El-Reacho Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's going to be interesting to see what his role will actually be. The Irish Times do quite a good podcast and were talking about his role as a number 2 with ROI. MON has brought in Steve Walford and Steve Guppy as coaches. There was an open training session last week and it was those two who were doing the drills, barking out the orders etc. Keane was the silent guy standing on the touchlines with his hands behind his back. O'Neill was nowhere to be seen. I wonder who the actual coaches will be that are going to doing defensive drills, set pieces, formations etc. are going to be? Keane is supposedly very good at motivating players to play with their heads and be as smart as possible on the pitch - as in how to finish out games, how to manipulate games, and obviously as Marc Overmars can testify how to set the tone for a game with a classic reducer - I'm sure Delph will be keen to take some advice. That is certianly something we're in dire need of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Rather have Steve Kean I'm on my phone so I can't post a disgust/shock horror gif. He may be a good coach, I don't really know. But a lying, drunk driving slanderer isn't what I want at a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certianly something we're in dire need of. I'm fairly sure Delph has been slightly better since he STOPPED making retarded tackles in the first 15mins of games.

lexicon Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Delph's tackles weren't reducers - they were reckless challenges from him being a bit too pumped up and not thinking clearly. A reducer is a very calculated challenge and often works well, as underhand as it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I just can't see this working out to be honest. I can't see Roy Keane being happy to be a number two a Premier League club, and I think his style will clash horribly with Lambert who seems a bit more of an arm around the shoulders type.

Good Cop/Bad Cop. That didn't work out too well before with Culverhouse and Karsa. And it won't this time when you've got somebody with the ego of Roy Keane. Look at his career, he's never been able to say/do the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIVillan Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Roy as the number 2. Shake things up. He wants to win, He was a winner and he is also prepared to sacrifice himself for the good of the team. Think vs Juventus booked in semi meaning he will miss final. He digs in and drags United back into the game and into the final. The Final he was pleased about the win but didn't get involved in the celebrations because he wasn't out on the pitch that night unlike John Terry. Overstepped mark in 2002 with Ireland, but what he was saying was true that the setup of the training facilities wasn't good enough while the officials/suits made sure they were taken care off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Great appointment, born winner! And therein lies the problem. He isn't going to be happy being number two for such a shit manager, trying to train such a hopeless bunch of non-footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I think the big attraction for Keane is that as number 2, he'll be able to continue his role as Ireland number 2, which is obviously his priority. A full time managers job would have meant him having to sacrifice the Ireland role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
