Neil Lennon

I can see it already at his press conference this Milan game will be painted as an important game. We turn up tomorrow take our pumping then after the game he will say it was basically a free hit and it was good to get some squad players game time cos it can benefit us in future

 

And yet again, he continues to come out with utter belters

And they are getting worse

 

Sounding like there will be for every game going forward.

 

If we beat Hearts, he might even see out the season.

 

From the times:

Neil Lennon has discussed Celtic fans' protests for the first time since his side's 2-0 defeat to Ross County sparked ugly scenes outside Parkhead last weekend - insisting "he'd have understood" if the club decided to sack him.

The manager has come under fire recently with just two wins from 10 and raging supporters arrived at Celtic Park in their hundreds to demand he leave his post. The club board gave him a vote of confidence, however, and said he would remain at the helm in a bid to turn things around.

But Lennon claims he would have understood if Peter Lawwell and Dermot Desmond had decided to pull the trigger and axe the boss. "They’re not a board who just sack managers for the sake of it," the Northern Irishman said this afternoon, breaking his silence on the issue.

Celtic now have AC Milan to contend with tomorrow evening in Europa League action despite being out of the competition. Then they face St Johnstone at the weekend and have a Scottish Cup final to look forward to against Hearts.


Mr Lawwell recently backed Lennon again with a statement, saying: "Like all those with Celtic’s best interests at heart, everyone at the club is feeling the same hurt, disappointment and frustration following the team’s recent results.

"We are accustomed to winning and, of course, our objective will always be for that to continue. There is no complacency whatsoever. Neil, the players and backroom staff, who have already done so much for the club, share in all of that. They have never been more determined to succeed.

"Having enjoyed such sustained, unprecedented success, we now need strength in adversity. We know that many Celtic supporters share very honest and real concerns and they are being heard by the club. Every decision taken, both on and off the park, is with the Club’s best interests at heart.

"This is not about any individual, but about Celtic Football Club as a collective. Together we have faced unique difficulties in the early part of the season. While some of these were beyond our control, of course we recognise we must improve. There is a long way to go and everyone at the club is ready for the challenge. Later this month, Celtic will attempt what no other club in the world has achieved – a quadruple treble in domestic competitions.


"We can best prepare for that and for our other remaining competitions this season by moving forward together, with the sole aim of achieving continued success for the club."

Lawwell's comments did not wash with all supporters, however, with some demanding REFUNDS as they hope to hit the board in the wallet.

 

Unreal..

 

So, you know you are * and know you should be sacked.
Claim to be a Celtic man and one of us, yet won't do the right thing here?

Spells only one thing - money comes first.
Which I get, it is a job after all. But hardly like he is short of needing to work ever again in his life.

 

Christ you're like the Grim Reaper!

Comes with nothing but bad news!

 

Sorry.

 

It’s worse than that mate. He’s been actively taunting the fans.

 

No Neil we're disappointed and hurt and it quite clearly has served a purpose there is a huge groundswell of support and for the most part a united front unfortunately though the money men at the club aren't on our side.

 

I am growing to resent him. Never thought I would but he is talking absolute * so * only knows what he is telling the player. The fact that Ryan Christie still takes our corners tells me all I need to know about his 'management'

 

I can't be arsed listening to this turnip anymore.

 

"Thought your corners were superb Ryanie, and if the Ross County defenders were Celtic players you'd have been picking out your team mates all game."

 

* sake, thats even worse now.
Just seeing this one now @JamesM09

Fans voice is worthless?
Has he literally just * said the fans should shut the * up and our voice is worthless?

 

It comes on quickly. A week or so ago I was still trying to let him do the right thing, but more and more he is treating the fans like utter *.

At least the rat had the decency to pretend to give a * about our voice.

 

Neil Lennon’s wants Celtic to succeed under him, but not enough for him to actually work.

He wants to just turn up at press conferences and be a smart * and hope the players find a way to win without his input.

Such a lazy coach.

 

NL: “It’s a difficult time because of the results and we know we are better than that. Our reaction when we go a goal down has to be better. We are confident we can turn it around and confident we can go to Italy and put in a good performance.”


That's AC getting a goal headstart then. How about trying to react better to kick off ya clown

 

Why does he keep trying to associate himself with every success this club has had since 2000?

You’d think he’d won everything and never lost a * thing man.
