That makes zero sense. Why sign the contract but not announce it? :lol:

Especially as it would put an extra 50,000 on the gate on Saturday with a longer waiting list that to get into Sid James' according to them lot.

Joking aside mind, you annouce it tomorrow, if it is done, and they'd have to open up the Premier Concourse
 
IF, IF It’s true, about wanting assurances.
I honestly think KLD might show just how ruthless he can be next week.

The lad has more than proven he’s not just here for the odd match. He wants us to succeed.

This. The only way it would make sense would be if we were at home on Tuesday. Defoe coming gives a big boost to the crowd for Saturday, then they announce Keane and everyone wants to be there on Tuesday. As it is we're away on tuesday, then away on Saturday, with the next home game being the 19th. It would make zero sense not to announce it and get the place rocking, even if you announce it but say he'll watch from the stands and officially take over on Sunday.

He got the club he was already at (relegated) then promoted at the first attempt. Pretty much the same, settled squad of players that played in the championship the previous season. A very different challenge to the one the new manager would face here.

We need somebody who you can guarantee won’t be phased or overawed by the weight of expectation. Is that man Grant McCann? Not for me? Keane on the other hand will relish it. If this was the grand National Roy has the course and distance next to his name. He’s just been off the track for a little while!

It's a Hail Mary, and those are fun. I'll be excited if we do get him honestly.

But it is a total wing and a prayer one in a million shot. That's all I'm saying. I don't think there's an argument for it beyond basically rubbing the lamp and hoping a genie comes out.

But it's the most fun option definitely.

Why are people on at McGeady?! He literally says he thinks it would be a big boost to the fans. I know we love Keane, but lets not start turning against players that HAVE generally performed for us at this level

He was perfectly polite and none committal on Sky. He gave no indication whatsoever that he had an opinion on RK

With all due respect, when you look at Liverpool, Man City, Spain (peak years) etc that really couldn't be further from the truth.

These teams have helped elevate football to new levels, I'm not sure how anyone could use "keeping it simple" when describing any of the above.

The simple fact is mate, football management has moved beyond banging walls and battle cries to get players going pre match.

Neill Lennon was slated by the Celtic players for how out of touch he was with modern football and coaching techniques.

Modern footballers want to be challenged constantly, they want to be tested and push themselves to limits maybe no-one thought possible.

This is absolute bollick's IMHO football hasn't changed - strong spine, speed out wide, left footer on the left, big centre half and keeper, make opposition defenders constantly make decisions under pressure etc.. - what has changed is the mentality of football players and a lot of them being snowflakes stuck in a bubble
