What has he spent, 10-12 million on players, reputed to be on 2 million a year wages. Sundireland are operating at premiership levels.

He's spent more than most other Championship clubs but I'd hardly call it bankrolling. Birmingham spent a lot of money too despite relegation. He inherited a squad with zero morale and a lot of duds so he's done well to turn it around.
You can't say their not backing him to the hilt but bankrolling him to the title is a little ott.

If they get into the premiership they are guaranteed 30 million so in all fairness it could be money well spent.
Should they fail to get into the top flight it will be interesting to see if he will have the same support next year. (If he is still around that is)

Well if you look at this http://www.soccerbase.com/transfers_by_team.sd ?teamid=2493
They've only spent less than 2million. Try to put spin against Keane again are you Pol, go back to your Munster/Ireland/rugby/Man U bashing.

Oh actually I just realised re-reading my post there I thought it was Pol who made this thread but its actually Lamps. Strange how I confused the two

Discuss what?
That you have made another factually incorrect post?
I'm starting to think the real Lamps is gone on holiday and stayed logged in and that pseudo Lamps is making all these mistakes.
The old Lamps would never have been this amateurish.

OK Mr. Pedant, he spent £7.7 Million on players, and he sold players for £6.1 million.
A net spend of £1.6 million.
In theory, you could say that as you didn't mention the currency in your first ambiguous post that £7.7 million could equate to €10 to €12 million, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.
But the bottom line is he spent £1.6 million on players.

where did i say net spend, they also left some fees as undisclosed, stern john at least a million, the celtic lads, another million.
And if you want to be pedantic, most of the outgoings were before Keane arrived.
Keane is being bankrolled and paid more than most premiership managers.
Poor Aldo did a better job with Tranmere

seriously like what are you on, they had lost their first four games, before he became manager, and now he has them in the playoff postion:rolleyes: , and its ok to have the money to spend, but for the players to gel is keanes job, and i think he is doing a fine job.
now let ya carry on with your abu wankfest

If he was being 'bankrolled' the becks would have signed on the dotted line.
How do you know all the 'undisclosed' figures? Are you Eamonn Dunphy?
I suggest you go on www.readytogo.net/smb (http://www.readytogo.net/smb) - unless you are keano1966.

Not that it would matter anyway even if it was true. To take any team from last to fourth is some achievement for any manager in his first half season. Jury's out till the end though looking good so far.
