We control by attitudes positive mental attitudes not by rules.
And to this one as well
Is this not a poor attempt at instigating a Roy-bashing extravaganza.??
Been ages since my last extravaganza.
SIGNATURESCOPE
There's a big and growing question mark over his transfer dealings. I see the latest player he has signed is Rade Prica. Very poor signing IMO and not worth the £2 million Sunderland have spent. I really don't understand why they would sign him when they have much better options already at the club.
I think looking at it from the outside , there is a definite lack of continuity in the team and the squad , seems to be a lot of chopping and changing going on , He should try to find out what his best team is and stick with it

Worst miss in professional football history?
Looks a bargain.
There's 43 players on the Sunderland squad according to Wikipedia.
It looks to me like over 35 of them have figured in the Premiership aswell this year.
That must be very unsettling.
The best thing Keane can do in this window is a lot of clever selling.
Then he might buy his first top-class player.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Anyone else think he is looking up decent players in Football Manager and signing them on that basis?
I was only thinking that reading some other thread about him here earlier
One thing for sure, despite the money at his disposal he can't seem to attract quality established Premiership standards players to Sunderland.
Always look on the bright side of life
I see your miss and I raise you this:

This appeared on A Question Of Sport in the "what happened next round".
Stuart Pearce was on the show and was amusing with his
"keep yer head up love, it can happen to the best of us".
back on topic....
RK has spent a colossal amount of money on poor to average players. most of those he has either played with or knew from his previous clubs. He proved himself to be a good man manager imo last season with sunderland winning the championship but given a very big kitty this season he has really failed to buy any worthwhile players. the only signings you could call successful to any degree are kenwin jones (good player it appears) and kieran richardson (who is injury prone, a **** and only very average). the rest have been cat (no pun intended). sunderland are very boring to watch also. afaik he has spent about 50m euro while there and most of it has been wasted it has to be said.
did she break a bone in her toe while kicking the ball or is that an urban myth?? i have heard it a number of times.
Agreed he has bought some very poor players. But IMO un-educated opinion if he has all his squad fit (rarely ever happens) he has a decent side. I've seen Sunderland as much as possible this season with great interest, as I did last season, his football is far from boring they actually always play good football (vs Porthsmouth, great example).
If his first choice staring eleven is available he has invariably gotten a result. Some of the old crew are actually also working as coachs, ie Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke both of whom are both caochs.

The reported reason that he has only signed average, Championship level players is that last season he, and the rest of his staff, didn't expect to get promoted and had scouted players to get them promoted from the Championship this season. Since these are the only players he has managed to assess, he's gone for the best of them.
While the January window is generally acknowledged to be an "Ooops!" or "Shop soiled goods" sale & there's historically an obvious lack of big name moves (With the noted exception this year of Nic "I went to Chelsea in the window and all I got was a lousy 5 games during the African cup of nations and an enormous pile of money" Anelka. And to be fair, he has seemingly played for 138 clubs in the last 10 seasons, and no-one really expected him to invest in a Pie shop in Bolton as a post playing career nest egg...) even so, if I were part of the Drumaville consortium, I'd be concerned with the eagerness that some transfer listed players are displaying when a chance of a move to the allegedly 'dead and buried' Derby is mentioned, while Sunderland couldn't capture a decent signature with a battallion of tanks.
On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"
And they nearly did.
