[LNB]And if he wasn't ready for it after seeking out the man, the friendly little club he is running won't be either.[LNB] [LNB]I can tame this man: Roy Keane and Simon Clegg will both look to get the upper hand at Ipswich [LNB]Clegg leaves you with the feeling that he has looked to make his mark quickly as the new broom at Portman Road and only bought into one side of the former Sunderland manager - the success story.[LNB]The rows, the temper and the outbursts were probably thought of as minor inconveniences but Keane's first press conference must have been a wake-up call.[LNB]Tucking into some of his former Manchester United team-mates and taking another shot at Sunderland shareholder Ellis Short left Clegg chuckling nervously, so how will he react if the new Ipswich manager starts a few fires closer to home?[LNB] More from Hatchet Man...
