    Ano this comments jokey but I’m going to rant anyway, it annoys me so much that pretty much the full fanvase has took that as the thing to slate our board saying.

    Board members have literally accused us of being anti-semites with less hassle man. Why’d that no catch on for a slating.

    I know where you're coming from. I was obviously taking the * but both the "knows the city" and "offered job in the shower" annoyed me as complaints at the time.

    It didn’t annoy but it’s steadily struck me as another example of the patronising wanks running us

    Their PPG is certainly not better.

    Rodgers' Invincibles drew 4 games. Won the rest in the league and two cups.

    The Klan have already drawn 3 times and have been pumped out of the league Cup and it's only January.

    Had we changed manager in October, or just never appointed Lennon in the first place, they'd be 2nd in the league.

    To me the "knows the city" comment was always a double entendre for he knows the shenanigans that happen in Scottish Football from officials and the media, having experienced it at length.

    That said people used to slate Lennon for losing the rag on the touchline at decisions and copping bans in his first spells but give me that over the passive, non-challenging approach that the whole club has adopted in the last 6-7 years. We're a soft touch.

    Hope his first interview back is of his resignation. Can't bear to listen to anymore of cringey * analysis or thoughts. Dragging us through this for his own agenda. Unforgivable.

    This is our mantra from top to bottom.

    There's no fight taking the hun's and SFA shenanigans on the chin or keeping completely silent. There's no fight on the pitch.

    We're a toothless club off and on the pitch.

    'War is bad for business'

    Looking after the best interests of the football club - ie. not bending over when evidence of corruption and collusion is found - might be bad for the bottom line.

    Parks of Hamilton might remove their providing free team buses if we rock the boat too much.

    Cash primarily. To stay in a high profile job serve his cv and ego. The club and fans are an after thought. His interview after the final summed it up.

    He could come out and say this then sell t-shirts with the quote on it and people would still defend him and deny it.

    Money and the fact he knows this is his last high profile gig, no top club will want a manager with such a terrible and unprofessional record, we know it, he knows it. He’ll end up at some no mark EFL team then a every so often pundit on Premier sports.

    His methods are outdated. He is a relic of a bygone age of football management. Despite his failings BR showed us what could be achieved with a modern manager using modern thinking and techniques.

    Yep. Zero excuse for hiring him and that’s why the whole board should be replaced.

    I think its time for change as much as the next but while I think Rodgers is a good manager the stick that is used to beat lennon with is that he's had no competition and beat no one. What competition did Rodgers have when he was up here?
