Shy Sport have just anounced it although there has been no anouncement from the club yet. They say it will be announced tomorrow.

Wolves V Ipswitch - tasty

**Rory H** · 22/04/2009, 8:19 PM

Ipswich are Irish now so......the eh Tractor Boys

**Mr A** · 22/04/2009, 8:19 PM

Hopefully he'll crash and burn.

**Red&White Rover** · 22/04/2009, 8:20 PM

Ah I think it'll be different this time with no Irish investors (that I know of/yet!) and no Irish chairman.

Anyway, Keaneis a god to a lot of people, yeah, and if they want to follow him in such a way I say let them at it. Who cares at the end of the day?

**NeilMcD** · 22/04/2009, 9:13 PM

anyone know if I can fly near ipswich with ryanair.

Come on the Tractor Boys.

**KR's Post** · 22/04/2009, 9:23 PM

Shock move. Only Keane can make these headlines. Amazing stuff really. I think it's a bad move in fairness. Won't be as much money to spend as Sunderland gave him so he'll have his work cut out. Gurantee Alex Bruce is sold this summer!

**MariborKev** · 22/04/2009, 9:28 PM

Can someone price me a "Keane 32" jersey which is bit Ireland, bit Celtic and bit Ipswich?

I am willing to trade my half Oireland half United jersey plus cash in return.....

**cheifo** · 22/04/2009, 9:29 PM

Think I remember reading that he is Owen Garvans hero so hopefully he can have a positive impact in that regard.

Nice Club.Always played good football but Keane will have to do better in the transfer market.

**Predator** · 22/04/2009, 9:32 PM

He hasn't actually signed yet has he? Ipswich have a decent history. If Keane does take over however, he's replacing another Irishman, so I don't see the fuss. Having said that, I'm a big fan of Keane.

I remember Roy championing Liam Miller at one point, saying he should be in the Irish squad (during the Staunton era), so I wouldn't be too sure of that!

**Angus** · 22/04/2009, 9:36 PM

Let's kick it off - I always liked Keane since he did the patriotic thing in Saipan - go Tractor Boys

**amaccann** · 22/04/2009, 9:38 PM

I think it's the move Keane should have made in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt Ipswich are swimming in money & cutting his managerial teeth in a club that isn't run by some celtic-tiger era businessmen as a pet project can only be good for Keane as a manager.

He had time enough to cut his teeth at Sunderland. Now we'll see if he's actually any good or not.

**dr_peepee** · 22/04/2009, 10:19 PM

Jayzus... Haven't read anything about it other than what's here..

Fair play to him.. I'd have been less impressed had he taken the QPR job. He'll at least shake off the "Cheque book manager" tag.

I think he'll do well. He's a good young manager. What he did at Sunderland still merrits some level respect.

**Dodge** · 22/04/2009, 10:34 PM

16 posts in and nobody has asked for it to be moved to world football? Are you all grown up now?

I don't mind either way about Keane but osme stuff here is hilarious. Especially this

Oh and for those saying they've only read about it here...
