    Aye cos he never takes any of the blame. We'll end up going round in circles but I think the only reason he is still here is to get his payoff and as he knows he will never get a job like this again. He is 100% due his payoff and is well entitled to it the board have absolutely shafted him no doubt about it but this season with all that comes with it any self respecting 'Celtic man' would have walked away a long time ago even when we were winning games we were terrible.

    I agree with this. He’s a great underdog but always struggled with big games when he’s expected to win. That’s mostly down to his lack of professionalism. The Scottish league is the only league where he could be successful because the other teams are so unprofessional too (maybe not as bad this time around).

    Anywhere else his lack of professionalism wouldn’t work.

    Slaw's wishing to get a hiding from AC Milan doesn't seem so stupid to me as it did at the time anymore. In hindsight, I think I would rather have taken a hammering on Thursday and then won today.

    Maybe to an extent. Far more likely he wants money, since everyone wants money they’re due. I don’t know why anyone feels the need to make out he’s some sort of Mother Theresa saint. There’s no shame in wanting money he’s due. He won’t work as a big time manager again.

    When the second goal went in last week, as well as being annoyed and embarrassed, I was relieved because I thought that would be him gone and hopefully the nightmare would be over.

    He isn't being sacked before the cup final. If he * that then I don't think any fan will forgive him.

    His behaviour is certainly delusional. Whether that is born of arrogance or incognisance, who knows? It might be a bit of both.

    I haven't given it a second thought, to be honest. I doubt that we will be in the mood for celebrations if we win.

    He's * the league which is far more important than the cup final.

    And he's refusing to step down even though it's obvious he's finished. He values Neil Lennon more than he values Celtic Football Club. Of that there is no doubt.

    He's already behaving unforgivablly.

    He shouldn't be anywhere near that game. He should be clearing his desk tomorrow and be gone from Lennoxtown by 10am.

    He's getting a bit Trumpesque now in his interviews. Delusional and can't take any blame for anything. If he came out and said I've tried everything I can and it hasn't worked, it's time to give somebody else a chance to turn things around and showed a bit of humility (and understanding of the situation) he would go up significantly in the fans estimations although it's really about a month at least too late.

    Wow.....just watched his post match interview. He clearly states where the team is failing, where and what it " lacks" over and over again. But he is the manager so should be fixing it. Not one bit of responsibility taken in that interview. He refuses to see anything he is doing wrong and blaming the players.

    The ‘I hope we lose’ patter is as popular as a kick in the baws, but I’ve never seen an issue with it.

    It’s all about seeing the bigger picture, taking one step back to take two steps forward. Given that Thursday is a complete dead rubber, I would bite your hand off for the loss if it guaranteed Lennon would be gone and we could kick on domestically under a new manager.

    Our next manager can't have any form of connection to Celtic

    Winning the cup final means * all for me atm, he'll go and lose to the huns after it too so does it really matter?
