Yes he's doing very well but lets just wait and see as you say. Season is going exactly the same way as Dowie and Palace did from a couple of seasons ago.

Done a fine job, think he has lifted them about 17 places.

They were relegation bound when he took over, now they are 4 point of automatic promotion.

Credit where it is due.

He'll have some success as a manager - on a Souness-type level. He's done a good job with Sunderland so far but he'll need to choose the right moment to move on before things turn pear-shaped.

The resident Keane-hater has spoken.

Move along, nothing to see here.

i think he may come up but then his team will be like a blackburn type team lurking between 15th-18th

Thick Mick is doing quite a good job at Wolves too. I don't think you can read too much into how managers perform in the championship to be honest. Same goes for players.

he has been allowed to bring in a lot of players and players wise it is a far better squad than thick mick had.

i'm not convinced that with the same squad that he had when he took over theyd be doing as well.

I would love him to manage United in the not too distant future.

So it's your theory that better players will produce better results?

Crazy!

Sunderland only came down last year, Keane has spent a lot of money (more than most in that league). They should go up but it wouldn't mean he is a super star manager. Let's see if when they come up his team perform as well as Paul Jewell's in his first year in the Prem or Coppell's.

If Mourinho get no credit for managing a winning team that's outspending their rivals, why should Keane? Oh that's right, because he's untouchable.

Let's wait and see before we all shoot our load eh? There's loads of managers who have done "reasonably well" which is all you can really desribe his management tenure as - so far.

Sadly it's allowed to buy players.

I don't think anyone in this thread can be described as having "shot his load."

early signs are very promising.

he looks the part more and more.

A blind man can see he has something

point being you can't really judge a manager when it's in the championship and you've been given more money than any other championship sides and brought in 10+ new faces.

will he do as well as say coppell has in a tougher league with similar resources, it's far too soon to judge him as a manager

Do you act the @#%&! on purpose at every opportunity? Credit where credit is due. West Ham have lots of money and still haven't been able to get themselves out the bottom. Maybe we should look at it as money well spent and good moves in the transfer market by Keane.

FFS no one is judging him. People were just saying that Sunderland are looking good at the moment and Keane is doing well so far. You can't deny that.

He's doing well. He looks £#%&!ed already though.

but with the players he's brought in, you'd expect him to do well in the championship with 25 to 30,000+ every home game.

yes he's winning, but I would say it should be expected given the circumstances.

I think he'll do ok as a manager, but i'm not sure how he will react given a run of defeats in the prem though and we'll certainly know more after a full season in the prem about keano's managerial capabilities
