ROY KEANE, WHO has recently stated his intentions to return to management in the future, has joined Sky Sports’ punditry team for the Premier League season.
The former Manchester United and Ireland midfielder has appeared on Sky Sports’ top-flight coverage before, but has now signed up to be a full-time analyst with the broadcaster.
Keane, who has been out of a job since leaving his role as Martin O’Neill’s assistant at Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, will be part of Sky Sports’ Premier League double-header on Sunday as Man United travel to West Ham and Chelsea host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
“I’ve worked with Sky Sports quite a few times over the years and it’s always been an experience I’ve enjoyed, so this makes absolute sense,” Keane said.
“While I’m not coaching I still want to be involved in the game and in some ways, this is the next best thing.
“It’s a game of opinions, I’ve never shied away from giving mine and that’s only going to continue this season. Sky Sports has always been famous for the heated debates — I look forward to starting a few more.”

Jose, souness and Roy could be extremely good, and Gary afraid to say Boo to them all
Comedy gold
Can’t stand the guy. he’ll be entertaining some are saying here. That’s fine if you like your analysis by an angry ignorant trumpesqe loud mouth.
@Kevin: Ya we do
@Kevin: Oh you mean someone who says it as it is and not afraid to do so
@Kevin: say wah?
@Scott Stonebridge: I wonder will he come up with any tactical analysis or will it be just the usual give it 100%, get stuck in,just run around Gary sort of analysis
@Scott Stonebridge: listen to his article about jon walters then we’ll see how you feel
@Scott Stonebridge: Says it kind he thinks it is more like. I’m expecting little in the way of tactical analysis and tons of meaningless platitudes about getting stuck in and “character” etc. He’d be better suited for a Talksport phone-in show.
@Kevin: is that you Mr.Walters?
@Scott Stonebridge: No just a fool and a mouthpiece who says stuff for the sake of being controversial.
@Kevin: far better than a load of vanilla experts saying nothing.
@Peter Govan: Liverpool fan ?? Lmao
He’s a bit of an arse but he’s box office all the same
It should be good with keano and Jose on sky this after roy said he would never be a sky pundit
@Daragh Hackett: ya, was it not ITV he was saying he’d be loyal to?!
@Bruce Van der Gutschmitzer: in fairness if he stuck solely to ITV in this respect he’d be working about 4 days a year unless they wheeled him out for the rugby or the darts
Brilliant at last someone not afraid to speak his mind and offend people now and again, not like the rest of the ‘yes men’ pundits.
Sky got Roy Keane Jamsie O’Connor & joe Cannings brother all on the payroll…
Thank god I don’t have sky. No time for him since he let us down in Saipan
@Paul Dooley: You still on about that???
Can’t wait until he calls Neville a Langer on live tv
@stephen darling: that’ll be fine, on that side of the pond they think langer is a German golfer.
@stephen darling: Yeah, that will be really really hilarious (if you are from Cork.)
Security will be interesting for sky
