Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[kiddylion]

Bring him in,he's a born winner

[Phil from the upper holte]

I was slating him today in the pub. I should keep my gob shut, we signed Harewood last time I slated someone

[Witton Warrior]

I'd take that.

He's someone who perhaps will do better as a coach rather than manager I suspect.

He's a psycho. Don't want him anywhere near the club.

He's definitely not the most stable of individuals, and I definitely don't want him associated with the club in any way, shape or form.

After reading his biography I would not want to be in the same time-zone let alone stadium as him!
Man on the edge, dangerous individual etc...

[Chris Jameson]

I like Roy Keane. He might kill Adrian Chiles.

IF we are going to keep Lambert, then we should bring in (within reason) whoever he wants, to give him the best support possible. However, I'd rather get rid of him and, I suspect, so would any potential new owner. So it would seem pretty unlikely we'd add a new member of staff, purely to support Lambert, then have to pay him off if a new owner arrives. If we did appoint him, it would suggest to me that change of ownership is still miles away from being agreed and that Lerner has, perhaps resignedly, began to look forward to next season.

As a player.

Thanks but no thanks. Thirty years ago maybe; but not in this pampered era.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I do not know much about him as a coach.

But the immediate negatives are:

1.) More British/Irish coaches. I want to see Villa playing a possession game with modern tactics. This is rare in British/Irish coaches. As far as I know he does not have a reputation for it.

2.) ManU connection.

3.) Even more old firm connections with our club. Homestly both teams are crap and play crap football, I dont want that for Villa.

Positives are

1.) Takes no shit.

2.) Bad mouthed Ferguson.


err thats it.

[Lucky Eddie]

Having just read Chris Jamesons post I'd like to do a u turn of Unsworth proportions and hire Roy immediately x

[PaulWinch again]

No thanks.

[saunders_heroes]

Can't see Keane coming here for the short term so if it happens it must mean we're to be stuck with Lambert into next season. Not sure what to make of that. I want Lambert out, but perhaps any new owner may give him a season in charge to see what he can do with some real investment.

[Yossarian]

No difference between him and Ally Brown.

Winner? You should ask Sunderland and Ipswich fans. Great player useless manager no coach.

[Steve67]

The players need a good kick up the arse, perhaps not literally! Not sure on this one.  It's probably bull anyway. The Mirror ffs!!!
