Abacus Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The reaction does seem deranged, but I'd been wondering why they were so desperate to hark back to Keane in the first place. My theory is that they've been ignored for so long that they are desperate for any tiny bit of attention. They thought Defoe would bring that, but no-one cares. They also REALLY took against Downie saying they weren't newsworthy, and this seems to be the barb that stings them most. So when Keane was asked about whether he'd take the job on TV, whilst commentating on another game a week or so ago, there was little short of jubilation. "Mentioned on prime time Friday night telly, marra! That'll show Downie and all the mags we're not irrelevant no matter what they say!" was the gist of it. Forgetting the fact that it's Keane who was the story, not them. No neutral could name their last 3 managers, for example. And that "story", which is still more important than them anyway, amounted to some light hearted joshing with a fellow TV pundit and an ex-managerial failure.

Their new fantastic owner who's just recently stopped growing pubes "KLD" - "is finished here now" according to one poster. Loads saying "I'm done". Arguing and infighting and ITKs being outed as bullshitters. Surely not, I'm sure not long ago they convinced themselves that they'd rather be owned by KLD and his "billions" and keep their "classy morals" instead of our bloody money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I would’ve been surprised if Keane went back to that shit show, he was just sniffing around to see how much the new owner will spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I guess it's his reputation more than anything. Obviously a fantastic player, and now one of the more prominent pundits - if they can get him back into football, especially into League One, then it would kind of generally be considered a coup, and bring a bit more relevance to them in their predicament.

gbandit Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Feel for them like, imagine if we were languishing in league one and they’d just become the richest club in the world and looked like they were odds on to stay up after seemingly being nailed on for relegation. Anyone who keeps supporting them deserves both respect and pity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Bit annoying in a way as it would’ve been hilarious and getting an actual manager rather than a TV caricature is probably a better long term strategy.

Chicken Dancer Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The best quote I've seen on RTG in a long time Quote 'I think this needs to be addressed. The thinking that he is a dinosaur, a hothead, a loose canon, is predominantly based on his playing days, and yes, back then, was probably correct. He is 50 years old now, and has matured, both in his outlook, and his tactical ability and knowledge of the game. People change with age. I joined the forces because if I hadn't I would probably have done time. Even in the Navy, I was permanently in the shit. Ffs, I hoyed a taxi driver into the water in Plymouth dockyard once, because he had no change for a tenner' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
