Roy Keane 's presence at West Bromwich Albion 's game with Preston North End in midweek has set the rumour mill going as he targets a return to management.
The Irishman, who has forged out an impressive career as a pundit, has previously enjoyed promotion from the Championship with Sunderland, but has not been a manager since being dismissed by Ipswich Town in January 2011. Several clubs have already made changes in the dugout this season though as individuals continue to come under pressure.
One of those is Steve Bruce, whose West Brom side are sat in the relegation zone having won one of their 13 league games. The veteran manager can ill afford to drop many more points with the Baggies seeking a return to the top flight, although he appears to have the confidence of club chief executive Ron Gourlay.
