Paul Lambert warns people to "take cover" with regards to Roy Keane's new book

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has warned figures within football to "take cover" when Roy Keane releases his new autobiography next week.

The 43-year-old, who is Lambert's assistant boss at Villa, has given the Scotsman a preview of the book, which is titled The Second Half.

Keane is expected to criticise former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson after the Scot hit out at Keane in his autobiography released last year.

"I've seen bits of it," the Daily Mail quotes Lambert as saying. "And it'll be... aye, listen, take cover like. It will be good reading put it that way. Great night-time reading."

The book is due to be released on October 9.
