He doesnt travel on the Sunderland team bus to most away games. Storm in a teacup story. A win on Saturday and he shoots up 8 places or something stupid like that...

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I can't see Keane being in a job much longer. Dire first half performance from Sunderland. Lost the dressing room written all over this one. Malbranque, Chimbonda not interested. Not beyond the bounds that Kinnear could end up as manager of Sunderland if Keane sees out the season. If Keane is sacked/walks in the near future then "Big Sam" will be one of the favs.

Booed off at half time too.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
4-1 down now. My fiver at 8/1 on him being the next manager to leave is still looking good!.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Pity you didnt put more money on it!!!!! Looks a shoe in to walk away. He'll do well to get another job in Endland if he does head away. Too much money on not bad players but ones with serious attitude problems.

He has bought a lot of "troubled" players. I believe Sunderland half owned by US consortium so possibly not as blinkered as Irish owners.
He buys players for way too much, gives them huge wages, finds out their ****e, tries to sell them, can't because they're quite cushy earning a good few bob that they won't get elsewhere.
Hence why he's got near on 50 first teamers.
Very over-rated IMO.
Sunderland AFC are 89.95 owned by Drumaville. Originally this was the vehicle used by the Irish developers and publicans to buy the club.
They exited ownership of Drumaville in September but they deny it even today. They will only admit that Ellis Short purchased 30%, the shareholding of Paddy Kelly and Sean Mulryan
Drumaville is now controlled by US based venture capitalist Short and Per Magnus Andersson

Keane is a bad manager. His selections are erratic and inconsistent. His buys are even worse. He treats players like live stock. How does he expect any man to play for him. He will jump before he is pushed because I don't think Quinn and Co have the balls to sack him. He will vanish into football obscurity. My only fear is that when Trap ends his time with Ireland he will be rolled out as the next messiah.
Always look on the bright side of life
imagine if keane resigned - sunderland shirt sales would be down in cork the rest of ireland, and they would all go back supporting united or possibly go to the blue half of manchester and support the other cork man who refuses to play for his country, maybe keane will take will take up a role with the cork county board as chief negiotator in the stand off with the hurlers. Find out what paddy power will give you on that , he's managed that team like as if he was playing championship manager on his pc.
How long ago was it that you got those odds because it is looking a good bet now.
It was about two weeks ago or whenever the rumours were flying around about him resigning. It's on a previous page in the thread, I just can't be bothered to find out when exactly it was!.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
2 page thread!! Some effort required to find it

I am incredibly lazy and my computer is annoying!. OK, it was the 14th November. So, in short, about two weeks ago.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Ferguson started management in '74 and it took 3 years of management before he won the old scottish first division with St Mirren, it was then a further 3 years before he won his next silverware in 1980, a league title with Aberdeen. (courtesy of wiki)
I only use this example as much of the media spec has Keane as a Ferguson of his era or a Fergie replacement to be. It doesnt happen overnight, it takes time to bed yourself in as a manager.
Lets face it, love him or loathe him, hes still very new to this managerial malarky and I imagine Quinn and co are happy to give him the time that Fergie got at Man U back in the late 80's
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

There are very few managers, if any ,that have been a total sucess in their very first job.Yes Keane has spent alot of money but he has taken Sunderland a long way since the day he took over, his first year in the Championship in particular was excellent. He has made alot of mistakes but show me a manager that hasnt. He will probably leave Sunderland one way or another soon but I still expect him to be a top manager as he gains experience
Its really not that complicated!!!
Keano will come good. He is a winner. Doesnt know how to fail. The only thing that will make him leave is family commitments.
This guy spends 80 million plus, mostly on sub standard players, eg Chimbonda, Yorke,Harte, Chopra, Tainio, Malbranque, Cisse, Diouf , McShane, Stokes, O Donovan etc. I have more than likely forgotten the rest, there has been so much money wasted. Then you lot say give him a chance! How many of you will be following Sunderland after he either jumps ship(again) or he is pushed?
Get off the stage!
