FORMER ASTON VILLA assistant boss Roy Keane is not overly impressed with current manager Tim Sherwood, judging by his latest comments.
In an updated version of his autobiography to be released later this month, Keane suggests Sherwood was eyeing up Paul Lambert’s job long before the former Spurs coach was installed in the position.
Keane recalls: “I went to watch Villa against Bournemouth in the FA Cup a few weeks before Paul was sacked and Tim Sherwood was sitting behind me. I just thought, ‘All right…’”

While refusing to deride Sherwood as a result, Keane claims he would never consider emulating this behaviour.
“Some men go to matches if they think there’s a job there for them. I believe Tim had been at two or three games.
“It’s not a criticism of Tim. It’s part of the game, it’s the industry we’re in.
“I’d go the other way myself. If I thought the manager was under pressure and I was somehow being linked to the job, I’d avoid the place.”
Keane also had some less-than-kind words to say about Villa striker Christian Benteke, writing:
“He wasn’t one for scoring many goals in training. With all the top strikers I’d worked with, the top ones always loved scoring in training.”
