Sunderland boss Roy Keane has lost patience with some of his players and will be wielding the axe over the summer months.

Despite the successful campaign and Sunderland retaining their Premiership status following promotion last season, Keane is not pleased with some of the side's performances and intends to make changes in the summer.

"We've lost 22 games this season and people keep telling me we've had a good season, but I'm lucky to still be in a job," he said.

Keane says there will be players moved out of the club by the end of the month.

"That will be done this week - if not this week, then the following week," he told the BBC. "It's irrelevant to me whether players are under contract. If they are, you just pay them up to go because you want certain characters.

"There will be changes in the summer because I'm saying the same thing week in, week out and I'm really bored

"You pay them to come and you pay them to go and that's what we'll have to do. I'll have a very busy week."
