Love to see Roy Keane manage again and Amazon Do a behind the scenes piece with his team like they did with Spurs and Leeds 👏

Roy's style of management is too old school for the modern day game

There's also a story of a player, Brian Lenihan, who Keano was seriously supportive of after Lenihan attempted suicide. Visited him in hospital, invited him for dinner, and more. He also does a lot of work for the Guide dogs charity here in Ireland which he is an ambassador for. I'm just saying don't think there's only one side to his personality. He's not a psychopath.

He took Sunderland from 23rd to 1st in a matter of weeks,winning the Championship title and Manager of the Year in his first year of management. Look at where Sunderland are now....

"Did it make you play better the next time around?" Did it fuck.

sounds like roy doing his job.

I can only imagine the look on Keane's face walking into the changing room and seeing them doing yoga. I imagine a mixture of contempt and bemusement.

That's awesome. I'd pay to see that rant if someone filmed it.

To be fair Roy has a point. How can pro footballers not pass from there to there over short distance? These players are paid a fortune to to their job. Roy is right.

When he first went to Sunderland he grabbed them by the scruff and marched them from relegation places to title winners. As a Wednesday fan I was jealous we didn't have him.

It’s simple, he had standards that he thought that that team was capable of achieving. They didn’t. And there is a the whole different era. Players back then had the mindset that they should be grateful to have this opportunity and that they need to put their “lives” on the line. Now players have realized that they are the sport, they create the money and they need to put themselves first.

😂😂😂😂 he would just lose it , I fucking love Keane

Brilliant Darren.. that is a quality story!!

Darren Bent is a great narrator

My guess is that Roy has that problem that a lot of perfectionistic types do as managers: they're not able to prioritize and progress. Good managers recognize you can't fix the entire organization in a day, and that not all your charges are going to be superstars. You have to get a little better each day, recognizing progress will always be gradual, while still holding a high standard. I think it was Bill Walsh who said, "If you emphasize everything, you emphasize nothing." Anecdotes like this suggest to me Roy couldn't see the trees for the forest. He's not the type to say, "Right, that's not where we want it, but we've got more pressing needs here -- let's work on this this week." All easier said than done from a computer keyboard, I agree, but I challenge you to imagine Roy Keane saying something like that to his backroom staff. It's easy as a player and a captain to be all-or-nothing, but as a manager or coach, you have to be more balanced and surgical with your approach.

Brian Clough once punched him in the face when Keane played under him, totally different world

I wish all Ex players were as honest as Roy is, Rednapp is clueless and as for Richards.....god give me strength!!!

I'd love to see a season long doc of Roy Keane managing a prem team. Preferably a banter club like Arsenal, Spurs or Everton

Id have him at Saints. People say he is old skool but I think he is more adaptable than people think. Also give him time to bring in winners and fighters to what ever club he is at and he will get results.

That was a excellent story from Bent. Roy is such a character lol

Corners as well.i can't understand how professional footballers can't take a corner.the amount of players that can't clear the first defender or over hit it is incredible to me.

Darren Bent is a funny guy, I enjoy him on Talksport as he is pretty daft really.

Brian Clough and Sir Alex would leave an impression on any man

Proper player

If Keane ever learned to manage his temper. Just even a little bit. He would have been a top manager. On paper. He has everything a successful manager needs. He just can't stop himself from wanting to chin every player thats ever played for him.

Never change Keano 🇮🇪

I think we dont all get roy but we see the good through the mist.Roy is good.

Roy was far from perfect but he was a top player because he had albity and desire to win and cared

Football wouldn’t be the same without Roy Keane 😂😂

Superb fae roy. That's the Way it should be

Classic keano!

Can't wait for Keane to become Man United next manager.

And that’s why Roy Keane was one of the midfielders in the world for over a decade while Darren Bent only won a league cup.

I agree players nowadays are pampered u can't say boo to them they class that as bullying. Back in the day of Keane n viera etc all those fantastic players that era . Now players are so disconnected to the fans etc . U can't tell a player he did this or that wrong in a game u can't give a rollicking anymore. That might be considered bullying . Sighs

Even though talks about "modern day football" comes in...there are managers that goes nuts...but there's a fine line where to be strict and where not to, Keane seems to be the same 24/7....He was a great leader on the pitch as a player but Pundit commentary is the place for him.

Darren who? But he's right, I'm surprised Roy never once ran out on the pitch himself to cross the ball into the box out of frustration. Nerves of steel.

Love Roy, but he's just way too hardcore to be a manager. Even Fergie has a lighter side.

Keane is well known and respected all over the footballing world, whereas Darren Bent's not even famous in his own house!

Not a player I ever liked....but you would always have wanted him in your own team for sure !

Iconic 😂😂😂 yoga

He is right.. There are guy earning a fortune with big clubs and you will often hear commentators say things like, "it was on his weaker leg", or "he wasn't expecting the keeper to fumble it..." or "that was a poor cross." At this level and earning the kind of money they are on, no top pro player should have a "weaker" leg and all should be able to cross or pass a ball accurately.

They won the next 5 games on the bounce 😊

I was at that game. Villa were shocking.

Ask Damien Delanley and Harry Arter their changing room encounters with Roy.

I remember this game Charlie Austin scored a couple.they deserved a bollocking cos they were fookin shite that night

In Roy’s book he’s very complimentary of Bent, didn’t get why he was put out to grass by lambert at villa

Roy Keane the last of his breed

That’s why he’s not a manager anymore.

And that’s why he’s a better pundit than manager.

I wonder if Darren Bent is one of the players Keane was talking about on the Overlap recently.

Aston Villa won their next match 3-0 at home against Wigan.

Roys old school brought up with YTS wages. Not like the silverspooned contracts 16 year olds get today. Modern players are for wages the old schoolers were for trophys.

RK played under some of the best managers ever BC/ AF and played alongside the best, why is it wrong to suggest what he says / said n done etc was wrong ?

He’s learnt from the best Brian clough

Fuckin’ Yaffle!

Players of today need to man up. Real players play through injuries suarez played while needing knee surgery then played 2weeks later against England in World Cup and scored, then you guy Sunderland player out for ages with shin splints

Roy Keane to Tottenham confirmed.

There are 3 ways as a manager/coach you deal with a display that makes you that angry. You quit, you bottle it up and hope to sort it out at training, you rip into every single player.... 👀

Fun fact: Darren bent viewed my childhood home when considering a new house but he didn’t buy it :(

His wife once forgot to put the bins out the night before, he told her to get out there like your life depends on it

Shoulda asked him how his celtic playing days went

Oh stop typical Roy its hard to settle for second when you dominated the league and Europe

Keane was a great player ...... But Unfortunately he's got no people or man management skills .. he should stick to punditry .. coz he will never cut it in management as his stints with Sunderland , Ipswich and Ireland show

Roy Keane respected Brian Clough for punching him after a bad back pass... he's not cut out for the millionaire cotton wool wrapped from a young age footballer. Great pundit anyway so hope he sticks to that

Why are people intomidated by Roy Keane, he's an old man that played football, he used to tackle people hard and gives people mucky looks, ooh scary. People act like he's Mike Tyson. Gtfo.

Bent: "Roy would shout at us when we could not pass the ball from there to there" Keane: "But that's your job...!" One of the times its actually true and makes sense lol

he wasn't the manager at Villa

This highlights the degeneration of the masculine and the rise in the emasculation of man

Exactly what the prima donnas of Celtic FC need immediately

I’d make a bet that Aiden Keane doesn’t become a pro footballer or anything that he feels is good enough to impress his dad. Nothings ever good enough for Roy Keane and he will pay for it soon

In fairness it’s not like Darren bent was garbage!

Wrexham??

Nobody can learn from a 2 hour soliloquy.

Proof that the best managers were average players. Zidane wasn't a great manager, he was lucky to have peak CR7.

No wonder he was a terrible manager, I would just think what a prick. All these guys saying he was “too old school” imagine having a manager like that at your job

Roy Kean was not a Top player,Top Captain but not a top player.

Villa were awful at this time, Lambert was terrible he got Keane in and was sacked a few months months later

Players are too protected & fussed over in today’s game.They live in a little bubble.Average players in premier league becoming millionaires overnight quite happy to never strive to reach the top level picking up 40/50k a week.Roy Keane won league titles,played in champions league against the very elite..the golden age of football.I like Darren Bent but he ended up a journeyman topping up his retirement fund.

Of course, Roy Keane was a quality player yet in my personal opinion - a top manager too. By some distance, the best we’ve ever had at Sunderland...x

He's still like this as a pundit. If a team isn't top of the league its all "shocking", "not good enough". He can't quite grasp that not every team is Man United 1999 treble winners. He also can't grasp that football changes and seems to be in disbelief that Man United and Arsenal aren't the same dominant squads full of leaders and rivalries like it was back in 1998 - 2002... Its just cringy the moaning he does. There's 20 teams in the league they can't all play like champions. It's also much more competitive these days, the league title has changed hands 5 times over the last 6 years. Gone are the days of Liverpool or United winning 8 out of 10 titles... He needs to accept this!

Keane never managed villa?!?

Everyone on here thinks this style of management’s so amazing. “Oh what a leader he is. Players are all soft.” Pfft please, if you were a player being managed by Roy you’d hand in your transfer request the next day. No wonder no one’s offering a job atm. He’d just be blowing his top off each day saying the words “desire and character” on repeat.”

No more fooooookin yoga!!!!!

Modern footballers have no values..driving about in Ferraris at 17. Keane was on 25 quid a week YTS..but it taught him.values, and kept his feet on the ground..modern players are posers.

I think Roy is on the spectrum. Dont mean it in a bad way. Obsessive, black and white thinking, particularly morality. Introverted. No understanding of people or social stuff.

Keane can't take the blame for his own mistakes so he looks for scapegoats.

The blokes a complete nutter- Shouldn't be anywhere near management

People laugh and say yehhhh good old Roy but this is shite management at its finest. Not being able to understand others are different. I mean that says it all. He couldn’t understand how? He’s paid as manager to understand how. No good me arriving at a job and saying “I don’t understand what’s going on here!!!” Well sling it then and we will get someone who does. People stop paying attention after 10 mins so to go on for 2 hrs is just poor poor and wont work. Yes a bit of motivational steel has its place but this is nonsense sort of bully boy shite. It’s why he failed as a manager and always saw players as letting the manager down or throwing them under the bus.

THATS WHY KEANE WAS WORLD CLASS AND BENT WAS A JOURNEYMAN . PATHETIC !

I can understand that Roy is a very passionate person, but to be honest part of me just thinks that he likes the sound of his own voice. However, I guess that you are better off with a manager who let's you know where exactly it is you stand with him.

Anyone in this comment section a pro? played at international level? yet man in hear chatting about "football is too this" and "football is too that" ...you lot don't know shit. On the outside looking in thinking you know everything about the financials and the psychology. "football was better when...blah blah" We can only really make quantified comments about the following ...is football more or less entertaining than it was? and the cost to fans on a monetary, and interaction between fan and club. Proclaiming players as soft or whatever, hands up here in the comments section ...who here has sacrificed their free time and paid time from the age of 10 in a high risk career where there is a 95% chance of failing by the time you are 20 and then having to get on the same rat race as everyone else 5-10 years too late? ...none I would suspect. Look you can have and express an opinion....but it is bollocks, because it's based on nothing but headlines. Footballers are soft these days...hmm maybe, maybe not...but people are definitely fucking stupid

I think people are missing something here - Paul Lambert. He was the manager, not Keane. Bent says Lambert stepped to the side and allowed Keane to go off on the players. That tells me that Keane did exactly what Lambert wanted him to do. Either that or Lambert was an incredibly weak manager.

Great player. Useless man manager

He'll never be a good manager. Bent nailed it at the beginning. He just can't compute players not being as good as his United team. That right there is why he'll never be a good manager. A good manager would be able to manage a kids team or a shit Sunday league team. Roy couldn't. Probably the ONLY team he would have managed well was his own United team lol

Is it just me ... Or if your earning over a million a year ... Is he asking too much ??? .... Try working a 40hr week for a living .... END .

Roy going over the top per usual...he admits he goes over the top... players in todays market to not respond well to that type of shit...them days are gone and the sooner the better we all see that

I'm not a footballer nor any kind of professional sportsman, though I almost made it in British Basketball, but if I had got to that level I would not take someone shouting at me over a period of time. A few one offs, OK, but consistently shouting, no.

This is why he is a disastrously bad manager, his own arrogance is a barrier to his ability to relate to others

But keane was average anyway how the hell he got scouted amazes me . Nothing above average apart from pass completion maybe

I love Keane and not that Bent's version isn't believable and I don't know the full story of what happened but why didn't anyone challenge or respond to Keane's rant, they are modern day footballers it's different to when Keane played the game in the 90s. If anything Keane would respect you more if you gave him verbals and defended yourself not just letting him rant on incessantly.
