play off, relegated, then sacked for not being in a play off place the next season. Gets Preston 7th, then 14th, then 9th, then sacked with them 16th. I know people have said it was a hard job etc but he's never built anything. To me that record suggests he's yet another bang average plodder who might get lucky (maybe a striker who happens to be a great signing etc) but overall has very little ability and couldn't give confidence that he'd get us promoted. It really has to be someone to give the fans a boost, depressing as owt if it's someone like Neil rocking up

Norwich fans think he was unfairly sacked. Club sided with the three of the six players who went clubbing after a Xmas party when they’d all been told specifically no to beforehand. The only other fans I’ve personal contact with who’ve been similarly angry were a few Watford lads when Dyche got the push. Though both clubs have punched above their weight since so both decisions werent too wrong.

There's no doubt that the club has painted themselves into a corner. Clear that Keane is the prime candidate for both the club and the fans. If they get it done - or even already have it agreed - then it doesn't matter. Failing to get it over the line will leave primarily KLD and his brother looking incredibly foolish. Speakman will be the one getting it in the neck, though.

That’s because he went out of his way to kill any momentum or feel good factor we had going into Saturdays game with that unnecessary interview. Then the pathetic performance made him look even stupider.

He was almost bragging about how long his “process” is.

You’re the only poster who has been unwavering on here so I’m hoping your info is correct.

They’ve made a monumental mess of the PR, I’d love to hear what Speakman thought he was doing with that interview. However if he is announced soon there’s time to turn it around again.
