3 bookies now going betting on next manager again with Keane 1/2.
Now bookies aren't renowned for giving away money and given that Benitez was previously as low as 1/9 in the betting, I don't think the appointment of Keane is a guaranteed thing like a lot of people are saying.

I really hope its not Keane I love him as a pundit he is so blunt with the truth or as he sees it he was great as a player. But he hasn't been a great manager or even a good one IMO and that is what we need a great or atleast a good manager not a publicity stunt some one that can build the full club and structure up fast a good DoF and manager will do that next season is a automatic pass into the CL we can't throw that away with just publicity.

Sunderland. won 42 drew 17 lost 41
Ipswich . won 28 drew 25 lost 28.

{Ed007's Note - He took over Sunderland sitting 2nd bottom of the Championship and won the league & promotion to the Pub League that same year, he was doing well at Sunderland until the problems with Ellis Short started - they still haven't recovered from that time.
Remember as well it was Niall Quinn that was their Chairman at the time and there was no love lost between him and Keane but Quinn rated him as a manager and put that to one side.
Keane's win percentage at Sunderland hasn't been bettered since (apart from Lee Johnson just now) and that includes guys like Bruce, MON, Advocaat, Di Canio, Moyes etc etc.}

Where do you sit with the possible Keane appointment Ed? If it’s to be him I hope it’s sorted soon so he can look at players for next year and get his team sorted . I feel time is of the essence now due to so many leaving.

{Ed007's Note - I'm nor exactly overwhelmed by the prospect but as I 've said elsewhere the appointment of his coaching staff will be crucial if it is to be Keane.}

think he also beat Newcastle at home or something first time in 28 year. people on here are screaming out for wilder and howe who roy keane has matched in achievements in a shorter spell.

i don't know how i feel about keane a small part of me is hoping it is him and he smashes it. as ed says it all down to who he brings with him. i will get behind him 100 percent if he gets the job.

You forgot to add that he hasn't been a manager in 10 years Yes he has been an assistant since then but not a manager. with those credentials would he really be a good fit for the job? Are you really saying that more experienced and modern managers have not expressed a interest for the job? ( I don't know who has asked about it) Or is it because he is Irish and played for us in his latter years?

Plus DRB % 50 win %50 loss is not encouraging to me we will be lucky to be in the top 6 with those figures.

tony keane is definitely not my first choice and its nothing to do with him being Irish or played for us. im just stating facts if people are going to slander him for the negatives at least add his positives to. if your going to go by win percentage to tony then lenny has one of the best win percentages as Celtic manager yet fans hounded him out the club. and as for experience roy keane is one of the most experienced in the game at the elite level. been there and done it at every level

people are shouting for maresca and a bet not one of us have even seen his under 23 side play just know he plays attacking football. so did mad pedro and that's why the sevies took him and look how that worked out. tbh i do not know who would be the perfect manager.

if its keane i will get behind him like every celtic fan should as he will be the manager of our club.

{Ed007's Note - MON - Irish, Brendan Rodgers - Irish, Neil Lennon - Irish if you're holding someone's nationality against them, well do we really need to go into that? Maybe we wouldn't have had any of them as manager if they weren't Irish or Celtic supporters, sometimes the emotional pull gives us an advantage but it looks like only when it suits differing opinions whether it's an advantage.
Ffs there's people want Larsson to get the job!!
Can anyone can give me 1 reason that can back up why Maresca should get the job? I've never seen City's under 23s play and from that to the Celtic job is massive, why is Maresca more qualified or a better option than Keane? He's never managed a first team dressing room and squad let alone everything that would come his way as Celtic manager.}

I am not intentionally trying to say because he is Irish I was trying to say we don't have to go with some one with a connection with the club we can go out of the box and as I have said I really really like Keane but I don't think he is the man for the job.

{Ed007's Note - I totally agree, Tony but if he is going to be appointed let's see what the bigger picture is, with the right DOF and coaches it could prove to be a masterstroke. I don't know why people seem to think I'm all for Keane being appointed but the way folk are going on about him is already beyond ridiculous.

In the space of a few hours Keane's odds on being next manager have drifted from 1-2 to 2-1.
It's all guesswork at the moment which is good as the confidential matters are being kept exactly that, "confidential"

As has been said here if Keane is appointed it's the backroom team which is key. If he has the right people behind him it could work. I couldn't see Keane allowing some of the rubbish and nonsense behaviour by some players this season. Plus he will demand he brings in his own people for his backroom staff. Which was a major error Lennon made. But if it is Keane l will give him my full back. Have to agree l think it's a bit strange people think an u23 coach/ manager is right choice. Only time will tell what happens. Well done ed too on the podcast 👍.
