Not Roy Keane

[box2box]

i said that from day one..he wont work with a DOF because his era didnt really have them...

In keanes interview with Gary Neville he cites recruitment as one of his main success points at Sunderland. The owners could have addressed this about 2 weeks ago with Keane and concluded he wasn’t an option .

 

[Zak's Dad]

Could this be because we’ve wasted two games and ruined automatics?

Useless *****

In previous interviews he's actually said that he would manage us "in the conference" if asked.

I don't think those performances would have affected him.

IF he's turned us down it'll be for other reasons.

The itk’s have played a blinder here mind. Genuinely wrong every single step of the way

No surprises

My sources suggest that it all fell apart in the 4th interview when Methven asked Keane to "sell me this pen".

If you were an animal what animal would you be ? Roy then puts the nut on the **** !!

 

[The Freshest Kid]

This club just go from one crisis to another. We’re an absolute laughing stock and have been for the best part of a decade.

 

[Gronkowski]

With Donald & Salmon pants still running the show we couldn't afford him anyway

 

[Durham lad]

If true...will be lucky to get 15k in for MK Dons

Tin hat on but good.

Not fussed mate? I think Keane would have galvanised the fans, but there are questions around his management style. I don't know who I want really, but names like Neil, Lennon and McCann don't excite me at all.

 

[Mackemjmc]

dear me. What a mess.

Saw this coming from the start. Strung along by the club all along. Due diligence my arse-if they were going to give him the job he would have had it a week ago.

 

[penno13]

I hope we find out why, the bastards

 

[Arfa Sleep]

The club wouldn’t pay what it would of cost for his back room staff , been the hold up since last week

Where's this from?

 

[Roker Mackem]

Tin hat on but good.

In all seriousness he wouldnt have been a good fit bar a short sharp shock which may not have been able to get us over the line anyway

i said during the week..there is no doubt roy keane can earn £1m a year from TV work after dinner speaking and commercial deals he does....and league one managers dont get [paid anything like that..so it was always going to be a challenge for him to accept it

Nothing to do with money ffs. He's not an idiot - he knows what League One managers get paid and if he was money-driven, he wouldn't even have shown an interest.

This is all down to the glorified organiser of youth-team parents' evenings Speakman, protecting his corrosive little "philosophy" and not wanting to be challenged by someone with actual football experience.

 

[ego-maniac]

Obvious outcome was obvious

 

[Hugh Gains]

I’m raging we didn’t get him.

He’s interviewed and expressed interest.

It’s not good enough.

I guess they'd have to establish how he could possibly be able to manage the two, managing a club whilst being able to fulfil some of his media commitments.

 

[Mackem00]

Imagine being the poor fucker who gets the job now. Won't stand a chance from the off.

This is tedious.

I bow to nobody in my dislike of those utter *****, but they aren't driving this.

The truth is worse: it's Speakman and KLD. And we won't be as rid of them as easily.

He was offered it and turned it down according to The Athletic piece.
