Its inevitable its gonna happen.

Keane hasnt got a choice has he? Out of management for a long time, gonna be tough to get back in unless he takes this and makes a success of it.

That to one side its a well suited match for both sides.

The kids today (either side) will likely be excited to play in front of a footballing legend. Not sure his intimidating stance carries through the same as it did first time round. Changed world. Opposition just as likely to play their ‘cup final’. Great stadium has been enough so far. Add in Roy Keane and JD and equal impact both ways!
We have the talent. Perhaps we just need a quite (perhaps boring) master craftsman to bring it out!

We not have Keane for big men with fork tongue speak of future. Keane want white man gold.. Little Swiss make big plan so not worry

I did my second coaching qual with Ronnie Jepson. Cracking lad. Course ran by Steve Holland.
Did the next one on the ladder with Garth Crooks. What a twat. Used to start every routine with ‘when I played for England’. At the start we were excited to see him. At the end he was eating lunch on his own. Day dreaming about playing for England.

Much closer than Keane's last achievement though. I just feel Keane is being appointed purely because some of the fans want him, and not actually because he is the right man for the job. I'd love to be proved wrong mind

Honestly, at this level I think there's a lot to be said for momentum and charisma. You're not exactly matching wits with the finest tactical minds in the game down here. In an ideal world, I would have liked us to look abroad for an innovative coach in the mould of Frank or Farke, but since that doesn't seem to be the route we're going down, I'd take Keane all day over the other names being thrown about. It's about time we started acting like a club that doesn't belong at this level and had a manager and players who genuinely believed that too.

Keane is pure box office. This club works best with the big characters as a focal point. Your Reids, Allardyces and Keanes work better than your Graysons, Johnsons and Parkinsons. Back in the premier league within 4 years.

Its what I spent most of the summer arguing. The clubs failure to get promoted can be cast as the metaphor of spinning plates and most league one sides only need to get 2 or 3 plates spinning to have a chance of promotion, but Sunderland and one or two other clubs like Ipswich have a half dozen or more plates spinning all at once and need the biggest of personalities or a bloody genius to keep everything moving forwards at the same time.

Keane is a spent force and why some see him as not the right option. To me I see a man who just needs to see how big a challenge is and he relishes a challenge and that spent force can quickly rebound back into a leader of men again.
