Some emotional midgets on here as far as Robbie Keane is concerned. Do any of us have control of who becomes our new manager ? NO. Do we get our knickers in a bunch because of it...well, for me...again...NO. but some do. We do our best to be the best person we can. If he's the manager, I will back him, and the team. Does my crust in with all the 'holier than thou bullshit' Buy what you want, shop where you want, without fear of anyone slagging or berating you...it's nobody's business but your own. It's fitba, so watch it, and enjoy...but stop with the over the top wringing of hands bullshit. Have a pleasant week...or don't...couldn't give a MUNKYS. HH

Oooft TELT. 😱😂
 
I don't really know much about Keanes management style or how his teams play but just had a quick look at his stats...not too bad I'd say and his team that beat the Huns a few years ago at the midden were from memory, quite easy on the eye.
political feelings aside, Is he really such a bad choice going on his ability alone?

So bringing out the trophy was the first step mibs.
Dont think a player who was very good for the club and a great Captain as an Assistant manager is forward thinking reeks of jobs for the bhoys. For a club that says World class in everything we do. (Feck off)
Get the right people for the jobs that this club badly needs then get the players we very badly need not agents projects.
Won’t happen not with Tiger Dessie on the front nine.
Club needs all pulling in the same direction but Dessie is causing division just fir

HH😔

Dill those emotional midgets you speak off ,have real concerns for their club. This is a momentous decision by DD it could imho implode the club into civil war. That's why feelings are running at tender pitch right now. I care for my club deeply like every Celtic supporter but we can't just stand by and watch Celtic go into civil war.

Shammy we are going through a helluva lot of emotions just now. Do we want Keane or we dont. I'm only interested in the manager who has an outstanding CV who is up for the job. That rules Keane out no matter the fans view. I couldn't care if he managed Rangers but his CV rules out of Celtic manager.

What was the last manager of Motherwell's CV like? What had he previously won?
Kean has been successful so far winning titles at different clubs yet many on here would have preferred the Ex Well manager🤔

I have principles, often too many principles but it's the way I was brought up.

Keane's employment in Israel is something I'd prefer hadn't happened when I see the genocide carrying on.

But sometimes there are principles that have to be set aside because it's practically impossible to do otherwise.

I try to buy ethically but quite often I can't. I don't know if that new top I just bought was made in a sweat shop by poor and uneducated children or by a well run manufacturer.

I will never buy a Timex watch after their abysmal treatment of Scottish workers. I won't read anything by D.C. Thompson because of their anti Irish and anti Catholic values.

If we were drawn against an Israeli team in Europe, are we just going to walk away from the tie?

This is one that I feel I have no choice and it isn't the main reason that I'd rather not have Keane and if he has to be our new manager then I'll support him...... until I don't.

Robbie Keane is a football manager, probably a family man and like me probably never fully grasped what was going in Palestine. In June 2023 when he was appointed, we all knew that Israel were being absolute cunts to the Palestinians but we got on with our own lives as he probable did on his football journey. He left on 7th June 2024. To me its more likely he excercised some terrible judgment staying the full year, but then maybe he was contractually obliged.

The facts are the government of Israel has committed/are currently committing a genocide in Gaza. Its up to people to pressure governments, the people that can do something about it, not victimse a football manager who happened to manage in Israel for a year.

Palestine has long been a cause for the GB and that makes me proud, against an establishment that has tried to prevent them from doing so. But it seems that once they get a cause, anyone who does anything they disagree with, the position is fixed.

Can you imagine the furore if a player or manager from Engerlund refused to play/manage Celtic because their fans sing IRA songs or held up banners on October 7th 2023.
Some of the GB are absolute fucking tossers and we've all seen their behaviour with our own eyes or on videos so dishing out morality reminds me of stones in glass houses.

The banner incident on 7th October 2023 is a massive stain they'll carry in my eyes, but i give them the benefit of the doubt in that the game was at 12.30 on the day it came out and the details were scare on the level of these horrific attacks.That doesn't make it excusable, but rational people know it was crass and done in haste. We've never seen a banners of that like again, thankfully. They got the benefit of the doubt and people moved on. They should too.

I know several contractors that worked in Israel for the goverment on construction contracts at the time of the original attacks. Lifelong Celtic fans too. Should i write to their prospective employers informing them of this ? Should i inform the GB of their addresses so they can put banners outside their houses ?

He should be judged on football management.

I'll nail my colours to the wall, its MON all day long, the players in that dressing room voted with performances. Yes its not forward thinking, but with the people in charge currently, i'd take another year with some form of unity between the fans and the football department.

With each passing day the (non) decision to not appoint Jens Berthel Askou the day after the Cup Final looks increasingly negligent.
I'm now starting to suspect that MON, after talks with the nepo-baby, has told them to ram it, and the people who the Desmonds may occasionally listen to, the investors, are pushing back on Keane.
That's maybe why Despot is back involved in a decision he made a couple of weeks ago and left his minions (Nepo-Baby & MicNic) to conclude the deal

Why not go for Glasner, seems reasonably qualified.

Spot on.
I think there is a bit of pushing and shoving going on behind the scenes.
DD let the board pick Nancy and he's been re-emboldened since appointing MON twice.
So the battle is on behind the scenes.
