Not sure that's what we need now, its main reason I'm all for Paul cook who seems to have a big personality that brings people together rather than division Edited January 12, 2021 by wellbeaten-the-owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonstrix Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Here’s a Keane quote after his stint with Ipswich, which didn’t go that well. (“I don’t like ******** blue. City were blue. Rangers were blue. My biggest rivals were blue. Is that childish?”). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I cannot see many clubs wanting him as their manager The guy causes division and is a thug. Joey Barton in the same mould.and Pearson not far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to hire someone who's proved to be a terrible manager and who hasn't had a job in a decade.. I think you might be the one with the "ambition" issue. Just because you have some fantasy of Roy Keane being amazing for us, don't make it happen. He's a failed manager who can't get a job. We shouldn't hire him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because we're "not a big club" we should hire garbage, failed managers that the rest of the football world wouldnt touch with a barge pole? Great plan there buddy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not for one minute saying he didn't and I loved everything about Big Jack I'm just saying he was classed in his playing days and in his early club management days in the same categories as you mentioned Keane and Pearson in And you could say Keane brought people together as captain of Man United and Ireland as did Pearson here as Captain and as manager of Leicester the season before they won the league was a hell of an effort to stay in the league with 15 games to go which they built on to win the league sorry I wasn't trying to turn it in to an argument I was just playing devils advocate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddyowl Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'd take him above, Cook, Coleman or The Cowleys. He could have a big influence regarding loan signings which is all any incoming manager will have to work with, at least in this window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Jack Charlton was a man of his time. I am sure some of the things he used to do as manager wouldn't work these days and might have even got him the sack. But at the time they were not considered anything unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 2 hours ago, cookeh said: Got a sunderland team that was too good for the league and so was promoted. Barely stopped up and was sacked early doors the next season for 6 losses in 7. 1st full season at Ipwsich he managed to not win in the first 14 matches and finished 15th. Got sacked in January the next year with the team in a relegation fight. Not had a job as a manager in 10 years. Roy Keane is a garbage manager and anyone suggesting they'd be ok with having him in should be embarrassed. That Sunderland side lost 5 games on the bounce before Niall Quinn sacked himself & appointed Keane. Keane did a great job that year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course as a player he knew how to handle himself and very rarely lost physical battles. However as a manger he treated all equally and he would never of resorted to physical violence unlike Kean. Big Jack got great respect from his players and was an excellent diplomat for football. You could never say that about Kean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
