Keane Not Interested in Manager of the Month - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Roy Keane says the possibility of winning August’s Manager of the Month award is of no interest to him. Depending on results today, the Irishman could be one of a number of Championship managers in the running for the gong.

Keane said: "If you think I’m interested in individual awards, either as a manager or a player, you clearly don’t know me.”

The last Town manager to win the award was Joe Royle in November 2004. Keane himself won in February and March 2007 when with Sunderland.

Meanwhile, one of this morning’s papers again links the Blues with West Brom striker Luke Moore, who was previously claimed to be part of a proposed swap deal with Jon Walters prior to his switch to Stoke.

Town will learn their Carling Cup third round opponents at lunchtime today when the draw is held on Soccer Saturday on Sky between 12.15pm and 12.30pm.
