The club (as a whole in a generic way) are quite possibly scared of Roy Keane’s personality and the prospect of having to deal with an individual who has operated in the elite level of the football world after a series of lower league yes men who were never going to really question anything.

Keane will want to do things his way as simply and professionally as possible and will not be succumbing to guff like Brent-isms, projects, excessive data, bomb alleys or POMO’s.

After a series of uninspiring, cheap out of work yes men managing the club, culminating in the recent ridiculous scenario of Dumb and Dumber in charge of the last two matches and looking scared shitless at having been asked to do so, the immediate appointment of Keano is now the clubs only option it would seem. No one knows how it’ll go but after all the recent drivel we have had to endure, surely it can only be a positive?

We live in an age of data to make minute improvements and the artistry of managing from the touch line is dwindling away to a certain extent. Is Keane a dinosaur and should be left if then past?

Data is only information. Too many people try to dress things up these days to make their own position seem important. Our current plight suggests that ours isn’t working too well. Let’s keep everything simple.

Speakman and his poaching from a struggling championship club in an academy position with his 2:1 Business degree from the University of Derby has impressed no one of late with his various actions, and lack of them as far as appointing a manager goes.

Shambolic.

Data is no doubt increasingly important but we mustn't be very good at using it. And perhaps Keane also recognises its value and will use it better? Or rightly recognise that it's just one factor and there are fundamentals we need to get right before tinkering with the data. It's lazy to assume he's stuck in the past.
