From the outside, the only reason not to appoint Keane is if you think someone better is available and interested. Unless they've spoken to someone like Allardyce I really don't see the point in fannying around.

They might be appointing him. Contractual discussions etc can take weeks, let alone days.

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.

Fair enough, that's a bit more positive, but still a concern that, having got them into the PL, they weren't in the play off places when he left. Especially when added to the yoyoing of positions while at Preston. I know it rarely happens but I'd love to see us get someone with a track record of actually improving sides. Aye you might have a season where league position drops a couple of places, but generally coming in when they're 6th or whatever and progressing for a few seasons before leaving them 10th in the league above or something. I suppose anyone capable of that probably isn't still managing in league one mind, but that just furthers my opinion that we might as well take a gamble on someone like Terry and hope they're good, rather than going for proven mediocrity

99% of managers won’t leave the club in a higher position usually. Otherwise a non league club could just make someone manager and expect to be in the Prem within 10 seasons.
