Roy Keane has given his strongest indication yet that he genuinely feels that the problem at Sunderland Football Club is coming from the boardroom.
Keane, who spent 27 months in charge of the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light, believes that the club’s hierarchy should be taking the blame for the constant sacking of managers.
The Premier League club are now on the lookout for a manager who would become their seventh permanent boss since 2008 following the departure of Dick Advocaat.
Since Keane got the sack, Steve Bruce, Ricky Sbragia, Martin O’Neill, Paolo Di Canio, Gus Poyet and Dick Advocaat have all tried their luck at taking the reigns at Sunderland and attempting to bring some success. However, none lived up to the expectation and Keane still holds the highest winning record at 42 percent.
On Monday, Advocaat left the post following a struggling end to last season, something that hasn’t been improved upon this campaign. When asked about whether he was surprised at the quick exit, Keane’s response was simple. “No.”
When asked for his opinion by Sky Sports News, the ex-Manchester United midfielder said:
It’s Sunderland, isn’t it? It’s a brilliant club, but I don’t know, I really can’t comment on why different managers have left or have been sacked. But people in the background probably need to have a good look at themselves.
