Roy Keane has worked his magic with the Sunderland side

Monday April 30,2007

By Tim Gow

TWO Manchester United legends are back in the big time now Sunderland and Birmingham have won promotion to the Premiership.

Roy Keane has steered Sunderland from the brink of oblivion into the top flight, while Steve Bruce has become only the fourth manager to return a club straight back to the Premiership.

Chairman Niall Quinn, who appointed Keane just 10 months ago when Sunderland were bottom of the Championship, said: “This is terrific because everyone played a part, none more so than Roy. It shows you what can be done if you work as a team.”

“It’s a great performance,” said Birmingham chairman David Gold. “We’ve been vindicated for refusing to panic and for keeping faith in Steve.”
