On the bust-up with a player story.  Wouldn't be anything to do with the pressure Grealish is under to play for the Republic of Ireland?  Perhaps Grealish told him to fuck off.

Roy Keane, file under Peter Schmeichel.

Great idea, that's bound to work, both ex Villa players. Hopefully that would be the thing that persuades Curbishley to finally accept a job.

Just a sideshow.

Burnley is the main event.

I hope it was Bent he had the set-to with, at least then something good might have come from all this.

Maybe there's a black Friday sale on that Keane simply couldn't miss?

Well it wasn't. Benty has been on Sky Sports. Didnt have any problems with Keane.

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

Nor picking teams. Or tactics

He's a chancer.   Sooner he goes the better.

I'm yet to be convinced by Tom Fox, but he must be wandering what the hell he's walked into here

I don't get comments like this, I really don't. What are you waiting to be convinced about?

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??

As someone who sits just a few rows behind the home dugout, I agree that it has been noticeable how much less demonstrative Keane has been recently

If we never hear from Tom Fox at all but things improve on the commercial side, attendances go up and we start winning matches that will be fine by me. The CEO is not meant to be high profile at a football club in my opinion.

I am surprised he lasted as long as he did to be honest.Working alongside such a clueless idiot could not have been easy for the sort of character Keane is

I knew Keane was prone to explode in rage, but I didn't realise he could go nuclear ;D

It's all a bit ...meh

Indeed. Exactly what I thought when I read Chico's initial post. The only positive I can come up with right now is Randy may now be more encouraged to sack Lambert knowing that he doesn't have to pay Keane off too.
