Sunderland boss Keane eager to put feet up

Sunderland boss Roy Keane admits he's looking forward to the summer break.

"I am ready for a break. I have had enough after the Bolton game, really had enough," Keane said.

"I didn't have a great summer last year trying to get my coaching badges, but I will have a break this summer. I will have a break.

"It has been a tough season for everyone, but the good thing about the Bolton game is that it just confirmed what I already know.

"To lose that many games in a season - and it's not as if we have been on a fantastic cup run - is not acceptable.

"We cannot kid ourselves. We are talking about Premiership level here, not non-league. How many times do you have to say the same things over again?

"People are getting fed up with me saying the same things and so am I.

"That's why I keep using the word 'character'. We have some good ones here at the club, and we need some more. We need more players, we need more quality."
