We have a DoF. He also didn't bankrupt us last time, quite the opposite, he got us to the land of milk and honey at the first attempt.

AND? Left us with a lot of players unsuited to the higher level and we could not get rid of. Where were we when he left?

Sacked

Left on his own accord didn't he. Can't say he was anything other than a success like

 

[Mackem00]

You're assuming he's not happy to be part of it? He's young enough to be long term and he's spoke of being in favour of a DoF

I am. Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think there is any chance of abandoning it and nor should it. If Keane takes it and wants the job long term then he'll have to work with it.

Short term - Keane has what he has to work with. If he can organise the players and get us up then great. If he can't then we go again in the Summer with either Keane (working with the system) or a new manager.

It really is this simple.

If he could get us to that level again we would be happy. Bruce left us with more sgite than him like

Off the top of my head, I can only think of 4 managers in the English game with complete success.
Pep, Fergie, Busby and Shankly.

He has got to be worth another shot if only for what he achieved last time

Where were we when he left?

Read his book mate. He really didn't want to go.
I think he was a success completely. Love the bloke for what he did for the game in this country.

Lets call it a half.

Here's how the next 18 month goes !!!

Keane comes back, secures promotion to the championship, Henderson decides he's had his time at Liverpool and wants to come back and help drive the club back to the premiership, next season Henderson assists loads, Defoe scores 20 goals and then retires after achieving a final promotion and Roy Keane actually accepts the success of back to back promotions and leads an open top bus tour of Sunderland !

Jesus keep talking I’m nearly there ….

Bruce had to get rid of that sh*te and the result was that funds were limited. It affected us for a long time after.

 

[Georgewhitt]

Where were we when he left?

Premier League I think.

Where were we when he left?

Where we're we when he arrived?

A division above and about to spend our longest run in top flight football for decades.

They were signings that kept us up the first season and they were good enough to do that. When Bruce came in it was a natural progression of players to get us to the next level.

Funds weren't limited at all. Stop telling lies.

Sunderland, voting for the football equivalent of brexit.

Free trial available on Audible if anyone's interested in Keane's second book.

A decent part of the above book is about his time at SAFC and there's a bit of reflection from him on what he's learned from here and his time at Ipswich.
