It's hard to say. One thing is for sure he would upset a lot of people but I guess that is a question for recruitment then, get the people with the right attitudes, which if you do that then you have a group of players that will do well.
I think Keanes biggest problem would be how to apply his standards. Not every good player will respond well to be called out for a single mistake. Keane made plenty in his career, let's not pretend he was a gold plated diamond for every minute of his playing career.
I think people would be surprised that Keane isn't the only ex player that would call people out like that though. There is that story of Giggs questioning Ronaldo and pinning him to a wall. Secretly Ole will be happy because Keane is doing his dirty work for him, all he has to do is let the players know that in a way Keane is right. At least Ole doesn't have to play bad cop. I think that's where Keane would fit it. Assistant suits him more than Manager.
If you recruit a squad of 25 Yes Men, saying Yes sergeant Keane every minute, then you would have a motivated and obedient squad. See you in Championship....
