Keane Reveals TV Offers - Ipswich Town News
Boss Roy Keane has revealed that he has had offers of television punditry roles ahead of this summer’s World Cup. The Blues boss has already said that he plans to take in a few games in South Africa.
Keane told the club site: "I've had one or two offers from TV companies to work at the World Cup and I might surprise everyone and go. I did say might!
"It would be a good opportunity to watch some games and hopefully Tommy Smith will be there with New Zealand, so I might get the chance to see him in a World Cup environment.
"As a manager you are always watching matches anyway. Not necessarily to watch a particular player, just to enjoy a game."

EFL Statement on AbandonmentThe EFL has issued a statement relating to yesterday’s abandoned Championship game between the Blackburn Rovers and the Blues at Ewood Park.
McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
