    Just watching the new overlap and the 4 of them are having a meal with chiellini and Keane has just said he wanted him at Sunderland when he was young and just coming through with a fee of between 12-15 million and he's just admitted he said yes. Why we didn't buy him who knows

    Let's be blunt, Keane was/is unemployable.

    None of us would have him in our business because he'd upset everyone, customers and staff alike ...

    ... then storm off if you attempted to have a quiet word.

    22-24 and playing for Juventus.

    It's not like Roy Keane found him or anything, not sure what he's trying to take credit for other than the fact he could have and didn't ruin the lad's career like he did for Greg Halford.

    He still done a good job here. Football has changed a lot though and I’m not surprised he’s struggled to get back into management.
