Roy Keane is due at a press conference in Dublin this afternoon and he is sure to be asked about Daily Mail reports this afternoon that he is set to be appointed Celtic manager as early as tomorrow.
It’s pretty clear Celtic have spoken to Keane but NO ONE HAS THE JOB YET, the Club are still speaking to a number of candidates.
We’re going to remain hostages to news reports for a while. The sooner things are sorted the better.
If you missed it earlier………
Lisbon Lion John Hughes is joining Brogan Rogan, Auldheid and Angela Haggerty for a CQN Question and Answer evening at the Manor Club, Wimbledon, on 21 June. The event is ticket only, so let me know if you would like to attend, celticquicknews@gmail.com

Roy Keane??
Jesus Christ NO, just no!
I paddy – hadn’t seen odds on the Big JC! Thought the Holy Father was the closest we’d got to in terms of celestial manager old experience
can you not just say FFS.this is a football club we are talking about here not the end of the world.
as I have said before on here if you keep shouting his name he might just say WIT.
Dead simple. Keane has the only qualification neccessary. Dero likes him.
Mwd
Syria?
Please hurry up with the answer. I’m losing the will to live.
Moonbeams:
I try not to get involved because whatever will be will be, but although a wee bit tedious it is the most immediately concerning issues regards our club at the moment. Go to the pub and the conversation will no doubt turn to who’ll be the next Celtic manager at some stage.
Whoever it is, I just want them to put a footballing playing team on the field.
I miss Tommy Burns in so many ways.

gary67- Keane will know how PL operates, he won’t put up with him playing Football Manager 2014, along with John Park. DD would need to change and let the manager be his own man. That may be an expensive option DD won’t want to do. If he does change the set up, it could be the reason JP possibly moving to Norwich.
An expensive option for DD.
It would be like exposing aa vampire to a cross.

Well, well a fleg debate but with a twist…
CELTIC…an Irish club founded in Scotland by Irishmen resident in their adopted home town city…Glasgow.
We are not an Irish club as per the rules of football
Celtic have never been affiliated to any Irish association, or had a home base in Ireland
In Roy Keanes defence….what positives could he bring?
1) Guaranteed there’d be no slackers in the team
2) There’d be no one standing still on the park cos they didn’t have the ball…even the keeper
3) European experience…if only as a player
4) Good contacts
5) Would take ABSOLUTELY no bull shit from ANYONE….MSM included
!!bada bing!!
Likewise Moyes, who I think in DD’s number one choice. Can’t see Park being at CP much longer.
Zbyszek:
I have a Polish friend here in Australia, a teetotal friend. He had to do national service in the Polish army back in the 70/80’s. He was a tank driver. He was telling me that often they never got fed but they were given an allowance to go feed themselves. He told me nobody ever bought food with their allowance, they all bought vodka. He told me that it got so cold that without the alcohol in their system to negate the cold they just could not function. He told me about some who touched the tanks without gloves on.
He hates alcohol now but loves the sun.
Keane
Please no
Although he would tear the
Scottish mainstream media
a new one
they would brick it fae him
I don’t want Keane. He has never shown anything but a total arrogance, imo. Great players, which he was, again imo, seldom make for great managers and he hasn’t exactly covered himself in glory at Sunderland or Ipswich. Surely we can better……
moyes please
quonno-G67- Seems to me if DD does want a big name like Moyes or Keane, PL will have to take a step back and let the manager manage, which is what I’ve wanted for a long time, but not with Keane to be honest :(,
At the Fiorentina-Celtic Big Cup quarter final in Firenze in 1970. Celtic fans were in a low-level stand, being spat upon (and worse) by Fiorentina fans above us. Teams came out and a band played the national anthems. It’s the only time I’ve seen a group of Celtic fans belt out GSTQ, but we had to do something to show we were there!
Regrets,I’vehadafewCSC
parkheadcumsalford
Carlo Anceloti, Pep Guardiola, Diego Simeone, 3 of the 4 CL semi finalist managers, all great players
I would think that as Paul says Celtic are talking to a number of candidates. Some of those will be people in the club’s opinion would make prospective Celtic managers/head coaches. Celtic will probably explain what the job entails. How they are expected to work within “the system”. If said individual is agreeable to those terms then they make it onto clubs preferred candidate shortlist. Celtic will list in order of preference and offer job in this order until they get a new manager/head coach. Makes sense to me. This is the modern game and we are at the forefront. We live within our means. Others in the uk are starting to catch up with what we started 5-6 years ago. Liverpool being the prime uk example.
Must be time to throw Roy Aitken’s name in the hat.

———————————————————————————————————
No 5 is the imperative no matter who the manager is – MON knew that and was the better of MSM much to their inner rage, Keane is possibly the only candidate with the balls to fight the anti-Celtic agenda in Scotland

Many extolling the virtues of Keano as a manager
Doesn’t really square with his abysmal managerial record
Expensive option

‘fraid so. Desperate circumstances require desperate measures.

The Saltire has been flying at Celtic Park for as long as I have been supporting Celtic. And I am not talking about the Scottish version which used to fly above the old Jungle, and is now to be seen above the “new” Stand, I am talking about our versions of it, white with green cross, or one currently available in the Superstore, green with white cross, which is my own favourite. The official Celtic one usually has “Champions” on it somewhere, looking forward to seeing that one raised in August. Again!
I have doubts on Roy Keane fitting our player development model.
That means handling guys learning their trade, being patient with the standard Keane had for himself and expected of others.
Then there are the older guys who Keane might expect more from and clash with.
Someone suggested earlier Celtic might want to change the model to cater for Keane ‘ s personality but the model has brought consistent success and that means CL group qualification for the next 3 years at least.
Will Keane bring that or put it at risk?
Unless there are indicators that he has mellowed and is ready to power down his forcefulness with players – quite happy if he fights his and their corner with Board – I’d not be upset if he was not the guy but would be ok giving him the chance subject to knowing he appreciated what he was getting into.
We needed a scrapper when Lennon was appointed, not sure that is as high on the requirements list now.
Guys following Keane ‘ s career more than I will no doubt comment.
How did they know the words ?
Googybhoy- got sorted for Manchester, thanks HH

I see you anticipated my final comment.
Any updates since then though from anyone.?

Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu.
For we’re going away from the Holy Ground and the girls we love so true.
And we’ll sail the salt seas over and we’ll return for sure,
To see again the girls we love and the Holy Ground once more.
Fine girl you are!
You’re the girl I adore, And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
Fine girl you are!
And now the storm is raging and we are far from shore;
And the poor old ship is tossin’ about and the rigging is all tore.
And the secrets of my mind, my love, you’re the girl I do adore,
And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
Fine girl you are!
You’re the girl I adore, And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
Fine girl you are!
And now the storm is over and we are safe and well
And we’ll go into a public house and we’ll sit and drink like hell!.
And we’ll drink strong ale and porter and we’ll make the rafters roar,
And when our money is all spent we’ll go to sea once more.
Fine girl you are!
You’re the girl I adore, And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
Fine girl you are!

My aunt lives in Montana. 100% fruit loop. Always knew I’d have to tell her to come inside if it was raining….to that I can now add, come inside as we’ve just experienced the biggest Temperature swing ever recorded.
It’s catchy. Sort of….

Celtic: Roy Keane would be ‘good man’ for job, says Charlie Mulgrew
Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Roy Keane would be a “good man” to succeed Neil Lennon at Celtic, according to defender Charlie Mulgrew.
Keane, now number two to Martin O’Neill with the Irish national side, is among a host of names linked with the Scottish Premiership club’s vacancy.
“I’m sure he’d be a good man for the job,” Celtic’s Mulgrew said.
“As a player, I think the club needs a big character and he definitely fits the bill.”

Charlie Mulgrew
Celtic defender
Since ending his playing career at Celtic after a short spell at the club in 2006, former Manchester United midfielder Keane has had management experience with Sunderland and Ipswich Town.
Lennon left Celtic after winning his third straight league title and Keane, 42, is among those linked with succeeding him at Celtic Park.
Mulgrew said it was important Celtic made the right appointment ahead of the upcoming European qualifiers when the club will seek to secure Champions League football.
“He’s a strong character and probably the type of guy that would be good for the job,” he said.
“Of course, we want a manager as soon as possible because it gets us prepared for the Champions League qualifiers.
“But I’m sure the club will take its time to get the right man.
“As long as it’s a big character. I’m sure the club will look into it and find the right man for the job.”

I would imagine that Roy Keane is just today’s red herring and tomorrow will be someone else’s turn.
If it does turn out to be him, surely it’s in order for Kojo to keep posting under ‘The Kojo’? :-)

Good one.
If Roy Keane gets the gig does that mean we will finally sign Kevin Doyle?!
