ROY KEENE & NICKY BUTT

[Jinkybhoy]

You know what - the more I think about it the more I like the thought of it.
I reckon that with the support of DD you will see a brand of footballer and style of play
that can get the supporters up off their seats (whenever they can use them again).
Maybe not every ones cup of tea but he definately gets my vote.

The press conferences with pro-sevvie journalists will be well worth seeing with Roy in the hot seat.

Although I'm not a fan of Kean, I don't think he would be happy with the way the club is treated by the smsm, mib e.t.c and would press the Board to call out the hunnery.

Roy is to volatile a Risk and like Lennon just does not have the tactical whereferall. Nicky Butt supposedly resigned at Man Utd but he was heading out the door with the new restructure and the placing of Darren Ferguson as a football director. Nicki bombed before he was pushed.
Just can’t think that these two would make Celtic a tangible Football force in Scotland and Europe.
Might be regarded as a financial take a chance if Desmond can’t afford bigger money on a more suitable Manager.

We have to forget about Europe for a season or two. Even at our best we would struggle to make any sort of dent. We have declined so much and the rebuilding job is so massive that even if we were to buy a whole new team over the summer it would take at least 6 months for the squad to really gel and get to know each other, especially during a pandemic where players can't go out and socialise with their new team mates. People are comparing Keane with Lennon but I doubt very much Keane would accept players being unfit and unable to last 90 minutes. He strikes me as a guy that believes players are in a privileged position and should take their job seriously. We have to get back on top in Scotland. I believe that can easily be achieved by having a squad that can last 90+ minutes. I get that we need to talk tactics but let's be honest, Scottish teams haven't all of a sudden learned anything different. It's always been 11 men behind the ball and hit on the break. The difference from this season and the last 8 was that our players kept going and going for the whole match and eventually went on to win when our opposition were dead on their feet. This season teams only had to really last 50 to 60 minutes...thats around the time our players were fucked. Then they could go on to earn a point or even nick a win. If Keane had the write mix of coaches and backroom staff I'd be happy to have him at paradise

Thierry Henry has thrown his hat in the ring, said he's available and has massive respect for Celtic.

Then fucked it by saying what Slippy G has achieved is incredible and he has massive respect for ranjurs as well.

 

[Docco2]

Get this Keane pish talk tae fuck....yous think Lenny was bad? This guy will be a disaster of mowbrayesque proportions

 

[Shadow2]

The only plus I can see with Keane's appointment is that Dermot Desmond will likely sanction throwing a bit more investment at a team rebuild than he maybe would if it were any of the other candidates.

Keane's only in the running for the job because DD is fanboy of his so I can definitely see DD making more funds available to give his preferred candidate the best chance of success but other than that I see no benefit to Keane becoming Celtic manager.

Nae wonder Roy would boot his baws for that

I personally can't see keane being 1st choice for the job but couldn't totally rule him out either.
Is a manager nowadays more of a figurehead and the real hard work done by the coaching staff?
As a figurehead Keane could work, but we won't really know until match day decisions of his were being made, a question we can't possibly answer now.
Been out of the game for 10 years now is not very inspiring with the amount of changes to the game since he was last involved can hardly fill us with confidence either.
Still think he could attract players but this will all depend on what backroom staff he has in mind and could work with.
Wouldn't be my 1st choice either but we may also be struggling to find a manager we all would be happy with, so if it is going to be Keane then so be it.

I’m not wanting Keane, but if the board want to try and win the Scottish cup, they’ll have to get a manager in now.

Who do you want mate?

 

[Ally]

Forget that idea, Kennedy is in charge for foreseeable.

 

[Ally]

Who we want and what we'll get are two different things. It's up to DD and board. Apologies for stating the fecking obvious. Getting drained now about all this we want him and him. I just want this all 9ver and done with. European qualifiers start soon, get the man in as soon as. ie NOW.

 

[dungloe67]

TS I honestly don’t know.
I’m not encouraged by any of the names.

Roy Hodgson. For D O F. Just a thought.

 

[dungloe67]

Everyday there are new odds on favourites.
How long does it take the board to pick a new man.
it’s quite obviously the media have no idea who it’s going to be.
I just want it ALL over.
Get everything in place, I was hoping for the Scottish cup, but it now looks as though it will be for next season.
