Apparently his interview with Gary Neville on Youtube, confirmed he was in talks with the club before we appointed Frankie, would be open to the offer again.

I knew he was spoken to but not seen the interview. Will try watch later.

Would you have been happy with Roy?

I'd have him just for his interviews... He seemed to place great store in being backed and supported at Sunderland though........ Here? har har hardy har har...... He'd bugger off in a fortnight. 😀

Watch the video that @HunterLionheart posted yesterday, you'll see that the image you have of Keane is nonsense.

Comes across as a winner AND likeable. Dispels a few myths, too.

You're wrong. It's not nonsense. I used to work with a bloke who lives near him. Keane kicked off extremely aggressively in his carpet shop that he ran near Bowden, and the same bloke has been telling me for years that Keane regularly causes issues and angry confrontations with his neighbours there.

Or maybe he is sick of being hassled as he alludes to in the video.

Maybe your mate is prone to exaggerating a tad with his stories, it happens. Unless you were there 1st hand Harry...

The truth will be somewhere inbetween.
 
Anybody read his autobiography, think it’s called ‘Second Half’? Ghost writer is Roddy Doyle and for anyone dismissing Roy Keane as a one dimensional teacup thrower would do well to read this. He is introspective and thoughtful, he knows the mistakes he made in previous management roles and says he has learned from them. Obviously… it’s his book so he will paint the picture he wishes people to see, but I felt the book was sincere and based on what I read, he’s worth another chance somewhere. Also a damn good read for those who enjoy this activity!
 
Keans one and only visit to the HacIenda. Walked in with the Nevilles and Beckham etc and whilst they partied he stood at the bar, slowly finished his drink with stoney expression then walked out. Apparently Frankie Mc was a regular and tore the place apart.
Keans chat up line.'do you know who I am?' Charmer.

To be fair, the first few paragraphs are probably exactly what happens here, but he's just been honest enough to say it out loud.

Players not wanting to be there, and the one who just got in his car and drove away.

As a RoI supporter, wouldn't want him anywhere near us.

Integrity - slagged off the FAI and walked away from the team, then went back years later and along with o'Neil took the team back years with dinosaur tactics. Did next to fuck all to give the FAI a kick up the arse when in a prime position to do so.

Management Style - shout, if that doesn't work then shout some more. Remember sitting behind him on the paddock when we hammered his Ipswich team (1-0) under Failure Fergie. His hissy fits and antics were way more entertaining than the game.

Let him stick to the tv, even there he can sometimes come across as a parody of how we remember him as a player (great that he was).

Sums my thoughts up Perfectly
I’d rather have no manager at all then him
And this isn’t pne related really. General football

There's no way Trev and the Riddler will let Roy Keane manage PNE, imagine the amount of hassle he'd cause them 🤣

Be brilliant to watch though.

I'd love to him here, he'd sort out the cruisers in our team, they'd have to bring spare undies to training cos they'd shit themselves. Hemmings & Ridsdale would not entertain him as he wouldn't be a yes man, he's got a lucrative job for life on telly anyway.
He says what he likes & he likes what he bloody well say. He would take NO shit.👍

But is he a good manager?
