A cup of tea may not be everyone's idea of the ideal way to celebrate keeping Sunderland in the Premier League but then again, Roy Keane isn't everyone is he?
You have to admire Keane sometimes. While others celebrated the fact the Black Cats would not be spinning straight back down to the Championship for a third successive time on Saturday night, the manager was more interested in what he was going to get from the board in terms of transfer fees.
Clearly, all those years of losing his temper on the football field masked an astute politician because Keane knows he is bargaining from a position of strength. Make his demands now, when recent success is still intoxicating for those controlling the purse strings and he is more likely to get everything he asked for. Clever.
While others reflect on the success that has already been achieved, Keane is always looking forward to what future success can still be achieved. It's an admirable quality for a manager, but does he actually ever enjoy anything that he achieves? I hope so, otherwise it would all be pretty meaningless in the end wouldn't it?
If you can't enjoy something, what is the point? For example, if you love chocolate but feel guilty while you eat it, you are ruining the enjoyment you had in eating it in the first place.
I suppose it's a bit like heroin, you are constantly chasing the high while always worrying about where the next hit is going to come from. Not that I'm calling Keano a junkie of course!
There are those among you - chiefly Newcastle fans - who will point to the fact Keane has already spent more than £40m to keep the club up in the first place. They have a a point, he has spent a lot of money on a mixed bag of players, but how much have Middlesbrough spent and they are still in trouble?
Yes, Keane has thrown lots of money around, but the point is he has offered value for money if only because Sunderland are still in the Premier League and have the opportunity - for the first time since Peter Reid was manager - to try and build on that.
As Keane himself commented after the 3-2 win over Boro, the potential of a club which can attract more than 40,000 fans when things aren't going particularly well is huge.
It is up to him to try and unlock that potential. He hasn't opened the door yet, but at least he appears to have the right set of keys in his hand.
