I am a big fan of "Our Roy" - but the facts are he bought some ridiculous players for huge fees and gives them high wages for doing diddly squat - I mean Kieran Richardson -

Be interesting to see what the bandwagon jumpers do now...

Sky Sports reporting he has definitely walked

**holidaysong** · 04/12/2008, 10:32 AM

Sky Sports News are reporting that he is gone this morning.

Oh and David Connolly. I keep forgetting he still exists.

What do you mean by gone? Gone where? If he has quit where is your source?

Guardian newspaper website also reporting he is gone

**FarBeag** · 04/12/2008, 10:42 AM

Oops! A little hasty on my behalf. Sorry!

**elroy** · 04/12/2008, 10:45 AM

Sad to see him go, wonder whats gonna happen all the new age Ireland supporters now. Not sure Keane is upto the managerial game unfortunately. Hard to see what job he'd go to next.

Well, other than Murphy, Millar and Reid who'd get a few minutes each, it obviously should help them since they can't do any worse.

True to form. Cant wait to see who he blames.

**joeSoap** · 04/12/2008, 10:53 AM

top notch stuff, 'alright there'

Shown up as the spoofer he is. First hint of trouble and he sulks and then walks, sound familiar? The next Brian Robson.

**as_i_say** · 04/12/2008, 11:03 AM

From a casual observer point I think the players had lost confidence in him. Didnt seem to matter whether you had a stormer one week, you could be dropped for weeks after and the cycle continues. Giving out about the players more than other managers and buying complete donkeys didnt help either. He's given out more player loans in the last few months than my local bank.

Can we have this thread operating without opening up old 'Civil War' wounds?

First one to mention the 'S' word gets a one week ban.

hardly a spoofer considering what he did in the two previous seasons. He has had trouble with Sunderland before now. Having said that his team selections in the last few weeks have been baffling, the team hasnt been settled in weeks. Although I doubt Sunderland will get a manager who will do much better than Keane has.
