Sunderland’s boss is questioning his future…

Roy Keane

Roy Keane may have enjoyed his first couple of years in football management, but is the angry, albeit mellowing Irishman getting fed up already? The principled departures of Kevin Keegan and Alan Curbishley have paved the way for other managers to turn their backs on high profile jobs should circumstances become intolerable and Roy Keane has made it perfectly clear that he will not be putting up with abuse from supporters.

“I have no problems with fans expressing their opinions, but one or two had a go pretty much towards myself - and that’s something I won’t tolerate. That’s something I’ve not come into the job to accept again.

With high quality coaches in increasingly short supply, clubs may be forced to bow to the demands of their managers. After years of Premier League bosses wielding the axe as and when they deem fit, are the tables beginning to turn?

    He’s not very well liked in Sunderland-the fans can’t relate to him at all, must be because he has a BATH occasionally.
    The “Unwashed” don’t like clean folk.

    stop whining and get on with the job. A terrible performance against northampton and critisism is justified

    Roy likes to dish it out but can’t take the flak when it comes his way, it’s all pretty much toys out of the pram stuff, keep him sweet and we’ll be fine otherwise he’ll get the hump and disappear.
