[TheMaraudingDog]

He's just text me, he's gone

[TBM]

Apparently he is going to take the Newcastle job - that'll please the makems

Sunderland Echo says:

Contrary to rumours in other media today, Roy Keane has NOT walked out on Sunderland Football Club.

Other suggestions that he had not travelled with the team for tomorrow's game at Blackburn Rovers because of a fall-out, are similarly wide of the mark.

Sunderland face Rovers for the second time in four days tomorrow, when the two teams play their Premier League game at Ewood Park and Keane is expected to be in the dug-out as normal.

[Harry Carry]

He has gone - Just confirmed on SSN.

[FiNeRaIn]

He's joined the MoTD team as a pundit.

[Starfish]

I have not found this anywhere else (other than what RR posted).

[TFF]

I think it might be a bit of 'fun'

Mission Accomplished!

Red Issue’s task this morning was to spread the word that Keane had not travelled and had walked out and now Sunderland have come out and denied this. Skills

Gone to walk his dog

[Dirk Gently]

I can understand where the confusion's come in - someone read M-A-L-P-A-S as K-E-A-N-E and S-W-I-N-D-O-N as S-U-N-D-E-R-L-A-N-D. Easily done!

If that's true TMD then fair play. Might've cost a few Geordies their weekend beer money too!

Paddy Power has suspended betting on the Premier League 'Sack Race' following widespread rumours and a flood of bets on a Roy Keane walkout at Sunderland.

Keane had been sitting reasonably comfortably in the Sack Race pack at 14/1 at lunchtime on Friday while Mark Hughes headed the betting at 3/1.

However sustained betting on the Irishman drove his price all the way down to 4/1 favourite with Hughes out to 11/2 before Paddy Power pulled the plug.

Rumours had been sweeping the North East that Keane had walked out on Sunderland and failed to board the team bus for the journey against Saturday's opposition Blackburn Rovers.

It wouldn't be the first team Keane has walked out, having famously quit Mick McCarthy's Ireland World Cup squad in 2002.

Darren Haines, spokesman for the bookie, said: "This has come from nowhere but punters have piled onto Keane since lunchtime.

"Roy looked to be sitting pretty in the midfield of the 'Sack Race' with other managers seemingly under far more pressure but, with his previous, there was always going to be a time come when punters jumped onto a Roy Keane walkout story like this."

All this has pushed Gary Megson out to 11/2 which is looking quite tempting

I am not a big fan of Keane but he did, at least, make that name for himself.
