Roy seems pretty keane on celtic
Roy Keene legend.
He’s off to Celtic bhoy!
Can’t see any top class manager wanting the job,Lennon said it was getting boring for him in the league,he wants a new challenge,maybe Celtic should push to move to the English league
maybe Celtic should push to move to the English league”
- that idea for Celtic and Rangers has been floated before – but it would leave Scottish Premier league in a mess and deprive many clubs of their big pay day from both clubs – when Rangers presumably are again in Premier Scottish league .
As for Keane – he certainly gets a lot of publicity for a ” manager ” that failed at two English Premier league clubs .
Keane is a decent championship manager but not a great premiership one.Celtic will find it very hard to get a proven coach to go there when the league has had only one half decent team
All credit to Roy at the end of the day…. but he brought the mitey Sunderland from 3rd from bottom to Championship Champions. … as I said before like, Keane is Keane. ….
