But ultimately you don’t get people like him without paying the money.

People like him is the hugely debatable point. We wouldn't be getting a current Premier Manager , or even a current Championship manager stepping down and therefore someone you know what you are getting for that price.

You'd be buying a person who nobody else in football has believed in for 11 years, potentially outdated, known to be volatile and no real history of being good with younger players. Hes also not even a coach. Basically a huge risk.

So his worth at present is not 800k to 1m a year its more like 300k a year, like LJ's reported salary.

I’ve said this before but people need to take keanes comments with a pinch of salt when it comes to returning to management. He has a very easy number on TV and he was never going to join us on a L1 wage.

Some on here have been very naive around what his salary expectations would be.
 
Am I the only one to believe ....it had nothing to do with keanes wages ....the reason that Keane is not coming here is surely to do with he wants full control of transfers(in and out) and a guaranteed transfer budget in the summer.....that to me is way more likely .....it would also be what kind of length of contract ....I don't think Keane was being greedy more a control thing ....
 
No way he's asked for 50k, but I'd be interested to know who our biggest earner is?

I'm sure Ferguson had a clause at United where he had to be top earner. I wonder if Keane asked for similar?

Also a man who took us from the darkest depths of the second tier to the Premier and kept us there.
So you've got a bit of a clue as to what you're getting.
Just saying.

He's had interest from Championship clubs. He just never fancied those jobs. He's said as much in interviews.

Length of contract most likely

There's also the fact he's been pissed around for 2 weeks. It's not exactly the best way of showing that we want him and have faith that he's the man to take us up.
 
Surely we ain’t going into another day with no appointment........

Most important thing now is to have a quick appointment if it’s not Keane and quit while we’re behind so we can start moving forward.

Surely the only good things about this ridiculous process is, if the lead candidate says no, we’ve actively been in discussion with other candidates and can quickly appoint our second choice.


You’d have to be incompetent to the point of gross negligence to let this slide into another day. Oh wait, oh yea that’s right, we’re Sunderland and that’s how we role. Not happy with kicking ourselves in the nuts, we gotta do it twice to make sure it hurt properly. Classic

How do you know he’s been pissed around? Maybe we’ve been pissed around waiting for responses. We don’t know do we?
