Apparently Robbie Keane is "Front runner to be next Celtic boss"
I never heard that or even THOUGHT about him as our manager
What are all you guys thoughts and if like me it is a NO
Who would you like
Me? I am siding with our ED007 and want the Ipswich Manager.
{Ed007's Note - Keane's been in the mix for a while Tim and I wouldn't be surprised if that's who it is.}

Personally a think it between Keane/ Bellamy, Ipswich sitting 2nd in Championship with cpl games in hand so can’t see McKenna coming if promoted, so ad opt for Bellamy, just think Keane be to much of a DD yes man, e think it needs to be the most important signing of the season getting the manager right.
{Ed007's Note - How long will Ipswich give McKenna in the PL this time before they sack him? He's already been been promoted and they were immediately relegated and it'll probably be the same again.
We should be at least giving him the choice - of another relegation battle that will probably cost you your job this time or managing Celtic, winning trophies, playing European football and building your reputation.}

Keane i'd be happy with. outsiders Brian Barry murphy askou and eds wee cousin. did hear from someone who seen them that maloney martinez and someone else (person didn't know who other was ) where spotted in a city centre hotel just before Martin came back social meeting or sounding out?

I think it has always been Robbie Keane, With Maloney and DamienDuff as backroom, some have said that Duff has knocked that back, but I haven’t seen that anywhere.

Well for me if its that trio then we cement ourselves as a top 6 spl club, not the #1 club. Falkirk and MWell overtake us if they keep their managers.

Troy. Why do you think keane would be a yes man?
10 Apr 2026 16:34:00
Ur right Edd, a think Ipswich will come back down, but a still think McKenna will be in charge at least the 1st cpl months which is no good to us. In my personal opinion managers only care about the big bucks, Trophies are a bonus. Ad say McKenna is a grade above Keane and would love us to even ask the question.
{Ed007's Note - I said on a pod the other week we would maybe need prove to McKenna that we are going to be run better, maybe MON could come in as a buffer between the board and the manager/footballing department and then MON spoke about the same scenario ?
But I agree Troy, we should at least ask the question of McKenna and if MON is involved in it that can only be another plus imo.
The board MUST deliver with the next appointment.}

I don’t see what the fuss is with McKenna from what I’ve seen of Ipswich they are not great on the eye.
He has also won nothing.

Out of the 3 its MKenna for me, I am not into ex-players coming back, especially if they haven't been that successful elsewhere.
They maybe played for us but the club owe them nothing. They were well paid when they were here.
Bellamy, Keane and Duff are just starting on their managerial careers and none has been successful at club level yet. Each is a risk.
I have looked around Europe and elsewhere for another lunatic who plays crazy football, in case I needed to prepare myself for another Nancy era coming our way but I couldn't find anyone as crazy or overrated as him, so fingers crossed.

Keane has at won 2 league titles that’s not nothing ?.
Granted it’s Israel and Hungary but still a winner.
10 Apr 2026 22:10:55
Is he really.!
McKenna is doing well at a higher level. His football is better on the eye as well imo and he is not an ex player who the board will think they can dictate to.

Yip don’t get me wrong I don’t think any of 3 mentioned should get the job.
Keane though has won trophies and likely to win a double this year. They have 2 games against the challengers over the next 2 weeks that will determine that. Ferencvaros also got to last 16 in Europa league.
McKenna is a runner up and failed big time after spending a fortune in the EPL. Is Phil Parkinson going to be linked next?
