Roy Keane: I don’t want hot WAGS at Sunderland. Bastard!
Sunderland manager Keano’s latest tirade is priceless:
“We have had one or two players this year and their wives are clearly part of the package.
“We had one player this summer who didn’t even have the courtesy to call us back because his wife wanted to move to London - and shopping was mentioned.”
Keano, I hope that you told his destination club this tidbit.
Could it be David Healy Roy Keane’s talking about? He’s moved to London, and there’s also the Manchester United connection (Healy was with us in the late 90’s). Since Keano’s looking for a striker to move to Sunderland, Healy is a good bet for this.
Mind you, Healy is a good player and I’ve rarely heard his character being called to question, so it could be that Healy just picked Sanchez over Keano, didn’t have the heart to tell Keano and most of all, didn’t want to go to a club with the 15-points record (Sunderland do have a bad rep in the Premier League).
“That happens at the big clubs as well. I could name four big players and clearly their wives and girlfriends are running their lives because they are doing these photoshoots and that kind of stuff.
“They say they are not comfortable doing it and are being dragged along. Well don’t do it.”
Bastard doesn’t name them though. So let’s speculate - your guess is as good as mine.
Far more interesting was this bit about the Sunderland manager possibly moving to Juventus when he was with United:
“A couple of years ago I nearly went to Juventus. People spoke to me about Turin and told me Milan would be a nicer place to go.
“I told them I wasn’t going for the shops, I am going because it is Juventus.
“If there is nothing to do then find something to do. Someone once told me that people who are bored are boring.”
Oh well, the Premiership will be very interesting this year, if only for Keano’s rants.
I’d like to see one of those pitch-side manager scuffles this season - I shudder to think of what would happen to Mourinho or Wenger if they took on Keano. In fact, I somehow want Mourinho and Keano to take each other on - and I suspect Mourinho will be smart enough to avoid anything like that 
Sunderland vs Chelsea - can’t wait for it…
…i think keano makes a fair point here..it isn’t the first time similar problems have risen for managers in the EPL from wives who are too nosy and such…we all know about the most common case study in that of Mrs.Becks aka posh spice…and in the end Fergie had enough and bye bye Becks
Beckhams in LA? lol
Can we NOT turn this into a beckham-bashing session?
How about discussing the girl in the pic up top (Rosicky is a lucky bastard) or which players in the ‘big’ Prem clubs are being led by their wives…
Ahmed -
You’re a rabble rouser. Too bored with the Premiership already and you wanna replace it with manager slugfests? For shame!
Spiral - don’t you want to see Keano beat the crap out of someone?
Where are the United fans!?!?!?
Didn’t an Iraqi footballer (Younis Mahmood) recently turn down a move to Sunderland because his family prefered to stay in Baghdad?
I AM a bit bored with the Prem though
Or maybe just less tolerant of Spurs and West Ham 
I wish Beckham had gone to a club in England, at least then we could see Posh fighting with Cheryl Cole for queen of the WAGS.
Guys! Get it together! I come here for football, not for society gossip about who’s catfighting whom!
As for Keano, him beating the crap out of someone won’t be anything new, unless its SAF.
haha
Keano vs Mourinho for me.
Anyway, like you said, this is about the football.
Liverpool winning 1-0 away to Toulouse at half-time.
Robert -
Baghdad is probably safer right now than the UK after what happened in London & Glasgow recently. (Honest!)
Over at vital football we learn that it’s Fulham defender Chris Baird (Southampton’s star player of last season) that Keano’s having a go at. Chris turned down a move to Sunderland to go to London / Fulham.
Keano sums it up perfectly, a muppet called chris baird went to fulham to play in an antiquated stadium with around 15,000 fans because his wife told him to do it!
Spiral, I think you may be a little off base with that comment.
Where are the United fans!?!?!?
At Red Rants. I think.
Robert & Ballin’ Billy -
