Next manager

He had a very good debut season at Sunderland. That's it. It's been over 13 years since he's managed at any level. It's been almost 5 years since he was an assistant manager. Neil Lennon and Chris Coleman look like Pep Guardiola all of a sudden. Take me back, Jeff.   He failed at Ipswich and did well at Sunderland.  Got them promoted as champions and then kept them up and resigned the next year.   Brutal at Ipswich.

Keane brought in 19 players at Sunderland over the next 2 windows after getting promoted. Many of them were poor signings. He didn't win 2 games in a row until late March 2008. -23 GD as well. It was not a good season and his luck ran out when he left in December 2008 after bringing in another 10 players during the summer 2008 window. And even if you wanted to argue that Keane did well at Sunderland, the 2007/2008 was 16 years ago. As I said he is not as good as his fans or as bad as his harshest critics.   I am not going to argue for him when I think he has done ok and that’s about it.     Anyway the whole thing is a bit of craic and will keep us entertained anyway.

If Irish fans are happy with Keane as manager we deserve absolutely everything that we get, have people learned nothing? Do people actually watch football or come on here to type nonsense - "X factor" what the f*ck is that? We need someone who is tactically aware and knows that its 2024 football-wise, we need a coach who can make on the spot decisions during a match to change things as he sees a game changing in front of his eyes. We need someone with attention to detail to make the absolute most out the little time he has with the players - shape, set pieces etc.

People on here are too quick to jump on points of view on situations! A point of view of what roy could bring to the table and suddenly you are cheerleader w**king into your socks over the thought of it. That is not the case at all ffs.
