Keane did a ‘fantastic job’ at Sunderland, says Bruce

SUNDERLAND boss Steve Bruce has defended his former Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane who he said did a “fantastic job” as manager of the Black Cats.

Sunderland returned to the Premier League under the Corkman but some supporters thought he wasted millions in the transfer market and were not happy with some of his comments as he departed.

Bruce has been at Sunderland a month today and in his short time in charge he’s discovered just how difficult it is to attract players to Wearside and why Keane needed to spend so much money.
