If you tolerate this then Keane may be next

THE LAST few weeks have taught everyone just what fan power can achieve at a football club in the North East of England.
If you tolerate this then Keane may be next

Newcastle United’s supporters have made a chairman sell up, disrupted things so much behind the scenes that they’ve lost four consecutive matches since their Messiah left and have even put their idol, Alan Shearer, off returning to the club.

So it was with some worry that I read Roy Keane’s quotes after last week’s dismal display against Northampton Town, when he stated that he wouldn’t tolerate abuse from fans. It led many elements of the media, who have been desperate for a ‘Keano Loses It’ story from the moment he walked through the Stadium of Light entrance, to suggest he was on the verge of quitting. I’ll bet it also had Sunderland’s press office reaching for the valium.
