Definitely genuine. The Sun is a satire-free zone.

A Sun exclusive repeated in places all over the web including Foot.ie, therefore it seems real enough? :rolleyes:
All that has a sort of a news laundry effect on the original dirty item?
After enduring a relentless hounding over a period of 20 years during any one of a hundred controversies and managing to have no comment, Roy Keane's parents are all of a sudden going to break a pattern of a lifetime and open up to The Sun?
Written by a notorious pair named Ann & Barry. Clearly a wind-up.

McCarthy's job without a doubt. Much rather him than MON anyway. Roy Keane......do me a favour.
I'm not sure if you guys are taking the p*ss. You really don't think it's genuine?
As far as I can make out, Ann Mooney is the Irish Sun's southern correspondent. Barry Moran doesn't seem to do spoof pieces either. The Sun just doesn't do irony. I think I'd have to reformulate my outlook on life if they were proven to be attempting satire!
Of course it's genuine. Ann Mooney seems to have some sort of access to Keane's parents - a family friend possibly.

So it was real then?
Surely the answer was in yesterday's 'Irish' Sun.
If anyone was daft enough to buy it...
She's the one who revealed in an exclusive that Roy sends them £1,000 every week or month. I 'd say she just scoops up gossip, scours dustbins etc. i.e. if they use dustbins in Cork.
Any word on him for the Celtic job? Must be one of the favourites.
It would be an ideal job for him, even he couldn't f**k that one up. I think I could manage Celtic to a title myself next season. If it was a choice between Brian Laudrup and Roy I know who I'd pick. I don't know what Roy has done in managment to make him 'one of the favourites'????
Winning the SPL is taken for granted but qualifying for the CL and getting to the last 16 would be the target.
Atm, Roy has little or no necessary tactical acumen to guide a club through the CL and why would Celtic take that risk?
Then, if Roy's getting an unbelievable salary of Eur700k p/a for sitting 3 seats away from MON and still able to hold onto his pundit gig, Celtic would have to offer him a fortune to manager their club and they can do much better for half the price.
I can't see the Celtic board paying for a new manager. They'll end up appointing someone from the dole queue.
Even being wealthy I cant see why he would want to live in glasgow. I thought it was glascow until the auto correct just corrected me. Anyway I would not want to live there.
Re the Celtic manager appointment, Roy's status today has been reduced from raging hot favourite to just a person of interest.
Perhaps Desmond just wanted a powwow.
Celtic said yesterday they were talking to a few people and O'Neill suggested they perhaps weren't as dead-set on Roy as had been made out.
He was not commentating on the England match, too busy packing his bags I expect.
