What did he do wrong? Ask for the security of a longer contract when short wanted him to move back up here? He had 6 months left, what would he move for 6 months?

Short knew what he was doing, he forced Keane out because he couldn’t handle someone with a spine. In hindsight that should of told us all then that the bloke was going to be a complete disaster with the odd highlight here and there.

Because of him we’ve gone full f***ing circle and ended up in the 3rd tier of English football, he then sold us to 2 cowboys who used the clubs money. We are now relying on a 25 year old owner and the man who Short forced out to get us to the championship.

Keane done nothing wrong first time round and the comparison between him and Benitez is light years apart. We clamour for him back because all them years ago he took us on a ride that was unforgettable. It’s only been close to being matched once with that league cup run.

I think to say Keane done nothing wrong first time round is incredibly naive, the reason he left probably wasn’t down to his failings but we definitely had issues towards the end of his tenure. He’s admitted as much himself and I’m confident that, if he does come back, he won’t make the same mistakes again but we shouldn’t pretend everything was perfect last time.

My take on what he (and Wrighty) said earlier is there’s been discussions but some stuff he doesn’t like the sound of I.e. the terms/length of contract or his level of control within the coach/manager/DoF set up

How the hell can anyone come to this conclusion man. It’s small talk to not give it away

I know it’s easier said than done, but the Keane stuff should be kept to a minimum tomorrow. Let’s get behind the team and then do the keano stuff at Cheltenham

Yeah. Another poster actually put the thought in my head, can’t remember who it was. I think this is why it’s being kept so quiet and why Keane was being coy.
