Keane's £15m to stay up
-
ROY KEANE will have a £15million transfer kitty to save Sunderland from the drop.
Portsmouth midfielder Matt Taylor and Manchester United defender Jonny Evans top KeaneÂ’s wish-list.
The Black Cats are two points above safety but Keane said: “My gut feeling is we’ll be okay. We’ve done all right, but the next step is the biggest one we have to take.
“I believe that at the end of the season we’ll have enough points to look back and say we’ve had a decent campaign. There’s still a hell of a lot of work to do but I believe the fans appreciate the progress we’re making.”
And Keane has been given a massive boost by the return to fitness of skipper Dean Whitehead.
The midfielder is in line for a recall at Everton next weekend.
He played 60 minutes for the reserves at Falkirk on Thursday night in his first run-out since rupturing his cruciate ligament in August.
Keane is desperate to get Whitehead back and will put him through his paces again on Tuesday.
If all goes well, Whitehead will be in the squad for the trip to Goodison Park alongside fit-again hitman Andy Cole who played for 70 minutes in Scotland.
Whitehead said: “There hasn’t been any reaction so far in the knee but I didn’t really expect there to be any.
“The knee is fine and feels good, I just need to work on my fitness now.It’s a big step for me.” -
i like keane as a manager
hope sunderlands stays up -
the team work real hard.
but it is evident there are a lot of players not good enough to play in the premiership. -
aiyah...i tot its offered to robbie keane so that he can try to score more goals to help spurs ah
-
bolton cannot go out!!!!!!!!
-
keane is a good manager..
sunderland will stay up
-
sunderland is crap. only the manager is worth staying up.
but on the other hand, keano is not a proven manager yet. -
to be exact he maid a really wrong buy of the season kieran richardson,he takes corner like a s league player
-
the likes of playing top teams really test Keane's ability as a manager in EPL
-
yeah.. i tink prem and championship football the diff too big liao. thats why keane and co are struggling.
