I wasn't all that surprised when I heard the news, perhaps a bit by the timing. I thought he might pack up & go in January, or definitely in May. The biggest worry now is that there's no-one to dish out the bollockings needed when players fall into comfort zones. Thankfully there's not too many of those players at the club. Ahem.
We were lucky when Robbo left that Keano was there to fill the role perfectly. Thanks to the club not doing the bleedin' obvious over the past few years (finding/grooming Keane's successor) we're fucked this time round.
There's not many footballers around today who think & feel the same as the fans. Even less that are prepared to say what they think or feel. Thanks for 12 great years Keano.
