Roy’s Return to Management In Our Most Personal Episode Yet! | Stick to Football EP 156

Roy Keane sounds content with life outside the dugout. That does not mean he has stopped picturing himself back in it.

"I feel, I don't know if it's an ego thing, I should be a manager somewhere. I still feel like I could have been a really good manager," he tells Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Jill Scott in the latest Stick to Football, which has drawn close to 780,000 views since yesterday.

The title talks of a return to management, but this is reflection, not a job announcement. Keane looks back on Sunderland, whom he led to the Championship title in his first season, and on Ipswich Town, and says he enjoys where he is now in the media.

The route to that admission is unusually domestic. A segment called "2v2" asks each of them to name one thing they do well and one they do badly, moving from partners and diet to playing careers and retirement. Scott opens with the news that she is getting married, and the table turns to Keane for marriage advice. His verdict on the hardest year: "The hardest one is the year you're in." Neville admits he could be "more present" at home. Keane is less earnest: "I hate listening."

The comments came in more than three times faster than on the channel's usual first day, and most of them are about Keane's one-liners. Several viewers point to a Friends reference, and many take up the management question, reminding others of that Sunderland promotion.

There is substance beneath the teasing. Neville says he took on too many business and media projects after retiring. Wright recalls being unhappy in entertainment television, the world of his old ITV chat show, before coming back to football punditry. Keane says he found instant closure when he stopped playing.

The episode is sponsored by Disney+, and Jamie Carragher joins for a promotional debate tied to its series Rivals. Later, captaincy turns out to be less about speeches than tickets: Neville, who succeeded Keane with the Manchester United armband, says he is "a million miles" from Keane as a leader, and Keane remembers being on the phone to the ticket office at five to three.
