Very happy with this. We need to accept that we’re not going to get big names when we are where we are. I’d have had him when we appointed LJ.
Please tell me we didn’t tell Keane he’s got 3 months and that’s it? He would’ve literally dropped all his contracts with sky and itv for nothing.
They wanted to see if Keane had that short term impact and speakman didn't want a longer deal for him. My guess is they have now **** the bet and had to extend contract to next choice.
Brian Clough always claimed he'd crawl over broken glass to come to Sunderland. I never believed that for a second ... ... and I don't believe Keane really wanted this job, if I saw him I'd call him a bottler to his face.
That's not a stunt, sometimes things happen in negotiations, Keane turned it down they have moved on to the 2nd choice. I agree on the contract, if they want him then give him a decent length contract
