Yes but why would you sign for a club because of the manager, when everyone in football knows that as soon as United come knocking he will be off like a shot.

A hope that he might take you with him?

An utter tosser of a man.

Hughes would do exactly the same.

I don't know if anyone has had a look at the Koala Championship table today and compared it the the one that existed when RK took over as Sunderland manager.

Whatever he needs to get them promoted he has it in spades.

Id like to see him as our manager when Hughes leaves for UTD...

Not after those disrespectful comments I wouldnt. Don't want somebody like that running my club, even if he brings us Champs League football.

Because even if he has a fantastic two, three or even four seasons, it probably still wouldn't give him the credentials to be United manager. So it isn't like the players would hardly get any time under him. I'd imagine that players would want to play for a club with such an ambitious manager and to learn something from him, as he was one of the best in the game, especially if they are young or play in midfield.

Remember the dive he took against us? It's SO good watching him get a second yellow card for diving. I always play it if Manure beats us, that and the one that consists only of our goals agains them. Watch it here.

Whether we like it or not, Sunderland under Roy Keane (and with a bit of dosh behind them) are gonna be a force in the Premiership. The man is utterly dislikeable but who does that remind us of amongst the managerial fraternity?

Keane v Mourinho will be one to watch.

[wakefieldblue]

I have no doubt that Roy Keane will have a successful career as a manager, however it makes my blood boil that the man who gave back word to Rovers all those years ago continues to have a pop at our club. No to mention the fact that he will hate Chelsea. These comments are nothing more than baiting two clubs which he despises.

I agree with the general theme of this thread.....playing in the Top Flight will be far different and a greater test than the Championship....I find it amazing that Keane (who after all know's the league better than anyone) should choose these words.

In essence he's stirring it up like his old Lord and Master and will always be that way for as long you put a microphone under his nose.

As for Hughes v. Keane at tis stage. There is ABSOLUTELY no comparison. We have the better man. Would you ever hear Mark Hughes making comments like this? Definitely not. If hughes was to leave in the future and Keane became our manager I could only pass judgement when he had been around the block a little longer to see if he was the right choice......but deep down I would always be unhappy about the welcher representing our club. But don't worry it will never actually become a brain teaser, as in reality he wouldn't even get out of bed to talk to us.....he'd much rather play snooker with Sir Alex Ferguson (or maybe not nowadays).

I can see Keane having the same problems as Souness as his career wears on...

Colchester 3-1 Sunderland

Whatever Roy

[Claytons Left Boot]

Keane has done an exceptional job at Sunderland and good luck to him. However he has shown with his immature comments that he is still very near the bottom of his learning curve. You just do not say things like he did.

[ihateburnley]

Whilst I like Sunderland and believe they belong in the Premiership, Keane is so arrogant that he will get what's coming to him soon enough.

And as for Keane being some kind of hardnut - Hughes would batter the pikey tosser.

Colchester 3-1 Sunderland

Whatever Roy

You beat me to it......sorry Roy was Colchester Utd or Man utd? So easy to get the two mixed up!
