Roy Keane

[Thatheaderman]

Do you look like Agbonlahor?

My point is that if another manager with the same record as Keane was being suggested nobody on here would want them as they don't have stats to suggest they'd be able to get us out the league with 17 games left.

We were bottom after we started with 4 straight defeats, and this after a 15 point relegation. He won the title that year

Then kept us up despite our previous two seasons on the top flight mustering 34 point’s combined

Sounding less likely with every passing hour.

Nothing he says there is really a negative from how I read it. Sunderland aren’t going to literally interview one person…a) it’s illegal and b) it’ll give Keane the impression he can push/ask for more than if he were a number of candidates.

One thing I would say, if Keane is serious about getting back into manage as he’s mentioned, this will be his last opportunity at a “real” football club. If he doesn’t take it, he’s done in management imo.

I’d like to think he’s announced before weekend and I’m confident he will be.

McCann in to 3/1, Keane 4/6

Just because someone done it for us over 10 years ago, and hasn't been in charge of a club for over 10 years doesn't mean they'll suddenly be able to do it again.

How many years had he been out of management before the last time he managed us?

 

[Dredd]

McCann in 3/1

Ffs I don't want him

 

[Useful_Idiot]

How do you prove who can?

I'd start by looking at someone who has had success in this decade.

McCann in to 3/1, Keane 4/6

I think that’s out I’m sure McCann was 2/1 and Keane evens a couple of hours ago.

Just seen him jogging with his dog in Barnes Park.

Had his headphones in so didn't want to bother him.

Yeah, he did brilliantly and I'll always love him for that. But if some other manager had a similar record and then had been out of work for as long, would anyone ever consider them for this job?

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Ffs I don't want him

he['s out from 2/1 mate

 

[horselover]

Ffs I don't want him

me neither

Calm before the storm.

Yeah but you're implying he won't succeed without any real proof. Who knows who will?
Fact is, he will give the vast majority of supporters a massive lift and at the perfect time.

No news is good news imo...we know what we know and nothing has come out since to counteract that.

But it’s not “some other manager” so that point is irrelevant.

None of the other candidates look great on paper either. You may be in the camp that assumes because McCann got promoted last season that guarantees he would this season, it doesn’t. He’s awful as evidenced by the hull fans dislike of him.

 

[Useful_Idiot]

That's not really my point, pretend it's not Keane and just another manager that had a similar record with a different club. Would we be considering them for our last ditch promotion push?

 

[Vauxie]

Will happen
