If its half as good as his portrayal of Clough it will be superb.

Keane's version of events is a good read in his autobiography, he thought the Irish team was run like a pub team, eg 1st training session at World Cup the training kit hadn't arrived (had to wear tracksuits they had for wearing in the hotel in boiling temperatures), the pitches they'd booked were crap, the flights were economy class so had no rest/privacy coz of all the Irish fans being in party mood, etc. TBH that may have been under Jack Charlton, I may have got them mixed up, but he didn't rate either manager and generally couldn't be doing with the lack of professionalism of the Irish, it was all a jolly boys trip and an excuse for a piss up.

Neville Southall said the same about the Wales set up although he didn't care as much, he just wanted to play and train.

Michael Sheen?!

I hope he plays it like his portrayal of Tony Wilson in 24 Hour Party People. So basically Patridge in an Ireland trackie 😃

Heard a lot of stories about the Ireland set up over the years, not surprised there were clashes between people there primarily for the bants and those more interested in results.

Not sure it's enough to make a film out of mind!

Remember celebrating our goal against Everton that would have ensured our survival...and then it wasn't given. Could have done with VAR that day.

VAR would have disallowed it for a foul on the keeper.

I know he can afford it but it’s a fair old investment in them at €22m 

about 25% of his annual wage at RM

How do you get to a situation where it’s between him and Bruce. Bet Ricky G isn’t happy

They should have a Caribbean tournament where each island gets allocated managers of similar ilk. Jamaica v St Kitts becomes McClaren v Bruce. I’m sure Allardyce will be all too keen to take on the Cayman Islands. Matt Le Tissier in charge of Cuba. I’m sure Pardew would be up for it too. Could have it sponsored by a sun cream company.

The 'Proper Football Men' tournament players will be numbered 1-11 wearing black boots only and every team will play 442.
