Roy Keane has left

[supertom]

Now that Roy Keane has gone will anyone outside of the Villa even notice that we exist? Probably not. Even rival fans watching a game will be someone blinded to our players and think their side is alone on the pitch doing training exercises.

We're like Marty McFly's fading family photo in Back To The Future.

While I'm not that bothered, there was a change in Keane's touchline demeanour over the past few weeks compared to the start of the season.

In the first few games he was up off the bench and getting involved in barking orders... that all stopped within a few weeks. Was he told to calm down??

I don't think now's the time to talk about a lack of coverage. Our football's so bad, a lot of our own fans can barely tolerate watching us - why on earth would anyone who isn't a supporter want to watch us?

Strange time to leave - the day before a game. Why not get the game out of the way first? Added to that, Ireland not playing again until March.

Because he's a twat.

Or because he was told to go AND he's a twat.

I wonder if be called the current Ireland manager in when is the most disruptive time to quit a job at Aston Villa?

or has he realised that Lambert is never going to get sacked by Lerner anytime soon?

[richl]

Any truth in him having a do with Gabby?

[Villafirst]

Get Martin Laursen or Olof Mellberg in......or both!!

[PaulWinch again]

Let's face it based on the history of the last few years it's likely that whoever is his replacement is going to be a terrible appointment.

Hopefully this is Lambert getting rid of him.

Bingo

[SamTheMouse]

Lambert's not very good at picking staff, is he?

I though that when the Benteke red card head butt/face push happened against Spurs. It all kicked off right in front of Keane, and as players were rushing in he did nothing. If that had been a Man U player you wouldn't have held him back. It looked like he wasn't bothered and just didn't care.
He didn't really connect with the Villa did he.
It's all a bit ...meh
