    2 Who’s in charge?

    “It might seem strange but you find out about characters when you look to see who’s in charge of the music. A young lad might want to put on the latest sound; an older player might say: ‘I’m the senior player’ and put himself in charge. But I noticed none of the players [at Sunderland] were in charge of the music and this was a concern for me. A member of staff was in charge. I was looking at him thinking: ‘I hope someone nails him here.’ The last song before the players went on to the pitch was ‘Dancing Queen’ by Abba. What really worried me was that none of the players – not one – said: ‘Get that * off.’ They were going out to play a match, men versus men, testosterone levels were high. You’ve got to hit people at pace. *’ ‘Dancing Queen.’ It worried me. I didn’t have as many leaders as I thought.”

    Gutted he didn't become manager he. * cheap *.

    He'll become a great as a manager, it's only a matter of time. I can't wait, either, given the flack he gets from the whiners (like on here).

    Right he said we were basically cheapskates and were too restrictive when offering him the role for manager. He said we did the same when he played for us - eh? He was on the best part of £45k a week and was well past it, contributing * all. What was he wanting? Back then that was a * of a lot of doe aswell. Jesus the man is full of *.

    If we were not being cheapskates then we could definitely have approached a higher quality candidate than Keane. if he is worth a decent offer than why have no other team offered him the managers job. He may have been successful as a player but he is at best a 2nd class manager.

    Didn't get the impression that the restrictions he was talkimg about were the wages to be honest.

    And I'll say that £45k a week was earned in the Ibrox 1-0 game, him and Lenny strolled it :56:

    I say they told him the transfer budget, and that killed the deal.

    I think there was more than Keane knocked it back as well, for similar reasons. It is more than likely why Lennon left also. He had ambitions that exceeded the current board.

    1 Welcome to *

    “My first game [for Celtic] was Clyde, away, in the third round of the Scottish Cup. We were beaten 2-1. It was a nightmare. I wasn’t happy with my own game. I did OK, but OK wasn’t good enough. After the game – the disappointment. As I was taking my jersey off, I noticed the Nike tag was still on it. When I got on the bus John Hartson, a really good guy, was already sitting there and he was eating a packet of crisps – with a fizzy drink. I said to myself: ‘Welcome to *.’”

    weer doomed !!!!!!!!!

    They only bits of read from him are on here but does cracker have a good word to say about anyone. He seems to think there's Roy Keane and those who choose to be in his presence.
