So at which point were you expecting her to come into contact with Keane? He’s not walking about willy nilly. Not spending my day arguing with people who don’t believe me just hope when he’s announced he admits he was there on Saturday :lol:

That would make sense. Not likely to be started on a Sunday, especially if, as rumoured, it's a Dutch company doing the work. Not too sure why the stadium lights would be on otherwise. Unless he meant the lights in BCH.

If it’s a Dutch company I’m surprised they’ve started before a Union meeting has taken place.
 
Regardless of if it is Keane, it isn't gonna be announced until something stupid like friday, isn't it?
Such a joke to have 2 games with no manager when we are approaching the final stretch of games that decide how this season will go. Crazy stuff.

Theres a good chance we will.

But there’s also no reason we can’t go on a decent winning run under a new manager.

For context, under Keane in 06/07 with this number of games to go we were 9th.

Over the past 4 years the Premier League DNA that had developed over the 10 years of top flight football (started by Keane) has slowly been eroded away by those running the club. This acceptance of the fact we are playing the likes of Cheltenham and not Chelsea has gone from novelty to annoying. Bring in somebody like McCann that acceptance, League 1 mentality will continue to develop even further.

Keane needs to get in there and remind some of these f##kers who it is they are playing for, what that means and what standards are expected at a top club. Only by having somebody like Keane will ever get that DNA, mentality back in our beloved club. F##k this “respect who you are playing” “we are in this league for a reason” BS start showing these tinpot teams they can’t rock up in front of 38k fans for a piss taking day out!

I understand completely what you're saying marra, but those same tinpot teams do get results against us, do rock up to the SSOL and get a boost, do treat us like their cup final often - we might be as big as big can be but the fact is tinpot teams like Lincoln, Doncaster, Fleetwood, Accrington etc. are who we play and who consistently take points off us.

We have no divine right to beat these tinpot teams, and if Roy Keane gets that message across, gets players to stand up for themselves, to battle in the trenches, to earn the right to play football then that's fine by me. My worry is that he is so combustible, so short tempered, so not understanding of inferior quality players to those he played with in his prime, that he may provide a short term boost but will he stick with us through thick and thin. Will he be the longer term solution?

My recollection of his first stint is that whoever performed best in training got picked to play on Saturday - that may be a sound theory, keeps everyone on their toes, doesn't let complacency set in (and God knows we need a bit of that) but it doesn't lead to consistency, to sound teamwork or to cohesion (not that we have that at the minute mind).

I don't know, I'm worried about the downsides of RK, but maybe a dose of regular bollockings is what the squad needs right now, so maybe I'm wrong.
