Is there any evidence that Roy Keane is a bully shouty manager, or is it just assumed?

There's plenty evidence of him being a shouty hothead.

His tantrums during Ireland's world cup campaign are legendary. He called Mick McCarthy an English C***, iirc.

So he’s a factually correct hothead

Out of the two Irish radges being linked, he’d probably be my marginal preference.

But still not convinced.

Let's go the whole hog and get them both!

Now that would be entertainment! 🤣

Aye, but as a manager?

Was more him criticising the amateur aspect of Ireland's World Cup preparations wasn't it?

Hothead no doubt, but often right in his assertion.

If you’re right I still have no idea what the point of the sentence was.

One place.

You said he’s been crap everywhere else he’s been, but he’s only managed one other club.

If you’re a confrontational bloke who rubs people up the wrong way, annoys or intimidates and your job is to manage a group of people it doesn’t really matter if you’re right.

Yes he did. The fans love him at Sunderland and were gutted he didnt get the gig recently when talks fell through.

If he is interested we have to talk to him. Ron would be interested in the profile raising that Keane would bring for the club as well I think.

I had the same thought as you about what our owner's reaction might be. Remains to be seen if it is financially viable though. Seems like a while since he actually managed. Keane is a very volatile character and personally I wouldn't fancy being managed by him.

Correct. He’s not exactly been hiding, why has no-one else been interested?

It was.

You can be right and still be a shouty, aggressive bam.

It's all in the delivery!

[Stubbsy90+2]

No thanks.

Not all that great a record anyway but also hasn’t managed for 11 years.

He's only just decided he wants back into management. Sunderland wanted him just a few months ago.

[Smartie]

I loved his book, but we’ll need to have moved on from John Collins’ time if it were to work.

Asking “Do you think Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is in there eating f*****g cheese sandwiches?” is another way of stripping to your waist and comparing six packs with the players.

[Green_one]

Dying to see the manager Hibs are going to sign who is clearly better than Roy Keane

Apparently it is not going to be an inexperienced manager or one with some history of failure


Whoever we get will be a gamble. Keane is a big name and has been through the furnace of failure. He knows little of Scottish football but if that is a deal killer then we are just left with the usual managerial merry go round.

In my opinion he would at least be worth speaking to. If it’s a straight no then I really wonder about expectations. Especially when a third of respondents are voting for Lennon!

Personally I hope he continues to do the media gig as I find him entertaining. Doubt Hibs can match his probable demands

Did he not take sunderland from the relegation zone in the championship to winning the league in the same season?

The season was only 5 games old when he took over and he spent £5m before the window closed and another £3m in January - big sums for Championship at the time.

I mean, all of this entire site is speculation/opinion but I suspect if clubs were interested he’d have had more jobs than Ipswich and ROI assistant in the last 15 years.

If he’s interested in the hibs job he’d probably have been interested in about 40 clubs in England over the years if they’d had the slightest inclination of employing him.

[hibby rae]

On his man management, the vibe I get is he doesn't suffer those that don't put effort in, but he looks after his own.

I could be wrong, but that's what I thought.

[Since452]

Said on the other thread but could be a perfect fit. Hibs needing a much needed boost that Keane would immediately bring. Create a bit of buzz around the place. Keane looking to kick start his managerial career at one of the biggest clubs in Scotland with huge ambition and standards and who love a bit of glitz. Think it would be a great move for both parties.

People can't see past the character he plays up to now on the TV, Andy. I'd doubt many on here have even watched a Keane side live. The main concern with Keane should be the amount or time away from a job he has had. 11 years is a long time without being the top man at a club!

Again, he's only just decided he wants to be a manager again.

Hibs are a big name in Scotland and Edinburgh is a brilliant city with easy transport links to rest of UK. Timing could just be right for this one.

I get the concerns about him as well, but who else out of the realistic names banded about is a better and/or more exciting shout?

[Pagan Hibernia]

Yes please.

[Hibbyradge]

This thread suggests that Keane would not be a unifying force.

Some players might take to him, but others would clash or at least be unhappy.

Collins was hated by a lot of players because of his style and his intolerance of what he deemed not to be professional, and I think Roy Keane's approach would likely engender similar feelings.

Yes, if it worked on the field.

[A Hi-Bee]

Bring in Roy with Broony as his assistant, only problem I can see is who would play the "good cop" to many snowflakes around. I would love to see this real winner at Hibs. Season tickets sold no problem.
