Will Keane Succeed at Sunderland?

[danbo]

An interesting character to be sure, but does he have what it takes to manage others - No doubt he'll be okay at dishing out a telling-off, but how about putting an arm around the shoulder and encouraging? Personally I hope he does succeed - I'd love to see him in the premiership up against Mourhino and the other superstars.

[cantona]

Yes. And he will succeed at Man U in a couple of years too.

[danbo]

^Confidence there cantona....I think the test will be when he has to handle a losing streak - Will he be able to inspire everyone in the team to greater efforts....or will he just beat everyone up.

[danbo]

A nice head of hair, Roy Keane.

His band are a bit lame though

[Begbie]

Alex Ferguson was never liked on, or off the pitch, however he at least has some brains.

It's possible Keane could be a great manager.

Now Roy Keane appears to be all alone in the dressing room.

You know, I suspect that this would not stop him from having a furious argument.

If I was a Sunderland player, I would be shitein it - and somehow I think calling in sick for training wouldn't be acceptable either. Keano would be round your house faster than a tanked-up truant officer, dragging you back to the ground by the scruff of the neck with one hand, and repeatedly lamping you with the other.

I expect the Sunderland players to improve purely and simply due to fear. And some of them will play better with a closed-up black eye than they did with perfect health...

[Troubled]

He already has succeeded.
6 million GBP for 3 years

He'll fail cos he's gone to manage a bunch of useless pricks.

Love to see a celebrity death match between him and Shearer. Finish off what was started way back at St James.

Keane flapping and wind-millling like a raging psycho, Shearer side-stepping with hands down the side and a smirk on his face, then whack...lay the cnut out with one haymaker.

[danbo]

Well, he did okay I suppose....

[Spin]

^ aye runner up is good for them

[danbo]

Can they not still come top if the brummies lose and they win next week?

[Spin]

^yes. but we aint gonna let that happen

[burdon]

Some funny shit in this post.

I think Keane will be a great boss. He has done an incredible job thus far and I reckon he has everything it takes to be a top manager.

With Keane and Big Niall at Sunderland, who knows, they may even stay up next season.

My cash would be on Keane, he was a decent boxer when he was a lad.

[danbo]

^Mine too. I can't imagine Keane ever giving up - he'd be like that knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail.

He was a decent boxer when he was a footballer.

^hehe

The 'Championship' doesn't get that much coverage on terrestrial tele the UK - I look forward to seeing Roy strutting his stuff in the Premiership.

I don't think they'll be starting favourites to go down.
