EXPLAINED: Roy keane issues blunt response to west brom links after being installed as favourite | Rare Historical Photos

Roy Keane has distanced himself from the West Bromwich Albion job, declaring links with him and the role as "absolute rubbish".

The Irishman, who has made his desire to get back into management clear, has been installed as the early favourite for the Hawthorns job after Steve Bruce was sacked. The Baggies find themselves in the bottom three in the Championship and have opted for a change in the dugout.

Keane, who has won promotion from the second tier with Sunderland previously, hasn't held the top job for over a decade but continues to be linked with jobs, especially those in the Championship. However he has hit back at the speculation, adamant there is nothing to it.
