I imagine he was probably getting ready for the Ireland match.
There is hope he'll stay where he is, but if as per the other thread he's even on €500k, a luxury we can't afford either, regardless of his 'abilities'.
What is he currently supposed to be on and what might he expect at Celtic?
I would expect the Celtic job to be better paid myself as it is more than a few games a year
and he will be manager not sidekick.
I just want to say that Roy Keane was an unmitigated success at Sunderland - irrespective of what happened at Ipswich - and every successful manager has troughs in the road. Keane is still young in managerial terms. Getting Celtic into the Champions League would erase a lot of doubts about taking/being offered this job and his reasons for doing so.

More experienced managers with better Celtic teams, failed to get through the CL qualifiers on different occasions.
It's a road strewn with banana skins for somebody of Roy's managerial ilk, playing teams from summer football leagues, who just might get lucky.
Celtic fans still remember Artmedia and curse Strachan, and that's despite what was achieved afterwards.
There is no such thing as 'well if at first you don't succeed with CL qual, then try again', because that leaves a very quiet football season, minus competition and minus 1/3 revenue.
When Roy took the assistant managers ireland job....he said he had alot to learn about management as he realised he had made mistakes in club management. He said he felt O'neill was the man to learn under....so for me....if roy takes celtic job...then does he feel he has learnt enough despite only been in the job for 4 games (2 defeats , 1 draw and a win against a minnow side) ?....or was his initial quote about learning under o'neill just some rhetoric B.S to keep everyone happy ?
I think you nailed it in the final few words. Keane took the Ireland job because it came along while he was doing nothing. He'll take the Celtic job if it's offered because it's bigger than what he's doing with Ireland. If he's offered the Man Utd job while at Celtic, he'll take that too. He's no different to most really.
Always moaning about something. My Keandred spirit.
What's he moaning about?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Roy Keane, not DeLorean.

If Roy Keane used the forum...
I seen geysir is online. He's probably posting a comment right now. I'd waited long enough. I f****** hit him hard. The mouse was there I think. And don't ever stand over me sneering about Anthony Pilkington.
Roy leaves ITV and encounters a ****ing cameraman:
John Terry is the favourite to step in for Keane on ITV. That should be fairly lame so should save me flicking between channels. ITV is a pain to access on Sky anyway so it might be for the best all round! We need to savor every moment of Bill's swan song anyway!
There should be a sin binning on here for rehashing old hat.keep everyone on their toes.
