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

At last someone who knows what’s happening…
Yorkbhoy
Apologies if I sounded narky last night …..
Morning folks
To suggest that RK was a smokescreen to get the real candidate to make a decision is giving our board to much credit.
RK would want a large transfer budget and control and final say over player purchases. Given that this was not the structure under Lenny, I would suggest Celtic had no reason to change their business model and RK politely (?) withdrew his interest.

Hopefully this will be the end of RK’s connection with CFC …..I was never convinced he was a CFC fan …..excellent , driven professional footballer…poor manager…most of all …extremely self interested …
It will be less of a gamble appointing Paul Hartley as manager than it was appointing Lenny four years ago
Gotta Be Steve Clarke….
It Would Be Madness To Spurn A Golden Opportunity To Sign Such An Excellent Coach…
With The Requisite Human Qualities, Man-Management Skills..
And Humility…!
A Man Who SHOULD Have Played For The Hoops…
Unlike Keane…Who Should NEVER Have Had That Honour…!
I Resent Bro.Walfrid’s Glorious Institution …
Becoming The Plaything Of Our Absentee Oirish Raj….
Seeking To Impose Keane On Us…
At A Time When Social Tensions Are Already High In OUR Country….
With The Devolution Vote And A Watershed General Election….
In The Next Twelve Months….
Bums On Seats….You Ask ?
Owen Coyle’s Granny For Physio…!
With A Sponge Blessed By Pope Benedict…..
And A Bottle Of Lourdes’ Water…
SORTED..!
Viva The PURPLE REVOLUTION..!
Victory In NEWARK..!
You Betcha..!

I agree entirely
This smokescreen business in , IMO , post revisionist nonsense
Taurangabhoy
Spot on, I’m with you. It’s all a smokescreen until the ink dries.
My vote’s for Pope Francis.
Hail Hail
Good morning friends from a pretty wet and grey East Kilbride
Hola Jobo. Dreich up dunblane way!
HH jamesgang
Morning folks.
Bucketing in Bonnybridge!
My plans of a wee bit diy on the hut this morning have been dashed so i am just gonna stay in bed with you lot…..mmm ;)
ok….sorry bout that!
Maybe we will find a new manager here……

Smokescreen….yeah, our dynamic duo….DD&PL, are so clever that nobody knows the details of their master plan.
Cant wait to see their wisdom magically unfold.
But wait….haven’t we been through this before, oh yeah, that’s right, I remember now.
Cheapest option, no transfer budget, but expected to get to CL group stage.
Good luck with that Peter.
HH
This sounds familiar…..

PL working with RK?
Never going to happen. Both have egos larger than Celtic.
It was a recipe fpr disaster.
Top of the morning to you all from a dull but dry Fife.
I was going to launch into a tirade about this and that but given that our words are being heeded in the Emerald City HQ I’ll just haud ma tongue.

“If we don’t have someone in place for the end
of the week then PL should come in for criticism,”
Even though we haven`t got a clue about what goes on behind the scenes.
I accept that we should be better informed by OUR Club but I do get fed up with the amount of opinion on here offered as a statement .
JJ
PS Weather a bit better here than in Jobo Ville, Bonnybridge and Dunblane so a wee cycle to Forfar for one of Cameron`s wonderful bridies is on the cards.
Cheerio for now.
JJ
That’s a big reason mrs jamesgang would move back to Smokieville in a heartbeat!
Enjoy your cycle and the reward at the end of it!
HH jamesgang
Morning all.
Nags – look away now;
I am off on holiday later this week, but it’s likely Mr Maynard will run on Friday at Market Rasen. Never one to put maximum faith in, he is now on a mark where he could just do something. Anyhow, I don’t know if I shall be able to post from my hols, but if I can, I shall put the latest info up as I get it. If I cant post, I shall text PF Ayr with the latest and you can make your own minds up.
Morning all. Very dreich down here at the moment.
White smoke from Parkhead?
White flag from Govan?
parkheadcumsalford
Arr in Gla as we speak mhate. You’d struggle to get a fire to take this morning I fear.
White flag? That u like the sound of!
HH jamesgang
White flag – I like the sound of!
Only 9 days now til the world cup starts?
Geezo…..where does the time go!
Nice wee video of THE greatest international team victory in here…..
http://videocelts.com/2014/06/blogs/international/brazil-expects-classic-world-cup-videos?
Morning all.
To me it’s beginning to look as if our next manager will be someone like Jackie Mac or Paul Hartley.
HH!!
Good morning from a dry but overcast north staffs
PL if you are looking for a cheap option Broonie as player manager
got to go paintbrush calling
Tallybhoy
We don’t need a manager, we have Peter Lawell :)
HH
TALLYBHOY
I’m sure the movers and shakers at Celtic Park are waiting to offer it to the manager of the World Cup winners.
For once,I agree with them.
Damp and overcast here in Bannockburn
But
It’s still a Jhoy to be a Bhoy :-)
Hail Hail
BMCUW
You mean Roy Hodgson?!
Seems a nice guy, but a bit dull.
I take it you never saw DD (the Irish one) at Cheltenham then?
HH!!
TALLYBHOY
Nope,one DD a day is enough for me!
Don’t Panic, the dynamic duo are on the case….deep below Gotham City, the caped crusader and the bhoy wonder are plotting and planning a huge smokescreen.
BIFF…POW…WHACK
Meanwhile…..The CL clock is ticking, will our hallowed heroes save the day with a astounding new strategy…will they defy the laws of economics…can they turn the clock back to the days of the old firm.
Tune in next week, to catch the end of the fiasco, and the collective groan of the Celtic fans as the new manager is unveiled.
BIFF…POW…RAJ
HH
THE GREEN MAN
Ok,you win. Your scenario is much more likely than mine.
Expectation management trumps dreams every time.
BMCUWP
Smokescreen….but no a very good wan:)
HH
Cowiebhoy.
How funny. Was just about to add a ps to the effect that no matter how dreich it was between dunblane and Gla you’d be claiming the sun was shining on the cowie Tim!
Tee hee.
Right. Work time. Laters Timdom.
HH jamesgang
JAMESGANG
The sun always shines on the righteous.
Jack and Victor as the new management team?!
With Winston as coach?
At least they’re all Tims.
HH!!
TALLYBHOY
The truth is out there.
And that suggestion was definitely out there!
Tallybhoy
Isa for PR and Naveed Marketing. Sorted :))
Getting bored
Scheidtless with this manager
Appointment crap
This should have been sorted
Before Neil left
