Impossible to break into the top four, says Keane

SUNDERLAND boss Roy Keane has admitted the rest of the Barclays Premier League clubs have little chance of breaking into the top four in the short term.

Echoing Newcastle counterpart Kevin Keegan’s comments in the wake of his side’s defeat by title contenders Chelsea on Monday, Keane voiced the opinion that even clubs with £50 million (€64m) to spend this summer could only scratch the surface.

Keegan caused something of a stir with his outburst and will have to explain himself to Magpies owner Mike Ashley at a meeting in London later today.
