Roy Keane
Did an amazing job getting Sunderland promoted to Premier last season considering the position they were in when he took over
Done an equally brilliant job keepin them up this season
Aint a sunderland fan but think hes been brilliant for them

Next Man Utd Manager???

He's been a revalation... I admit that when he was still at Man United and Fergie said he'd make a good manager I laughed my ass off at the idea. He is like a different person though and my LORD he's done a good job. To be fair they spent their way out of the Championship, but plenty of teams have tried that tactic without success. Plus, keeping any newly promoted team up there is an massive achievement... just gotta do it for next season too.

Next Man Utd manager? Jose Mourinho... Betcha...

To put things in perspective, if you gave £30m to any manager of a newly promoted team, they'd have a pretty good chance of staying up.

To put things "into perspective"
When Keane took over at Sunderland they were close to relegation
He guided them to promotion without the 30 million which was a massive achievement and kept them there with players that to be honest are not premiership class

Sunderland had one of the best squads in the Championship that season before Keane came in, and were only down in the relegation zone because Niall Quinn was totally useless as manager and lost his first 4 in charge.

So yes, to put things into perspective, Keane did very well in the Championship and has also done well to stay in the Premier League, but would he have managed to save a team like Derby or Fulham, or would he need around £30million to do that?

He has spent alot although to be honest I thought most the players he brought in were actually rather poor signings. So yes I think he has done very well to take them from the bottom of the championship to the premiership and keep them there in his first 2 seasons. Next season we will see if he can really cut the mustard and try and push Sunderland into the top 10.

And how much have Fulham spent in time have been in Prem,money helps a hell of a lot but isnt everything
Fulham: Yes i think he would have kept them up
Derby: No chance,they were never ready for promotion

Yes, he's done a good job. Though eh has spent a lot but that's what happens in the Premiership you have to spend big or you end up back playing the likes of Sheffield United twice a season and nobody wants that. You could say he overspent on some players Michael Chopra, Craig Gordon but think of the alternatives. Fair enough he may have been able to find other players in them positions cheaper but they probably would have done the job his current team has.

The main thing I like about Keane though is he's not afraid to speak his mind and will not hold back when talking about the 'big' clubs

I didn't like Keane when he was a player, but I've warmed to him since he became a manager. The other week he refused to blame the referee for the loss of his team and now he's come out and said this about Jack Warner.

I think he's right. I remember when Yorke played against England, he said he'd retired and was just making a guest appearance.

Also, like Keane says, why is Warner going through the media to speak to him?
