When the line is used about glass houses it usually refers to some hypocrisy.
In the matter of what Cas criticises Keane about, there is no evident hypocrisy.
We all know Cas is not a quitter.
Cas has thrown in an anecdote into his football column which may reflect negatively on his subject but done to support his point.
The anecdote supports his analysis of Keane the bully. The location of a public toilet certainly has shock horror appeal, a man should be left in peace during his vulnerable moments. I'd hope Keane allowed Cas to finish the business and waited until he was putting a few finishing touches to his hair.
Cas's point covers a good part of Keane's belligerent approach to getting his way.
If you don't know these character types then it won't make much sense to you.
If you don't agree with these bullies then they regard you are against them.
Everything is personal. Keane's attitude to his fellow pro's is a case in point, like Schmeichel who wasn't one to be intimidated.
In amongst his complex contradictions, Keane is a bully.
It is a sizable part of his persona.
Keane has been well paid for his Sunderland stint. He had some hits but overwhelmed by all the misses.
He had the support of his employees, he refused to sign a 2 year contract, some call that integrity. I'd agree with Cas, the evidence more points that Keane is a quitter.
Evidently a quitter, but one who likes to lay the blame elsewhere. He publicly lambasted his players for, among other things, not wanting to live in the north east yet not living there himself. He denigrated all around him in Saipan because they did'nt side with him.
We are then meant to muse on his press briefings as if they are the utterings of some enlightened intellectual we can learn from, as Dunphy and his cohorts regularily chortle. Anything to sell a book and attempt to appeal to a more discerning audience. What a joke! Like it or not they are cut from the same cloth.
But then this type of conduct appeals to a certain type of person. As they say that's life!
