Overview
- On the Stick to Football podcast, Roy Keane said Lisa Roughead has "a bit of a big mouth" and joked she was "probably doing the team talk."
- Keane’s aside came during a discussion on new-manager messaging, as he recalled keeping Sunderland players guessing by not speaking for two days.
- The jab revived a 2014 flashpoint when Roughead angrily tweeted about Keane after his on-air critique of Michael Carrick, then deleted the post and expressed regret.
- Keane also questioned Michael Carrick’s staff choices, singling out Jonny Evans’ rapid move from loans manager to first‑team coach and voicing doubts over Evans and Jonathan Woodgate.
- Carrick has been appointed interim manager until season’s end with a staff including Darren Fletcher, Steve Holland, Woodgate, Travis Binnion and Evans, and no public response from Carrick or Roughead was reported ahead of Saturday’s Manchester derby.
