Reports out of Ireland that Roy Keane is no longer in the running for the Celtic job are correct. The former Sunderland and Ipswich boss asked not to be considered as Celtic have tightened their shortlist over the past few days.
The overwhelming majority of opinion on the blog and elsewhere is that Celtic would be taking an enormous risk with Roy Keane, feedback which I know has reached the club. These decision are all risky, and there are no guarantees we will be able to do better than Roy, but I’d be prepared to take that risk.
Let me know if you would like to attend the CQN Question and Answer evening at the Manor Club, Wimbledon, on 21 June, with a confirmed line-up of Lisbon Lion, John Hughes, and our own Brogan Rogan and Auldheid, celticquicknews@gmail.com

Roy croppie
Does it count if i say I heard that from a friend of Rks wife Or does the voice in my head count as a source? :)
Steve Clarke
Good coach ….good football guy
A bit lacking in charisma IMO
Looks a lot like Che Guevara
Going by the last few days on here the voice in your head seems like A1 intelligence :)

Happy Keane won’t be coach as his managerial record is poor.
Not to fussed about lack of spend either being cited,
We need a modern tactically aware coach,
The SPL is practically a given,
The priority should be a coach who can start the integration of our promising youth,
One who has an awareness of modern science in terms of fitness and tactics.
Clarke had West Brom playing pretty but ineffective football.
McKay it was hard to discern a style in Cardiffs play but his environment was difficult.
Lambert again in difficult circumstances but Villa were lacking substance.He did play youngsters though.
Rosler i know nothing about but he did a good job for Wigan.Doubt our frugal owners would pay release fee.
Garcia i have no Knowledge but he did well at Brighton.
Collins man management leaves a lot to be desired,
We have very astute businessmen running the club but they lack footballing knowledge.
The business side is running well time for the footballing side to be improved.
TBJ- Sticking the head on somebody is about the same ban as calling a player a fa##£, still waiting for another manager to get done for similar…..
Weefra the offer is for anyday ;)

By all accounts shes a lovely lovely lady but you wouldnt want to be on the wrong side………
Paul.
Most interestiing thing today is your suggestion that the Board paid heed to the less than enthusiastic welcome that the news of interest in Keane was receiving from a number of fans.
Will this spirit of listening extend to paying heed to those fans who wish to see Celtic distance itself from any ‘Old Firm ‘ association and wish to see Rangers in any shape or form dead and buried?
“If you’re not going to pick me first then I’m taking my ball and playing with the boys up my own close.”
“By not actually offering me the job, and just talking to me the same as all the other potentials, Celtic made me feel like I wasn’t as important as I think I am.”
Roy Keane as Celtic manager would have made NFL’s tenure seem like an episode of Jackanory. NFL negotiated his playing career without (apart from Shearer’s kick) any controversy until he came to Scotland to play for Celtic. Keane, no stranger to on field conflicts, a man renowned for having little patience, a quick tongue and a combative demeanour, would have had the referees ombudsman on speed dial, and been banjoed or banjoed someone every weekend – especially if he lived in Edinburgh, Aiden.

Cheers I’ll let him know! :)
John Collins at Celtic in a management position? We’re off to lie in a darkened room now………….
I think people should stop searching for conspiracy in Roy Keane resignation of today.
Dermot Desmond was afraid about the sale of the season tickets and decided to give Celtic coach job to two Swedish physios. Fanally, it’s Sweden but definitely not Larrson.
Could RK stand the competition?
Why are people so keen on Larsson? His managerial record is worse than Keane’s and there’s nothing about his playing demeanor that suggests he’d be a great motivator.
Fan-a-tic.
Most of the managers you mentioned had the misfortune of having teams that were mostly cannon fodder to the big boys of the EPL.
How might they react if they went into most games as favourites. Latter stages of Europe excluded of course
Looks a lot like che…
Hope it wasn’t wee giggsy!:)

I‘ve no problem with living within our means nor with a buy low sell high strategy. I do wonder if we are buying too cheap though.
We surely need to review a formula that seems to allow about 30p in the transfer income pound to be spent on new players. If we want to attract a half decent manager we might need to think about a 60p in the pound equation…
Not just John MacKay at it. Wee Rhona on Embra STV reckons ‘Celtic’s loss is Ireland’s gain’ Whit?
O.K. Rhona hen, using your logic, I just lost £30m the other week
.I never actually had £30m but I had a Euromillions lottery ticket, so I was in the running until some other bassa won it. See where I’m going Rhona? ……..(if yer lurkin)

I would like to see hammill try to stick the head on an tearmann ;)
BSR,
That’s more like you.
I too was trying to take positives out of a fairly negative Keane portfolio.
It’s what we do.
Of course the next Celtic manager is out there, but, I hope it is someone who is on the way up in the game, perhaps from Europe, with a mentor/ dir of football figure by his side.
There is nobody in Scotland that I fancy.
I try not to refer to anecdote or get upset about my own hypothesis of what COULD be the story,
As for “what I heard”, well, I did hear stuff, but I was sworn to secrecy! : > )
I have just arrived back from Dublin, where all the talk was of Keane taking our job.
I genuinely believe that the talks were leaked from the FAI camp and I don’t think Celtic would have been too happy about that.
Wee Fra
Good to see your OK mate
Steve Clarke for me lads – good coach & good manager with European experience – basically all I’m looking for TBH
Weeminger
Why not …genuine CFC man …great role model
As for his managerial record …not very good
The records of the other candidates are patchy
Tbj
Why. What did an Tearmann do on you
marspapa
What a lovely offer, cannie believe you said that. Thank you very much, but we have other animals that need our full attention, and the longest we can really stay away is a couple of hours at best. This ole retirement is brilliant, never worked so hard in my life. lol. Thank you so much for your offer, but it doesn’t mean we can’t meet up at some time. :-))
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
does Lampard come with clarke ?
I can exclusively reveal that the reason that Roy Keane turned down Celtic was that we sent a birthday cake but did not have Dermot Desmond jumping out of it in a leotard.
Roy is furious at the lack of respect shown to him and is considering his options.
Clink
Have you met him … He’s mahoosive
If hammill draped the nut on him he would be lucky if his head contacted the big chaps pecs
cliftonville celt
Thank you, we are all well. Hope you and yours are very well also. :-))
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.

How are you my good mhan? Well I presume? :-))

Agree with what you say but most EPL coaches seem one dimensional and tactically poor
The failure of EPL teams in Europe was not down to bad luck.They all lost to teams with a fraction of their budgets.
The spend,spend approach seems to be the EPL way.
We need someone who puts the integration of our youth set up as priority.
Only Lambert of EPL coaches did that out of necessity .

I hope your still not smarting at me. Glad you back on the board. You have been missed but you missed nothing. Well you missed half the CQN community confidently predicting RK appointment and the other half stating that the Pope has nothing on the board when it comes to infallability
HH
TBJ
I was thinking more of his knackers
TBJ, it’sgood someone else mentioning Hammill. He struts about like he’s a football player then when he gets the ball he doesn’t know what to do with it other than blooter the thing or an opposition player.
He should have had two red cards in the Ross County game, two yellows for not giving the ball back twice & a straight red for the barge on Adams.
Guys like Hammill, Richie Foran, Frazer Wright and Lasley getting paid for impersonating footballers is one of the reasons why our game is not progressing.
I have no thoughts on who our next manager will be as I haven’t a clue about the club’s targets and the inner workings of appointing a manager. .
I have made it plain previously that I did not fancy Keane.
However, we are still left with the question of who of any substance is going to take a job where every season you will be expected to sell but still perform the trick of qualifying for the Champions League?
Paul ,
You say that “Celtic have tightened their shortlist over the past few days” – how do you know this? What number are we down to now?
How do you know that “Celtic would be taking an enormous risk with Roy Keane, feedback which I know has reached the club. “
awe naw
If I was going to fall out with you I would have done that years ago. :-) No offence taken and I hope no one took any offence from me, which is the last thing I would wish on anyone on the blog, as I hope you agree. How you and the family, all tikketyboo I would think??? :-))
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
pfayr – all true but that should make Tom Boyd as popular a candidate. Except he’s not. I prefer the idea of aa coach with aa strong rep like Clarke.
Weefra
Your always the one doing the inviting , i thought it was time you were an ” invitee”
We could arrange it for a week-end , i could pick both of you up and drop you off laters , let yous two love burds get a wee drink , anyhoo the offer is there and its sincere , take care ….aff oot :))

Clarke has no charisma whatsoever ….CFC is a massive job ……doesn’t do it for me
