The Roy Keane style of management

I like his contempt for the fannies who inhabit the modern game, Souness is very similar, but with the missing 'filter' that you speak of.

 

But if billy whitehurst did it it would be great??
No problem from me about it as Harland accused Keane of faking when he’s ruptured his knee.
Retribution
Wish there was more of it tbh

 

Keane is and will always be one of the biggest ****s in football.

 

If you think Keane and Whitehurst are similar footballers, you don’t remember much about Whitehurst. And as men they are entire opposites.

 

Really how so??
Do expand with your superior knowledge

 

I went to a Whitehurst evening at Blackies a few years ago. Whilst his language was colourful, he didn’t strike me as anything like Keane. Keane is a grade A ****.

 

No it wouldnt be great, there's a big difference between tough men going in hard , and somebody studding somebody in the knee . If you think that's great then that's a shame

 

In another stomach churning jape, Billy once called in an apprentice player to send on an errand. He apparently wasn’t happy with his lunch. “Take this chocolate mousse back to the supermarket son, tell them I want a refund, It smells like ****.” The apprentice caught a drift of the stench and confirmed that all was not right with the potted product. Whitehurst erupted ” Are you suggesting that I’d **** in a mousse pot? What do you think I am, a ****ing animal? Get to the shop and tell the bastards I want my money back.” Whether that apprentice ever returned can not be confirmed at this time.

That sounds hilarious
Character building that

I was actually looking for an article that referred to Big Billy taking out Bradford's keeper in that 1984/85 top of the table clash - leaving him with bust ribs and teeth ?

Happy to be corrected.

Game stopped for about 10 mins iirc.

 

Whitehurst is also blamed for destroying Paul Bracewell's career too.

 

Can’t have happened that
Billy was very much like Clint Eastwood on the pitch
Wanted to be left alone until someone did something then he would mete our retribution.
Certainly never stamped on anyone
Elbowed anyone
Nutted anyone
Ever

 

Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough being used in comparison to Roy ****ing Keane.

You couldn't make this **** up

 

"Damned United" ring a bell ? TWS players had no love for Clough, but that may well be more a case of the loss of Revie than actual animosity.

 

Bang on as ever Ben

 

They didn't like Clough because he told them at his first ever meeting with them that ''since they'd cheated to win them'' they should sling all their medals into the bin - he slagged Revie off to them at every opportunity and told them that most of them were ''past it and on their way out''. Since this was a team that had suckled like babies at Revies tit, Clough never stood a chance. He acknowledges the same in his first biography.

 

I know. They didn't respect him was my point. Presume you're agreeing with my comment ?

 

Shocked to hear my hero Billy compared to that arsehole Keane. Billy always knew his limits unlike Keane who is arrogance personified. His management style can be summed up the same as his managerial career, unimpressive with outdated methods.

 

In days gone by the average player was shall we say less precious then today's lot .. hence why the managers used to berate them so harshly .. i personally think the boot thrown across the changing room by Fergy at Beckham brought an end to that .. although I do recall Brian Laws throwing a tray of sandwiches across the changing room at Ivano Bonetti at Grimsby not long after .. mind you Laws and Bonettie were shagging the same employee at the club !

Today's pampered pooches need a totally different method of management .. softly softly stuff with arms placed firmly around d the shoulders that ear 5 and 6 figure somes per week .. the poor cherubs, and some still call it a mans game !

However one thing I do agree with is Keane being a prize twat .. probably the king of twats tbf.

 

From what I have read about Keane he comes across as a sad, pathetic figure.

He actually portrays the hard man image all day every day outside of football.

He treats regular people on the street with contempt because he’s big bad Roy Keane.

Laughable really.
