Neil Lennon

It's 2019 mate. We're pretty likely to win the treble every season for the foreseeable future.
Certainly if we're ran properly as a club we should be utterly dominating domestically even more so as if we could literally buy every player in Scotland.
We might never reach the last 16 again however, we'll probably not even be in the Champions League - it'll be either the Europa or this new 3rd rate competition.

People seem to underrate that we beat Barcelona and made it to the best 16 teams in Europe with Kelvin Wilson and Efe Ambrose as our defensive partnership.

 

Love Lennon

Step away from the keyboard...

 

In that sense Bayern, psg, juventus should always win the treble. You are seriously undermining that achievement.

 

In terms of Lennon, IF he has squared up to a player and given that googely-eyed hun boot Dempster and earful (whether rightly or wrongly), do people honestly think that if he's been "aggresive" toward a CEO at Hibs then Peter Lawwell is EVER going to consider him for a return to Celtic, considering their already chequered past together?

 

There is absolutely no comparison between the SPL and those leagues you mentioned.

Name me another league where the champions have literally thrice the budget of our nearest rivals. The tables are turned when we face Europe. Us beating Champions League teams over 6 games, plus 6-8 more qualifiers is a bigger achievement than winning 7 domestic trophies in a row.

 

Better than a double treble.

 

I don't think we should or will win trebles every year, but in fairness psg have won 3 trebles in last 4 years, no doubt they consider domestic cup domination secondary to europe, and we should have same mentality albeit scaled own

 

Bayern and Juventus cannot win a treble as their countries do not have a league cup, but in fact, since you mentioned, Juventus have won the League and the Cup 4 times in the last four years. PSG, 3 trebles in 4 years.

 

Mongo.

 

Exactly that.

But while managers can indeed be like that, the vast majority of footballers are terrible, spoiled children, who always get away with being stupid, incompetent or actively sabotaging their job in ways most of us in our jobs could not dream off. The examples of players downing the tools and playing * football until the season is ruined, until the manager gets sacked and then they magically re learn to play football are everywhere. This would not be accepted in any other business, in fact in many of them would constitute a reason for prosecution. In football it is perfectly fine, and 10 times out of 10 they get rewarded for such behaviour.

We cannot know what happened for sure but I surely would trust Lennon above that pack of journeymen who cannot be arsed to do their job against Motherwell. Probably Lennon tried to hold those people to account, which is literally his job, and got punished for it.

 

Heard the filth are saying on their forum,Lennon called Dempster a * and punched her office door!! also says this is why Scotland should have never let Irish Catholics into the country!!Bigotfest scummybastards

 

And why are you soiling this sacred place with their * biased bigoted rumours?

 

Go back to your EPL if you don't think anything we win in Scotland means anything, because it * does. * school kids shouldn't be allowed on here, stick to your Facebook.

 

So it’s Kamberi who is at the centre of the suspension poor wall flower couldn’t take getting criticised

 

No-one knows for sure how relations stretched to breaking point with Neil Lennon and Hibs but there is little ambiguity about just how irreparable the damage is.

Legal teams will take charge of the formal and bitter fallout but it was an emotional bursting of the dam that sealed Lennon’s fate at Hibs this week. As the divorce between the 47-year-old and the Easter Road club awaits confirmation the love seemed to have been lost between the duo long before the explosive events that took place on Friday afternoon.



With the players given Thursday off, Lennon called a summit for Friday with the full squad asked to attend in the aftermath of the midweek defeat to Motherwell. It is also believed that several members of the coaching staff were also there – Lee Makel, Eddie May, Grant Murray and Alan Combe are all thought to have been present.

What followed was a robust and frank exchange as the coaches were vocal in their criticism of performances and players with the contribution of certain individuals questioned. Swiss striker Florian Kamberi reacted furiously to the criticism, believing it to be aggressive and over the top with the forward threatening to quit the club in the aftermath of the meeting.

When the coaching staff left the meeting it is believed that the players themselves continued the debate.

Lennon then went into his scheduled meeting with Dempster but rather than discussing transfers, they immediately began arguing over the first meeting of the day. It is thought that there was an allegation made that both Lennon and his assistant Garry Parker had used foul and aggressive language with Kamberi's situation at the core of the dispute between the chief executive and Lennon.

It is understood that Lennon furiously denied the charge and maintained his innocence of the accusations, leading to a heated and angry debate between him and Dempster. Key to Lennon's frustration was the belieff that Dempster had taken second-hand information from others over his own word. Both Lennon and Parker were then informed that they had been suspended with immediate effect as the club launched a probe into the incident.



At the end of last season as Hibs were chasing second spot a defeat to Hearts in the Tynecastle derby prompted suggestions that he was ready to call time on the arrangement between himself and Hibs after branding his own players unprofessional. Results this season have been underwhelming with a recent slump taking Hibs to eighth in the table, with Lennon unwilling to hide his frustrations at both player performances and his feeling that he was not allowed to adequately replace the likes of Dylan McGeouch and John McGinn who left the club in the summer transfer window.


Kamberi was publicly criticised by Lennon just before Christmas for “a lack of hunger” and it was the 1-0 midweek defeat to Motherwell that prompted the furious squad meeting early afternoon on Friday at the club’s East Mains training ground.

The manner of the parting will now be in the hands of the lawyers. Lennon, contracted to Hibs until 2020, is not expected to take charge of another Hibs game and it will be interesting to see what kind of reaction there is this afternoon against St Mirren.


One of the first to voice his support of Lennon last night was Hearts manager Craig Levein. The Tynecastle manager, no stranger himself to be at the heart of an argument, said: “I don’t know what’s happened in all honesty although I hope he’s okay as I actually really like Lenny.

“We’ve been on opposite sides of the city, we both want the same things for our clubs and we’ve had our moments but I have a huge amount of time for him.

“I like him as a guy and I hope he’s all right but really I’m speaking blind and I don’t know what’s gone on.”

 

Lol. Don't burst another blood vessel grandad. I'm 27 and long past school.
I've also travelled a fair bit outside of Scotland and the "EPL" and can tell you categorically nothing we do or win in Scotland matters a * to anyone outside that tiny bubble. More people watched us beat Barca in 2012 than watched our last 3 cup finals combined.
Like it or not, accept it or not.

Lennon>>>>Strachan>>>>>>>Rodgers as Celtic managers in the last decade odd.

 

Why does it matter to you what anyone other than Celtic fans think of our achievements? Seems irrelevant really.

 

Suppose you won't be celebrating the ten either because it means * all to you and all the other people outside Scotland. I don't give a * what people in outside leagues think. Winning here might mean * all to you, but winning in our country and our league and our cups means alot more than competing in some rigged for the rich European cup.

 

Who gives two flying * what people in England think about our league.
