    Fergal Harkin with Roy Keane, seems like exactly the kind of thing Desmond would do.

    Yep - I don't take any notice of bookie's odds - frankly, you could move this market with a couple of 50 quid bets.

    I don't even want to contemplate Keane - the SMSM + Huns would love it, for us it would be a spectacular disaster.

    Yea, there’d certainly be a sort of inferiority complex, regardless of what either have achieved as managers, that player dynamic never seems to go away with these guys. Keane will come out with his usual “get your medals on the table” or something lol

    You may as well tell the zombies to keep the league trophy next season if Keane was appointed has done nothing in the game for years and just a pundit now and you cheapen the Celtic manager job with this appointment .

    What did S G do in his first 2 season at Sevco and before that? Nothing. I would welcome Roy Keane with a DoF coming in plus he may bring in Micah Richards as his side kick to keep the morale high.

    Slippy would have been sacked last season if it wasn't for covid and he got lucky this year as we really * up from boli to recruitment and Dubai and the board being incompetent not sacking Lennon in November .

    Keane had 1 successful season as a manager (14 years ago in the championship with Sunderland having spent a load of money to do so).

    He then left in 2008 with the club in 18th and having (yet again!) given the sports writers plenty to write about him rather than the club. The player's reportedly celebrated when he left.

    He was a disaster at Ipswich - finishing 15th in his one full season and the club were in the 19th in the championship when he was sacked the following season.

    As assistant to Martin - he did OK with the republic.

    However, as Forest showed, Martin's time at club level has passed - I don't want either him or Keane back at Celtic.

    Keane's last solo management role ended (with him being sacked) over 10 years ago.

    He's good value as a pundit and he should stay there.

    The Huns and the media would love him to be our manager - there's a reason for that.

    Tbh i don’t believe that, i think their Euro run gave their board enough assurances that he was on the right track.

    It would have been too expensive for them to sack Slippy

    Any * wanting Keane needs their * head checked.

    The * done nothing in management. He would be another Lennon.

    Keane with anyone will not work - clearly Lennon had issues with some players - look at Keane's history, he's hardly likely to be an improvement on that front is he?

    100% do not want Keane in any role.

    I'm not interested in some myopic appointment based off winning the title straight back or boosting season ticket sales.

    I want someone brought in that has experience working with and improving youngsters. The club has to focus on becoming a place where exciting young players can come and know they're going to get first team football experience and a route to big clubs in better leagues.

    It is a gamble to appoint Harkins and Maresca but they interest me a lot more than bringing in some fanciful appointment like Benitez for 1-2 seasons.

    Kind of weird that I had a premonition he'd manage us one day 9 years ago. But there you go.

    Yes, it would be a disaster.
