    To be fair we worked off a rolling contract for well over a decade before Brendan got his long deal.

    Yep.

    So confident in him they wouldn’t give him a long term deal and have picked his staff.



    Best manager we could get though...

    “Lets give it a shot and see how it works out and if you do well we will renew after 12 months”

    I find this alone really embarrassing and shows an element of uncertainty from the board. At the very least they could have given him a two year deal. The way our board skimp and low ball is really shameful at times.

    Rolling contract means he will always have 12 months left on his deal doesn't it? So basically if/when we sack him we have to pay him off for 12 months.

    Not in the mood for negativity! Now he has signed a years contract we can look forward to the new chapter our amazing history.

    We know Lenny will be chomping at the bit to put stamp on the team. The last time he done that we improved no end. If he is able to do that to this team and keep us moving forward then we are in for exciting times.

    I have been shouting for Lenny since the snake left us. I have taken some stick and some have agreed with me. Whatever your view point has been now is the time to get behind him and now we can start judging his second reign. Everything we acheive or don't achieve from this point is 100% Lennon's work. As opposed to working with someone else's team, system and wondering where is long term future lay.

    Exciting times. Bring back the thunder Neil :ynwacelti

    That's not how a rolling contract works.

    Every day Neil wakes up he has 12 months left on his deal.

    I might be wrong but I think it means the contract always has 12 months on it until we give him notice.

    Works both ways if anyone wants him we get compo for the 12 months if he wants to leave he has to give us 12 months, if we sack him he gets paid for 12 months.

    Lawwell is a lot of things but he knew what he was doing when he signed Rodgers and his team upto a long term deal with a £9m release clause!

    Press release should read ..

    "Peter Lawwell is over the moon Neil Lennon has become manager of Celtic again. With a considerably lower salary than the rest of the names linked with the job (who were never really approached) Peter is excited for the season ahead as his bonus will now reach upwards of 5 million pounds with the costs saved.

    "We've known Neil for a long time and what he brings to the club, we were particularly drawn to the fact he works on a tiny transfer budget, happy to re-sign players long past their best and doesnt question me or "Mr Desmond" about how we milk Celtic FC and their fans dry for our own gratification. I have a big hope for 10 (bonuses) in a row and Neil is certain to lead me there. Joining Neil will be John Job for Life Kennedy who again commands respect in the boardroom for his business acumen and especially his low insignificant financial demands in return for a seat on the bench.

    We believe the fans will also be ecstatic based on neils past successes at midtable Hibs and relegated Bolton which provides the key experience and building on continuing Brendan Rodgers blueprint (ripped up) to make Celtic a competitive football force domestically and in Europe. Winning the coveted 10 in a row requires a calm, cool, and experienced high level coach which Mr Lennon is in abundance, or at least we made him think that as I deleted another zero off his salary on his contract

    See you all next season.

    Peter, hard at work dealing with transfers....on the

    French Riviera
