Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[Ger Regan]

There is no way that Keane is going to play second fiddle to Lambert, it just aint happening.
So either there is more to this, or the relationship with Lambert will be short lived.

Nonsense. He's assistant in the irish job too.

Not Nonsense, Yes to the much older more experienced and successful beloved Martin

[Rancid custard]

There's the Celtic connection too.

I hope he instills his work values onto the lads but leaves the thuggery at the door.

[johnboy]

All I have to say is welcome to Villa Roy, I hope you can pass on some of your will to win to our lot.

[achilles]

Oh dear!

Successful in scotland is it? Or do you mean the league cups in england that keane undoubtedly would hold in such high esteem?

[silhillvilla]

Roy, Welkomen .

[Gregorys Boy]

Well who would have thought that this would prove our most high profile summer signing. 

Its going to be a fun ride thats for sure, I don't see it lasting long and think it will end in tears.  I don't see him taking over from Lambert in the long term, whoever the new owner proves to be will have their own ideas and if he is really friends with Lambert I don't know if Keane would feel right taking his job.

[Steve67]

Welcome to the madhouse. I hope it works out for all concerned.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Welcome to the worlds greatest football club Roy.
I know it doesn't seem that way at the moment, but don't worry we have these occasional periods of madness, we are Aston Villa after all.

[The Left Side]

Its going to be interesting at BMH, welcome Roy.

Against Lamberts what exactly?

If you are arguing that Lambert is more successful than MON then this debate is beyond me.

Not happy, got rid of 2 bullies to replace with a bigger bully. who's a twunt to boot... anyway he is where he should have been put years ago... a mad house.

[brian green]

The club is in desperate need of a very loud wake up call. Roy Keane may be the man with the balls and the strength of character to give the club the kick up the backside it needs. Not just the players, they are by and large not good enough and that is not their fault, but the whole sense of drift, absenteeism, buck passing and doziness which has engulfed the club for the last four years must be blasted away. Villa Park is currently no place for nice guys and yes men.

[pbavfckuwait]

Well as in the old photo dark room, lets see what develops, but also agree with what others have said, that maybe one more coach is required and this one should be picked for his proven technical coaching ability and tactical awareness, as sure as hell the two we have now PL and Keano are not known for that side of the game.
But if he can wipe the could not give a shit smile of Gabbys face, when he is going through his 6 months of doing nothing and more importantly give Lambert the balls to drop the protected few, it might just work, short term anyway.
