They've done it again: Sunderland AFC. I've got loads of time for Niall Quinn and Roy Keane so what's gone wrong at the Stadion Lux?
Looks like the players don't like being disciplined and managed by someone good.
Doubtless there are some of the clueless band of supporters who think it's good that he's gone.
I predicted a high top half of the table position for Sunderland for the end of this season. That is what player and supporter irresponsibility are losing. He's in the mould of Martin O'Neill in my opinion.
I hope Keane finds a club to respect him now. He'll probably have to go down a division or two again to get a club to appreciate him.
If Sam Allardyce gets the job then I'll be happy with that. Another top chap, Sam. I have admired him since his days as a player at Roker park. Good, honest, solid performer.

I think attitude wise Roy Keane is spot on, but he bought flash in the pan flash harry's, that are quite frankly talentless.
Heres the list.
Kenwyne Jones - Gangling Oaf £5m and 5 goals. Got two touches against West Ham and gave the ball away cheaply both times, tripping over his own feet and the like. Never in good postitions in the box. How many crosses and he wasn't even near any of them. Saw him play as lone striker against Newcastle last season and I've never seen someone such a dismal attempt at the most difficult role on a football pitch. That role requires someone sharp like Phillipo Inzaghi, to run the channels and beat offsides or someone built like an Ox, such as Mark Hughes or Wayne Rooney to hold the ball and wait for support. I've never seen this guy go past a defender, I don't think he's capable. I could do better.
Diouff, oh dear what can I say that hasn't already been said. Flash 'Arry or what. This man has made millions for always looking great even though he does nothing, can't tell if he's going forward or backwards. I honestly don't think he knows where he is on the pitch most of the time. Managers end up sticking him on the wing, not because he's a winger, that takes a lot of talent, just because the defenders tend to be further away from wingers when they receive the ball, so he doesn't get rushed off the ball, which is what happens if he gets possession anywhere else. In all the years I have never seen this man run. He should be named the Swan, because he just seems to Swan about, skipping away, whilst everybody else plays football.
Anton Ferdinand I've not seen him play and if he was anywhere near as good as his brother, Man Utd. or one of the big clubs would have paid £8m for him. Use your brain Keane.
Michael Chopra, now there's a player who wished his lucky stars that he ever played in the premier league. Credit to him, he did his best and played out of his skin for us. You could even say that he got some vital goals for us, but never a premiership player and never worth £5m.
Andy Reid, one of the best players, but the man is obese. How is Keane supposed to discipline and earn respect players when he allows others to be obese. Jan Molby eat your heart out, and he would have to, to be as big as Andy Reid. Great player, great guts.
Kieran Richardson, has potential, but potential does not cost £5m and 2-3 seasons learning to play in the premiership. It may work out to be good business, who knows.
If Dwight Yorke takes over, something rotten went on behind the scenes.
