Peter Lawwell

Leicester are welcome to him too.

 

Lennon is the only "cheap" option that the fans would accept, no questions asked.

But if it isn't Lennon, it needs to be a manager with a certain calibre, like we did with He Who Must Not Be Named.

 

Yes, I maybe has something to do with the quickness of the situation or that what was presented to Lennon It’s JK and Duff or nothing

 

If I’m totally honest I Love Lennon I really do but I want someone else in charge but I’ve got a feeling he will be made permanent manager on a 1 year rolling contract again like last time.

 

This * has been the stem of all our problems the last 10 year. He's a penny pinching *...until it comes to his bonus.

 

What’s wrong with Ajer?

 

No got a beard.

 

No he’s not. He’s just an easy target for a lot of people.
Do you think he’s to blame for Rodgers going?

 

Possibly. Think it’s certain JK is being groomed for the main job. If Lennon leads us to the 10 with JK by his side and then decides to leave on his terms, the big man should get a shot of the top job.

By then, Brown will be his #2

 

Yes.

 

Welcome mate, nice to see a few new ones join recently. Hopefully you stick around.
In what way is it PL’s fault.

 

Thanks man. It's good to be here.

I don't think the timing was Peter Lawwell's fault but Rodgers choosing to leave -and my understanding was he was initially due to leave during the winter break- was because Peter Lawwell refused to change the club's spending model to match Rodgers' ambition.

The disastrous transfer activity during the summer was the straw that broke the camel's back. I think it was unforgivable of Rodgers to leave us when he did but if he had left in the summer the finger of blame would quite clearly have been pointed at Peter Lawwell and the board for not backing Rodgers. Just because the timing changed doesn't mean the ultimate reasons for Rodgers leaving have changed.

 

As has been pointed out numerous times. The board make the final decisions, dermot has a big say as well, it might be PL’s blueprint but the ultimate decision isn’t his.

 

Indeed. Obviously, Desmond is ultimately in charge. But the financial model that is in place and the day to day running of the club is the domain of Peter Lawwell.

 

I think the loyalty shown by the guys who stayed meant so much more and was repaid by trying to fit them as a package to Lennon,who would have a less active duty ,more there to steer the club and be the leader /figurehead .

I like that lenny gave Kennedy the plaudits for moving forrest more central ,maybe he has had more input to results and tactics than we know, his quote about being a calm head and can see things in a more simple way is telling , lenny has been a hated figure here for so long and media have much of the blame for that ,I get the feeling he is trying to approach it differently this time and not show that firey side in public to much ,that will be difficult imo ,I also feel our last manager was tolerated rather than liked , professional in his approach is the best way to describe him (before last week) now there are many more ways ,but you just knew the media where desperate to nail him on anything , the one that grabbed my attention most was his partners ex story ,but anyways onwards and upwards knowing we won't lose any battles when they come under lenny.

 

He runs our club like a * casino.

The punters come in with bursting pockets, leave empty pockets, the money is recycled into hotels and light shows.

All glitz and no character. * sam rothstien.

 

“The problems of the last 7-10 years”?

I will take those “problems” any day of the week in comparison to the real problems of 89-95.

We would be going for 20 in a row if it wasn’t for cheating.

I hate that our club has not called out the SFA, the Cheats, the media and the police. In fact I am appalled. I get the impression that Lawwell thinks he’s smarter than everyone else and, on occasion, he has met his match and ultimately the fans suffer and he sits smugly smiling to mask said failure.

What cannot be distorted or disputed is that our wages are at an all time high and we must recognise that the upper echelons of Europe are out of our reach ergo the players and salaries required to have a shot at it. Europa is our level and our current squad of players should be competing at that level. Sadly tactics and some very poor performances have hindered our European exploits of late. Notwithstanding the addition of a couple of “quality” signings within our budget range. Remember we have squandered many millions on duds, permanently injured duds and unrecognisable squad filling training bib duds. That’s not Lawwell’s fault.

A smug *? Perhaps?

Keeping the Celtic machine running successfully? Yes?

We have no Scottish rival that can touch us in any department. Europe is the key but we must temper our ambition with the reality that the media revenue is just not here in Scotland in comparison with other European countries, including Scandinavia.

 

Didn’t we double the wage bill under Rodgers? And spend £9m on Edouard & £4.5m on Ntcham?

If his ambition was to do better in Europe then maybe he should have asked Lennon for pointers on how to set up against PSG and the likes.

And not recruited his pal to scout the Marvin Comppers and Jack Hendrys of the world.

 

I agree the way Rogers set us up to play in Europe was calamitous and led to unacceptable hammerings. Nor do I think he has any talent for spotting defenders. But that has nothing to do with the spending model.

We did pay large fees for Eddy and Ntcham. Rogers wanted to continue down that route and change the model to buy fewer players, but higher priced players. Peter Lawwell didn't want to change the approach taken under his reign, which is to buy lower priced players to try and sell on at a large profit. A large part of the reason we have such a large wage bill is that we have accumulated a large squad of low priced players that we cannot sell on. That was not Rogers' preferred approach.
