BBC Reporter : Thanks for joining us today for our live coverage of a press confrence called by Roy Keane the current assistant manager for the Republic of Ireland, there have been rumours flying around the football world and today in the press that Keane is expected to state his intent to rejoin the day to day runnings of a football club.
BBC Reporter: Ok here comes Keane now lets see what the man has to say.
Roy Keane: Ok id like to thank you all for coming here today, i would also like to thank the FAI for this opportunity aswell as for organising all this. So the reason i have called this meeting is that ive decided to delve back into club managment, helping martin out with the international team really has gave me a taste of things again and i feel after 2 years out ive gotten a fresh perspective and that im rejuvinated
Reporter Shouts out "Who are you going to manage"
Keane's face turns to stone and he eyeballs the reporter " sorry is this yer first day on the job? are you seriously going to interupt me in the middle of talking and expect me to give you my answer lack some kind of dog jumping for its owner, you interuppt me again and it wont be a security guard dragging you out it'll be me"
BBC Reporter : Keane certainly doesnt seem like hes lost his bark or his bite, always great for a press confrence and were all hanging on every word he says.
Keane Continues : As i was saying before i was rudely interupted by work experience boy, i feel now that ive got a greater understanding of the game and a greater respect for the game and i think one of the things i struggled with was not being able to understand why players werent able to play at the same level i did and understanding not every lad is going to be of the level i was used to and expected whilst at manchester, so i think working with Martin has really helped me realise that and his man managment is right up there a similar level to clough, So i think because of this im now a better manager.
Keane takes a sip of water before sitting back now a bit more relaxed and assured in his posture :
So to put all your questions to rest i have decided to accept the post of manager at West Brom. There will be no Questions until my first official press confrence with the baggies, good luck.

Sky Reporter : Today you join us at the hawthorns where Roy Keane has called a press confrence and we believe its about transfer targets.
Roy Keane : Ok, so ive spent 2 weeks on the training ground with the squad and im shocked honestly shocked how they finished so well last year, ive told the players this myself that in certainly certain positions were just not at the standard of the premier league, the premier league is the most physica land fast paced league in the world and my back line is of the oldest and slowest in the league.
i need to be able to build my team from the back up and i cant do that at the minute because the defence is experienced but thats a word reporters use instead of calling them what they are, old.
I cant even get a decent amount of money because of their age and noone wants them.
I then have 2 very good centre midfielders who both want out of the club in yousouf mulumbu and claudio yacob, so i have to try and replace one if not both of them.
Then i have some very good attacking, technical and skillful midfielders but i dont have any out and out wingers or much pace in there.
Then up front instead of having 2 world class forwards i have 5 decent strikers, so for me im looking to improve all over the pitch.
Im looking at certain players and i wont be afraid to name them, i want:
Alvarez Balanta, Ji Dong Won, Mohamed Diame, Jordan Rhodes, Marcos Rojo, Eric Dier, Danny Bath, Eric Soares, Ben Davies
Now obviously i cant get all these players but im going to make a go of it.
thanks for your time

BREAKING NEWS!!!! -------- Roy Keane has left job at West Brom by "Mutual Consent" more to follow
Today West Brom representitives have announced that no more than 2 weeks into his first club job in football that roy keane has left the club by mutual consent, although there has been no official line from the club we believe it to be in relation to Keanes quite public scrutiny of the clubs players and his frustration at the lack of investment he was allowed to make.
Heres what Keane had to say on the matter:
Roy Keane : Why did i leave? by what?? Mutual consent, there was nothing mutual about it i quit!!. Why did i Quit? ill tell you why, the club was full of over payed, under skilled, old players. We had players of 33/34 who were on wages of united players, 50/60 grand a week for an over the hills striker? is this club serious, there is no way in hell they will ever be able to improve. Then when i brought this to the boards attention it was my problem and said i would have to sell the players. So what am i to do? sell 10 players to drum up what 20 million for myself? to spend on 4 or 5 players if i want to buy high quality players? Then ive a deplited and small squad that needs time to gel and will probably get hampered by injuries. This club is in a state and i am not going to be the one blamed for its collapse.
I dont know whats next but i will never deal with this club again.

Today has seen the unveiling of the picture above outside of Old Trafford. This has been seen as a massive gesture of defience from the owners towards Alex Ferguson. Ferguson who has famously fallen out with his former captain has made it well known that he does not respect keane in any professional or personal matter.
The Poster has been unveiled ahead of a press confrence to be called by the owners today, where we will cross to now.
" Today many of you will have seen the unveiling of the Roy keane LEgends poster outside of the stadium this is due to the club finally showing and paying the respect that a great former captain and player deserves, To follow up on that Alex ferguson is also no way tied professionally to the club and will not be involved in any of the clubs day to day runnings."
" We also have another statement to make which is that David Moyes has stepped down as Manager due to personal reasons of which he will have his own confrence when he is ready, this has left the club shocked and in a stage of uncertainty and we would like to announce that on a 6 month contract whilst we search for a permanent manager Roy Keane will now take over the position as Manager for the club. That is all"

Transfers:
As you can see below we didnt sell anyone this season, i decided that too have a trulely succcessful season i needed a big enough squad to sustain a full league campaign aswell as three different cup competitions. And i brought in players to not only stregnthen the squad but to come in and well and trulely improve the squad and come in and challenge if not hold down starting positions.
We brought in Koke a player United had been linked with in real life, a young versatile midfielder who had a touch of class going forward, i would play him as a deep lying playmaker beside a ball winning midfielder to allow him the attacking birth that he deserves and the freedom needed to go forward.
Then we brought in an absolute worldy at centre back in Raphael Varane, not only is this lad going to be one of the top centre backs in the league with his potential hes also got Vidic to learn from and will be future club captain.
In January i still had funds available and decided to bring in some future prospects and two absolute smashing players i was able to bring in, Bruno a lad who can play on either wing or across any of the attacking midfield roles. Aswell as this Neal Maupay will become world class striker, capable of scoring easy 20+ goals a season. The same build as rooney and the technique of Van Persie is the perfect blend in physcial prowess and footballing technique.
So onto the season then and What a season it was!!! We Started off by taking the the Charity shield to Manchester in the last pre season game of the summer. We then went on too have an absolutely storming Premier league campaign. We had 23 Clean sheets across the season a collosul amount due to the partnership of Vidic and Varane, Vidic in the end would win player's player of the year award for his performances, De Gea also played brilliantly and dismissed any doubts or worrys i had about his ability. Aswell as the two centre backs rafael was indespensible at right back and one position im going to struggle with is left back, Evra so consistant all season is coming towards the end of his career will need to be replaced by smeone with the same ability going forward aswell as the defensive abilities. We won the league by 6 points but in truth it wasnt that clear, we trailed chelsea right the way through until the last 8 games of the season, with the squad tired and fatifued mentally and physically i thought we had lost our chance but then we started to show that Manchester United ability to win games under pressure. We just continued to win game after game and Chelsea buckled under the pressure, but with investment they could become a big challenge next year.
Then the big one the major trophy, the one everyone dreams off The Champions League. And what a way to win it. We Started off with an easy enough group, with Anderlecht, Atletico Madrid and Olympiakos, i found myself playing a few weakend squads against Anderlecht and Olympiakos, however we still managed to finish top of the group.
The first knockout we then played Real Sociadad, we lost the first leg 2-1 due to a fantasic Vela freekick in the 85th minute however in the home leg we managed to win 3-0 quite comfortably as expected winning 4-2 on aggregate.
We then went on too play Atletico who we previously played in the group stages, the first leg away i conciously set out deffensively as did Athletico which was suprising seing as they were at home, with the first leg finishing 0-0 we had a great opportunity to get through to the Semi's with the home leg. Which we again comfortably won 2-0.
Then the big battle came in the Semi Final's We played Dortmund and they had Lewandowski who finished with 37 goals in all competitions that season, the man who turned us down to join Man City for the big money at the end of the season, and all i can say is im dreading playing against him twice in the coming season, he terrorised our previously rock solid defence and they got two goals comfortably without us really challenging them.
I thought we were done and finished, so for the second leg i scrapped our 4-5-1 and went 4-2-2-2 with two wingers and two out and out strikers out front, we got through the first half at 0-0 at least this was something we could hold on to. then in the 55th minute Van Persie played a great ball over the top too Rooney who ran through on goal and chip the keeper, Finally we broke through and got a goal, 35 minutes to pull something back here then the football gods looked down on me and gave me pity as the keeper shanked his clearance out too the right wing were it fell to Valencia, who this season ha been deadly from range, managed first time to hit the ball into the back of the net from 30 yards out. Then came extra time with both teams fatigued and noone wanting to commit to going forward ended all square without many chances, then came the penalty shooutout and with us only having 2 decen penalty takers on the pitch i was succumbed to failure and defeat, but again De Gea the boy who became a man this seaosn saved a penalty and won us the tie.
Then came the Final and id love to say it was back and forward and we won comfortably but it wasnt, it was boring, i started out defensively set out for the counter attack with my pacey wingers and Rooney prepared to track back at all purposes, but we kept ronaldo and bale quite and to be honest they didnt have a sniff, then late on we won a freekcik after a great break on the right hand side by Valencia, the suprise package of the tournament. Then van persie with his tecnhique and touch of class whipped a brilliant ball into the back stick and Varane, against his former club heads the ball in and we won we won the champions league. What a season.

Transfers:
As you can see we brought in a lot of young players, We brought in James Ward Prowse aswell as Calum Chambers from Southampton, both Future English starters and will both play a big part in the Future of this club.
We then also brought in Ross Barkley a great signing, once again a future lynchpin in the future of this club and england.
Below is a host of future prospects we have at the club, some we brought in but some who were already at the club. Some great attacking Talents here and if only half of them fulfill there potential then we will be in a great place in the future.
Future Starting 11
Below is our Future starting 11, this is the most excited i have been for a squad in any FM save EVER, with this starting 11 and all the future prospects we have above we will be in a great position to continue to grow and dominate world football.

Then The Overhaul began. With too many players coming to the end of their career and not contributing often enough I decided to have a major overhaul and now the starting 11 is enfused with young talent both home grown and the best talent from around europe and the rest of the world.
As you can see what brought in some of the hottest talents in europe, Griezmann a fantastic winger and attacking midfielder to provide genuine width and attacking prowess.
With Van Persie and Hernandez leaving i decided i needed another striker to provide something different that we hadnt had at the club, a strong powerful physical presence in Lukaku who only has his best years ahead of him.
We also let Fellaini and Koke go and replaced them with Marco Veratti and Lucas Romero, some of the hottest young talents in european football, Koke never really worked out and didnt really manage to hold down a position in the starting 11, Veratti will bring a ton of technique and passing ability
The Starting 11
