In what can only be described as a amazing choice by a club known for choosing "Gentlemen" as their club manager, Roy Keane is their prefered choice on a 2 year contract.

I am very suprized at this move - the club has no money - poor squad - n just won the East Anglian Derby v Norwich (I have a house up in Norfolk - Its a big derby trust me )

Its going to be very interesting what happens n I think someone should run a swindle on how many months he lasts.

Maybe it will just about shake up a club that could be in need of some shaking up.

A once Premier League side, somewhat losing their way in recent times.

I understand there is some money available at Ipswich and the previous manager achieved very little given his resources.

Keane took Sunderland from almost nothing to practically everything in less than a season...perhaps a gamble worth taking for a club with a bit of ambition.

The worst that can happen, is he fails and gets sacked. And he wouldnt be the first.

It is possible that Keane is able to get the most out of Championship level players and get a team in the Championship into the Premier, but is not able to get average Premier level players to raise their game. Mick McCarthy is another one, he's got Wolves back into the Premier, but he's never been that successful at the Premier level. Neil Warnock is similar. Maybe a team like Ipswich is Keane's level, the players may been in awe of him another to push their limits. I never thought he would be back but who knows, may be worth a shot for Ipswich, they have nothing to lose.

Apparently he has 25 million to spend..

He's already been having a dig at others Sparky, Bruce and Co..
