Neil Lennon

Faithful through and through is sung by the Celtic support when Celtic lose IN GOOD FAITH.

We, as a support, have never had a problem losing football matches when we've tried our best. We're football people ffs. We know about losing.

We * celebrated a 0-4 defeat at Tynecastle. Tommy Burns is revered for losing IN GOOD FAITH.

 

They have all the ST money, the ceitic tv money and the cash from kit sales.... so do t give a * as fans can’t starve them of much until renewal time.... so (whoever is manager) come March/April .. they will spout assorted Pish about incentives. , ST bonus matches, Millions on players blah blah.... and thousands of mugs will buy into it anyway.

This is them in the spfl! Europe’s most fan dependent and match day cash dependent league....

can you imagine the contempt they’d have for fans if they were in the epl snd ticket revenue was mere petty cash?

 

A terrifying concept.

It just sickens me how many fans fall for the divide and conquer trick. Those statements reek of it.

Some 'fans' will have read those statements and resolved to spend MORE money just to * over the rest of the fans. That's the * attitude these days.

 

There's a clear material change from the summer of 2014 to the summer of 2019 when he took over permanently.

He had seen the best of his signings being sold in his first spell with little of it to reinvest in a replacement.

In the summer of 2014 after Deila took over we spent £2.3m in total on Scepovic. There's every chance Lennon was advised this would be the case and decided it wouldn't be possible to continue getting similar results while operating on a budget slashed after the liquidation of Rangers.

In 2019 he was taking over a Treble Treble winning squad bursting with talent and with the promise of funds - £7m spent on Julien for example.

The prospects of taking the 2 squads forward in those moments were vastly different.

Agree with the first part, he probably knows in his heart of hearts there will be no other football job paying him anywhere near what he's on. He's also not going to go into media after us, after more than a decade of being painted as the abrasive *.

Disagree with the 2nd part, it's clear from our drop in form from last season to this - both collectively and individually - that there has been some rumblings behind the scenes, rumblings that he hasn't been able to resolve and get us playing again. That doesn't mean he should have to forfeit his salary. It means that the board made the wrong call in the stands of Hampden in May 2019.

I also don't subscribe to the view that he doesn't care about the club because he's not willing to pass up circa £500k and head into managerial oblivion with no obvious prospects for future jobs.

The club is protected by his 12 month rolling element, we should be doing the right thing and paying him up.

 

Anyone still think Neil Lennon is a Celtic legend and a real Celtic man?

He's now on par with Mo Johnson and Brendan Rodgers for me... A * Snake..

 

Steady on mate. Rodgers and Lennon in the same sentence as that scum? Come on now...

 

One other point I would add to this.

The Celtic board and some of the virtue signalling twitter supporters are enjoying the suggestion we will not attract a manager of any calibre because of the 'disgusting scenes' at Celtic Park on Sunday night.

I'm willing to bet any manager coming in would be far more put off by the Board trying to force a manager to resign rather than pay him what he's owed, especially considering it's a relatively low sum.

 

I'm with you on most things but I think this is anger talking mate. I don't like Lennon but he's owed what he's owed. We've got more than enough money to honour a contract.

 

The protest that no doubt will be coming this Sunday could get very * violent

 

I have never heard pundits voice such different views from supporters on a manager's credibility. It is quite extraordinary.

 

I can understand Rodgers, but Johnston?

 

This rat * however can happily never set foot in Celtic Park again clinging on for as many pay checks as you can..

 

Also would be happy to see all these shamrock emoji *, KTF warriors and remember the 90’s mob get to * aswell they’re just as complicit they let * lit Lawwell and Desmond get away with this

 

Great point.

...or pick his assistant manager or refuse him the appropriate backroom staff that a club of our size should operate on.

 

Rodgers left us in good shape.. What state Lennon going to leave us in? I'm not that annoyed with Rodgers anymore when you see the state of the * he had to work under..

 

Yeah maybe I've been suppressing my anger the last few days.. haha.. Celtic owe Lennon nothing in terms of money, Celtic have made him a very rich man. He owes us fans that stood by him when he needed it.

 

Get Tommy Wright in... not as the manager, just to give the players a bollocking

 

Johnston made a fool of us for money Lennon is doing the same thing...

 

Some of the * on this thread is embarrassing. We all want him to leave but * *.

 

Whats embarrassing mate is Neil "wash my face" Lennon..
