Neil Lennon

Great to have him back home where he belongs. Lennon is a legend.

 

Is Gary Parker coming back with Lennon? I presume he is.

And I'm also very doubtful that Rodgers asked John Kennedy to go to Leicester?

 

He's coming in into totally different circumstances to the last time, We couldn't buy a win under Mowbray shocking defense , a squad de motivated and all over the shop wich he had to motivate and finish the season with a wee bit of credibility then gutted the squad.

Now he only needs to guide the ship of a winning machine and far stronger squad , while putting a wee bit of his own touch into things too.

 

No mention of Parker, might happen if he gets the job on a permanent deal..

 

If it goes well, it should be less turmoil in the summer and targets in early for CL..

 

Initial Hun glee over BR is now being turned down, as the morons realise that BR maybe off but the team aint !!!!

 

Guys is lenny in dugout tonight. If he is ann budge better get her apologies for the diet huns sectarianism now.lol. welcome home lurgan sodbuster.HH.

 

Lenny wouldn't have been my choice, think he had his time and I'm hoping he's maybe ironing out the flaws he had, especially with the team getting too lackadaisical at times.

However I'm pretty sure the majority of us if asked who we'd love to see win the league as manager for 10, I'm pretty sure Lenny would be the one.

 

Who else couldve come it at literally overnight notice ?

 

Aye its Rodgers whose gone...not the team !!!!!!

 

Just heard the referees have gone on strike again.

 

he needs to bring the Celtic jacket with the tri colour collars back

 

Went into my facebook memories today and it was highlights of skelping Aberdeen 9-0.

More of that please.

 

NEIL Lennon and John Kennedy addressed the media for the first time since taking charge of Celtic today, and the new Hoops boss stressed how important both his assistant and new first-team coach Damien Duff will be during his transition period.

The manager aims to embed himself as quickly as possible at Paradise, and described the top job as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he’s been fortunate enough to have been considered for twice.

“It was a no-brainer,” said Neil Lennon of taking on the job for a second time. “I’m very grateful to be here, to the board, to Peter Lawwell, to Mr Desmond to all put faith in me to see out the season. It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours, and the most important thing is the club. I’ve got big shoes to fill, obviously, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.

“I’ll be leaning on John a lot. He knows the machinations of the current squad, and I’ll be relying on John and Damien, very much so. They’re going to be essential to the transition.”

Neil Lennon said he faces a new challenge in different circumstances from when he took over from Tony Mowbray in 2010, and that he knows how quickly he must adapt as the Hoops chase a third consecutive domestic treble.

Echoing his own words yesterday (Tuesday), and those of assistant John Kennedy, the manager said his appointment isn’t about individuals, but is solely about the club itself. As for his approach on the pitch, Neil Lennon is keen to implement attacking-minded football, consistent with both his and Celtic’s signature style.

“This is a club that means a * of a lot to me – as a player and as a manager,” Neil Lennon added. “It’s a privilege. These opportunities come around once in a lifetime, and for me it’s come up twice. I’ve mellowed as a manager a bit since I last took over, but I’ve still got the energy and the will to win.

“I have my own way, I’m always learning and that will go on. It’ll be good to watch great players train every day. I know the culture of the club, and I hope it won’t take too long to get back into the mix of things. I’ll keep the current style, and I don’t think it’s too different to what I do. Attacking football is the DNA of the club.”

 

Credit to the board they’ve handled the replacement extremely well. In and out. Lennon knows the score and is perfect to take us to the end of the season - depending on his results I might have him back but I’m hopeful for Stevie Clark, he’s different gravy.

 

I watched the 7 nil at Tynecastle on Monday. Was thinking how I'd hope he would take over again one day. Never thought it would be the next day!

 

Anyone else think Lenny doesn't want be one who fails that club getting 10 in a row.

 

He'll be desperate for the opportunity for it , Still football to be played , but 8 should be in the bag that would leave 2 more to go.
