Off Topic Warm Glow- Since 2014- now like Milan- Mackem Free

Between signing an ex player older than Gandolf the White and even considering re-employing Keane, the owners are obviously looking at going down the memory lane route to appease the classless.

Which begs the question.........Does the billionaire kid not have enough pocket money to buy Sewpa Kev out his South Shields contract?

 

<< SSN BREAKING NEWS >>

"Roy Keane is looking forward to bringing his former Manchester United colleagues Wes Brown and John O'Shea back to Sunderland, where they both previously enjoyed great success. Sunderland fans are getting very excited about this new era for SAFC."

 

I really want this to be true and not a joke

 

Marco Gabbiadini has apparently been seen at the training ground.

It's like Dad's Army over there

 

Its all a bit weird. Keane has had two managerial jobs and failed twice. First time at Sunderland, got out the championship and then struggled at PL level, ended up resigning with them 18th or something. Then Ipswich was just a disaster. Was it not then someone like Sbragia who got the Mackems to safety? I think he was a top player but I've never really felt he understood the tactical side of management in modern football. Better pundit for his quips than he is a manager I would say.

 

Agbonlahor has totally ripped into Keane's coaching/management style from when he was assistant at Villa and warned Sunderland not to take him on again - not that I like Agnonlahor either, but it's funny to read anyway.

 

I think its one of those situations where top top players don't always make great coaches. I think he probably watches them and thinks "why the **** can't you do that better, you're ****"

I can't see how going to Sunderland is going to help him with that problem

 

I think it's called 'immersive therapy'. It will either be kill or cure (and by "kill" I mean Keane killing the Sunderland players).

 

If he thought he had a load of **** hawks last time, wait till he gets to the training ground this time.

 

I really want them to do another Netflix special for this so we get to see things behind closed doors

 

With Keane at the helm you'd get some comedic value for sure. Micah Richards as assistant

 

Bruce confirmed as West Brom manager.

"I am coming in with one aim and that is to get Albion to the Premier League"

Lascelles, Clark, Hayden and Gayle could be perfect signings for you Steve.

 

I'll be the 1st to offer them a lift down

 

i bet you he takes at least 2 of those to the Baggies.

 

If only he had got the job earlier before the window shut, he could have helped with our clear out

 

Where’s Sid and Nigel to hail their new messiah?

 

They'll be back after they play the mighty Doncaster.

 

Just in case Sid is having a sly peek...Bolton 6 v 0 Mackems

 

I like it. Lodging it nice and early

 

The emotional appointment of Keane will end up hilarious if they fail to go up. The toys will be flung far and wide - fingers crossed
