Good Luck Keano

Good luck to Roy Keane who looks set to become the new Sunderland manager on Monday. He has agreed terms with the club today and is expected to put pen to paper straight after the West Brom game.
In all honesty, I’ve never been Keane’s biggest fan. There’s no doubt he is one of the best midfielders to have played in the Premiership and he was an inspirational captain at Man Utd. Unfortunately, the Alf-Inge Haaland incident and the World Cup 2002 fiasco have spoiled his footballing CV.
Nevertheless, I am 100% behind Keane and really hope he has a positive impact at the club. We are desperate to break our duck this season and I think Keane’s no-nonsense attitude might be the kick up the backside that our players need. He certainly won’t put up with anyone giving less than 100%. All the better if the rumours are true and he brings Brian Kidd in as his assistant. Between them I can really see them turning things round for us.
Quinny is reportedly ready to give him a £20m transfer kitty, so this really is an opportunity that doesn’t come around very often. Ha’way the lads!
