Sunderland
Founded: 1879
Ground: Stadium of Light, Sunderland
Manager: Roy Keane
Sunderland were destined for a relegation battle in 2005/06. Most clubs who gain promotion to the Premier League do. Manager Mick McCarthy was well aware of that, and all the Black Cats supporters were ready for a tough season. But no one expected them to win only 3 games throughout the entire season, which ended in a humiliating relegation, with a tally of a miserable 15 points.
After a disastrous start to the following season Roy Keane was appointed as manager. This was his first foray into management, and he has been an instant success.
Sunderland relentlessly climbed the table, and eventually gained automatic promotion. Last season they showed a tremendous amount of fighting spirit, which helped them to survive. Now Roy Keane will have to strengthen his defence if he wishes to become a mid-table side.
Bottom Line: Tough times ahead, but nothing is tougher than Roy Keane!
