Can't say I'm that bothered. If people take the rose tinted specs off they'll remember he got us promoted by wasting a shitload of money on loads of players, most of whom weren't good enough.

and he recruited a lot of experienced players which isn't our 'model'. he probably looked at the squad and the shitshow over the last few games and said he would want several experienced hard players-probably late 20s early 30s. If Speakman was going to run the show that would never work.

Every single fan needs to show how angry we are by not going to games in future, we’ve been taken for absolute mugs for way too long.

No one was suggesting that. You boldly asserted you'd impose a life ban on yourself. It remains to be seen whether you do.

Often it's a simple question of words. Words are actually more important than some will allow. Had you said, for example, the club has made Keane an offer, it's now up to him to decide whether or not to accept it, then there's no problem. But some can apparently never resist the temptation to gild the lily, thereby (mixing my metaphors with impunity!) jumping the gun, then get all defensive when it blows up in their faces. Such was life, is life & likely will be life, for time immemorial....

If it was some cook at the club or whatever I wouldn’t have even said anything but the person who told me is from the first team and they said it was done and he’d be there Saturday etc and that’s obviously what the club thought. They’ve possibly been naive, amateurish or underestimated Keane but it looks like it’s backfired however until we appoint a new manager there’s always hope!
 
Another no mark shit manager is gonna get his chance of a lifetime massive payoff from Sunderland AFC.

This damage will take decades to repair. Even if we win the champions league in 5 years time, we still had Phil Parkinson and Simon Grayson as a manager.

I was desperate for him to come but we don’t know why it’s fell through.

If it’s money or contract length then the owners deserve the shit they’re going to get. If it’s down to the DoF then that’s something Keane knew all about before he was interviewed for the job.

Turned us down, I cannot believe KLD and Speakman could not convince RK to come back to the club, well I can it’s more Keane almost certainly not convinced about the Board. What an absolute shambles we are. 24 year old multi Billionaire owner and the one man who would have raised this clubs standardson and off the field has said no he doesn’t want it..

That’s my finish.

Let's be honest we don't have a clue why he has turned us down. The problem is it's taking too long to get a manager in place

I know it’s not going to happen but that’s the only option he’s left himself.

Even that makes no sense! He has many options, the most likely being he lets his man Spenkman appoint someone no-one but himself wants and allows the club to wallow in the mire a while longer. Then sack that next no-hoper, maybe finally can Spenkman to pin the blame on him, issue a bland statement and appoint another degree-toting fuckwit to come along and restart the cycle hoping to come good before the attendance at home games drops below 12k.
 
its 2027 and Roy Keane enters his 421st interview for the vacant Sunderland job Michael proctor and Mike Dodd's prepare for their 300th game as caretaker managers with a record of 2-0-297.
