Mebbes he retired to avoid the 'why did you sign when you knew you weren't up to it?" question, but didn't think through the next question retiring would bring.

Just have to see if there are extra peas

That’s crazy mate they can’t just feed me peas
 

Sentimental signing and definetly a moral boost at the time. If he feels he can't hack training then no problem with that. He's 39. He came back for all the right reasons but yeh, the reality is he may have felt awful and exhausted.

It's fair enough, didn't work out. We've lost a striker which is bad if RS gets injured, but tht won't happen surely....Anyhoo I think we're at least in the play-offs and in with a chance of winning it.

Only Sunderland could get promoted when it seems extremely unlikely haha

Be interesting to see if he divulges why he retired before the seasons end. Suspect he realised he wasn’t up to it at his age and was going out on a whimper

Someone ask him if he fancy’s staying on as a strikers coach

We'll have to get some strikers first.

you think he wrote the statement himself? man has an agent and club have PR people to tell him what to write-bearing in mind he is breaking a legally binding contract he will have gpne along with what the club wrote.
 
I'm guessing he's over-estimated his ability to compete even at this level. To be fair to him and giving him the benefit of the doubt you can only realise that fully once playing again. I still think it was a crazy appointment at the time from our side and even more so now it's truly backfired.

Seemed very pally with KLD on the videos released, Im assuming it was him who was pushing for his and Keane's return.

I think it was him with the Instagram stuff which basically made the whole process far more difficult for the club. I'd be very surprised if he didn't know who Roy Keane was but then I'm not in my 20's, swiss or a billionaire so not the best to estimate his previous player/manager knowledge.
