totally agree with ye harty
When the going gets tough, keano gets running!
Im sure the board are raging, they backed him with a hell of an amount of money, and most of his signings were crap, but still continued to back him.

Board tried to keep him lads, when he took over the club they were rock bottom of the championship and now they are 4 or 5 points from 8th place in the premiership so considering that he has done an amazing job. Maybe went in to management too quick and may need to do a few coaching courses etc now.

Football365 says he quit by sending Quinn a message and then refused to answer calls! Shocking behaviour if thats true!

If keane wasnt from the republic of ireland everybody would be on saying how great a job he done taking a sunderland team who were on the slide from the lower reaches of the second division into the first and keeping the there. He may have spent a lot of dough and bought s**te but he had to build a squad and apart from the odd exception like hull you have to spend big even to survive in the premiership. Plus he couldnt attract big names to Sunderland so he was never gonna do a chelsea.

Mick McCarthy brought Sunderland up and down, with no money to spend and never walked. He played for and managed the Republic.
Keane's always had the repuation of a hardman and such a battler.
If u ask me or Alf Inge Haaland he's a bottler and a coward!!!

It seems to me that this is really the first bad spell he's had in his managerial career and he's walked out without trying to turn it around, despite his chairman continually backing him, and in the sense i agree with what Harty is saying. |

He did come out with one of the best quotes ever, in front of the whole Ireland squad at World Cup 2002, after McCarthy had tried to make a d7ck out of him
"Mick, you're a liar... you're a f**king w4nker. I didn't rate you as a player, I don't rate you as a manager, and I don't rate you as a person. You're a f**king w4nker and you can stick your World Cup up your arse. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are the manager of my country! You can stick it up your bollocks.”
