Can see it after all the bad comments about him, not a season ticket seller in my opinion.

If it's true I would like to see him MON and Damian Duff form a management team as there would be a god mix of everything required.

Let's be honest you think a few bad comments going to put Keane off? Season tickets will still sell IMO. If the correct backroom staff with him it could work.

I know it's not the first man to have betting suspended on but the fact Ed007 said this is what he heard weeks even months ago would suggest it's happening 😅. I'm not convinced by RK it really would depend on those around him like OAB says.

Duff would be a good fit if it's Keane but am still of the opinion it's bull.

If true I am absolutely devastated and feel totally let down by Dermot Desmond and the Celtic board.

I think it will be Keane but I think that's an awful appointment. I think football has passed him by and he's a dinosaur. Made a living after football for being a grumpy bore! He's also been out of the game for years - hardly a superstar appointment. What happened to setting your sights high? From Eddie Howe or benitez to a moany ex player (granted an excellent player but not an excellent manager! ) .
He'll moan and moan and then resign moaning about the modern day players and the board not giving him 100 million to sign the worlds best.

I don’t get the duff hype, he must be a ok coach but some people think he’s outstanding which I don’t get.

Nothing concrete but I've had folk that know folk inside the club saying Desmond wants Keane and he's going to back him well. These folk been saying this for months. But they are saying its happening for sure. I'll wait and see am sceptical myself. But when folk are so sure you have to listen lol.

I'm sure the £1.5m a year will deaden the blow of some negative posts.

Don't want Keane but if it's him fair enough. Scottish football will be blockbuster next season on Sky with 2 big EPL heavyweights in the main job's.
Always bemused when people say it won't sell season books. It's Celtic we support. Managers, player's, CEO and Owners come and go. Supporting Celtic is unconditional. HH.

If or when Keane signs I won't be buying anything celtic I want my money to go on a young upcoming coach with progressive thoughts and exciting football not a dinosaur.

Like said it all depends who's in the backroom coaching.
They went out and got that guy Beale to help Slippy.
By all accounts it's Beale who sets the tactics.
So as long as we don't fill the backroom team with crap it could work with Keane.
Although I'd rather it wasn't.

I'm unsure why we'd even be considering Keane other than the Irish connection to DD, if that's true? There has to be a load of other, better suited managers/ coaches out there.
I would also say that getting the structure correct with a very good D. O F coming in and running the footballing side of the club is more important than the manager.
Playing 😈 advocate, if Slippy G can win the league then there's no reason why Keane can't do the same, but he wouldn't be my choice.

@Gar1888 I'd take Howe over Keane in a heartbeat. He's got a proven track record of building and progressing a team. I know he spent big money but keeping a club like Bournemouth in the PL for 4 or 5 years is a great achievement. Would Howe have won the Treble Treble when Rodgers left and then delivered the 9 last season? I think he would have. Would Lennon or Keane have won the Championship and led Bournemouth to a top half PL finish? Not a chance. So I'd see Howe as an improvement on both. The question mark is over his mentality and whether he could handle the pressures of Glasgow but he ticks the rest of the boxes for me.
