Sunderland favourite backs Roy Keane to raise standards and make immediate impact

I know that may sound a bit disrespectful to the previous staff but one thing that Roy will bring – having worked with him both as an international teammate and then as a player - is he won’t accept mediocracy and players not giving their all every day.

My only fear would be him not knowing loads about this level of football but if he did come in, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t an initial bounce and reaction within the Sunderland squad.
By the looks of it, he certainly seems to be the fans’ choice.
I’m sure Roy – or whoever comes in – would have preferred to be here for the January window but in saying that, I still think that this squad still should be closer to both Wigan and Rotherham.
