Quinn: faith in Keane
Quinn: faith in Keane
Niall Quinn has given a vote of confidence to Sunderland boss Roy Keane despite the Black Cats' poor form in the Premiership and they're currently languishing at the wrong end of the table.
âWe have a young manager who will be brilliant,â Quinn said in The Times.
âThere seems to be a panic around the foot of the table, but we wonât be doing that. We will keep learning and being professional.
âItâs incredible what has been happening to managers. We thought it was a bit crazy a couple of years ago with the sackings, but it certainly is now.
âIf you give someone the job, they have to be given the chance to see it through and Sammy Lee and Chris Hutchings didnât get that.
âThe Premiership is so vital for clubs. When youâre there and then it goes, there is a danger of your whole club being in trouble because of the wage bill you can be left with.
âIt used to be hard, but now it is dreadful and that causes pressure. Three teams are going to burn and three teams will really be in big trouble at the end of the season.
âI feel we are getting structures in place for the long term at Sunderland, but it is a long, slow process of building. It will take time.â
