Journalist Alan Nixon looks to have cleared up the rumours suggesting that the club could try and make a move for Roy Keane as manager.

According to Nixon, the former Celtic and Manchester United midfielder wanted the job ‘badly’, however, officials at the club did not feel the same way and decided to look elsewhere.

This news would come as a relief to some with Keane being far from the preferred candidate with almost 10 years out of the managerial game.

Some may have had a rethink after what has been an emotional 24 hours on the managerial front. But, in all honesty, I don’t personally see Keane as a better candidate than the linked Ange Postecoglou.

It might not be a statement that some agree with but in my opinion, at the very least, the style of football that the former Aussie boss attempts to play would suit the club a lot better.

This situation looks to be coming to an end after months of speculation and waiting but it’s far from the ideal scenario in the end.
