Since the departure of Roy Keane from the Stadium of Light, the dust is now beginning to settle on what was a whirlwind exit by the ex Man United superstar, many questions have been asked and answered on the management style of Roy Keane, but another question to raise its head is that will Djibril Cisse stay on at the club once his season long loan deal is complete?

Upon Cisse's arrival at the club he made no secret that the main reason he came to Sunderland was to play for Roy Keane.  But comments made by Cisse after Sunderland's second 4 goal victory in two games, in which saw Cisse score his 8th Premiership goal in the famous Red and White stripes, making him 3rd in the list of top Premiership goal scorers this season.

The Frenchman had this to say 'At Marseille, we were in the bottom three and changed the manager. By the end of the season, we finished second. That just shows how things can turn around. You cope by staying together. (Keane leaving) has not changed my opinion on whether I want to stay at Sunderland.

It was very sad for me, but I like the club that much that it doesn't affect the way I think. 'I really want to take this club to the next level. The identity of the manager doesn't change that.

'I have grown to love the club. I love the fans and the way people are. They are really nice with me and so the least I can do is show them the same respect.'
