Keane - No Sunderland regrets
New Ipswich manager Roy Keane has revealed he had no doubts about leaving former club Sunderland following 'interference with team affairs'.[LNB] Keane was appointed successor to Jim Magilton at Portman Road on Thursday as he returned to football four months after quitting the Stadium of Light.[LNB]The ex-Manchester United captain's decision to quit the Black Cats last December came as a shock to the Premier League.[LNB]But Keane has now confirmed that he knew it was time to leave Wearside following a breakdown in trust with chairman Niall Quinn and majority shareholder Ellis Short.[LNB]"One of the big conditions I had when I went to Sunderland was that there would be no interference with team affairs," said Keane at his first press conference.[LNB]"But when someone tries to move the goalposts, it is nothing to do with contracts. It is about a promise with people at the club.[LNB]Relax"I was disappointed because I had signed a three-year contract and the plan was on target - despite two or three poor results.[LNB]"Believe it or not, the results at the end had nothing to do with it.[LNB]"You have to be relaxed and you have to trust in the people you are working with.[LNB]"I am not going to go into it but I must have said it about 5,000 times when I met Niall and the owners of the club that I would do it my way, particularly in team affairs.[LNB]"You might be better asking Niall or Ellis Short the reasons why I left the football club.[LNB]"But the time had come for me to leave, without a shadow of a doubt."[LNB]
