Fulop backs Sbragia to be top Cat

Sunderland keeper Marton Fulop has revealed caretaker boss Ricky Sbragia would have the full backing of the players if he was appointed as Roy Keane’s replacement.

The Scot has quickly mobilised the squad since being asked to step into the breach in the wake of Keane’s resignation, and was rewarded after a battling performance in defeat at Manchester United with a rousing display in last Saturday’s 4-0 demolition of West Brom.
