Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[adrenachrome]

We are the LamboKeanies
Happy girls and boys
In LernerLamboLimbo land
No point into trying to understand

[rob_bridge]

Well, I like him.

I predict Lambert will get the heave ho and Keane will be head coach before Christmas though. Can't see the two working together well.

It's got the Evans - Houllier look about it.

Not really. They were joint managers, weren't they?

They were - it was clear from the outset that Houllier was to replace him. Something similar appears in the offing.

I'm all for it, one thing this club needs is to get rid of the mentality of 'we go again' everytime we submit to another pathetic defeat....someone who hates losing will do for me.

If we haven't got fortunes to spend then the back room and things such as fitness & training become even more vital.

So we need a technical coach and I don't think Lambert or Keane fit that particular bill

[Walmley_Villa]

Christ - wait until he sees KEA's first powder puff tackle in training!

Seriously - hope you prove the doubters wrong Roy.

While I don't doubt like a few on here that this is destined not to end well i'm looking forward to the roller coaster ride that will be his tenure as assistant manager, hoping he can instill some bite and fight in our team, think we're just too nice sometimes

''some bite''?

[OasisVillain]

Ha, in the current climate a freudian slip there definitely think that he'll make us a littled less powder puff

[kippaxvilla2]

Welcome Royston.  I like what he says on TV.  Let's see if he can translate it to getting our bunch of ne'erdo wells working as a unit.

Apart from out and out quality, a game plan, tactics, an ability to change our approach during games, any creativity, cohesion, the ability to pass  more than three yards to a teammate, I thought the only things we lacked last season were leadership and a never say die attitude.

First signing Suarez?

Welcome Keaneyatta.

[eamonn]

21 years too late, ( wouldn't we have won a title had he chose us over Manure?) but has got to be an improvement on Culverclusterfuckhouse.

[brian green]

Regarding KEAs powder puff tackles, he only gets them in on good days. Normally he just keeps the opposition company. I can see that being changed on day one.

[PaulWinch again]

Can't be worse than Culverhouse.

[saunders_heroes]

Hopefully he'll bring a bit of steel into the dressing room.

[Des Little]

Let's hope some of the players are told a few home truths
