I wouldnt go as far as to say he did a good job but was ok and an improvement on what we had available at the time but as you pointed out he chased the money at 30 years old not as old as most who go there. I do not see what the problem is I have said that I would sign Keane and dangle the offer of a years contracrt in front of him if or when we get promoted.

You have Spurs leanings do you not BG?

It might not be a great standard but he's already got the quality and won't exactly have been destroying himself over there. If you think that he won't have had offers from over half the Championship then you know nothing about anything.

Last resort!

Yup.
As a last resort, he is a good one!

For Sunderland? over the next few days I would imagine. They will be able to pay more, and so ok, he will be in a relegation scrap, but at least it will be Premier League football.

It's a big ask to jump straight into Prem football at age 36 after a 5 year absence with a poor side low on confidence under a manager who could get the chop any time soon.

Common sense suggests he'd want to pull in a reasonable salary whilst enjoying your football in a happy squad in a team going places with good training facilities, and that would point to either a top championship club or a return to Celtic.

According to talk sport this morning he's definitely going to a championship club.

Like the young boys of today used to like Man U but probably now Chelsea I liked Tottenham and when I had a pub in London I would go White Hart Lane if we not playing and my interest has continued so the answer is yes but I support BHA.

It was long long before Wetherspoons existed. This thing about me and Wetherspoons is quite funny because I never use them but when working for a stocktaking company I did Tim Martins first pub that he ran before he started Wetherspoons in partnership with Andrew Marler. They ran Martins in Muswell Hill but then fell out and Andrew went off to run a pub in Highgate - Marlers and Tim stayed in Muswell Hill.

Well everything was going fine until post #169 ! Then once you've done it they all muck up until someone can be arsed to correct it. Are you telling me you really don't realise you do it all the time?! :lol:
