keane NOT gone

[Helios Creed]

from mackems



no confirmation yet but my man says

hopefully he has attributes other than his insider tips.

[Helios Creed]

he's showing signs of going to pieces already - hasn't got the temperament to handle the pressure - he'll walk before long, get another high profile job, then leave that as it starts going tits up for the ROI job..

My mackem mate said he decked Dean Whitehead on Wednesday.

Why did your mate do that?

Paddy Power has suspended betting on the Premier League 'Sack Race' following widespread rumours and a flood of bets on a Roy Keane walkout at Sunderland.

Keane had been sitting reasonably comfortably in the Sack Race pack at 14/1 at lunchtime on Friday while Mark Hughes headed the betting at 3/1.

However sustained betting on the Irishman drove his price all the way down to 4/1 favourite with Hughes out to 11/2 before Paddy Power pulled the plug.

Rumours had been sweeping the North East that Keane had walked out on Sunderland and failed to board the team bus for the journey against Saturday's opposition Blackburn Rovers.

Darren Haines, spokesman for the bookie, said:

"This has come from nowhere but punters have piled onto Keane since lunchtime.

"Roy looked to be sitting pretty in the midfield of the 'Sack Race' with other managers seemingly under far more pressure but, with his previous, there was always going to be a time come when punters jumped onto a Roy Keane walkout story like this."

Why did your mate do that?

I read a claim the other day that Dean Whitehead had gotten into a nightclub brawl with Chimbonda and Diouf over a perceived 'lack of respect for the club'.

Hope he kicked their heads in, if true.

Seems strange all this smoke surrounding Keane.

Phil Babb said it had to do with Cisse and Keane. Babb claimed he had got a phone call from a source

[wiw]

When did they close the market? It wasn't there when I checked early Fri afternoon
