Roy Keane to manage Man City

pwd

Well that's what an article in the Sunday World suggests :rolleyes:

Struggling Manchester City are a club likely to be interested in the former captain of deadly rivals Man United and news of his availability may be the final nail in Mark Hughes coffin.

The article says he's indicated he is ready to return to management and also links him to Celtic if Strachan leaves at the end of the season.

Unsurprisingly I was unble to find any articles about any of this online. It was on the back page of the Sunday World Jan 4.

That lad should never get another job in management again...how can he be ready to come back after walking out on Sunderland a matter of weeks ago. Anyway I think his ego would clash with the likes of Robinho and other big name signings that City are after. I think it's pure crap, even if Hughes is on his way out, then I think they have the money to lure one of the big names in management, and Roy Keane does NOT come close to coming into this bracket.

No-one in their right mind would give him a club ...


... although it's just the kind of thing some crazy sheiks might do.


He's still a largely unproven manager - the only proven part being that he's a terrible loser and doesn't have the bottle for a real fight.

Dave!

I'm beginning to think that a website or something is necessary where journalists are named alongside their predictions/suggestions, and they're highlighted when they're wrong.

Maybe that will stop all of the bullsh*te that you so often see in the tabloids.

Having said that, maybe this will happen! Probably not though.

Rofles.

Burton Albion need a manager.

Roy Keane at City?! That's almost as crazy as Peter Schmeichel going over to the blue side!!! Oh, wait...

Man City have got loads of money, why would they be interested in selling a few thousand shirts in Ireland?

There is! Well, not a list, but its a daily feature on football 365 called mediawatch which takes the piss out of bad predictions and bad football journalism.
Here's yesterdays, you can browse older ones, usually they post up a new one for todays papers at around noon.

And having to take Sunderland trade-ins at that!

I doubt City would offer Keane the job but if they did he would be jump at it. The lad has taken every opportunity to distance himself from Manchester United since leaving them.

Quint

Are people actually taking this story seriously?
City are possibly the richest club in the world, they can have their choice of managers. Why would they pick a failed premiership manager? It's like believing that Madrid, Milan or Chelsea are after Keane. It's tabloid rubbish

It would never EVER happen, and not because he's a crap manager.

wont happen, cant see keane getting another prem job anytime soon, would be more likely to get a mid championship table (if any at present), yes he done a great job with sunderland, but think he showed a major weakness walking out on them, had he stayed and kept them up another season, then he might have showed some credentials and had some chance of managing another prem side

think he should maybe join a prem club as an assistant, or maybe some mentoring, wont recomend man utd, would be to much pressure and would maybe never get full credit for results with sir alex watching over him all the time from the stands

I agree but if such an opportunity as to manage one of United's bitter rivals arose then I'd have no doubts that Roy Keane would take that job.

Quint

I remember last year he was being touted as a possible replacement for Fergie. That seems fairly ridiculous now

Roar

well, he kept sunderland from relegation last year, which is maybe may city are interested in him
