The worst pro Roy had ever seen is not named but it's obviously. Nothing we don't know already like. What a bunch of Representatives for Wellingborough. Watched the club burn and still people think Gabby is a legend. Clowns. I absolutely love Roy Keane. I don't think he will make a good manager has a real dark side sometimes but he is a genuinely good guy and laugh Absolutely loved that interview, he showed a different side to him and at times it felt like he almost forgot the camera was there. The bit about Villa was really interesting, I couldn't really work out who he was referring to when he said the bit about Villa having 2 of the worst professionals he's ever worked with. Could well be Gabby, because just before that he did say something like "I see them doing media work now" - and obviously Gabby is doing talksport these days. He talked about it in the interview and I've always found it baffling how his managerial career has been misconstrued. He did a pretty remarkable job at Sunderland, but that seems to be completely glossed over because he had a poor spell at Ipswich. Not been able to get a job since, strange. Ironic really that when he talked about some championship/league 1 managers being able to get 6 or 7 managerial jobs in a row without any success the first name I thought of was Lambert, who he worked for at Villa.

Xela Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Where about is the Villa bit on the interview? Can't seem to find it. Also, where was it filmed out of interest! Looks lovely. I assume around Cheshire somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played at Aston Wood, just round the corner from Shenstone. He played in the group behind us and we were held up by a slow 4 ball in front so had him right behind us on a few tee shots. Mentioned the slow play in front and he smiled. Seemed a nice guy. I wanted to say up the Villa but bottled it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this: Quote The straw that broke the camel's back was when a verbal dispute with Agbonlahor almost escalated into a physical confrontation. It is understood the Villa stalwart was discussing tactics with manager Paul Lambert when Keane interrupted. Agbonlahor didn't take too kindly to Keane's interjection and responded, "Excuse me, but I’m talking to the boss!" The two men then became involved in a heated altercation and had to be separated from each other. Lambert held a meeting with Keane later that day when they decided on the assistant manager's early resignation. Apparently, Keane also clashed with Fabian Delph. He allegedly criticised Delph during a training season in front of the entire team, which the English midfielder did not appreciate. Delph was said to have shouted "Don’t try to f****** mug me off!" back at Keane during the incident https://www.sportsjoe.ie/football/the-astounding-real-story-behind-roy-keanes-aston-villa-resignation-revealed-5719 Edited August 27, 2021 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I'm no fan of Roy Keane, but Agbonlahor absolutely took the piss here for years. Top scorer or not, the guy is a word removed who took the club for a ride, he should have been shipped out years before. He was a thick, lazy joke of a man, and it says it all that his career was basically done at 29. Mr Aston Villa my arse. "Time for a drink", yeah mate, that's why you're a **** has been and Ashley Young is still playing in the Premier League. **** bellend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. Didn't he get sent to fat camp twice? As a highly paid professional athlete. It absolutely beggars belief how much we let him take the piss. He embodies everything that was wrong with this club in those final years before relegation. It was absolutely rotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
