Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[LeeB]

A genuine winner at VP?  What are they thinking? Complacent mediocrity rules.

A genuine winner as a player yes, as a manager/coach? not so sure.

I guess we'll see. He wouldn't be the first to struggle then find his feet later.

See Diego Simeone.

[Ross]

He'll shake that shambles of last season up though. Quite a bold move from PL to bring in someone higher profile than himself who is still ambitious. I'm actually quite happy with this. Better than a Glenn Roeder type appointment.

I've always imagined those sat right near the dug out all live in Walmley, vote Tory and read the Daily Mail.

Most of those of us in A3 upper Trinity don't vote at all. We can't, we're all Lords.

We certainly are in A5. We get out of the bath for a piss we're that posh.

Like others I'm sure have already said

You hate Roy Keane when he's against you, but if he's on our side, I reckon we could get to like him, and hopefully he'll do so well every other fucker will hate him even more

[Phil from the upper holte]

Did anyone see him on sky sports news earlier growling at a reporter then storming off down the road? Mad man

[The Adventurer]

A 'orrible,odious,obnoxious prick!

And Roy Keane is even worse.

2 complete tools as manager & assistant. I've renewed my S/T's but you're really testing my resolve Villa!

PLEASE someone just buy us & put us out of our misery!

[Hoppo]

Keane is a winner full stop. Out of interest, to fans who don't want Keane who do you want?

Nah I reckon,Moseley, vote Labour,read The Guardian,wealthy, former grammar school boy ladder puller uppers. They know what's best for everyone !

[garyshawsknee]

I quite like him as a pundit, mainly because he always looks like he wants to do Chiles over. I think as a coach he would demand the players respect and they would fear and look up to him at the same time, but i don't think he's anywhere near the tactical man we so desperately need..but i tend to think this is all paper bs anyway.

I'll do it if the only other option is Keane. I am slightly more well balanced and have never purposefully destroyed anybody's career.

We certainly do.

Smacks of desperation to me, but that's where we are, desperate

Sometimes desperate measures work out, like when Robson threw on Platt in the 1990 world cup,
At least it's a proactive move, no idea if it will work out but you never know

Christ almighty, do we now have to go through this rigmarole for assistant managers too?

I think it's a bit of a mix of desperate , random and bizarre. A bit like going up town on a Monday night and getting lashed up.
