TheStar.com - columnists - Keane runs a tight ship:
I know that everyone is expecting Roy Keane to take over at United one day but I didn't realize that he was more an admirer of Clough's managerial philosophy:
"Keane's main role model as a manager is not his mercurial master in Manchester, Sir Alex Ferguson. Rather, he has adopted the coercive personality of his first and most influential boss, Brian Clough. Clough was the crusty, manipulative, brilliant mind that for one brief shining moment turned tiny Nottingham Forest into the best club in Europe. Keane already has Clough's cockiness (during his heyday with Notts Forest, Clough was asked exactly how good he considered himself. 'I certainly wouldn't say I'm the best manager in the world, but I'm in the top one,' he replied)."
