A month on from Neil Lennon’s departure there is still a massive vacuum over information on who will be the next Celtic manager.
Dermot Desmond’s announcement on the club website last night gave nothing away other than informing fans that the Irish businessman knows what is best for them.
One recurring name ‘in the frame’ is Roy Keane who appears not to have burnt his bridges after turning the job down in 2014. At that stage Keane was three years out of football, the clock has now reached a decade broken up by three spells as assistant to Martin O’Neill (twice) and Paul Lambert.
The Cork icon strikes a fearsome figure on Sky Sports with his old school values and judgements- how that translates to the touchy feely football environment of 2021 is something that no other club has been prepared to test out.
This afternoon it was announced that Nicky Butt was leaving his role at Manchester United after eight years moving upwards at the club he played alongside Keane for.
Should Roy Keane be the next Celtic manager
Yes, exactly what we need
No, never. We need to get serious
A former team-mate with current experience of working at the elite level of the game would seem the perfect compliment to Keane’s fiery demands. With a vacuum of information during an international break restless Celtic fans weren’t overly excited at the prospect of a ‘dream-team’ being put together.
One for the KDS naysayers:
Director of Football – Fergal Harkin
Manager – Roy Keane
Assistant Manager – Nicky Butt— Paul John Dykes (@PaulJohnDykes) March 24, 2021
Really not what we want.. Keane would do well for an impact but it would only end on disaster.. this manager decision has to be really thought out and the correct decision.. or it could affect us massively going forward.

I have, and hope I’ve now jinxed it.

Not for me personally. But whoever gets it will get my backing. Just like Lennon the last time. ?
