Carlos Edwards and Phil Bardsley have lifted the lid on Roy Keane's dressing room at Sunderland. The former Black Cats boss was linked with a sensational return to the Stadium of Light last year following Lee Johnson's departure, but the club appointed Alex Neil who would later lead the club back to the Championship.
It was in the second tier that Keane made his name as red and white boss, winning the Championship title after taking the Black Cats from the relegation zone back to the Premier League. Keane is renowned for his gritty man management of players and winning mentality.
Speaking to Four Four Two, Edwards said: "He wanted us to give everything. When I met him for the first time, I was excited and he laid out everything he wanted to achieve - he thought he could get us promoted. It was a no-brainer decision.
