Neil Lennon

Board know people will flood back to watch football again they will wait this out

 

What the * does he actually need to do to be sacked ?

 

* constantly scunbetted the noo, tbh.

 

See if I see one more person saying Lennon “rescued us” after the rat left. You are making it seem like he came in and worked for free! He was offered a handsome package one would imagine when he had * else going on. We gave him a chance when no one else was looking at him.
What a trooper!

 

At this stage, it's much more likely that they've asked him to stay in the position while they're trying to sort a replacement. And they're really struggling to do so.

He's completely * defeated and doesn't want to be there. IMO

 

I thought we’d hit rock bottom but clearly not...

How much more of this are we going to have to endure before we actually see a change ffs.

If the board had just sacked Lennon when every man and their dog knew his time was up (after Sparta B team battered us) then they’d be under a lot less scrutiny than they are now. But instead they’ve made their own positions untenable as well.

They’ve been shown to be asleep at the wheel and cannot be forgiven for overseeing this shambles.

 

This is it for me.

Board are clueless, negligent and impotent. Blissfully ignoring what is staring them in the face. It's a situation that could have been well planned for when Rodgers was still here, in fact, any Risk Assessment as a season unfolds should have some sort of contingency for * hitting the fan like this.

Board are *.

 

The problem this time around is that they have * over all of the support and lost the 10 in a row. A huge amount of fans will not forgive that,and going back to 1 title would * people off. If they really think Paradise will be packed to the rafters after this they are in for a massive shock

 

Same mate, same

 

Suppose one good thing is any new manager won’t have much to live up to.

 

Lennon came in and raised the standards in Europe last season on the previous campaigns. In terms of statistics such as goals scored in the league, it was a really enjoyable season. We were on track to some of our best records. That's what I mean by him rescuing us Lennon was the architect of that. We ground out results big wins away to Easter Road in the cup and in the final came from behind to beat Hearts. He delivered the treble treble. The team wasn't playing their best football towards the end of Rodgers season but he got it over the line. It has nothing to do with playing for free. I couldn't name a single football manager that has walked out of his club and abandoned his team to sit on the side lines. Never mind giving up his well earned money! Lennon did well last season. Just like he did in his first term as manager. Just as he did well as captain of Celtic and of course as a player. The guy is made of steel on and off the park. He's lived a brilliant life.

The results are really poor this season. He knows he should be sacked. He's fighting to keep his livelyhood, you can't expect Lenny to go down without a fight. It's shocking that the board are not listening to the fans and are dithering over making a change 2 wins in 12 is disgrace the entire support is now united on a new manager, background team. Its an SOS save our season moment the board aren't listening.

 

Win games?

 

Complete slap in the face to every single one of us supporters. Quite clear they don't give a * about us.

 

I tried to suggest a couple of weeks ago that the board should always have a contingency plan in place in case this situation comes up. A rolling list of candidates they would approach in case the manager becomes a dud. I had someone arguing with me basically that that was an unreasonable thing to expect of the board.

Anyway - I don't think there would be any shortage of candidates that would be willing to come here and improve us immediately. The problem is very few will meet Lawwell's requirement of 'Knowing the City' - which is a code word he uses to mean, 'Knows I'm the boss and doesn't overstep their mark'. No decent manager would work with Lawwell. He'll only hire in a Jack Ross or an Alan Stubbs, someone who is just happy to quadruple their salary and will keep their mouth shut.

The only time we've reached our potential and had sustained success is when Desmond went over Lawwell's head and got in Rodgers, and Lawwell * hated it. From Mowbray to now, Lawwell has stagnated this club when we should've went into the stratosphere.

If we can take control of the club we can ensure we always hire the best manager for Celtic, not the best manager for the CEO.

 

Got a text from a hun ex workmate today .. " 55 DONE " forgot that was their holy grail !
Yes , thats me rock bottom now .
ps , no heard from the ersehole in years .

 

I think we would all have more respect for him, if he just held his hands up and said it’s just not working. Someone new has to come in with fresh ideas.

 

I've lost all respect I had for him.

 

Fences look to be coming down anyway
