    The damage was done before today. He's not the manager we need, he won't bring us the players we need and he should never have been brought here full time.

    Desmond, Lawwell, Bankier, a wee clique of arrogant, obtuse, self serving * rats who need to be hunted from this club.

    The board won’t get rid of him easily. They’ve managed to get someone that the support consider a Celtic legend to sit and cheerlead for them while they make drastic cuts in every direction.

    It’s all about control, not the club. The board want to control everything and the only manager they can get to do it is ones like Lennon that can’t get a job anywhere else. Lennon is the golden candidate because his ‘legend’ status means the fans will put up with him.

    His subs today were panicky, unsettling and down right bizarre.

    The difference is when Rodgers went down to 10 at Ibrox, he brought on Edouard and went on the attack.

    Lennon broke up the midfield rhythm and brought on a player who openly doesn’t want to be at the club and killed any chance we had in the game.

    Can I call him a * yet, without some people greeting about personal abuse?

    Because he is a *.

    Totally agree mate. Warning signs were there when he came on against United. Could have gave away a pen with a stupid challenge. If that game was nil nil instead of 3 nil it may have been different. He has it in him. We know it and Lennon must know it too.

    I would’ve started Bitton ahead of Welsh in all honesty.

    Duffy would be 6th choice after Ajer, Julien, Bitton, Welsh, ElHamed, and any *.

    What’s even more confusing is that we’re roughly playing the same system that won us the league last year but it took until December/January for us to revert back to something similar, mind boggling.

    I know we didn't lose the league today. I've been very vocal about Lennon the past few months. I agree with you. My point is how far we have regressed compared to the zombies.

    No players will be signed permanently in January cause he won’t be the manager next season. Leagues * so if the board have any sense they’d try their best to bring a new manager in now so he can assess the squad and prepare for next season. No logic whatsoever in keeping Lennon until the summer. Need to start the rebuild now.

    Not a fault today, however season as a whole hasn’t been good enough.

    He has stumbled upon a team selection that seems to have a will to win, Not through his competence as a manager.

    We need a full change of approach, coaching and improving players seems to be non existent. A Celtic man doesn’t cut it anymore.

    I think the Board tried to save money by giving Lenny the job, ironic that it's probably lost the club 50 mil in CL revenue.

    By accident or design he's managed to come up with a system that has had us playing much better in recent weeks. I was worried about our defensive shape, but was also cautiosuly optimistic ahead of today. Thought the team selection and tactics were spot on, which was a nice surprise. We were unlucky not to be at least a goal ahead at HT.

    When we get a man sent off it looks like Lennon didn't have a clue how to deal with it. Subs and changed of shape hindered us rather than helped us, and we go on to concede a goal from a set piece.

    We need to end the season as strongly as possible and hope Rangers have a wee wobble that turns into something we can capitalise on. Realistically, though, we need to be planning for how we'll regain the title next season. I don't think anyone here expects, or wants Lennon to be the man in charge for that.

    Well, that’s it then.

    I will never see a shot at “10” in my remaining lifetime.

    Every single one of them at Celtic Park should hang their heads in shame.

    The board for appointing a manager and not allowing him to have his own backroom team.

    The board for not standing up for financial fair play (and numerous other regulatory issues) that have allowed a technically trading whilst insolvent clumpany to catch us and embarrass us as the animal majority in this bigoted toilet of a country stand by and laugh.

    The PR department that is headed by spineless non Celtic supporters.

    The CEO who thinks he’s Billy Big Baws and signs players without his managers consent.

    The manager who is a stubborn brat pulling stunts to highlight his hands are tied behind his back but still should get much more out of this squad.

    The manager who blindly plays players he literally name checked as not applying themselves.

    The two other stooges in the dug out.

    The aforementioned players not applying themselves. The stupid mistakes that have cost us points all over the shop. The players for not running through brick walls for us. Some of the performances have been abject and a disgrace to their profession.

    Coming back to the manager, it is patently clear to everyone apart from the CEO and defacto owner that there is a massive disconnect between the manager, his foisted upon him coaching staff and the players. The manager should be big enough to say what it is, maybe he did in August? Unfortunately when it comes down to this situation you can’t sack the players and all the staff so the manager needs replaced to see if that gees everyone up.

    The time for change was August after another pathetic European CL qualification capitulation. Beyond that you could pick any one of the shocking Europa League results as “the time for change” and finally the wholly unacceptable attempt against Ross County in the League Cup.

    A handful of glaring signs that managerial change was needed. The board are to blame for that.

    I am seething at some of the players and their lack of interest and effort. We know who they are and yet they keep their places and they continue to play with indifference, but hey! They bust a gut for Scotland.

    Neil Lennon now has the wrong punctuation mark on his association with Celtic. He has many faults, but should never have still been in this position. This falls on the board.

    Shame on them all.

    I would have as well, but we all know we should be better set than this. Spent a fortune and our options are *. Bitton shouldn't even be here anymore.

    He should go now.
    He should not have a say on any new signings in this transfer window.
