Brady has nothing to offer, says Keane

THOUGH he gives Giovanni Trapattoni’s appointment a guarded thumbs up, Roy Keane claimed yesterday that Liam Brady will bring nothing to the table in his role as assistant manager – apart from his ability to speak Italian.

The Sunderland manager was in a loquacious mood in Stillorgan yesterday – as he always is during his promotional duties for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind – but the flow of conversation almost ran dry with mention of the Arsenal legend.

“I don’t think he will add anything to it,” said Keane. “I think he’ll just be the translator.”
