Roy Keane is putting on a brave face having been given the knock-back by several players, the latest was Wigan Athletic's highly rated fullback Leighton Baines.
The Black Cats have also failed in their quest to capture Scottish goalkeeper Craig Gordon from Hearts because they couldn't match the club's £10m valuation.
Former Preston striker David Nugent also snubbed Sunderland, having signed for Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth.
You do wonder if Keane has been given the full support of his board of directors in financial terms. Niall Quinn told the Black Cats fans that they would back their manager, while they've talked the talk, they have clearly not walked the walk.
As things stand Sunderland are bound to be among the bookies favourites for relegation.
