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 !

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.

I'm not in the Keane in camp but thats not right. He spent a lot of money yes but the majority we made our money back on (Chopra, McShane, Halford) or were mainstays in Bruce's sides (Malbranque, Jones, Ferdinand). McCartney and Gordon are the only two that really cost us financially and that was bad luck due to injuries more than anything else. In any case we generally found buyers for Keane's signing and they weren't hanging around.

The financial hamstringing came with bruce and signing bang average players like Turner for £12m, Gardner £8m or free agents on 50k a week like Vaughan or Larsson on 4 year contracts. Those lot ended up stinking the place out for years and crippled us after the introduction of FFP.
