News reaches us that Roy Keane has reduced the asking price of his Hale mansion to £7.5m after listing it in December for £9.5m. Would you want to be the estate agent breaking that bit of news to the gaffer ..??
This price cut, and his recent sacking by Ipswich, have made it a tough start to the new year for Keano.
Roy Keane
Before Christmas he told the Sun that it was with ‘a heavy heart’ that his 1.2-acre plot in Hale has been put on the market, adding that the uncertainty of his position as manager meant he might regret moving to Suffolk.
“As usual, it goes against all logic but, as a manager, life’s too short and you shouldn’t be tied to a house.”
The price cut suggests he remains determined to sell … though you can see why he’s sorry to leave the place behind: it’s tasteful, stylish and free from bling …aside the mirrors above the four poster bed!

Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Keane and Vieira bury the hatchet
Last updated at 8:22 AM on 3rd November 2011
They were the best of enemies but former Arsenal tough man Patrick Vieira and Manchester United enforcer Roy Keane made up before City's match on Wednesday night as they appeared on ITV together.
The pair constantly went toe-to-toe during the intense rivalry between the Gunners and the Red Devils and had a famous bust-up in the tunnel at Highbury in 2005 - with Sportsmail columnist Graham Poll the referee caught in the middle before the game had even started.

Keane won seven Premier League titles to Vieira's four and the pair were on four FA Cup wins each until Vieira added a fifth medal to his collection after Manchester City's win in May.
Keane was captain of the 1999 Treble-winning side but missed the Champions League final through suspension while Vieira wins hands down on the international front.

The Frenchman was part of the successful Les Bleus team at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000.
Keane once criticised Vieira for representing France rather than Senegal where he was born while the Gunners legend hit back by having a dig at his rival for walking out on the Ireland team at the 2002 World Cup.
The pair, now older and wiser, were in Spain on Wednesday as Manchester City - where Vieira is football development executive - beat Villarreal 3-0 to keep their Champions League bid on track.
