Keane joins Celtic (1 Viewer)

[Hector Grey]

Deep down, everyone loves Roy

I guessing this simply isn't true.

 

[oh shit]

he's a wanker
can actually imagine him fucking up the title, which in a sense would be a shame for whoever wins it instead because it'd still be all about roy

nope. he's staying apparently.


Exclusive: Roy Keane to stay with Republic of Ireland - Independent.ie

 

[Hector Grey]

Cock it.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Cock it.

He's done that to spite you.

Why is all football out to spite me? I'm nothing, nada, less than Paul McShame.

 

[Jerry Twig]

I would have fully understood if he went, but I'm very glad he's staying.

 

[oh shit]

he's lapped it. scared to fail. cheeky git can dish it out on tv

 

[Jerry Twig]

Or he's decided that he made a commitment to the Ireland job and he's sticking with it, which is fair enough.
How do you fail at Celtic anyway? They can't not win the league and they can't be expected to do well in Europe.

I think it's a year too early for him, or he's had a taste of the part time gigs and decided the 24/7 of club management is not for him.

All speculation of course. Also, maybe his brand of fuck-you honesty might not be the best fit for a volatile football city.

Any way up, the dream is dead.

Indeed, and add in the fact that there's a board member who MON hated that sticks his oar in everything (inevitable bust-up) plus the hassle of all the sectarian nonsense etc.

he'd manage it

HA HA HA HA HA/ Lovely stuff. Commitment! Gas.

I'm guessing it's come down to money, he is apparently on a tidy wage packet with Ireland of over half a million a year, presumably Celtic couldn't afford much more than that. Aiden McGeady said that Keane told him he'd be basing himself in Edinburgh if Celtic offered him the job so he must have been strongly considering it.

He said himself, it's the money. Seems a joke to me after all the money he has made. But wtf do I know, I never made 100k a week.

Maybe his strengths do lie in punditry.

 

[Cormcolash]

Did he say it was the money? I would have thought he wouldn't be interested in Peter Lawell basically calling the shots over players in and out more than that.

He added with a smile: ”I’m not taking a pay cut for anybody.”

The emphasis being on 'with a smile'. It's the Lawell thing what swung it. Anyway, who cares, roll on Tinoco (there's a Costa Rican dictator for you)!
