    He should get back in a tv studio. He’s a good pundit.

    I get the urge to be involved in football every day, but he is a wealthy man and should step back from all the hassle.

    Why further tarnish his diminishing football reputation? He’s been at the top with us and he’s not getting a gig anywhere that will allow him to savour those highs again. Only lows await. He’d maybe get a Hibs type job again, but for what? Two or three seasons?

    Time to chill Lenny and enjoy watching Sevco struggle and Celtic prosper!

    Neil Lennon has officially been sacked by Rapid Bucharest.

    The former Celtic boss was on the brink after a porr start that yielded a return of just no wins in six matches.

    And the Romanian outfit have moved quickly to source a replacement, confirming Marius Sumudica as their new head coach.

    Today, Neil Lennon and FC Rapid decided to go their separate ways.

    We thank Neil and his staff for their commitment and professionalism, and we wish them continued success

    No chance he was gonna resign. We seen that the last time he was here. No matter how poor results get or how unprofessional he behaves hes never gonna give up that pay off.

    No saying he's a muppet sometimes


    But some of the stuff I feel is exaggerated a wee bit

    Lying about a pool drinking while we were in lockdown and 10 points behind the huns wasn't exaggerated though.

    Also I can't help but feel the stories of him being half cut and * on the training ground last month were probably true aswell.

    He's so far out of touch with modern football and the levels of professionalism required. This really should be his last gig although youd never put anything past lawwell and Desmond when it comes to their favourite puppet.

    250 grand pay off apparently. I'd take that.

    Never said that


    But to assume he's just spending his days in pubs is ridiculous

    Been numerous incidents over his career where he's been in situations that most in his position wouldn't be caught in.

    It's unprofessional and generally always involves drink

    Some probably have aye but the one Iv highlighted of him during covid season and the video of him in the Newcastle hotel in full celtic gear are difficult to argue against no?

    * on the pitch story may be bollocks, who knows but was plenty of folk claiming it to be true also.

    He's a polarising figure and folk like yourself are fully entitled to defend him. Loved him during his time as a player but his managerial time here over both spells soured that but not as much as his attitude towards the fans after his dismissal did or his constant sucking up to this 2 * Lawwell and Desmond

    The more you want something to be true it becomes true in yer mind



    And in today's world * will believe anything if it's said multiple times

    I think he has a problem with the professionalism needed in the modern game.

    I’ve always felt he could do a job scouting. You could also see him coming into teams on a temporary basis to steady the ship when things go * up mid-season.

    He seems to get gigs for the BBC when he's in between work. Feel like his best move would be to give up management and get a pundit job.
