Half the time he is clearly on the wind up.
Sorry but Roy Keane talking about man management and not sacking himself "I wouldnt have let it get to that" is laughable. The man is a failure as a manager, lets not beat around the bush. Its beyond clear from that interview section that Roy in hindsight has accepted he was cooked, but Roy at the time couldn't. Talking to certain players and staff in the way he did, you can't do that.
Can't start a new thread cause of my posting privileges, but a 3 hour interview himself and Neville gave to Off The Ball is causing a big stir in Ireland today, paticularly about his comments about Jon Walters, but this bit is fascinating.
RightoAs I said, as a player I respect everything he's done for the club. However, he acts like an absolute dick when he doesnt need to.
Actually he made an extremely valid point. At approx 14:00 mins he asks Keane,Neville comes across like an idiot. He cuts off the host apparently to make an important point, then just spends 10 minutes mumbling and adding nothing of value,
Nailed it...and attacking Ferguson's family is hardly necessary.He's a fecking parody these days. He loves the attention he gets for being "no nonsense Roy" but at the end of the day that's been a big part of why his management and coaching career has been a failure. He's a very incomplete and underdeveloped personality.
I loved him as a player for both united and Ireland but it's very hard to feel any warmth towards him these days. By all accounts he's an intelligent man who should have had a lot more to offer the game. But he seems intent on being the bitter old man that gets wheeled out whenever some podcast wants a bit of cheap publicity. It strikes me as a huge waste.
Ive been having the same thoughts recently.You need to sort out the match day threads and bring back out the Gods VR
'Is Roy Keane alive to you?' & 'Got any Roy Keane recipes?' are my favourites.My feelings are they're too many bloody threads about him on the go.
Both excellent.'Is Roy Keane alive to you?' & 'Got any Roy Keane recipes?' are my favourites.
I also recommend "Roy Keane - no longer at it (again)" and "Who's to be blamed for Brexit - Roy Keane or Gaz Nev?".
What is wrong with being an ordinary Joe? We all pee and shite and turn to dust eventually!I find most ex players a bit dickish I really don’t know why. Keane and Neville are no different.
Eric is the exception. He was different as a player and is different as a man. Many of them are just ordinary Joe who happen to be good with a ball.
Most of them are rich anyway, hardly average Joe's HAWhat is wrong with being an ordinary Joe? We all pee and shite and turn to dust eventually!
yeah but between the shitter and the grave it’s nice to be a bit different eh?What is wrong with being an ordinary Joe? We all pee and shite and turn to dust eventually!
CheersInterview with him where talks he about coaching,his books,management and punditry.
They will just keep on coming, every few months.....My feelings are they're too many bloody threads about him on the go.
Right, but neither would stand a chance against a team comprised of Justice League heroes.Legend. Was right about United, was right about Saipan and players are hopeless pussies compared to what he is. A team of Manes would be destroyed by a team of Keanes.
Not 100% true.Sorry but Roy Keane talking about man management and not sacking himself "I wouldnt have let it get to that" is laughable.

Sorry, Andreas has better second phase of play stats. Not good enough "currently".Keane is the type of player that we need currently.
I'd wager, if SAF was starting his managerial career now, he wouldn't have become SAF, he'd just be AF, and out of a job just as quickly as Keane.Sorry but Roy Keane talking about man management and not sacking himself "I wouldnt have let it get to that" is laughable.
