Could Roy leave Suderland
« on: April 16, 2007, 02:16:14 PM »
All the talk about players leaving Sunderland did anyone think about one off the big teams in the EPL or even Celtic offering Roy Keane a big contract off which he can’t refuse. Would he take that job you never know.

 Although he’s new to management his track record is impressive by-the-way has there been a manager in his first year off management  take a team from bottom off the table top and promotion.

Roy is not leaving Sunderland, his aspiration's are to coach Ireland and more so Man U..... He is going to take Sunderland as far as he could to prove himself to the ManU admin, when Sir Alex retires, it will between Roy Keane, Mark Hughes and whoever else... If he does not get than ManU call up, then he may start looking for big bucks...

Roy said he was buying a house in Sunderland and moving his family to Sunderland very soon in a recent interview posted on this site. He would not be making that move so late in the season if he wasn't planning to stay at Sunderland for a while. He even said he was nervous about it because it was a big commitment in a job where a manager has little job security. Sounds like he is staying put...In football anything is possible..but he making some long term moves.

He's buying in Durham.... but like you say, its got to be a good sign that he's willing to make what appears to be a long term, family investment in moving to the area, rather than leaving his wife & kids in Manchester / Cheshire.

Any coach could leave any team for the right amount of money and a contract he desires

I disagree.

Some coaches might leave a club for a bigger pay cheque, but I think there are still some out there (and hopefully Keane is one  ;) ) who are motivated by a challenge or by an affinity to a certain club (or country).
Obviously, if they feel that they have taken their (current) side as far as they can, they will look for a fresh challenge, but I don't think money is always a factor.

Now, me... if someone wants to offer me $250k p.a., I'll bite their arm off.  :rotfl:

oh but you did indirectly comment on the last part "a contract he desires" which does not necessarily deal with monetary considerations, but more with let me quote you when you say "they will look for a fresh challenge"  so that is why i agreed originally. ;)
I would hope that a Manager who employs a Holistic approach to his job would have other reasons than only money to help him make a decision about accepting any job.

Bah, alright... I semi-agree with you.  :P

I blame problemjaydeess for introducing the nebulous term "contract"....

Keane has said that he is insulted by talk that he is using Sunderland as a stepping stone to get the United job, he will see out his contract and said that he could see himself being at Sunderland for 10 years

Why would Roy Keane be going anywhere he was big player but he's not a big manager....yet.
Don't get me wrong through he's done well.

I did not want to say 1st spot in the EPL as I did not want to agitate the ManUbuntas (a play on the word Marabuntas - which is a wasp in Trinidad) on this forum. ;)
