    Is trying one of his traits though is it really ... if you look at the big picture if he was really trying he would implement these things I think he comes across as lazy in his management now ... as a player though could add those things

    He did a great job for us and that should never be overlooked. However, he was 29 and had been with Leicester for 4 years when he joined us - I don't remember us fighting off any other teams to sign him. I don't think its likely that any of the giants of the EPL were going to buy him - if any of them were interested, they would have done it earlier and could easily have outbid us in terms of transfer fee and wages.

    Still no news whatsoever. I am an idiot for thinking every night something positive might happen tomorrow. Whether its Lawwell or Lennon I hope one of them goes soon.

    BTW does Lawwell need to be voted out in an AGM or EGM?

    If he’s going it has to be today or tmrw
    There is no way, or certainly no reason why they would bring him back for a game then let him go. It simply does not make sense
    There is no better time to part ways then now

    imagine if he came back and we won well on wed.

    I'm not disputing he took a paycut (although a paper reporting it without evidence doesn't make it a reliable source). I'm saying that 'taking a paycut to come here' and 'making financial sacrifices to come here' are not necessarily the same thing.

    As a basic example, he could've went from £35k p/w to £30k p/w but reliably estimated he would be here for 5+ years on that salary, therefore technically taking a paycut but making far more money.

    It's fairly clear to many supporters now that Lennon cares little for the club or the fans and is only interested in himself, as EVERY real Celtic fan would've walked a long time ago to save the 10 for the rest of us.

    Paper talk about him supposedly making a 'financial sacrifice' to come here sounds like the typical 'Celtic man' bullshit we've been fed over the years. I think it's time we stop regurgitating that * to defend the character of a man who can do nothing but patronise a support putting thousands up to back him.

    It does make sense. It would look like they were sacking him for results that happened while he was isolating, and not directly in charge. They can't do that as they are just as much to blame for the Dubai trip as he was, so they need to wait until they can say it wasn't Dubai related to cover themselves.

    Is there even a rumour he is leaving..?? I see a few of you saying your hitting the refresh button ha.. is this just in hope or has there been anything floating about Glasgow rumour wise?

    Absolute madness If he's not gone before the end of the season.. worst season I can remember as a Celtic fan..

    Havent listened to him in a while, but his press conference today should be interesting enough. Is he gonna be apologetic for Dubai, is he gonna concede the title, what's he gonna blame for the past 2 games, any response to his pal Hartson saying he should go. His demeanour will hopefully provide insight to when his departure is.

    Even announcing he's here till then end of the season would clear a lot of things up.

    He has done more damage to the club than any manager in my lifetime. He is a parasite.

    He will blame everyone and everything else, as usual.

    He’ll step down he will do as he’s told because he knows desmond is the one with the power if he steps away in good terms he will get a job elsewhere no doubt he has a severance package or will be put into another one of his companies

    As for anyone talking * in the midfield it was either lambert petrov or moravcik Lennon or Lennon petrov or lambert moravcik ... need to be a special head case to play lambert and Lennon together attacking mid would be non existent
