New manager

See even if he was interested, and he is a fantastic coach but Club Brugge are a well oiled machine in terms of football operation and Academy. They are the polar opposite of us and therefore it’s hard to see how someone like that would perform as a manager.

It’s clear from Desmond’s statement he wants a manager that has a degree of control over all things football. That’s not his remit or being honest most manager/ head coaches remits anymore.

We struck it lucky with Ange but even he basically used his agent and their agency as a defacto Director of Football to get players in during that first season when our internal team were failing.

 

Keane has seemingly said he would accept the job if offered

 

I would accept the job if I was offered it.
£3M a year, you are * tooting right.

Keane won't get it. He's a balloon.

 

Wouldn't take Keane.

Good start to his career a League and Cup double in Israel and the League in Hungary especially moving to those places where he's probably not got a clue about their football or any players or nothing.

But you'd want to see him managing a team like Norwich or whoever first over here to see how he does there. Still kind of unproven.

 

Robbie Keane would be divisive with the fans given his Israeli connections for starters.

He's also 5 points behind in the league for a club who are going for 8 in a row.

 

Keane would tick DDs boxes

 

Short sighted he’s well qualified and he’s a box office name something our league always could do with

Course he would, he's managing in Hungary..

 

He's nowhere near a box office name in managerial terms.
The current bookies list is * depressing to me esp the top 4 although I'd take back ange over most on those lists.

 

Because he took a job at a Israeli club some people need to get a grip

He worked in Israel during a genocide .. ta * is short sighted about that? He's also an utter *

 

You mean Roy Keane ?

* Robbie Keane, puff chested, over rated wankstain.

 

Another Rodgers can add ange to that list

Seriously? He took the Isreal shilling while they were committing genocide.. thats ok with you?

 

The man heading up the hunt for Celtic’s next manager has identified Wales boss Craig Bellamy as one of the leading targets.


Record Sport understands the Parkhead club’s head of football operations Paul Tisdale is drawing up a short list of potential candidates following the shock axing of Brendan Rodgerson Monday night.


And Bellamy has emerged already as a person of considerable interest.




Ipswich Town head coach Kieran McKenna was made the early front runner but we revealed yesterday that it would cost around £5m in compensation in order to plunder the 39-year-old and his backroom staff from Portman Road.


While cash rich Celtic would not necessarily be scared off by such a whopping fee it’s believed a deal to release Bellamy from his contract with the Welsh FA would be more affordable even though it still has three more years to run.

Bellamy, however, would have to be convinced to leave his country in the lurch at a time when they are chasing down a place in next summer’s World Cup Finals.


With just two games to go Belgium are red hot favourites to win Group J after a dramatic 4-2 win in Cardiff earlier this month but Bellamy’s side would be guaranteed a play-off place with back-to-back wins over Liechtenstein and North Macedonia.

Those crunch games take place on November 15 and 18 but if Wales do successfully claim a runners up spot then Bellamy would be expected to hang around to finish off the job in the play-offs in March.

And that would effectively rule him out of contention for the Celtic job despite the arrival of Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney as an interim management team to hold the fort on a short term basis.


Bellamy then would have to be prepared to walk away from his current position in order to make the move back to Glasgow’s east end, where he played under O’Neill during a loan spell 20 years ago in the Irishman’s final season in charge.

O’Neill’s surprise second coming begins tonight when Celic face Falkirk at Parkhead needing a win to keep on the coattails of storming pace setters Hearts.



But the stand-in boss has already suggested that the club will be looking for a younger, aspiring young manager to take the job on a more permanent basis and Bellamy certainly fits that profile.

The 46-year-old has been widely praised for the work he has done since taking over his national side. He cut his teeth as a coach working under former Manchester City team mate Vincent Kompany at Belgian side Anderlecht.

The pair teamed up for a second time at Burnley where Bellamy was installed as first team coach.

 

Muscat creeping up the bookies lists as well. 3rd favourite now on PP

 

Both the Keanes are arseholes.

 

Correct
