Keane is much calmer in managerial role, says Yorke

DWIGHT YORKE has seen a “much calmer” Roy Keane since the Republic of Ireland icon took the managerial plunge with Sunderland.

Keane is said to give his players the “hair-dryer” treatment when his temper snaps in the dressing room. But he used the cool approach to coax the best out of the Republic’s Liam Lawrence in Sunderland’s 2-0 home win over Barnsley on Saturday.

Winger Lawrence, a target for the Wearside boo-boys, helped set up Dean Whitehead’s opener, before Chris Brown struck as the Black Cats launched a decisive late onslaught.
