I'm starting to think it may well be Roy Keane as first choice. Why else would Bain wait this long to appoint a new manager, unless the man he wants is currently unavailable?
Knowing us it's more likely waiting to give Stockdale another game. Would be the cheapest appointment of the lot. Bet that would appeal to Short and Bain.
If the Irish go out tonight I think its very possible. Would unite everyone top to bottom and he'd keep us up. J O S his number 2. There'd be 15,000 more there on Saturday.
John O'Shea is a **** house. Why do something so proactive as getting keane in only to appoint a complete numpty as his number two? Besides, can't see Keane coming back while Short owns the club.
That's my thinking too. It has to be an appointment that brings the fans back to the SOL and lifts everyone's spirit. No sooner have I said this and Ireland have just scored!
We 're thinking Keane won't be interested as long as Short is around. On the other hand, if Short is interested, the appeal for Keane is that he would have the upper hand --- ie I have a lot of demands and conditions..... keep out of my management etc
The worst football I've ever watched was under Poyet. I'd be more inclined to see if Moyes would come back with Grayson as number 2. Dogshit.
But no approach has been made yet. So if Barnsley say no or he doesn't want it we are gonna be back to square one 3 weeks down the line. Shambles.
Sky was reporting last night that Sam had turned them down because the contract offer was only to the end of the season.
