Some of Sunderland's owners weren't unhappy with Roy Keane's departure last week.
Per-Magnus Andersson, the chairman of Drumaville, was reported to have claimed that Keane's "unstable personality" was hindering the club's progress.
"In the end the demands on him became too big, the pressure became too much," Andersson said in The Guardian.
"Personally I think that he has quite an unstable personality. He is not an Alex Ferguson, which many people think. He is a bit of a maverick and he didn't succeed on the pitch because of his pit-bull mentality."
