    Yes.

    Can you imagine a proper manager’s reaction to Lawwell’s antics?

    At this point I'm convinced Lenny has some major dirt on Lawwell that could have extreme consequences.

    We're clearly *, but how incompetent can we actually be for this man to still be in a job? I don't buy it any longer.

    From minute one of the season it has been a disaster. If you were being hypothetical and had imagined what a disastrous season beforehand looks like it would not have been worse than this. Yet he's still here?

    Its a horrific thought, Lennon being here longer than this week, never mind next season. But sadly its a realistic prospect as well with our decision makers.

    Gutting.

    The last one got up and left mid season.

    The next game Lawwell was seen laughing and giving it the thumbs up.

    I imagine anybody coming here from a higher level would look about and go 'what the *'s this'

    Then you've got * like Stevie Frail saying " Celtic's scouting network's incredible. I was tracking over a hundred players at one point"

    Well aye, it seems impressive to you, cause you've been at * Hearts your whole life.

    Bang on. Imagine Rodgers face when Lawwell tells him about Dudu Dahan while Rodgers is trying to sign Moussa Dembele, Scott Sinclair, Castagne etc.

    * me the John McGinn debacle alone :56:

    How low do we need to go before DD sacks his golf buddy.....3rd,4th or even no european spot next year.
    For the first time ever i want us to drop points so the healing can start. The fear in the back of my mind says if the 10 is gone they will see no point in sacking lennon as there is nothing left to maintain.

    Its mental to think that here we sit 21 points behind rangers, out of Europe, league Cup, terrible football, club in turmoil and all over the front pages, yet this * is still here.

    At least Rodgers * off. This guy is still here taking the * day in day out. And the most infuriating thing is you know he's going nowhere. For me its reached the stage where even the sight of him infuriates me and he will ONLY be remembered for this season let's be honest. Not just results wise but for me the way he has acted is so unprofessional. An utter farce. Just GO. Please.

    Since when was this acceptable for Celtic?

    I am done. Said it before anyone who puts money into the club next season if he sees it out needs to think. Long and hard.

    I'll never fully berate someone for supporting the club and buying s ticket, there are many reasons for it and end of the day they are just trying to support the team in their eyes.

    But this time we really are at the point where if you now willingly put money in to this club, you surely need to know you are bowing to lawwell and in the long term only keeping him and the board happy.

    The best way to support our team, our club, is to withhold for a moment in time to force a situation that helps us long term.

    It's hard for some, but truly not giving these * another penny is the way forward.

    Rodgers had somewhere else to be. This is literally Lennon's last management position. No other club would allow this to happen.

    How can a manager with the best players in the league, the most resources, a team that’s won the last 9 titles survive being 21 points behind in the league? Absolute embarrassment and mismanagement at every level. They have taken the * out of us this season.

    There's no reason for him to be here now, he himself knows this yet won't walk knowing every second he stays he alienates himself with the support, he failed, he knows this and if he's the true Celtic man like he says he is then he should step aside for someone else to fix this. Why the board never made the decision months ago is * puzzling, my only thinking is they haven't is bcoz keeping him was a 2 finger salute to the fans calling for change. There should be resignations on mass from the board to management team and find some people to match the ambitions of the Celtic fans.

    The league title should always be coming to us.

    We are by far the richest in every sense in Scotland, the only reason Lennon is in the role is because wanted to squeeze profits as much as possible and assumed that Lennon could continue Rodgers dominance, they thought Lennon would satiate fans because of the love we have for him.

    When trying to win any league title, hiring Lennon is a massive risk as whatever you aay about him, he's bang * average which is not celtic standards. To then hire Lennon for the 10iar, it is beyond arrogance, it is beyond contempt of the fans, that is pure penny pinching, milking every last penny they can.

    What is most ridiculous now though, is thay by the board taking this risk, they will see record losses now, record numbers of player exits, record drops in st renewals and what will they say is the problem...... Covid, not their incompetence or blind arrogance, covid.

    Utterly * with football nowadays man, not gonna lie was going through * that meant even under Rodgers I was struggling to find energy to follow the club, with the state of things now, it's just not a priority in my life and I've far greater things to worry about.

    * this.

    It's ironic that his never say die attitude and stubborn refusal to accept defeat was what made him the player he was but as a manager these same traits have been his downfall and will continue to be until somebody, anybody, has a word with him and tells him it's over (Or actually it was over a long time ago). Unfortunately I can't see that happening and we have the very real prospect of him and Kennedy in charge until the end of the season, no manager in his right mind would come anywhere near us right now and I never thought I'd say that as a Celtic fan. Even into the summer what manager would want to come and work under Lawell, nobody of any quality, he'll be looking for another puppet to dance to his tune. We can only hope Lawell leaves in the summer also.

    I could actually take losing the 10. If Sevco maintained their form, and we performed as expected based on results over the past few years, it would likely be a close run thing.

    I think it’s important that people don’t focus too much on results because they’re a fairly uncontrollable output. What’s much more difficult to accept for me is poor decision making, because that’s entirely on us. I don’t mean poor decision making with the power of hindsight either, but the type of poor decision making where you know it’s a poor decision before anything has even gone wrong.

    The Dubai trio is the latest, and a very clear example of that. It’s that kind of cognitive reasoning failure from board to management level that concerns me more than anything. It’s also why I would out us heavy underdogs next season, if we don’t start make the necessary changes until summer.

    It's going to be hard to summon up the enthusiasm to bother watching us play for the rest of the season with him still in charge. At least if we got someone new in now it would spark some interest as, even with nothing to play for, we could look for signs of what to expect going forward. As it is now we are just going backwards at an alarming rate.

    If you’re McInnes you’re 100% telling your players that we don’t have the stomach for a fight for 2nd place, and that if they stay close to us we’ll likely crumble.

    That’s a realistic possibility. Not even a particularly good Aberdeen side either.

    Don't see Lennon having any of these traits as a manager. Its pick the best 11 or whatever it is that goes through his selfish, small brain and hope for the best. Make subs from about 73mins onwards. Hope for the best. Full time. Say we were excellent and dominated.......And repeat.

    He is a parasite, a thoughtless mercenary. This isn't about Celtic for him. Its about himself now. And now he gets to shirk all responsibility from the media and fans as he's self isolating due to his demand for a jaunt to Dubai. * him. Fraud of a legend.
