Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[Chris Stares]

Sums up my feelings perfectly, John.

iv'e got no idea how this will turn out, its a bit of a surprise appointment to be fair

but just the fact that he wants to join us in the situation we are in is a positive one for us,
he will make things around VP more interesting no doubt, for good or bad

his record as a manager is not great, but he will be assistant coach so we will have to see if he can improve things, I really don't know

at least we wont have the Man Utd love in from him, he really is his own man, and he don't give a shit who he upsets,
 I loved him when he said Nani should have gone in that champs league game and upset all the Man utd fans, that was pure Roy Keene at his best

I still have a problem with his premeditaded attack on another player, I view it as worse than what Suarez did, as he actually went out to cause injury to another player, rather than a reaction,

 and I felt at the time he should have been thrown out of the game for that

so I understand where people like Monty are coming from, and do feel a bit dirty for actually feeling quite good about his appointment,
 if only because it breaks up the moribund boredom that's set in at Villa Park over the last few years

Excellent poll options, whoever did that.

[Lucky Eddie]

Having been against this appointment from the outset I have to admit that I've changed my mind.

Welcome Roy, I'm looking forward to your honesty. Something tells me that it's not just the players that are going to hear some home truths.

So what did the reporter say?

"Good morning Roy"
Think bubble for Roy "is it now? How about you go fuck yourself"

[supertom]

Loving Keanes reaction there. Ha ha. I imagine it left the cameraman in need of a change of underwear.

[eamonn]

When is that clip from?

[hilts_coolerking]

I really wonder about people who go through life being aggressive, confrontational, surly and utterly disinterested in other people's feelings.  It can't make them happy, surely?

I also wonder what his dog is called: Tyson, Genghis, Attila, Vlad.  or Muscat.

I'm looking forward to him being in the dugout he will bring passion and experience so that's got to be a good thing.

That really is a classic. 'What?' 'Oh for fuck sake' moments.

Those hecklers behind the dug out are going to be brickin' it this season.

Those hecklers behind the dug out are going to be brickin' it this season.

I'm sure there will be a few brave souls that will try and get a smile out of him...

Ha ha yeah, the old daily mail brigade will be sat on their hands all season.

im thrilled with the appointment. Keano has an opinion and some of our stars are going to get their feathers ruffled.

we are in for some interesting times.

Great appointment.

Great post John e and exactly how I feel about this appointment.
