Roy Keane has left

[papa lazarou]

Just a few words from a passionate ex-player could be the turning point.
It has been mentioned previously that it could all get very ugly soon.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Collymore is quite good at quickly getting to the heart of the matter.

Talking to a manure fan earlier who just said "typical Keane". Sums it up really! We are not the problem.

We are Simon, We are

Well certain individuals are. Lambert's hidden behind nebulous clichéd excuses for too long and doubtless there will be another excuse/whitewash for the Keane departure. Time for everyone to turn up the heat to Chernobyl levels

Good article by Stan, but surely number 1 should be, is the club still up for sale ?

Lambert mumbled in his pre match interview something along the lines of nothing has changed.
But, how does that tie in with stories of Lerner getting his mojo back?

Seems no-one knows what the frig is going on !

Is the OS really playing up for anyone else or just me?

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.

I think the timing is key.  I have just seen him coming out of Currys in Town with a 50 inch smart TV.

Hopefully this is Lambert getting rid of him.

UTV

This, I would doubt, seriously.

And why do you always make a reference to the Northern Ireland television franchise at the end of your posts? :-)

It was - or is it any closer to being sold.
Well said Stan, but as said earlier don;t think he'll be getting a warm welcome by the VP hierarchy after this!!

That's my point, Stan asks if it's any closer to being sold, but if Lerner has taken it off the market, then obviously it's no closer.

Still up for sale or not?  that's what I'd like to know.

We desperately need some coaching ability in the backroom staff - Steve Clarke for me

[kippaxvilla2]

It will be Alfie Conn and Billy Stark.

'Keane came to the decision after admitting that fully committing to both jobs and making the necessary time for his family was proving impossible.

He said: “Ultimately, my roles with Villa and Ireland and combining my commitment to these have become too much,” '

We are not successful and show no signs of attaining success. That is why he left.

Also Ireland have 2 games in 10 months

Hmm interesting.

The dreaded vote of confidence?

The club’s chief executive Tom Fox said: “We thank Roy for his time at the club and we wish him the best with Ireland.

“Our focus now will be on working with Paul to identify the right person to work alongside him and to help us continue on our journey to return the club to its rightful place in the Premier League.”
