Keane confirmed as Ipswich boss

[Lee]

Up on the BBC.

Surprised we never went for him.

Surprised - QPR want a first team coach, not a manager.

[vblockranger]

maybe we did and he chose Ipswich rather than come to the circus that is QPR where he knows he will have board interference and if instant success isnt achieved he would get the sack.......lol cant blame him. Just wonder which "YES" man man we gonna end up with. Will it be Luigi, the fan friendly Mr Nice Guy that a few on here love cos he went for a beer with them? would be a mistake imo but wouldnt be surprised

[Gtleighsr3]

My sauces tell me we are after Ronald McDonald

[paulmason]

Just another reason why a massive % of current ST holders will not renew, which will have an affect on the manager we eventually get, as the amount of money available to spend will be £0 and players / other staff will have to go as well.

[Morris]

Wouldnt want Keane, £5m on Chopra, £2m on Stokes etc etc.

No thanks.

Was he is charge of signings? Not 100% as Quinn worked with him on them.

Has he got a team out of this league? Yes
Has he managed a team to Premiership survival? Yes

[paulmason]

Morris - Agree with Keane but what other proven manager would want to come to W12 to be told 1: What players he can have and 2: What formation to play them in ?

Dowie got a team out of this league, and look how long he lasted.

And look how long the other managers under our board lasted.
