Neil Lennon

Looks like he’s definitely going, not liking the Jack Ross rumour though. He’s not going to give the team or supporters a lift, need an exciting name if we want to win 10.

 

If taken literally. O’Neill is in charge as we speak and will be relieved of his duties by kick off on Thursday (the beginning of rest of the season) by which point Lenny will have returned to take charge of Celtic for the 3rd time! Bring her home Neil! Save our season!

 

How does it look like that?

 

The arrogance of the board not even having any close to being in place to replace Lennon. Like they almost think, were to big and rich in Scotland that we could possibly fail or go on a * of a run.

Looking through things. Despite our size and resources, we are incredibly poor off the field. The most professional we were was under Rodgers and look how that ended. A falling out wi PL and BR and BR essentially jumping ship first opportunity.

Then PL hires a dinosaur in the modern game, in the showers, arrogantly ignoring all other interest from credible managers.

You reap what you sow. We employed a limited coach with very little knowledge and experience in the modern game. But a hero amongst the fans for his previous service. Someone who won't rock the boat at a board level either and tow the line. The professionalism setup by BR, slowly dismantled, replaced with cheap staff, hand picked to keep PL happy. Lennon employed after 2 sackings at lower end clubs than us. Charged with getting us going in Europe and bring the 10. Played decent football at the start of the year, up to the pandemic starting and a decent Euro campaign, which we shat the bed in...again. Tactics, coaching, fitness have fallen away steadily up to this season.

And now we are, where we are, after regression and falling asleep at the wheel. Lennon almost despised by the very fans who once idolised him, the board clueless as to what to do next but treat the fans with utter contempt, fans with no outlet to vent due to Covid protest. Because of the arrogance mentioned at the start of the post.

Lennys head must be up his * the now. Desperately out of depth in a his dream job, surrounded by staff he didn't want, players the t don't want him, in his last pay day as a top manager. But still bumbles on mentioning lounges and face washing.

This indecision by the board and certain extent Lennon, is self harming on a massive scale. All due to ego and bravado against protesting fans. Just waiting for the next hiding around the corner.

Absolutely gutted that we have fallen so far and its only November.

I hope someone ASAP, can grab the situation by the balls, be proactive, brave and seize the opportunity to get this show back on the road and defend our title with honour and passion.

I hope it's tomorrow.

 

Just got this from a pal... The board had a failed motion to sack Lenny on Friday morning. They required a unanimous vote but Lawwell voted against Directors weren't happy, but had to pass him a "vote of confidence" as they couldn't terminate him. Desmond and Bankier reconvened a board meeting via video link at 8pm Sunday night after discussions with Lawwell. They have insisted that Lawwell abstain, because he is stepping down at the AGM and shouldn't be blocking any motions single handedly. Jack Ross agent has provisionally agreed terms, but the deal hinges on a settlement with Hibs. They were approached last week BEFORE the Sparta game, but were clearly expecting the vote to pass on Friday. Lenny has a video conference call with the board at 9:15am, where he will be asked to resign. If he refuses, he will be placed on leave. Kennedy will take the team to Milan. Don't like the sound of that

 

That has a scary amount of detail to it.

 

Late to the party this was posted this morning and has turned out to be wrong as he was at lennoxtown with the team

I don't like the sound of that either! Is this pal a trusted source or a wind up merchant?

 

You know what those guys on fan fiction are like mate.....

 

That’s the one solid bit I’ve heard, either he walks or gets put on leave until they sort compensation.

 

Aye, come up with lots of details and it really helps sell a lie or story.

 

Jack Ross ffs hope this isn’t true

Yea lol. Mind you, could this be a Jack Ross, John Kennedy swap deal?

 

I would rather stick with NL than go with Jack Ross tbh. He doesn't have what we need to progress.

We need to bring in someone that's going to inspire the whole club and fan base. Although Ross seems a decent enough guy he's not the answer.

 

Powers had o neil fav this evening Ross now fav.....

 

Take no notice of the bookies

 

If Jack Ross is appointed as our manager then I give up.

 

If Ross gets the job its a step backwards.Its another cheap option with huge risks involved.

Aside from being cheap i cant see why we would go for him (am i missing something?)

 

Nope nope nope! We are not sticking with that man for another * game! There are absolutely better options than Jack Ross, but Neil Lennon is absolutely categorically not one of them!
