snowychap Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Beards are great. I still think that Keane is a prize clearing in the woods. It's a good job we won yesterday otherwise he, his beard and his appalling attitude towards officials would have been the number one reason for a defeat.

Popular Post Bunnski Posted August 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2014 ...or maybe he is just a born winner and not a clearing in the woods at all. He always pushed himself and his team to the levels required to be the best they could be. He will have a more hands on role now compared to when he was managing and he also looks to of copped on a fair bit. Yeah he did some stupid things over the years but who hasn't ? He is exactly the type of character we need to improve us. He takes no shit and is as honest as they come. Keanoooooo 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Condimentalist Posted August 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2014 From the Guardian's 10 talking points: 9) Keane can help restore fire to Villa bellies Aston Villa have bagged some relatively high-profile signings this summer and, if Joe Cole, Kieran Richardson and Philippe Senderos perform at their best, and Carlos Sánchez can adapt quickly to English football after impressing for Colombia in the World Cup, then with Christian Benteke to come back from injury in October, they may just be comfortable this season as the search for new owners is stepped up. But just as important as the new players might be the addition of Roy Keane in the dugout. Rarely can an assistant manager have had his name chanted as Keane’s was at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday as Villa deservedly won 1-0 thanks to a wholehearted and disciplined performance. It is ironic as Villa seek to stop the rot that started with Martin O’Neill’s departure four years ago, two of his protégés are leading the challenge: Paul Lambert, his captain at Celtic, and Keane, now his assistant with Ireland. Lambert seems to be troubled by very little ego so will not mind if Keane’s name is chanted as long as Villa are winning. He paid full tribute to his new right-hand man’s pedigree after a victory that bore many of the hallmarks that made Keane the warrior he was as a player. “He’s been brilliant for us,” Lambert said. “Anybody who’s seen him play a game of football knows how much he wants to win. The game’s all about winning; the more games you win, the better you become.” Referees will not give 50/50 decisions against Villa lightly. Every one that went Stoke’s way on Saturday – and there were a few 40/60s as well – Lambert, no shrinking violet himself, and Keane were out into their technical area (what a misnomer that is, by the way – it is more a shouting cage), asking Anthony Taylor to think carefully about repeating such folly. Then the fourth official would get a glare for good measure on their way back. Keane seems to be the kind of character who can help return fire to Villa’s bellies. And surely, working alongside O’Neill for a while now, on the TV gantry then the international arena, he will have learned when to bark and when to bite his tongue compared with the young manager who promised so much at Sunderland before failing at Ipswich Town. No one will bully Villa lightly. Their players made sure of that on the field and Keane followed suit from the touchline. When Mark Hughes attempted to shout Weimann to get off the field more quickly as the Villa matchwinner was substituted, Keane simply laughed at his former Manchester United team-mate. You can imagine him asking whether Hughes would have hurried off if he was winning. When the Stoke manager was asked what their banter had entailed, Hughes replied: “I was having a go at his player, not at Roy – I’m not that daft!” Villa fans will take pride from this refusal to lie down without a fight and it could come in handy in the challenging months ahead in what is certain to be a transitional season. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A guy at my work apparently knows Ashley Young, and has said that Keane IS getting the Villa job. I call mega-bullsh*t though, as he also said that Young was signing for Everton and that Lescott and Barry both 'asked' if they could sign for us, and Lambert said no.

Popular Post GENTLEMAN Posted August 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why are people trying to manufacture tension between Keane and Lambert? There is nothing to suggest that Keane wants to be a full time manager again, more importantly there is much more evidence against this idea. Do people forget Keane turned down the Celtic position? Besides, I always perceived Keane as a loyal guy regardless of what the media conjectured and SAF wrote about the man. Keane wants to help Lambo rebuild the mighty Villa, nothing more. I wish people would stop buying into this unfair media construction. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah Keane and Lambert are friends and that's why he's been made assistant. I'm hoping this proves to be a success as the early signs are promising. Keano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Lambert does not want a best friend for an assistant, I believe he wanted a strong individual and personality like Keane. One of the speculated reasons why Lambert failed at Livingston was due to appointing his best friend Norrie McWhirter as assistant.
