Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[Dave Javu]

I bet the Villa squad can't wait till Mad Roy takes the field at Bodymoor for a light training session:


















To be fair, though, Shearer did deserve it. Probably.

[Malandro]

I wonder if he's just playing for more money at celtic. He did mention money.

[Chico Hamilton III]

He also had an engine as good as any player I've ever seen.

I wonder if you're thinking of a different kind of coach to the rest of us? Flights, Premier.....

[not3bad]

At least he won't be able to complain about the coaching facilities. I imagine.

[MoetVillan]

Whoa, i forgot the Shearer thing.  My enemy's enemy is my friend.  Welcome Keane!

I am in the 'anything is better than the current shambles' camp.

[LeeB]

Bring it the fuck on, I say.

[Jon Crofts]

I am in the 'anything is better than the current shambles' camp.

Unless other fundamental changes occur, he'll just become part of the current shambles.

[hilts_coolerking]

I have to say I don't look at everything that's wrong with the club right now and think 'what we need is Roy Keane'.

True and mine was a weak answer borne out of a complete and utter lack of any expectancy and hope at this point.

I had Burt Baccarach singing in my head reading that Hilts.

Well that's odd because I had Tiny Tim in mine while I was writing it.

20 odd years too late this signing! Mind you, Townsend was a good player.

[pauliewalnuts]

I get the thing about him being able to keep his ROI job, too, but is that enough of an incentive to come here and sit on our bench, working for Lambert?

Seems very odd to me.

[QBVILLA]

Can only think Keane wants to be back involved on a daily basis. Anyway for me the management team is pretty irrelevant unless the playing staff is drastically improved. Whoever is manager/coach/ assistant manager has basically got to polish a turd.
