How will his comments gel with Lamberts? After a dull 3-0 defeat we get the usual '' I thought we we're fantastic, I really did'', Keane's more likely to come out with a shotgun looking for a fight.
I'd love to see them being interviewed post match at the same time.

I'd rather hear Keane's honesty.

Loads of people comparing Culverhouse and Keane's approach, but I think the difference is Keane's standing is a lot higher, while Culverhouse was in comparison pretty nondescript.  If I was a young player and Roy Keane offered me some advice, I'd shut up and listen.

I've been told he's agreed terms. Hope it's false information.
I hope your right. This can only be a good and positive move.

This Culverhouse/Keane comparison. Wasn't Culverhouse supposed to be bullying dinner ladies etc? At least Keane (I think) sticks to bullying grown men.

How does one bully a dinner lady?  "Give me some more mung bean salad or I'll rip your tabard!"

It could be argued we need this sort of passion.

I don't think Roy Keane is a bully as such, just a nutjob who would take anyone on because he feels that way inclined. I can imagine him head butting a JCB.

I just can't see this ending well. Something will kick off at some stage early on in the season.

I like it. A bit of charisma, top level experience and all sitting behind a proper manager. Sounds like a good move for us IMO.

Edit: Not that i rate Lambert, but we are where we are in that respect. I just think that Keane can only help that particular situation.

Yeah he was real brave knobbling players on the pitch. Don't remember him having a straightner with Hangelaand off the pitch. I've had no respect for Keane since then.

Aye. One of the biggest loons i've ever known was a little fella. But fuck me he was hard. And a bit mental. Great bloke and a good mate, but not one to piss off. Never started a fight, ended pretty much all of them though.
