Roy Keane

Lee Johnson lost his job at the Stadium of Light on the back of a crushing 6-0 defeat to Bolton Wanderers, despite the fact that Sunderland remain well in contention for automatic promotion in League One.

An appointment hasn’t come to fruition yet, but Sunderland are narrowing their search and are edging closer to making a decision on either Keane or McCann.

Football League World understands that Keane and McCann are the only two candidates to be interviewed in-depth by the club, with the former the man that’s in the driving seat to land the top job.

However, sources have also explained to Football League World that there’s a good chance Sunderland’s decision might well come down to wage demands. Keane’s have been described to us as ‘pretty substantial’.

Keane, 50, has impressed as a pundit over recent seasons and has worked with Martin O’Neill under his coaching umbrella across various jobs. Previously in his career, Keane managed Sunderland and led them to Championship promotion, subsequently managing them in the Premier League.

McCann, meanwhile, is fresh out of the Hull City job, having left the East Yorkshire outfit last month. He won the League One title with the Tigers last season and had them well on their way to Championship safety in the current campaign before his departure.
 

"OK Roy, it's time for the role-play section of the third interview structural process. I'm going to play a 17 year old with no senior football experience. I want you to explain to me how I'm going to come in and play 40 games a season for you, regardless of how I actually perform. Sell me your philosophy through the prism of data-driven deliverability".

Oh aye, there's always the chance he's full of shit. I just mean if we take it at face value it's quite a positive update. Sounds like we want Keane but obviously its likely there'll be a number of demands (on both sides). Judging by keanes demeanour on the tele I don't get the impression there's anything major there, it seemed like an open secret that he was off. Need it tied up as soon as possible but while we wait its sensible to go through a full process with others so that, if Keane says no, we're ready to move quickly. If his reporting is accurate, which I know is debatable, I think it sounds sensible and it doesn't write off the possibility of an announcement tonight

If Keane ends up saying no the club can fuck off and fold as far as I’m concerned

GET IT SORTED TODAY MAN. Give him whatever he wants. Literally.

Don’t think we have much to lose by giving him another try. Promotion looks unlikely anyway with this shower.

That said, Keane has achieved far too little since leaving us to be allowed to write his own contract.

Football League world are about as reliable as the viz
 
It is becoming shambolic. Would not like to be any board member at the next home game if Keane is not the new coach it will be toxic
 
Where have all the ITKs gone? Given how many of them were proclaiming this was all done and dusted last week it seems strange that they're not providing more updates on the situation!
