Watched the excellent Off Off The Ball interview last night with Keane and Gary Neville. Really enjoyed it. I know he's a divisive character but was wondering what peoples general opinion of him was? For me he was an inspirational captain and leader as a player and the only pundit down south I'll listen to seriously along with Souness. Don't think Man United would have had the same success without him. Interesting to hear he wants another crack at management. All hypothetical but would anyone take him at Hibs? If we thought Lennon was box office Keane would be off the scale. Patchy managerial record though.

I doubt it would work out at Hibs. His standards would be too much for the comfy world of Scottish football and we would end up with another Collins situation in my opinion.
The facts are that the players have all the power in the game nowadays and Keane when he gets nasty would cause all sorts of issues in the dressing room. Lennon has people skills and a fun side that I'm not sure Keane has and look how that ended.

In his book he says that playing against the Hibs kids (our Golden Generation) was when he knew it was time to retire

Clearly something very wrong in his head. Recent article about the way he spoke to players at Ipswich and his recent comments about Jon Walters are disgraceful really. Needs professional help.

I just think he comes across as really bitter all the time. His absolute hatred of Alex Ferguson seems to stem from the fact he really thought he was a bit special and different to Fergie. Ultimately though he was treated in the exact same way as every other player who outlived their usefulness at Man Utd and he can't stand that.
He's a total caricature as far as I can see and some of his latest ramblings are verging on him being footballs answer to Katie Hopkins.

I love him.
Utterly mental but very honest and consistent.
You'd know where you stand with him and if your standards were high enough then you'd have nothing to worry about. If not.........
I just don't know if he'd struggle a bit with players at our level - players who lack his commitment or ability. He'd need to get a tune out of players who he maybe doesn't rate and like John Collins, I think he'd have problems there.

Apparently Jon Walters and Keane had a bit of a face off in Keane’s office when they were both at Ipswich. Sounds like Keane might have shat himself a wee bit when Walters refused to be bullied

I've met him a few times and he's a top guy. As most would expect he is in no way like his TV personality in real life. In fact he is pleasant and very genuine.

A better and more sucessful midfielder than some who are regarded as "premier league legends" despite never winning the premier league. He speaks his mind, whether you like him or not. That interview is quite good but it doesnt help when you have gary neville with his horrendously squeaky laugh every 2 minutes.

I could never get past his tackle on Alfe Inge Haaland. Flat out attempt to maim someone and just despicable. It's one thing to kick an opponent but that crossed every line imaginable....

Can't stand the guy. A miserable ******* and one who I don't doubt for a second isn't half as hard as he thinks he is.

Think he’s a knob and wouldn’t want him involved at Hibs. That’s without me actually knowing the man of course.

He's a bit all over the place. He'll play the hardman role and then turn victim when he talks about how Ferguson treated him.
It's a pretty hypocritical to think you can tear into players as a manager but constantly moan that you weren't respected as a player.
That said his display in the second leg of the Champions League semi final away to Juve the year they won it was one of the best captains performances I've ever seen.

He was ridiculously out of order at the Ireland training ground as well, coming into the changing room screaming at players who had injuries.

He's my kind of guy, but I'd hate to work with him.
