Roy Keane

If we have the best squad in the league and we are not running away with it then the problem must be our mentality.

A winning mentality is what Keane can offer most, if the right choices are made regarding backroom staff then improved coaching will help as well.

If we did hire Keane, imagine being in the room when he starts reviewing our recent games and analysing the video with the players.

Amazing how all the anti Keane posters know exactly what he won't do...the guy has been interviewed numerous times and talked about what he has learned over the years and will work with but they know better.

I presume all of this will covered in any interview/discussion with KLD so we will get to see exactly what he will and won't work with rather than what is told as gospel on here.

I respect all views and whilst I and the vast majority of my mates would love to see Keane back a couple are a little cautious, however you only have to look at the general reaction on this thread and consider the alternatives of McCann, Neil & Warnock to see Keane coming back as a positive imo.

As I have said before the one thing that both Keane and Defoe will bring to the club is another level of professionalism and standards which none of these players will have seen before.

FFS we are talking about basically swapping AOB and LJ for Defoe and Keane!

If I was in the dressing room I would be chomping at the bit to impress them and walking 10 foot taller.

This can only benefit SAFC in my eyes and let's hope it happens.

We’ve been the biggest club in this league for four years now and look where it’s got us?

Having a ‘buzzing’ club doesn’t guarantee anything in this league. If that was the case why didn’t we just employ Keane at the start of the season and we’d be as good as promoted by now?

Of course it doesn’t guarantee anything but this is a short term need when a lift is the most important thing. I see you’re avoiding answering who would do a better job for the remainder of the season.

It’s fuckinh nuts people would prefer some shit ex player from the lower leagues turned manager than Roy Keane man ffs give your head a shake

If that player has had success at this level or higher before, then yes i would prefer them. Keane is a massive risk. If he hadn't have managed sunderland previously and had simply been out of the game for 15 years, no one would be clamouring for him. It's the equivalent of Charlton going back in for Curbishley, it's a huge gamble. I like Keane, but i'd genuinely rather someone like Neil who has achieved something recently in management.

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!

Nah - its not as if boring has worked for us is it!
