but Keane was a superb United Captain. He kept the egotistical/quality players in check and it worked because they won the lot...but as a player he was limited.
However....as a person, the bloke is a first class bellend. Its not fair to throw the "Spent £70 Million" tag at him.....thats the Boards decision.
Lost 6 out of the last 7 games shows he cant manage a team and as with the Irish National Team ....he walked!
He has no real Titanium Balls....end of story.....
At least he can go back to his Multi Million pound mansion in Cheshire and retire....
I agree with you injinuity. Keane is a quitter. First, Ireland and now Sunderland. Its easy to be a good man when you are surrounded by world class players but when the things gets tough, he is the first to jump the ship. Oh wait, why am i crushing Roy? Ahaha!
Sam Allardyce has told Sunderland that he would be interested in discussing the vacant manager's seat at the Stadium of Light.
Former Black Cats boss Roy Keane ended a fortnight of speculation on Thursday when he resigned after just 27 months in charge.
Chairman Niall Quinn confessed that he attempted to change Keane's mind but, after an unsuccessful attempt to sway his former Republic of Ireland team-mate, a hunt is now on for a successor.
Allardyce, who spent a season as a player with Sunderland and also served on the Black Cats' coaching staff in the reign of Peter Reid, is the bookmakers' favourite, while his ex-Bolton assistant and current Hull City chief Phil Brown is also in contention.
And former Newcastle manager Allardyce, who was axed at St James' Park in January, has now admitted a curiosity in replacing Keane.
"Sunderland are a great club so of course I would be interested in talking to them," Allardyce said in The Sun.
"I have huge respect for the chairman Niall Quinn and the job he has done.
"I enjoyed the year I had at Sunderland and also when I did some coaching work there under Peter Reid.
"I also know how passionate the fans are about their team."
I think Sam will be great. Keane spent a lot molding this team and Sam is renowned for being frugal. I wouldn't mind Sam coming in 'cause I'd rather watch them scrap out of a 1-0 win at Fulham than lose 3-1 to Bolton trying to play the right way! Makes sense?

Of all the good things he did, he would be remembered most for;
1. his row with the national coach and return from worldcup.
2. his reckless and premeditated violent tackles on players.
3. Quitting sunderland rather than having the fortitude to fight out the relgation battle. Quitters never win.

What do you mean? LOL!
oh, okay. haha!
I hope they go down and more so I hope Sam Alardyce is managing them, he has more excuses than Doha has starbucks.
A marriage made in heaven

Let's hope that they go for Sam Alardyce.. He deserves to be back in the Premiership..
Oh no.. no.. no.. Its depressing, i mean it.
I've always loved Roy. Who doesn't?
Good luck to Black Cats then.
The question is, who would manage the Mackems?
BTW, i won't mind my hero going back to United.
