Roy Keane
Nice people. Nice town. Nice team. But how long can Roy Keane be... Mr Nice?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fergie, Clough, Sir Bobby, they all struggled... I still can be one of the best managers - Keane dailymail.co.uk, Michael Walker - 07th August 2009 Mr. Nice Guy ... ??? Roy Keane must not have passed a mirror in his three months in Suffolk with Ipswich Town. As he extolled the beguiling gentility of this corner of England yesterday morning, Keane said: 'I've not bumped into one angry person yet.' Boom boom. This was the smiling, relaxed version of Keane, any dissatisfaction at the pace of transfer activity, or anything else at Portman Road, well disguised. Enjoy it while it lasts. Four days before his 38th birthday, Keane said that he has 'settled well' into his new home and in praising the area's civility observed: 'I've not seen anyone have road rage, everyone is dead nice, enjoying life. I'm even getting nice myself.' Everyone laughed, including Keane. It was that sort of morning. But he would not be the man of legendary impatience if there were not wariness about such niceness, a certain suspicion, and beneath the charm, sure enough, Keane senses danger. 'You can get sucked into a comfort zone in any walk of life,' he said, 'but particularly footballers and particularly at this football club, because it is such a nice area. 'I'm not knocking that but I think the team can be accused of being a nice team. Whenever we go away to places like Sheffield United, we might not have the ball for 60 or 70 per cent of the game - it's no use being nice then.' A county attribute had swiftly been turned into a potential football fault. It was one reason why the Ipswich squad spent two preseason days at an army barracks, from which one player, Colin Healy, is yet to recover. 'I hope he's still alive somewhere,' Keane joked. 'It was a good idea, tough, a change of scenery. Lack of sleep, lack of food . . . it was good.' The message to his players is: 'I can be a very demanding person and I don't make any apologies for that. Some of them have lost their way, some of them have fallen into the comfort zone, nice area, decent wages, very nice people and they get sucked into that, just coasting. They won't be coasting with me.' Keane's concern is understandable. Even though it was a serene morning at Portman Road, where the statue of Sir Bobby Robson continued to attract a steady flow of mourners, the reality for Keane is that this mood will be a memory if Ipswich Town do not start well in their eighth consecutive Championship season, and do not sustain a challenge. There have been signings, such as Healy and, from Manchester United's reserves, Lee Martin, but there need to be 'two or three more' according to the manager. He was hopeful that three could arrive in time for Sunday's trip to Coventry. Watford striker Tamas Priskin is on his way after a medical yesterday, and Sunderland forward Daryl Murphy is a target. But everyone knows Ipswich's biggest name is in the dugout and that is a reflection of the squad. 'I'm under no illusions,' he recognised, 'I'm here to get the team promoted.' Then, cranking up the pressure on himself and all those around him, just as he did at Sunderland in his first managerial post, Keane spelled out a timetable of achievement. 'I have my own aims and if we don't get promoted this year or by the end of my contract here in two years' time then I would certainly class that as failure, without a shadow of a doubt,' he said. Inspiration: Robson's success at Ipswich offers hope to Keane 'None of this mid-table business. Any half-decent manager can get a team to mid-table. I want to be one of the best managers around. That will come from experience. Sunderland will stand me in good stead because, despite one or two bad decisions, I think I did some decent stuff up there.' He did. Even though he did not pick a team at Sunderland until September, in his first season on Wearside, Keane led them to the Championship title and promotion. A repeat of that with Ipswich would aid the restoration of a reputation that took several hits last autumn as Sunderland declined alarmingly and Keane took to nurturing a beard. Then he walked out. Does he have a point to prove, he was asked. 'We certainly need more points than we got last year,' he replied. 'Listen, I've come here for the challenge, like I said many times. I'm really looking forward to it.' Over the past week, Robson has emerged as a source of optimism and consolation. He toiled in his first two years at Ipswich and endured calls from supporters for his head. Keane attended a club barbecue the other night and said: 'From my point of view it was good to hear stories of Sir Bobby struggling in his first two or three years - it gives you a bit of hope. 'You automatically think these great managers - like Brian Clough at Leeds, Alex Ferguson in his first few years - that it was all about win, win, win. They struggled. 'When Sir Bobby was first here they were trying to get him out, a few supporters. When I say a few, I think there were about 10 - the biggest demo they ever had. 'And he was rewarded with a 10-year deal! So I think I need to lose a few games, I might get a 10-year contract. But great stories, that's what makes your football club.' |

Re: Roy Keane
pasti nih di kamar ganti pada digamparin ama oom keane deh... makanye maennya yang bener,,, ============================================ Keane blasts sloppy Ipswich AFP - 9 August 2009 17:55 LONDON (AFP) - Ipswich manager Roy Keane slammed his side for sloppy defending after they lost their Championship opener 2-1 at Coventry City on Sunday. Clinton Morrison bagged a brace for the Sky Blues but although Jon Walters sparked a mini-recovery by Ipswich the Suffolk side could not pinch an equaliser with home keeper Keiren Westwood making a number of fine stops. Keane was furious as his side ensured that he will spend his 38th birthday on Monday brooding. "We gave two very poor goals away and lacked sharpness in the final third but that will come in the coming weeks and months," said the former Manchester United firebrand. "The first goal came from a goal-kick and the starting position of everyone was very poor. "And the second one, Clinton has headed it at knee height. If you're a defender and he heads it that low you take his head off, it's as simple as that. "I'll be down tonight but the day my appetite isn't affected by defeat I'll be out of the game. I am trying to learn from my experiences at Sunderland and not get too downhearted." Coventry boss Chris Coleman said the win would lift some of the 'negativity' hanging over the club who were relegated from the Premiership back in 2001. "Throughout pre-season there has been a lot of negativity around us," he said. "I'm sure Roy will go back home and kick his cat because he hates losing but that's a feather in our cap," Coleman concluded. On Saturday, Newcastle made a spluttering start to life in the Championship as the fallen giants scraped a 1-1 draw at fellow-relegated side West Bromwich Albion, Damien Duff levelling after Shelton Martis had put the Baggies ahead. Cardiff City slammed promoted Scunthorpe 4-0 to celebrate moving to the new Cardiff City Stadium. At Derby, Nigel Clough won the battle of the famous managerial sons as the Rams defeated Peterborough 2-1. Clough, the son of former Nottingham Forest and Derby boss Brian, is in his first full season at Pride Park, while Peterborough are led by Darren Ferguson, son of Manchester United chief Sir Alex. Gary Teale netted Derby's late winner after George Boyd's penalty for Peterborough had cancelled out Miles Addison's early opener. Barnsley came from behind to draw 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough while Blackpool boss Ian Holloway's return to Loftus Road was spoiled by a late QPR equaliser in a 1-1 draw. League One champions Leicester got their return to the Championship off to a great start as they beat Swansea 2-1 and Preston scored twice in the last eight minutes to draw 2-2 with Bristol City. Reading were held to a goalless draw at the Madejski Stadium by Nottingham Forest who had Luke Chambers sent off. Watford shared a 1-1 draw with Doncaster and Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Plymouth. |

Re: Roy Keane
KEANO! There’s Only One Keano!
Keano! There’s only one Keano! There’s only one Keano! February 1st 2005 – Roy Keane chases Patrick Vieira down the tunnel, with the Senegalese born midfielder shitting himself and running off. “I’ll see you out there!” Keano threatened. That he did. Vieira totally bottles it in the match. United beat Arsenal 4-2 at Highbury. Five years later, after Inter Milan have chosen not to renew his contract, Vieira is back in the Premiership, earning a ridiculous £150,000 a week! Vieira, woooah Vieira, woooah He comes from Senegal He gave Giggsy the ball And Arsenal won **** all! Code:

Re: Roy Keane
Roy Keane: Stars now want big money, a Bentley and a blonde, not to play for their country
Roy Keane has backed Wayne Bridge’s decision to quit England and claimed: ‘International football is no longer the pinnacle for players.’ The former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland captain believes today’s stars are more interested in perks than caps. Ipswich manager Keane said: ‘The pinnacle now is getting the big contract, the Bentley and the blonde.’ Keane famously stormed out of the Republic of Ireland squad on the eve of the World Cup finals in the Far East eight years ago after a bust-up with boss Mick McCarthy. He admitted: ‘I have some identity with players who aren’t happy with the set-up. ‘The easiest thing would be to do what everyone is telling you to do and just sit there with your mouth shut. ‘They will say “Keep your head down, say nothing and keep the peace”. Do I sound like a man of experience? ‘But if you’re not happy you’re not going to perform to the best of your ability and ultimately you will let your team-mates down.’ Keane recalled his own dramatic walk-out and insisted players have to be content with their surroundings in order to perform at their best. He went on: ‘The most important thing for any footballer is what goes on between the ears and people tend to forget that. ‘Do you want to go away for six weeks with other players you are not comfortable with and who are maybe showing you a lack of respect? ‘In my case it was the principle of working with people who questioned me and I said “I’m not putting up with it” — simple as that. ‘It chipped away at me. People say “Go with the flow” but you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish. ‘A player’s mindset is sometimes more important than winning the World Cup. You might think that’s crazy but if a player is not happy I would call it a brave decision to pull out.’ Keane is adamant Bridge’s withdrawal will not weaken Fabio Capello’s chances of lifting the famous trophy in South Africa. He added: ‘Let’s not kid ourselves — England are not short of left backs.’ Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/ |
