    That's confirmed a lot about what I've suspected about Celtic over the last couple of years to be honest.

    Why? When you apply for a job and they say "You will work 50 hours a week on 30k a year. Company car included, but you pay the fuel and we will give you costs every 4 weeks".
    Do you have a tantrum like this *? Saying you didn't feel wanted or do you consider the proposal and say thanks but no thanks like a proper human * being?

    What it comes down to is Lawwell didn't agree to taking Jock's statue down and putting one of this * up in it's place.

    I think he has been harshly judged. there has been an obvious learning curve.

    I think he still has a lot to offer in football. His influence has been attributed to Aston Villas resurgence this season.

    Even now, Sunderland still have their struggles. I think Ipswich was his biggest shortcoming. Still relatively young in management. Still learning.

    There's no doubt in my mind that if Roy got the job here he would have made more signings or would have came out and said that the board wasn't providing him with enough funds. I can also 100% guarantee that he would get more out of our players than Deila currently has, RD seems to be the ultimate yes man

    If the contracts we offer our playing staff are non negotiable its no wonder we miss out on all our top targets. One take it or leave it offer is a shocking way for a football club like ours to do business.

    This has nothing to do with Keane - I'm delighted he's not our manager.

    The fact that his assistant was already picked for him is also worrying. Obviously that's happened with Deila and Collins anyway, but when we hire a manager we should trust him to bring in his own back room staff.

    This is what I'm thinking now also, and everyone crying for him to be sacked, have to realise that if he does get his P45, Lawwell will only be bringing in another yes man. Deila got the job, because he was the only person willing to come here and work with the budget we will have set out. Lennon left because his ambitions were higher than the board we currently have in place, and he saw what was coming, and got out.

    We definitely dodged a bullet by not appointing him and I am glad we never "rocked his boat" * tube.
    Safe to say I would rather pluck my ball hairs than pay to read the ramblings of this *.

    I think we were right when we didnt want him. DD might have wanted him and PL and the rest knew he was an * so offered him * terms. The fact that he feels the need to mouth about us now shows his true feelings toward us.

    Didn't want Keane and still don't but don't think the's said anything wrong here.

    We all know Celtic are cheapskate * and basically force the "massive club, 60k a week, great history" on all fans, players and coaches at the expense of actually trying to create new history.

    Right Roy Keane is a major *. He throws a hand grenade and doesn't care who gets hurt in the process, as long as it doesn't affect his world. But the short of it is he tells it like it is. This makes him enemy no.1 for some. He would not have been my choice as manager. But as he more or less said this is Celtic and we use that to try and attract candidates without paying the going rate. That's why we miss out on so many targets!

    Sorry mate, but the highlighted line is complete and utter tosh.Where did you get that from?Attributed by whom?

    What resurgence?They have the exact same points after 7 games this year that they had last year.They are a young team and they dont have a fortune to spend, and were doing just fine before he came along.

    Not only that, but Villa have a very capable manager who is much sought after, unlike Keane, who is clearly trying to learn about management by taking assistants roles at club and country level......but he is the side kick, nothing more.

    A loose cannon. Has gone about causing disorder and chaos.

    Love him.

    3 Blue is not the colour

    “Our first session [at Ipswich]was open to the fans. But nobody came. My first day – you’d have thought a couple of school kids would have been dragged in by a dad or grandad. The warmth wasn’t there. Then there was the blue training kit. I don’t like *’ blue. City were blue. Rangers were blue. My biggest rivals were blue. Is that childish? I couldn’t feel it – the chemistry. Me and the club. I get annoyed now, thinking that I should have been able to accept it: I was there to do a job.”
