I was in Waterstones the other day and looked at the Keane book.
I looked up the references to Villa - there weren't many. One of them said that he was happy to get the chance to work in coaching in the top flight, alongside Lambert and at "a club I have always had a soft spot for".
I'd be inclined to take him at his word.
This is not aimed at anyone in particular, but I find the whole "he's just using us as an easy ride / low commitment route into the game / something else implying he's not arsed" to be not only totally at odds with what we've seen of Keane in the past in terms of commitment, but also a bit small time on our part.
It all sounds a bit "he doesn't love us, we're too small for him to do that, he'll just leave us to go somewhere better as soon as he gets the chance" for my liking.
Like I said, I wasn't a huge fan of the appointment, but I really don't see the point in pulling apart the bloke's attachment or devotion to the job.
