Roy Keane hints Sunderland's problems come from the top

06/10/15

Roy Keane guided Sunderland back to the Premier League in 2007 and said he'd still be there if he had been left alone

Roy Keane has strongly hinted that Sunderland's hierarchy is culpable for the club's continual managerial upheaval.

Keane had 27 months in charge at the Stadium of Light, and the Premier League club is now looking for a seventh permanent manager since his departure in December 2008.

Since then Steve Bruce, Ricky Sbragia, Martin O'Neill, Paolo Di Canio, Gus Poyet and Dick Advocaat have all tried to bring success to the Wearside club, but none of them has managed to match Keane's 42 per cent winning record.

They are lucky that they are still in the prem with some of the decent managers they couldn't keep hold of long they are a club that def needs a restructure.

I don't think the problems a t Sunderland are any worse than at many other 'modern' clubs...

Mega-rich owners 'playing' at being football managers and looking only to soothe their own egos!

No need for an 'old-style' manager these days; just someone to blame when it all goes t*ts up! ;) :cry:
