What Keane has done so far is build a team good enough to get promoted and then a team could enough to stay up. You cant expect top premier league players to join a championship side or a struggling premier league side. Therefore Sunderland need to improve the standard of their players each season in stages as it becomes easier to attract higher quality players. The next stage is to compete for a top half position. If they do that then even better players may want to join Sunderland next season as then the target will be UEFA cup. All these teams are his, It has nothing to do with players being pushed on him or other clubs. Its simply pragmatic management. And I doubt any manager would turn down signing Ronaldhino even if iit was next more than a 1% chance. What a bollox report.
