Neil Lennon

There will be a good few managers who will fancy this job in the Summer if we go on to lose the title. Reputable club, big fan base, big budget (relative to rivals), talented squad, big chance of trophies and hard not to improve in Europe. The problem will be getting the CVs in front of Lawwell and not flung in a filing cabinet.

 

Aye they should add in the DPD delivery notes: "deliver to showers" that's the true secret to getting the job.

 

Lose the photo of lawwell & Desmond, next to the hot tub with the hoover ( cordless Dyson) brush extension & the 2 plucked & shaved chickens.

 

rangers have been dead and buried for 8 years now ,sevco capitulated last season im surprised a real tim doesnt make this distinction .* lawell and co if they hand an 8 year old club their first ever title they have already * up by handing them a chance at their first ever major trophy

 

Personally, I'll just be devastated that we've blown 10IAR when there was absolutely no need for it. If it makes you feel better than we've lost it to Sevco rather than Rangers* - good for you.

 

its always good to be factually correct

 

If the board stays the same, no manager with a desire to be independent in his job will ever come. The board burned themselves on Rodgers.

 

I'm not sure that is entirely fair on some of the players though. Yeah some seem like they could maybe try harder to play themselves out of the club like you mention, but for many that might not be the immediate goal.

Seems like some are beyond the point of being able to trust Lennon now, and probably expected a managerial change already which might rescue the season. But with the inexplicable backing by the board, the players must be confused as to where things will end up.

 

Money talks. Pay enough, you can get most.

 

What's the point...?

Having a good manager with his hands tied behind his back.

 

A good manager turned these players into undefeated treble treble winners. Half the good managers have zero clue about who to sign. Rodgers wanted to spend £10m on that big donkey from aberdeen.

 

aye and he ended up with jack hendry

 

I get your point but I'm not so sure that was Rodgers target.

 

The issue is that most managers worth anything don't want to have their hands tied behind their backs. And they can't just avoid talking to the board, and focus only on the team.

Not to mention that this board won't spend big money on a manager again. A new board made of Celtic fans instead of businessmen, might.

 

Not to enjoy playing Devil’s advocate, but even though as admiral it may seem, I genuinely don’t think it would be a good idea having “fans” running the business side of the club...

 

I agree - for the first 2 seasons under Rodgers, PL stayed out of it and we saw the results. In the end, he couldn't resist it - ****ed up the transfer of McGinn (who would have been great for us for 2/3 seasons and then we would turn a massive profit on). After that, the relationship between Rodgers + PL was toxic and it was only a matter of time before he left.

We could clearly pay for a very good manager but no manager worth a * will have a backroom staff foisted on him. Also, as soon as PL starts interfering, they'll be off.

I don't trust DD to control Lawwell - as long as PL occupies that position, our chances of getting and retaining a top manager aren't great.

 

League trophy’s don’t get handed out in December I am surprised an old Bhoy doesn’t know this. I am starting to think this forum is full of hun scum.

 

Looks like somethin oota The Planet of the Apes
