Stratvillan Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Keane is a professional miserable git, who screwed his own country, tried to end an opponents career, and has been abject as a manager. I dont care what he thinks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to remember all Roy Keane coaching credentials like coming over to Tom Cleverley to confront him when both at Villa or spending a bucketload at Sunderland and barely keeping them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took over the club when we were 15th in the Championship. Promotion in his first season, Cup Final and Premier League survival in his second. The dressing room is united and the players all love him. We‘d be an absolute laughing stock if we sacked him. No manager worth his salt would want to work under that kind of a regime either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I notice Roy Keane astutely avoids mentioning his performance as a coach at Aston Villa and his own performance as a manager at Ipswich and Sunderland (spoiler, he was cack) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think us celebrating staying up on the last day after being odds on (massively) for the drop is the reason why we don't win things? Have you actually seen the **** state of who has been in charge (including Doug) since we last won stuff? Carp on about mentality all you like mate but suggesting that celebrating staying up after coming up through the playoffs, having to replace 17 (SEVENTEEN) players going out of the club and try and stay in the division, is bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Well he’s sorted the biggest issue which is the defence. Add some decent firepower and who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need a proper goalscorer. Then two wide forwards, two fullbacks too. Keep AEG and Trez as competition for places, and Guilbert and Targett too. Poss DM cover for Luiz and a keeper So that's 7, so at prem prices, a snip at £280m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that mate. We havent kept a clean sheet away all season with a -26 GD. I think defence requires more work. Although it could be just training or formation rather than new players. But I think we need an extra quality RB and LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I think no one would have complained if Dean was sacked in January, he was part of the problem. I did lose faith prior to lock down and thought we couldn’t improve under him. But I fully back him now as our manager: he dug deep during lock down and emerged with a different approach. He learned he couldn’t attack every match and that was the only way he knew by his own admission. He instilled a discipline and determination in the team that was missing, He organised us as a solid unit and from then on he was no longer part of the problem, he showed he learns and adapts. We lack quality at the sharp end of the team and this is much of what is wrong with this squad. I think Dean deserves next season and will be better for this season’s experience. I hope they buy him some quality to work with, and I hope he continues to learn and adapt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
