I have the book on the shelf here! Alan Kelly, Staunton and Quinn went up to his room first, they weren't warmly received. McAteer and Harte went in to say goodbye and offer best wishes. Connolly and Breen went up later; they were the ones who apparently said 'We agreed with everything you said, Roy, but we want to play in the World Cup.'
Did Sunderland ‘ play ‘ Roy Keane or did Roy Keane ‘ play ‘ Sunderland or did both of them play the media and the public. If Roy is not good enough for Sunderland at this time then I can’t see there being too much demand for him in the future.
It might have come down to money. You'd expect he's one of the higher paid pundits and as a League 1 club you'd imagine Sunderland won't be necessarily looking to pay top dollar. My theory was they'd pay him a higher fee so he'd be the main attraction in making Sunderland 'Til I Die even more popular than it already is. Every football fan in the world would watch that.
I can. He was promoting the sale of his book while the rest of the management team were preparing for the Germany victory. He happily dressed as a leprechaun for a walkers crisps ad.
He plays the Simon Cowell bad guy pundit every day on tv
I would say Sunderland couldn't get near his salary expectations and that was it
Sunderland till I die hasn't been filmed since the end of the 18/19 season, nearly three years now.
You really think they wouldn't bring the show back if Roy Keane was available?
