I don´t really see how you can argue that someone with that little managerial experience can be a "world class manager". Still, I look forward to forthcoming results
personally i think its the wrong move. Yes he was an unreal player and a natural born winner but he's not even a manager let alone a proven manager! i think he will get the players going and get rid of anyone who's shit (2/3's of the fucking team). we can only wait and see i suppose
News reports were saying Brian Kidd will be his number 2 so I reckon it sounds a pretty good coaching partership.
from nufc.com English club, Irish arse After receiving rejections from Bono, The Pope, Val Doonican and Martin McGuinness, Niall Quinn looks to have secured the services of Roy Keane as his new head of excuses. What else could we do than remind you of Roy's own words of wisdom, beginning of course with his golden nugget which now has an extra resonance: "Shearer's right, I am a prick." (Extract from Keane: the autobiography, referring to Keane's red card at SJP in 2001 when goaded by Big Al and biting, big style) Moving on, things haven't always been all sweetness and (stadium of) light between Keane and his potential new Chairman: "And Niall Quinn. Who is he, Mother Theresa?" (Extract from Keane interview from 2002) 'For Quinn and Staunton to sit in that press conference (pictured) 'I mean, I know they have to back Mick but, even if it was a day later. But not 15 minutes. I'm thinking what planet are you on? Players should stick together.' "To tell you the truth, I can live with what Mick had to say, but I was more hurt by the players. Steve Staunton sitting there, I could not believe. I'd never heard anything like it in my life.' (From the Observer) Let's not forget Roy's message to former mackem boss Mick McCarthy: "Mick, you're a liar... you're a f*cking w*nker. I didn't rate you as a player, I don't rate you as a manager, and I don't rate you as a person. You're a f*cking w*nker and you can stick your World Cup up your arse. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are the manager of my country! You can stick it up your b*llocks." (From the Observer) (this all stems from Keane's departure from the Irish World Cup squad in 2002, amid wrangles over training and what he deemed amateurish preparations) If Keane is appointed as seems likely, we look forward with great interest to November 25th, when he'll take his misfits XI to Molineux for a face-off with McCarthy: It promises to be an interesting few hours, if his response to questions about whether he'd encountered McCarthy since their fall out are anything to go by: "Nah. And I hope I don't. I'd tell him where to go. I wouldn't go out of my way to, but if he was passing, like." And as for sitting down and having a drink with him? "Not in a million years. I hope I don't come across as bitter and twisted but that man can rot in hell for all I care. I don't feel any guilt about saying that at all because he deserves it. He deserves it. F*ck him. F*cking tosser." (Both from the Observer)
