There’s something I’ve never been able to figure out for the last nine years. When Gordon Strachan was announced as Celtic manager, on 1st June 2014, he apologised to the media for bumping their calls the previous week, as he was due to takeover on that date, and the announcement was embargoed until then.
No idea why the news was embargoed, but it was. Tomorrow’s the 1st June. If the same rules hold true now as when Gordon Strachan was appointed, there was little chance of an appointment in late May.

It’s midnight here and I am also stone cold sober >}
You know fine well what I meant by foreign, but, and always the but, to some Ireland is not foreign……..
HH
Mullet and Co, maybe your right but I have a feeling in my gut that the real Roy Keane would show up for Glasgow Celtic, not the going through the motions with some wee diddy clubs version that his CV would suggest.
Hail Hail.

They are starting work themselves up now.
Fair play to them if they do win the thing though, at least they are there a suppose.
They do have a tendency to over-hype that EPL also.
HH.
Surprise surprise.
Sunday Times exposes emails related to 5 million dollars worth of payments made in relation to the decision to award Qatar the World Cup.
See ya ,Sepp.
Hopefully.
Oz spent 23 million on it`s bid.

As a matter of interest…
Has Celtic ever appointed a manager who ‘ticked all the boxes’?
I can think of only two indisputably successful men…
Big Jock & MON
Everyone else had either a mixed bag of success and failure or very limited experience in management.
I have my preference for manager from the names being bandied but none are clearly succ
mullet – think you’ve nailed it there!

If Keane gets the gig it means that the other candidates were either substandard or laughed at the wages, and that DD sees the Keane name as putting bums on seats and selling season tickets. Just my opinion for what it is worth. RK should be good enough to win the league with the present squad but I doubt he’ll make much impact in Europe. Time will tell.
Oops..
…clearly successes.
Ipswich dipsticks I’m happy as can be
Celtic Celtic that’s the team for me

You can hang onto your low opinion of me. No problem to me. It’s far less defamation of character as he defames the blog. I am unimpressed that you amongst others fail to notice. Abuse the peacemakers as this is CQN. ;-)

16 roads,
There is more chance of me getting the Celtic gig than there is of England winning the World Cup..not a hope pal.
If and when Roy Keane is appointed then we should be all thankful that a club like Celtic can still attract top professionals like RK. His heart is in it, he understands what we we are, what we have suffered at the hands of the every scottish organisation, national, football, media or otherwise. We should be glad that an ultimate professional like RK would consider the Celtic managers job with all it’s constraints. He does not need Celtic financially, so taking the manager’s job is an honour for him and is close to his heart. That my friends is good enough for me. Someone who wanted to terminate their career in the illustrious hoops should have us all be a little more respectful of someone most of us have never met.

Hi mate,I would be interested in a driving job
Could I ask Paul for your email

Just pondering the “news” from Phil Mac that everyone agrees Murray Park has got to go.
In order to sell, you need a buyer.
Who wants to buy?
No matter how hard I think, I can’t see anyone interested other than property developers looking for a knock-down price.
Now wouldn’t it be hilarious if Charles Green bought it?

……………….
Not as good as Mick McCarthy’s punch to level Crawford Baptie!
Seriously, it was a fabulous shot.Looking at it in slow motion was frightening.
Talking of Mick McCarthy, maybe RK could bring in big Mick as his number 2, I’m sure that would be a great recipe for success ;-)
TCR – Argentina I think are a decent shout, frightening attacking team they are.
I’m nearly half way through the George Connelly book mate, brilliant read.
A flawed genuis if ever there was one my friend.

Here’s a wee story for you. My nephew told me several years ago, when he was with the accounting firm which audited the Rangers FC accounts, that Dick Advocaat added £2 million to the cost of Murray Park that all the rooms were round so that cliques couldn’t develop. This was around the time that the Ibrox Stadium was magically revalued to circa £120millions to become one of the most expensive real estate properties in the country.
Dark horses for me are Columbia, they will score, just a case of keeping them out.

You have a problem with the fella because he had a go at a very well respected poster on here.
I won’t embarrass him,but I met him in October and thought the world of him.
If The BOULD BHOYS met him,I am sure he would feel the same.
mea cupla…
Was thinking the same thing!
evening bhoys and ghirls ,
just did something i’ve not done for years and watched one of those queensberry rules’ get-togethers.
not seen a live bout since the days of benn-watson and prior to that ali-foreman.
I have tremendous respect for these guys – the have to dedicate themselves to being in the peak of physical fitness to even contemplate surviving – and ,once it’s over, they show respect for each other .
Hail Hail to Froch and Groves.
16 roads, interesting left-field shout for LM.With RK or HL?
T4, was out with Mr and Mrs Sheepie last night – both asking for you and Mrs S suggesting you need to get in touch . Mr S saying the same,but think he just wanted conversation and beers.

Rye catcher, Keane ticks none of the boxes for Celtic manager.
Successful track record? Took Sunderland up spending 10 s of millions in the process. Then things turned sour and he walked. Ipswich was a complete and utter disaster. He had them at 19 in the championship.
European record. None
Good track record with bringing in low value players and making huge profits? No evidence of this in fact he wasted pots of cash.
Good with press? Debatable. Ok in England but wait till he starts on this village.
Good track record with managing players? None. The Sinderland players celebrated when he left.
I imagine he will have direct line to Dermot. He will not suffer any crap and will demand more money to spend. The evidence is there he will not spend it wisely. I do hope Dermot is indemnifying the potential loses.
…………………………………
I agree with everything you say there.
Roy Keane should be thanking his lucky stars he is getting the opportunity to manage our club.This is his final chance at club management.
If he makes a pig’s ear of it he is finished as a manager.
I wish him all the best..

And just as a matter of interest,I have never had a low opinion of you.
Even when you’re wrong.
Disappointed that you could even think that.
Heyho…
Mullet and co…..
Cant remember Keano spending megamillions to galvanise Sunderland from 24th place in the Championship to winning it 7 months later.
It went sour in the EPL for a multitude of reasons.Most of them were outside of his control.
Give him control at a really big club like Celtic and we will see.
Personally cant stand most things ManUre related, particularly Adolf Ferguson and his classless comments about former players and opposition players, but will always make an exception for Keano…………Lord…..I would have loved to have seen him in a LFC shirt.
16 roads,
It’s a great read and a sad one at the same time.
Massive case of what might have been.
A truly magnificent player.

That situation will never arise as the Huns can never “get back to the top division ” as they are a NEW club.
HH my good man. Unlike you to make a schoolboy error. Lol
Sammi’s interview re wee Jay today had spoonfuls of his sadness of leaving the hoops..
16 Roads, you obviously don’t remember Ally’s Tartan Army. A wee documentary on that debacle would knock ten points off the Yes vote. The English are there. Let them dream.

Lubo always seemed to be very intelligent as well as an incredible footballer mate.
Then again, people have been saying that great footballers never make great managers,so maybe not.
