Neil Lennon

Well technically my first thought would be how do I * this job up and get away with it (paper over the cracks so to speak), then id probably try and blame some other *.

then id grab my tools and * off

 

Personally I'd always taken "a free pass" to mean absolving someone of responsibility and consequences rather than refusal to call someone a *.

I repeat that he's largely responsible (along with the board) for this season's * up. He should lose his job over it.

If you think that's me giving him a free pass, I don't know what to tell you.

 

The more I think about it that’s a really * analogy.

forget I said anything

 

White silicone m8 it's a fix all for u c#nts lol .

 

Ah, the Barnes manoeuvre.

 

You refusing to call him a * isn't why I'm saying you're giving him a free pass. Not sure why you seem to think that.

Absolving him of responsibility is exactly what you're doing. Not in the job he's doing, but of his choice to leave. You think the sole responsibility in him no longer being the Celtic manager is that of the board. Well it's not. He's also responsible for still being the Celtic manager.

I'm not saying you have to call him a *. But he deserves to be criticised for being too stubborn to do what's best for the club.

Stephen Robinson and Gary Holt have walked from their jobs this season because it wasn't working. They took some responsibility and did what was best for their club.

 

It wasn’t a black worktop

 

Like caulk for a painter

 

Fair enough - I also have never resorted to personal abuse of Lennon just professional.

I take issue with your statement that he "cares" - he has done a **** job this season (IMO things have been regressing since he came back but that's another argument)

He cares more about himself and his payoff than the club. The league was lost well before Saturday - IMO, any decent manager would have walked after the defeat and scandalous performance at home to Ross County. Look at WGS at Boro - admitted it hadn't worked - resigned and tore up his contract and walked without any payoff.

Lennon couldn't even imagine that sort of professional pride/dignity.

He'll be lucky to get another job in football and it'll be at a pretty low level if he does.

He has chosen to wait until his contract runs out or he is sacked and paid off.

I think you'll find that he'll be most remembered as the man who cost us 10IAR and then hung around to get as much money as possible out of the club.

 

Oh, I see what you're trying to say. I'm still not absolving him of responsibility, because it's never been his responsibility in the first place. It's quite literally the responsibility of the board to hire and fire managers.

He has that choice and it would be better for him to take it, though.

 

It makes sense when you remember who we are talking about here. They will be hoping things get so bad he resigns, so they don't have to fire him and pay out his years contract in full.

 

Unless you know him personally, how can you possibly know any of that?

Very admirable. I wish Lenny would do the same. It's not his responsibility to do so, though.

 

Now that he’s realised turnbull and soro are the way he better start picking Johnstone ahead of moi whether that be off the bench or first team boys ready to go

The more i think about it the more i have decided DD is just a *.

 

Desmond comes across as a total *. Wish he’d * off and let the real support run the club.

 

He is basically to us what Ally McCoist is for the huns

 

Not really, McCoist lost his job because the oldco were liquidated after years of continuous. corrupt and or inept mismanagement by various wealthy individuals running that club at different times. He wanted what he wss legally entitled to and got it.

Neil Lennon is managing a dysfunctional squad. Some have made no secret of their intention to leave for ( what they see as) a better league. Three ( Boyata, Dembele and Bolix2 ) have already gone, Ntcham and Edouard wont be far behind.
Some of the best players ( fighters) like Ajer, Laxalt and Soro will leave too, would you want to stay ?.

A newly signed goalie who is about as mobile as Quasimodo

One "star" wants to * off back to Israel for family reasons, then theres Bitton, and a couple of others who will will sit back as they have for the last 8/9 years, do the very minimum ( when not on the treatment bench ) and still collect their huge salaries.

But you think Neil Lennon should do the honourable thing: doff his cap, shake hands with the multi-millionaires on the Board, tear up his contract and walk away to a bleak future. While so many arseholes ( who are really to blame ) continue to draw their contract protected 800 thousand quid a year ?

Honourable ? when so many others have failed to honour their part of the deal why should he walk away with * all ?

 

why is this clueless * still here

 

He will not get paid out a years money. There has been a lot of BS talked about this - a 12 month rolling employment contract in UK law is a standard fixed term employment contract except it automatically rolls over when it expires unless one or both parties choose not to do so and follow the correct procedures regarding notice etc.

Assuming Lennon's contract expires on May 31 - the most that DD would have to pay out would be the remainder of that contract (or less if a specified period has been agreed in the contract i.e. 3 months).

Alas, I fear that Lennon may be manager next season. However, if DD decides not to keep him, as long as he provides the agreed legal notice to Lennon, the contract will expire on the final day.

My vague hope is that, as the season is effectively over, DD has decided to let Lennon see the season out and line someone up for June (particularly if compensation is involved as it will clearly be more mid season) . That way he doesn't have to pay off Lennon and pay a new manager from Jan - June.
