More often than not great players don’t go on become great managers, it seem that its often the really average midfielder or defender who rises to the top of the management game, its almost as if they knew what they wanted to do as a player but couldn’t do it with their feet but were able to put it into words for others. There are of course exceptions and increasingly now days you don’t get a second look if you didn’t make it as a player.
So we come to Roy Keane whose pedigree as a player can’t be argued about. Having just been appointed manager of Sunderland everyone has begun to wonder what sort of a manager he will make.
Keane has as good as admitted that he will need to be a bit more subtle. For good reason too, the fact is that you just can’t shout at your squad for the entire season as the shock value losses its effect and players end up ignoring the person doing the shouting. So it looks like Keane will have to mellow a little.
I have to admit that I have no idea how this one is going to go but feel that he will that to it like a duck to water or after a positive start, crash and burn.
I hope for the Sunderland fans it works out as surely they suffered enough last season.
