Aiden McGeady appeared on Sky Sports this afternoon and discussed the rumours about his former teammate, Roy Keane, being interviewed for our vacant manager’s job. In typical Sky fashion, they demonstrated their incompetence in reporting on any teams outside of Premier League by addressing Sunderland as McGeady’s ‘former club’. Nevertheless, the injured winger claimed that having Keane back would give the fans the same boost as Defoe’s return has.
RUMOURS
'I've seen the rumours of Roy Keane being interviewed for the job. I've played with Roy. I've known him for a long time. I played with him at Celtic and he was obviously my coach for the last five or six years when I was away with Ireland under Martin O'Neill'
BOOST
'So I know him well. He's got a lot of fans and he's still held in high regard by the fans here. It's not my job to comment on speculation and whether he's the man for the job or not.I think that will be down to the board and the hierarchy at the club. But I think if he was to get the job, it gives the fans a big boost, similar to the signing of Jermain’
DEFOE
‘(On Defoe’s signing) That was a massive coup by the club, he still knows where the goal is, you see the lift the whole club got from him coming in, even just around the place the last couple of days’
