    Lennon is a disgrace too.

    Couldn't get away quickly enough first time round when he thought he was better than the club and Scottish football, now leeching off the club because he knows he'll never get a better job. He's no Celtic man. That myth can be put to rest now.

    Agreed.

    Putting his pockets before the club he supports. Shameless.

    If he has any dignity he’d walk.

    Hahahahaha

    “club he supports”

    he’s a * mercenary. Always has been, always will be. He needs to * off before things get a lot more toxic than they already are.

    If that's their decision then 200 could easily be 2000 for the game against St Johnstone.

    They can count themselves lucky the AGM is virtual this year or there would have barneys at that too.

    I think they're seriously misjudging the mood in the camp if they think this is a minority or that supporters are going to back down.

    We live in a world where the 26 richest individuals have more wealth than half the worlds poorest population... 2 billion

    26 people ....
    have more $$$$$ than 2,000,000000

    ...and football probably has has less morals than world business as a whole.

    * Neil Lennon by the way.

    * has absolutely rode us for dosh, he could have walked away with dignity after the Aberdeen draw and everybody would be behind him, he could have left after the first Sparta pumping and most people would still be behind him

    Instead, we lose 2-0 at home to Ross County, a game in which they * DESERVED to win, and he clamours on about how he can still change it around and refuses to quit?

    Some Celtic man, Ronny Deila realized he wasn't up for it and said he would leave after the huns beat us, funny that.

    And here's another thing.......

    If the players want rid of the manager(and they're playing as though they do), what the * are they going to make of that decision? This is just setting us up for more poor performances and results.

    We are literally one or two more bad results from the league being over. I cannot believe that Lawwell and Desmond don't realise that. And if they do realise it but are refusing to act, then they are so unbelievably arrogant that I don't know what else to say about them.

    Lennon may have many faults but he has given us so much over most of the past 2 decades as a player and a manager. He is not perfect by any stretch, who is but he is IMHO a class act as person, a true Celtic man and a Celtic great overall for what he has accomplished at the club.

    As for when he left last time he left because at the time he saw the team he build pretty much from scratch with the money from the sales of McGeady mostly but also Boruc sold off one by one and he did not have at the time the ability to say yes or no as at the time he pretty much had no control over transfer policy. He did not run out the door he simply became frustrated watching the team he build being sold one by one. The refusal to offer Samaras a new contract was the final straw and he resigned.


    As such I hope he sees sense and resigns this week so he can walk away with dignity.

    Its * mental.

    I'm lost for words. Be interesting to see if any future managers get the same backing...I highly doubt it unless their middle name is * Francis.

    There's this bizzare belief he 'rescued' us when Rodgers went to Leicester.. as if he left some cracking job to take over a mess purely out of love for Celtic.

    In fact we were the ones doing him a favour offering him his old job after he walked out the first time only to balls it up with Bolton and Hibs. Managers with those credentials don't get to manage Celtic. No wonder we're in the mess we're in.

    He said he left because he couldn't take the club forward.

    That startling admission was made in 2014... what's changed?

    Couldn't disagree more.

    He left in his first spell after 4 years which is the common shelf-life for managers - if not shorter.

    He's not "leeching" off anyone he was given a contract by the board against the majority verdict of the support, he delivered on all objectives last season bar qualification to the UCL.

    This season has been a disaster and it's patently obvious there's something rotten behind the scenes that's irreparable but it's down to the board to lead us as a club, not bank on a guy to forego what he's contractually due because he's a Celtic man.

    If and when Lawwell leaves his post you can be sure he will take every last penny he is due but he tries to make sure others don't do the same. Whether that be when he ordered Strachan to freeze out Balde for having the audacity to not want to drop his £32k a week wages or McNamara when he tried to hold out til after his contract had expired to offer him reduced terms at which point he was already on his way down to Wolves.

    The board are willing to let the club go into further freefall in the hope that Lennon relinquishes the last big football salary he might ever have. It's rotten.

    This is all on the board. Lennon is their man. if they don't think he's capable of the job, they should be taking action, paying him his 12 months severance pay and bringing in a new management team that can turn things round.

    If they aren't capable of that basic level of corporate diligence then it should be them resigning.

    I detest Lawwell and the board. There is no doubt they are primarily to blame for allowing this disaster to unfold.

    However, Lennon should have the decency to walk. He said he could take us no further in 2014, so what has changed? How is he now suddenly the man to take us forward in what remains of 2020, or * forbid, 2021?

    The reason he is clinging on is because he knows he'll never get a better job than the one he's in now. He doesn't give a * if he runs us into the ground, which is what he's doing, as long as he's getting paid. He's a disgrace.

    If a mediocre manager is hired or Lennon is allowed to continue managing this club then any supporter buying a season ticket next season is culpable in the regression of this football club.

    Faithful support - it isn't about blind loyalty to * that don't give a * about you. Tory * that treat you like a resource to be exploited. That's precisely what the huns are about with their monarchs. That should not be us.

    Faith is about acting in good faith. It's about honestly wanting the club to succeed for the whole, not the individual. Right now, this club is all about Peter Lawwell and his little empire of yes men. It's not faithfully trying to be the best it can be. It's not faithfully trying to entertain the support with good football.

    Withhold your money, drive the rot out and we can truly fulfil our potential. We got a glimpse of what this club can be when Lawwell is removed from the equation.

    Starve them out with your money.
