Roy Keane quitting as Sunderland boss was not a huge shock but I’m surprised by reports many of the players were happy about his departure.
The former Manchester United midfielder seemed an inspired appointment by chairman Niall Quinn two years ago despite having no managerial experience — apart from playing under Brian Clough and Alex Ferguson.
The trophies he won as a player, his burning desire for success, a refusal to accept second-best and the sheer force of his personality seemed ideal qualities to galvanise Sunderland into becoming more than England’s best yo-yo club.
