It seems that Roy Keane has left Sunderland. He had recently spoken about a three year plan which would run out at the end of the season, but it had been assumed that due to his popularity with fans and successes since taking over in 2006 that it was an empty threat designed to give him a stronger bargaining position in contract talks. Instead, it seems that Keane's disappointment at Sunderland recently dropping into the relegation zone is the straw that broke ... Read More

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has spoken of his disappointment at the performances of Robbie Keane after having to substitute him for the 15th time this season, during the Red's draw against West Ham.

Prior to the match, Benitez had confirmed he would be resting some of the senior players who have been overplayed recently. "Gerrard will not be in the squad and neither will Keane.

"I was ... Read More

Sunderland manager Roy Keane has been added to the list that Tottenham Hotspurs are considering for when Ramos leaves, who is expected to move to Roma. Sunderland are denying that Keane is about to move, and even in his autobiography he mentioned the dislike Spurs have of him, so a move to White Hart Lane would be particularly odd. However, reports have emerged that Keane is unhappy with his current club and a position at Spurs would be a great challenge. Joe Kinnear, however, sees Keane ... Read More
