How can renewing a player who has demonstrably and undeniably shown himself to be awful be in anyway a positive thing?
It's nothing other than pathetic. And if Dyche were still manager and done this they'd be absolute uproar.
…because we have so many players out of contract, can’t replace them all and there’s nobody ready to replace Keane at this stage from the youth ranks.
He’ll only play if those ahead of him are unavailable, he started the last two games both of which we won, including keeping a clean sheet at Newcastle who were desperate for a win to guarantee Champions League.
I’m no Keane fan, I was critical of him when his star shone brightest a few seasons ago but I fully understand this decision.
