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

Sorry – has not have!
cathach Eyes Wide open, I could not sum it up better. No Man Management Skills. I could not believe the guys he bought.. No Loyalty. Didn’t want him near Irish team, a large percentage of Irish fans will never forgive him. He won’t last 12 months there. Pattern beginning to emerge already with results.
He will do so much damage to our team. Thankfully, he will be arrogant enough to ask for top dollar.
Garcia for me.

Just passing Springy road where all at once I saw a host of Commonwealth Gazebos.

I hope he lasts another 12 years with ROI, not for me.

I believe you have read it wrong.

Does anyone know the largest change of temperature recorded in one day and where it occurred?
MWD says Aye

I put trust in the headline of this article. Lawell + Desmond have no doubt sounded out + spoke to R.K… and then there was the alleged press conference this afternoon. Have people simply put 2 + 2 together and got 27…?
Interesting to hear, Dan Petrescu’s right hand man say that Dan has been approached by Celtic, and a proposal discussed. Then there’s Uwe Rosler…
Still im optimistic that there has been no one definately ruling themselves out, i.e Malky, Moyes… not herd from them or their representitives to say yay or nae
If Forster is truly on Spurs radar, I hope they have £12m at least. He’s worth at least that amount. Maybe £15m.

I’m a reader, not contributor, to be honest, but I struggle to comprehend why RK would vaguely be considered as qualified to manage our club. As well giving it to another fan.
We are in a period of dominance in Scotland, this should continue ad infinitum if we box clever, if we continue to invest in our youth, seek out emerging talent and aim to pick up the odd gem then I am confident that we will see 10-in-row, however if we take on a manager who will demand a huge budget, has no track record whatsoever in developing players and antagonises just about everyone he comes into contact with, then we will be handing a lifeline back to our opponents within a few years.
Give me Stevie Clarke, Owen Coyle (helmet on!), or even John Collins before we touch him!!
Inane rant over, apologies. Currently enjoying free wine in Abu Dhabi and getting stroppy…..
I want to see the Jungle.

Your Polish friend tells the truth. I have never been the soldier but my older brother served 2 years in special forces, jumpung with the parachute and all these games. He told me similar stories. In the Communism times Universities were for free. When you graduated from second school you had to pass examinations to the Uni. If the man did not pass them he did have to go into army for two or three years. For those who studied they made two months army school. You had no choice. I was lucky becouse I passed examination to independent University. They did not take the men from there into the army becouse they thought we would do to much damage to the perfect ideas of the Communism. No army for us was not Law but unwritten habit.
Re temperatures. Minus 25 C and high snow in January is as much likely as plus 32 C in June here. This winter I did not see snow and lowest temperature was -10C. +32 last Sunday and “only” +17 yesterday and today.
Hi,folks. The following post had been left unwanted and unread-except by those of us catching up-at the bottom of the last-but-one article. Canny have that!

An interesting point there. Ramos did brilliantly with Sevilla but flopped in other jobs while the club continued to enjoy success. It suggested that the club was well-run in terms of it’s scouting network, financial management etc and his job was to coach the team. McLaren and Twente also fit this example. While winning the Dutch league was a great achievement for Schteve, the club did well immediately before and after him while his career has been patchy to say the least.
We have a decent team off the field, a good scouting network and some shrewd (maybe too shrewd for some) economists that has left us in a good position. I personally think it’d be harder to get the next appointment wrong. The ex-Brighton manager interests me but I think he’d be odds on now for the Southampton job.
Let’s stay away from the emotional appointment (Larsson, Keane) and get Steve Clarke in. A good coach who can slip straight in to the successful set-up we have right now…
Roy keane worries me in terms of signing players. He signed some real dead wood from us in the past. That said I wish him all the best should he become our manager.

From the first of those photies,I can see why it was known as The Cowshed.
The Jungle was luxury by comparison.

interesting photos. I remember when the ‘new’ south stand with its hinged pillars was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Realiable source in Russia says that Spartak Moscow still trying to get Dan Petrescu as the new coach.
I remember, earlier news were that he rejected Spartak Moscow offer becouse wanted to go elswhere.
Keano worst price now with Paddy Power @ 2/9.
When the odds go that short,it begins to look increasingly likely that he will be our next manager.
Still not a certainty yet though,but if the odds shorten any further…

IMO,not a chance of Roy Keane becoming manager.
Unless PL leaves first. I don’t think he will want a manager he can’t control.

Don;t think you’ll need to worry about Roy or anyone else signing players. That’s Peter Lawwell’s job! ;-)
Just had a reply to my email from Paddy Power. Dan Petrescu is 12/1. Swindonbhoy got 25/1 from Ladbrokes about 3 hours ago. Hmmm….

Also St. Bernard’s in Shawhead. Mind you, Fr. Brosnan “gave good mass” as Fr. Ted might say…!
Bobby M – You are probably right mate, can’t see it myself either.
Dermot Desmond might have other ideas though.

Spot on.
Lhads………
Roy was a consummate commander on the field of play, quite rightly regarded as one of the best.
While these skills are the ones that we as fans admire, I’m doubtful if any of these on- field skills transfer to the modern football boardroom.
Roy is a novice in the management realm and the contrast between his playing skills and his management qualities couldn’t be more stark.
(no pun intended!)

South stand needs upgraded to the rest of the Gazebo standard. Can vaguely remember staring at the ole curved black pitch roof on the Jungle for the very first time.
There must be someone out there who likes R K apart from me, yes he wouldn’t be my first choice and mistakes in the past may come back to haunt him but what occurred at Sunderland was seven years ago and people do learn, behavioural patterns change.
He does talk tactical sense and has plenty of experience of European football albeit as a player but experience none the less.
The level of abuse he is getting on here is more than a little concerning as people’s emotions appear to be running away with them and all he is a contender not the main man yet.
He is a Celtic man and the club is in his heart if he is the choice and the club is really in your heart as it is in his then we all deserve to give him that chance and show just a little bit more tolerance and respect, heaven knows we complain about it often enough when it doesn’t come our way.
There will be very little chance of him spending the way some suggest on here simply because he will not have the budget, someone else will be holding that and even RK will do what he is told regarding finance.
So come now Celtic lets put our emotions behind us, let not the heart rule the head.
At this stage he is a contender and if we are to believe all we hear a strong one at that so please cut the abuse he deserves more than that and we are made of better stuff.
Faith in Celtic.

The first one for me! They don’t make them like that any more.
Didn’t Roy Keane “bin” Liam Miller due to his timekeeping?
BTW RK & Big Mick have the highest win % since Peter Reid.
I would rather have Peter Reid than Roy Keane tho’
Bookies rarely get it this wrong.
Keano has had a glowing reference from MON to their mutual friend DD.
Money, particularly in Ireland, going on the Cork man.
No one might have been offered the job yet but I think Dermo is twirling his moustache!
Hi all the Sevco are coming to Canada .They are playing a team of young boys in Victoria, all College kids ,the Victoria Highlanders and one other game still to be announced.If they play the Vancouver Whitecaps they will get destroyed.We will have to take a collection to fly a plane over their games dragging a Celtic welcome.Look at the difference between Celtics pre season and theirs .Love it.
Both Raman and John McKay wearing green ties tonight…hmmm.
Keano is no novice in management and is on record as saying he wanted to manage Celtic one day.
I think his day has come. Not my first choice but will command much respect in the dressing room.
One thing for sure fat Sally will not be squaring up to Keano in three years time when that plucky new team finally make it back to the top league.
What abuse, disrespect or intolerance………..?
Debate / Comment / Opinion.
At lease some of the ole ABC Brigade are a wee bit happier.
Roy Keane’s record is poor, but he’s feisty has charisma and an international profile for
attracting better quality personnel.
