Keane who hasn't managed in years. Every job he has had since he's managed to fall out with everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I actually thought about it, I don't have much of a basis! Other than he did pretty well in his last stint there, probably learnt a bit working for Ireland with O'Neill, and I enjoyed his dog walking interview with Neville. I really like him as a pundit, and from what else I see of him. He definitely has his issues, and the appointment would go a clear one way or the other, little middle ground I suspect. If it's till the end of the season then re-evaluate, I think that's a very good move though. Will be proven right or wrong in time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Seems a really bizarre act to me by the owner to sack an established L1 manager in Lee Johnson with 3 months of the season to go and then to bring in a bloke who hasn’t managed in 10 years. Very knee jerk. They’ve got Donny at home on Saturday which they will win at a canter. Lee Johnson wins that game is anyone saying it’s time for a change of manager?

owls maniac Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Apparently Keane is a no go. What a total farce this has descended into. And we thought we were badly run! They could be out of the play off places by the time they get someone in at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Alex Neil is now their main target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Absolutely. Just very surprised as I know they have a young new owner who was supposed to be switched on. The Lee Johnson decision now looking totally absurd and knee jerk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit annoying, glad we don’t have to play them again though Good appointment and at a time where that new manager boost (if he gets it) could come in very useful. In saying that, if Wigan manage to win those three games in hand, and maintain solid form for the for the rest of the season, then it is pretty hard to see them not getting 2nd. What is clear is, at present, it looks like a right old scrap getting into the top 6. Edited February 11, 2022 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got this sneaky feeling Franchise FC could be the ones to watch — although Neil will be a good appointment for Sunderland, annoyingly. Not sure about Wigan based on the two games we’ve won against them, the problem with games in hand is that you have to win them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
