Sunderland boss Roy Keane is calm over the progress of his new contract talks.
"Contract talks have opened so I'm told, but I'm as relaxed about it now as I've always been," said the former Manchester United midfielder on Sunderland's official website.
"Some people have suggested it's about my money but it has never been about that.
"Obviously, I want to know that things are going in the right direction at the club and I think they are."
