Sketchy reports saying we're approaching Keane again. He was on my list anyway, but just started thinking that that man could be the catalyst we need to get the BS sorted out from dressing room to board room. MO'N as DoF would round things off nicely.

Hope to God it ain't true.

That bad kev?

Ye Jim I really believe so.
One good season at Sunderland that's it.
I can't understand this opinion that he will sort out the dressing room when at both Sunderland and Ipswich Town there were major problems in his dressing roomso.
The players threw parties when he left.
I don't think he would be on anyone's list if he wasn't irish and played for the club.
People saying him over lambert also baffle me when lambert has achieved more as a manager.

One sensational season at Sunderland I would say when they won the Championship. And I hate Sunderland.
To be fair it's not like he's been a manager for 20 years either. I don't quite know what would be fair to expect of that Sunderland in the BPL apart from survival.
Ok on the face Ipswich was poor but, find me a manager who does better every season, and if you do, ask them to come to us. I like Lambert too, but wouldn't say no because of a poor spell at Villa.
As for the dressing rooms, I can only speak for Sunderland, he fined players for being late to training and dropped players when they were late for the bus. If I'm late for work - I get docked. If they needed a kick up the backside, he gave it. He certainly wasn't unfair to people from what I'm told. DiCanio; now there's a guy who mistreats people. Roy Keane was just trying to set standards. His way. There were people in the background at Sunderland who weren't helping him, RK has said as long as people still there stay there, managers will continue to walk. SOUND FAMILIAR?
With the correct DoF (MO'N) , he could be great for us. RK is a catalyst I think we could need. There'd be more to us getting RK in than meets the eye. I hope he sits down with DD and spells things out.
For me, it's got nowt to do with being Irish or Celtic minded mate believe me.

Keane and Walters had to be separated after coming to blows.
If a dressing room hates you that much that they have a party when you leave then I'd say it's a problem.
Also Jim ask yourself why celtic is the only job he is ever linked with.
{Ed007's Note - Walters should feel lucky then , most people that come to blows with Keane usually only need separated from the floor afterwards. So now that fighting with team-mates is ruling candidates out of the running that should put any Larsson talk to bed, remember he picked a fight a fight with Tosh McKinlay thinking he was a hardman and got his arse handed to him and a shiner to boot.
Or is it one rule for one and a different rule for others, Remember Owen Coyle shouldn't get the job because he turned it down, is that the same rule for Larsson who turned it down or Keane who tuned it down as well?}

Wasn't a team mates it was at Ipswich.
I don't care if anone has turned us down before as long as they are good enough I'd still employ them.
I just don't think Keane is good enough but then neither is larsson or coyle.

One thing you could guarantee if Keane turned up Commons, Forrest and Co wouldn't hang around. Their wee egos would pass them down over the hadrain wall to some 1st or 2nd div side that might fancy a gamble.
