No but you can't really compare the motivational charisma of Neil to Keane😁. He wasn't perfect here and need ed to go but, he has is by far the better motivator than this chess player, surely. The Keane then had developed and learned from experience.

Do we know it's motivational charisma or just pure ol' naked fear?! It did work. But sadly for him – and SAFC and for the Binners – for a little under a season.

Are we saying that he's developed and learned from experience? Keane? I doubt we shall ever know now. I'll stick my neck out and say he'll never be a HC or manager again. Still, we stroked his considerable ego for a couple of weeks.

PS Full disclosure, I never liked him as a person when he was a player – and he was a really great player, my (ex-) wife adored him which didn't enamour me to him either... and then when he became Sunderland manager? Well, I readily admit that I developed a bit of a man crush on him :lol: . I got it. I saw what others saw. I hung on his every utterance. I was at Kenilworth Road in the away that day that we won the title and it was up there with the best experiences I've had as a Sunderland fan. Sadly, that very much was to prove the apogee of the Roy Keane Management Experience.

When was the last time we had a manager of which all of his previous clubs' fans (and people in the media) have nothing but praise for him?

Premier League manager not too long ago. Good appointment if we get him imo.

Perhaps more attention should be paid to the job he did at Hamilton too. Could have only been in his early 30’s but he did incredible work there. PNE didn’t quite work out in the end, but he strikes me as a manager on the up with a future ahead of him.

I’d also add this is a very brave move for him as we are a complete basket case of a club, owners with everything to prove and higher profile, more experienced manager’s have been chewed up and spat out here in recent times.
 
Think the KLD factor is big in all this. If he wasn't here I think more people would be seriously ticked off to apoplectic about this.
Still has an air of new regime about it - if that's the plan, its evil genius by maddrox

What about it?

It’s funny how until today he had maybe one or two poster saying he would be good, now there are quite a few. Some will put up with anything the club gives them.

What about it? you‘re dismissing his achievements in Scotland as irrelevant simply because he was a massive success at Hamilton and that doesn’t suit your agenda. What a pathetic argument you’re putting up.

:lol:

He hasn’t even been officially appointed yet and you’re pissing your pants! At least give him 3 games, ffs!

He’s a poor appointment: we should just skip the bit where we pretend he might not be and cut to the chase. Suppose he may only get three months unlike Parky, Grayson etc.

That is the type of standards we need. Look at the players turning up the other day, looking Raggy in dribs and drabs in there tracksuits playing on there phones. Keane would have them staying in hotel before the game, turning up together in club suits. The whole club is ran like a Sunday league team.

We are Sunderland, we shouldn’t be celebrating winning in league 1 or the championship, that is the attitude we need.

Sorry, given your username, I think you need to realise we are in 2022, not 1982.

You'll see players in tracksuits and on phones heading into the Etihad, Bernabeu, Allianz Arena... it's a 21st Century football club, not National Service.
