Sunderland Keane on Roy
Roy Keane is being lined up for a sensational return to the Sunderland dugout.
Manchester United legend Keane, 50, started his managerial career at the Stadium of Light in 2006.
He resigned in December 2008 and was appointed Ipswich boss in April 2009.
After being sacked by the Tractor Boys in January 2011, the Irishman had spells as assistant manager with his country, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest before focusing on TV work.
But the Black Cats are keen to lure him back to management after axing Lee Johnson following last weekend’s 6-0 drubbing at Bolton.
Heading into Saturday’s visit from Doncaster, Sunderland are third in the League One table — five points adrift of leaders Rotherham.
Talk of the Toon
Callum Wilson was glued to his TV on transfer deadline day as Newcastle continued to splash the cash.
Wilson, 29, picked up a calf injury in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at St James’ Park in December — and boss Eddie Howe confirmed last month that he will be sidelined for eight weeks.
But the former Bournemouth hitman cannot wait to return to play alongside the club’s new recruits.
He said: “Watching deadline day, I think it was the first time I was actually aware who was joining the club.
“I was looking forward to the club bringing in another striker as well as Chris Wood [who joined in mid-January]. I think we needed one more.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t get that in the attacking area but I back Woody from now until the end of the season and also back myself.
“Bring the competition in the door because it is nice and it does push you. It does take you to that next level and I think it brings out the best in you.”
