    Because his pals in the media (hartson and sutton) are actually peddling this * from the club statement that last night was actually violent and disgraceful.

    It was no different than has happened in the past and would be expected if the stadium was open.

    "Get Tae *" if not abuse nor low, if Lennon and the players can't cope with that then * me they aren't cut out for being at a top club.
    The rattling of a wire fence is hardly violent scenes.
    Absolute joke exaggeration of what happened.

    Desperate now to turn this on to the fans again.
    Spoiled, ungrateful, violent, we are the bad ones apparently...

    if this was not in times of a pandemic, there would have been Thousands outside after the game, or maybe even still inside protesting.
    I dont condone violence or destroying property, but those who run the club must act today. Neil must go, voluntarily or not.

    He'll be due a sizeable pay off. Can't help but think that's playing a part here.

    £500k allegedly.

    I firmly believe the board had declined on sacking him in the hope he'd tender his resignation and they'd avoid paying that fee.

    Some people will demand that Lennon should have offered to have resigned but realistically this is his last big job in Football Management probably and there's not likely to be a job with the media waiting in the wings for him.

    It's a lot of money to forego, realistically no-one comes out of this looking good; it would have been far better to have had a sensible conversation back after the Huns game and come to some sort of mutual settlement. But that's not how we do things.

    Just like when the rat was picking weakened teams to bite back at Lawwell for refusing to pull the trigger on his transfer targets, we the fans are caught in the middle of a ego tug of war. Watching our club being pulled apart.

    Diego laxalt is the Canary in the coal mine of what's going on behind the scenes. The most recent addition came in a looked good player, who now appears devoid of what he's meant to be doing and has essentially been played into bad form. I genuinely feel sorry for Lennon and it appears for a while they players have essentially downed tools but the situation is unrepairable under Lennon.

    Because being 11 points behind our biggest rivals in the league wasn't already a "tangible domestic failure"? They are so full of *.

    I'd imagine that meeting today will be about some form of negotiation.. no doubt Lennon will be low balled, eventually and agreement will be made and then with money effected due to covid and the bOardk being the board we will bring in someone very underwhelming

    Pay him the money.

    Not only because it gets rid of him, but it was them that hired an incompetent manager and put the guy in this position.

    The biggest pain of all of this is me starting to not like Lenny. A man I was excited about as a teenager when he signed for us 20 years ago.

    I think this is spot on. A few comments he made in the later interview he did yesterday were telling. They suggest he wont walk and is leaving it to the board to remove him. I.e pay me up.

    Just do what it takes for him out the door. He is a selfish * who left off his own back first time around. He wont leave. Just sack him and pay out his contract. Get him so far to *

    Which is his right I think.

    The club is already protected in the fact his contract is only a 12 month rolling one.

    Of course if there's any way to squirm out of paying a bill, our commander in chief will try it. No matter the detriment to the club or people's reputation in the process.

    I firmly believe that if we sat down with him after the Huns game and said "we'll pay up 80% of your contact but we need to go in a different direction", he would have accepted and a lot would have been spared. The damage to our League, European and Cup ambitions this season, Lennon's reputation among the fans and even Lawwell's reputation.

    Instead we've put them all on the line to save a little dough, embarrassing.
