Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[Ian.]

1. For every failing he has, the man can grow quality beards, for which he should be given a chance.

As the wearer of a similar coloured, blackish greying beard, I have to say, that's a magnificent specimen he's sporting on the photos today.

Maximum respect.

You have a beard? No, no, no. My mental picture of you won't accept a hirsute chin.

I'm like Roy Keane.

Except with significantly less hair, more flab, taller and with a worse temper.

A good beard saves many indiscretions. I grow anything more than 2 days and it goes worryingly ginger. As I am not ginger haired, this perplexes me and has me going for the razor immediately. I would love a god beard, but will sadly never have a good un. The big wire like copper eyebrows that have been springing out in the last few months are very disconcerting.

Sad, but true.

Stick with it. As you get older, you'll pass through the ginger phase and go straight to grey.

Sprouting out eyebrows, getting more bushy by the week, now thats just confirmed it you are very nearly over that hill, no turning back now.

Today is the day Father Christmas finally died.

You killed him. Probably.

[London Villan]

New manager in waiting... Can't see the link between TSM2 and roy? Werent team mates or international players... Not even in the same city. Who's choice was he?

After that your only real hair growth is in your nose.

[peter w]

Ah the old nose hair syndrome. Seeing as hair grows in certain areas to protect the body what the feck is going to happen to me that needs this unsightly growth of spider legs dangling from my nose?

[Holte Sweet]

It will be the same as Tim Sherwood at Tottenham. He will be coming out with guff to the media and upsetting everyone on the playing staff.

Still some on here think going back to 19th Century football management style will be a good thing. Sam Allardyce next ?

[edgysatsuma89]

I'm ginger but my beard is jet black.

[ciggiesnbeer]

 I was forced to by one of those nasal hair trimmer things as it was getting crazy. By curse of age or trimming the hairs are getting more and more wire like and rampant in growth as time goes by.

yeah, I totally reckon some on here really do think that's a good idea

This place is awash with people who really want us to regress to outmoded styles of football management. I've absolutely noticed that.

SHAME ON YOU ALL

Nonsense.

There's always the ears.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Nonsense.

There's always the ears.

Oh dear god no.

[Chico Hamilton III]

There was a time when my barber used to ask me if I wanted "something for the weekend" after he'd done my hair. Now he just asks if I want my nose and eyebrows doing. And he wonders why he gets no tip anymore

Anyway, Roy Keane

[dave shelley]

As I've said before, you know that you're getting old when there's more hair coming out of your nose and ears than you have on your head.

[mr underhill]

the real problem comes when the collar and cuffs don't match.

[john e]

iv'e got no idea how this will turn out, its a bit of a surprise appointment to be fair

but just the fact that he wants to join us in the situation we are in is a positive one for us,
he will make things around VP more interesting no doubt, for good or bad

his record as a manager is not great, but he will be assistant coach so we will have to see if he can improve things, I really don't know

at least we wont have the Man Utd love in from him, he really is his own man, and he don't give a shit who he upsets,
 I loved him when he said Nani should have gone in that champs league game and upset all the Man utd fans, that was pure Roy Keene at his best

I still have a problem with his premeditaded attack on another player, I view it as worse than what Suarez did, as he actually went out to cause injury to another player, rather than a reaction,

 and I felt at the time he should have been thrown out of the game for that

so I understand where people like Monty are coming from, and do feel a bit dirty for actually feeling quite good about his appointment,
 if only because it breaks up the moribund boredom that's set in at Villa Park over the last few years
