Keane

Thinking Keane being appointed manager...does this give an incentive for someone like Marquis to stay? I’m sure footballers would love to work with ex players of someone of Keane’s quality.

Just a thought

Agreed, usually players would be delighted to have a manager who was a great player.
But Roy Keane comes across to me as someone who will criticise players in such a way that it becomes de motivational. I just don’t think he has the right man management skills to be successful.
To start with he needs to learn to smile. Don’t think I have ever seen that.
Not for me far too much of a risk and he wouldn’t come cheap would he ( not saying we should get someone on the cheap before someone has a Pop ) so may possibly be a very expensive mistake.

This is probably true. He'd instantly command the respect of the dressing room, that's for sure. It'd be up to him to keep that respect, which he didn't seem to do at Ipswich, but you'd imagine any self respecting footballer would want to learn a few things from him at first.

It's all a smokescreen, we're getting Benitez

[Draytonian III]

He was a brilliant footballer, but a very poor manager, he would be barking out orders to the players in training and on a match day, forgetting the players are 3 tier standard. Anyone who questioned him rightly or wrongly would be gone. He’s another case of a superb player being a shitte manager 

[knockers]

I think it would be an interesting, crazy ride and most enjoyable with Keane in charge.

[jamesrover17]

I would love, even if it was just one season just to see the crazy shenanigans having someone like Roy Keane in charge would be like...

From wiki 😂😂
Doncaster Rovers manager 2019 to present Roy Maurice Keane (born 10 August 1971) is an Irish football manager and former professional player. He is the joint-most successful Irish footballer of all time, having won 19 major trophies, 17 of which came at Manchester United, in his club career.[3] He served as the assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland national team from 2013 until 2018.[4]

[phil old leake]

I’d think he’d be more interested in the Newcastle job

[southwestexile]

that's what I was thinking, it's a bit like the story us getting Tevez a few seasons back

[phil old leake]

It would be a difficult decision for him Newcastle or Rovers

[Dare to dream!]

Seems more than a coincidence he left Forest a few days before the Newcastle job became available.

However the more I think about it the more I like the appointment.

[Lesonthewest]

He lives in Woodbridge in Suffolk so it would be a long commute for him.

He's done alright for himself, I'm sure he can afford an end terrace in Stainy or summat.

If he could afford it he would be with the salt of the earth with us Stainy folk.

Yeah, sorry about that.  That badly photoshopped picture of Carlos in a Rovers shirt set The Sun off running. Apologies everyone.

[MachoMadness]

Possibly the best claim to fame anyone on this forum has that, Rob.

I think it’s clear John has his heart set on a move whoever the manager is

Roy Keane appears for be the new bookies favourite at 7/4. There is obviously a bit in this?

No, no there isn't.

I thought that but after looking on Twitter there is an "ITK" who is claiming Keane is in talks with the board which is probably fuelling the low price. Hoden has said that the board are adhering to the Friday deadline.

So i now no longer think there is anything in the short price.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I would be stunned if he dropped to our level. You would not give up a good job to come here surely?

A convenient smokescreen?

He is probably going to have to take League One job to build his managerial reputation. I don't think any Champtionship club would take him.

Why would it be such a stunning appointment? Going from assistant at a mid-table Championship club to manager at an aspiring Championship club is hardly unheard of.

Even if you look at his last managerial appointment, that was at Ipswich. He failed at a bottom half Championship club, stands to reason that he might need to drop a level to get a management gig again.

[selby]

  I think Manchester United are in need of his character in their dressing room more than us at the moment, at least he would bring a couple of ego's down to earth with a bump.

[Chris Black come back]

People who will 100pc not be our manager: Evans, Hughton, Adkins, Keane.

People much more likely to be our manager: Appleton, Flynn, Grayson.

[dickos1]

Why would It 100% not be Adkins

[Chris Black come back]

He last managed in League One nine seasons ago. His last four clubs have been Blades, Reading, Hull and Southampton. When he was in Championship last season he easily kept Hull up by 22 points and won a Championship manager of the month award. He is not going to be coming to a League One play off contender.

[NewDonny]

Would you really quit a job to apply for another?

Yes, if as he says it's to fulfill a demure to be a Manager and not an Assistant Manger role, why not?

[DearneValleyRover]

Why would It 100% not be Adkins

I think it's because the general feeling is, he is partly responsible for engineering McCann's move to Hull.

Yep, another world. Anywhere I am you would see the person fulfilling their current duties and maintaining an income until they have another position sorted.
