[Capriano]

Celtic's Neil Lennon is on Leicester City's shortlist for the managerial vacancy at the Championship club he served as a player for four years.

from the bbc website

[TheJoker1888]

i have done the same thing, could not get a season ticket cause of money, then i said i was not going back a month and half ago because of our side is so shite

enough is enough more poeple need to hurt the board where it hurts the pocket

celtic fans pay good money for their club yet we have to accept this pish poor team no fucking chance

[burky67]

What a load o bollocks time has run out Mr Lennon bring in Roy Keane sort these shitbags out and turn us into a team take that moaning couldnt tackle a fish supper kayal with you to:nightmare:

hail hail Capriano
They must be desperate, but surely not that desperate! he is in over his head, and doesn't have a clue! He doens't even have the decency to admit he is crap and is doing a disservice to our club. Leave now for the sake of the club!

[tonybhoy]

i know your hurting bhoys but everyone is pointing fingers at lennon(rightly so)but the bigger picture is lawell

[Marty Larsson]

Fans saying give him a chance blah blah ive been saying for weeks and weeks to get rid of him he just hasnt got what it takes to big a job to try and work wonders! Let an old head come in and show the Celtic faithful a thing or 2 about tatics!!

[Capriano]

well said mate!

[Capriano]

i wish people would stop blaiming lawwell. lawwell doesnt pick the team. lennon has had the final say on these players, he chooses the starting 11, he chooses the tactics. his head must roll tonight.

[chaskynyrd]

i know your hurting bhoys but everyone is pointing fingers at lennon(rightly so)but the bigger picture is lawell

WE SHOULD STILL BE GOOD ENUFF TO BEAT HIBS......nuff said.hurting and piussed off.

[tonybhoy]

lawell denies the finances mate and has signed half the team ffs

[Marty Larsson]

Theirs alot to blame here boardroom trying to save a quick buck by appointing lenny, the players have just bombed for some reason and the decent money has dried up so we end up with average players..As ive said before on this forum lenny was never the man for the job and never will be just alone his tatics frighting me and his bullish behaviour on the sidelines the guy as to leave himself...we NEED an EXPIRIENCED manager bigtime!!

[tonybhoy]

an experienced manager will talk to liewell and walk away,we will be seeking out somebody on the broo

[Capriano]

lawell denies the finances mate and has signed half the team ffs

would you trust lennon with your money?

the fact is, us the fans got lennon the job, we chanted his name for 90mins of every match, the board acted on it, and it has failed, so the same ppl who got him the job now have to get him removed.

[TheJoker1888]

What a load o bollocks time has run out Mr Lennon bring in Roy Keane sort these shitbags out and turn us into a team take that moaning couldnt tackle a fish supper kayal with you to:nightmare:

part in bold, roy keane is a shite manager why change it with some more shite

[chaskynyrd]

absolutely spot on mate...we gave them the easy option....

[scottkilt7]

The fans have lost faith in the manager, The crowd size showed that today.

We all know it's time for change.

[tonybhoy]

so if we chant for ferguson we will get him????the board couldnt give a flying fuck about us,they saw a cheap guy to do the job,money is the reason WGS walked,liewell has to go too,fuck the balance sheet

[TheJoker1888]

thing is the board is to blame with this, they should have never had paid 2.5 million for TM and then more after sacking him, they should have given WGS money in his last window he was here to sign a foward and we could be looking at 7 in a row

the board should have not appointed lennon a rookie manager on the cheap

this season is down to lennon, and us not winning the league last season but over all it's all down to the board cause rangers are on the brink of 4 in a row and thats mismangement on the football pitch in my book

[tonybhoy]

and liewell still gets his bonus

[Capriano]

9 wins in 19 games so far for lennon. abysmal

[martim]

if he is allowed to stay then i wont be returning to celtic park when i return from holiday.

we need to make our voices heard.i thought you said yer last night on holiday wis the 24 its now an extended wan

[Capriano]

i thought you said yer last night on holiday wis the 24 its now an extended wan

got back from australia, now im in london visiting relatives.

[big eck]

think about this, this is the same team that humped the huns last season, only to bottle it at ict, so what has happened this season, i will tell you, lennon with his cofrontational attitude, if commons is fit and he is not playing him, HE IS NOT A CELTIC SUPPORTER, he is an arrogant short sighted buffoon who would put his own agenda in front of the team, to me he does not have most of the team with him, just look at the way they played today no direction, no leadership, they looked slow and sluggish, again he was looking for wee forrest to pull him out a hole and as i said a couple of days ago he cant do it all the time, if commons was fit he would have given us something down the left hand side because we had f**k all down there all day, so well done neil, have you proved your point, do the players now realize who is the boss or as i think they dont give a flying fuck for you.

[RedditchBhoy]

i wish people would stop blaiming lawwell. lawwell doesnt pick the team. lennon has had the final say on these players, he chooses the starting 11, he chooses the tactics. his head must roll tonight.

Spot on, it's up to the manager to motivate ( which is just as important as tactics) and obviously Lenny and his team do not inspire . We would be better off with Danny Lennon.

[superbob52]

Let him go to Leicester City, he is not doing it at celtic and please take your backroom staff with you.

[TheJoker1888]

Spot on, it's up to the manager to motivate ( which is just as important as tactics) and obviously Lenny and his team do not inspire . We would be better off with Danny Lennon.

over all the board is to blame for this mess, they have fucked it up since the last transfer window WGS was here, like i said before if they showed some abition then we would be looking at 7 in a row and fuck knows where rangers would be if we never gave them all that money for winning the league and champions league money

[father ted]

i think there is a bit of a knee jerk reaction going on here to be sure were having going through a bad patch but what club doesn't? Remember at the end of a storm there is golden sky!! Mon Lennon!! Mon the Hoops!! Mon the true fans!!!!!

That's all ifs and buts mate, it is where we are now and imo he is not getting the best out of what we have got.

Knee jerk fucking hell. You could maybe argue that from Jan to to end of last season he did quite well but apart from that he has been a fucking disaster. It's anything but kneejerk. Lennon gtf

[father ted]

no eck but my glass is half full

[big eck]

mines half empty, but i am just about to rectify that, after today it will be getting re-filled often tonight

rangers doing 3 in a row, liewell been saying about big signs for the last 4 season yet none have came through, looking at 4 in a row and the team is not playing for the manager oh and we are 3rd in the leauge and this is our worst start in god knows how many years

nah fuck lennon and get a new guy in

[Capriano]

father ted you talk out your arse mate!

[RedditchBhoy]

father ted, i 'll have a pint of what you've been drinking

[fd1972uk]

It's not half full, it's fecking over-flowing, get a grip of yourself ffs.

Lennon is a cunt of a manager I said it as soon as he got the job, and I have been 100% correct and always will be, he'll be nothing as a manager. As for Roy Keane, ffs, another useless cunt of a manager.

Obviously Lawell has had his tuppence worth in some things, and that's probably why Lennon is still in a job, as he'll be too scared to sack him because Lennon will come out and probably say he done this and than, but don't cloud the issue, he is a useless bastard as a manager.

He has no clue of tactics, his subs are bewildering and his pets are costing him his job and I'm fucking delighted.

As I heard someone say today on the radio and something I echoed a couple of weeks back, the Killie fightback was the worst thing to happen for us.

Regardless of what happens to Rangers, they are guaranteed the league, and if they get their ship in order they can win as many leagues as they wish.

I'll disagree slightly, I thought he was actually a good player for us, a really good player, done his job brilliantly.

But the rest yes, and I do honestly 'hate' him now as our manager.


FD

[Sandbag]

Was wrong choice as manager. Had no experience whatsoever but DD and PL give him the job...crazy! I feel sorry for Lenny and his management staff to be honest. They will be hurting as much if not more than any of us on here but something very bad is wrong in the dressing room. If the players admired Lenny and staff and thought they were good enough they would be fighting for him but they are just not. A clear out of both management and players will be required in the next few months. I see Rangers winning by at least 25 points this season and no doubt will get let off by HMRC with a slapped wrist. we delude ourselves if we think the establishment club will be hit by a massive fine.

[hollowgreen]

Heard there is an emergency board meeting tomorrow and Lennon will be gone by Monday.

Lennon was the cheap option and it has came back to bite US on the arse. If I was the man who made the decision
to give the job to a apprentice and it turned out to be the catastrophe that it is I would resign.

Fifty four years watching Celtic never having lived less than 300 miles from Parkhead sorry Neil if you are there in the new year I wont be

I want Lennon to STAY......To Stay the fuck AWAY from Parkhead!!!!!!

At the end of the day money talks and we dont want to talk the talk so we reap what we sow :(

[tamthetim]

Father Ted posts on the DR trust me he's just having some fun, good for him.

As for Lennon I have already stated that the man is incapable of knowing he's wrong.

[beavisandbutthead1967]

it was a gamble to get lenny in, and at the time i backed it which was probably my heart ruling my head. the gamble has failed and with hindsight its not that surprising. i still love lenny, but he has to go soon, and let a new guy come in and try and do something with those players. my choice would be mick mccarthy. if the celtic board get the next appointmet wrong we will be looking at another couple of years of misery at least. they had better get it right.

[LoyalTim]

Sorry Folks, I am on the other side of the coin in this debate. Neil Lennon is Celtic through and through and I will argue tooth and nail in his defence. Last year when he was getting dogs abuse evry Celtic fan throughout the world was his number 1 fan, however when he's going through a rough patch in footballing terms the same people are throing all types of verbals at him. You people are no better than the scum that hounded him last year. We lost the league last year by 1 single point................this year the problems started in July\August, I ccan't prove my next point but it seems that the board failed to back Lennon in the transfer market regarding the acquisition of certain players and this failure has become more evident as the season progresses.

Neil can prepare the team for their weekend fixture but when the players cross the white line they have to standup and take responsibility and I certainly feel that it's the players and not Lennon letting our great club down. If we didn't have so many injuries he would be in a position to drop players to give them a kick-up the ass but unfortunately we are limited due to the injuries.

Lennon is a winner, he proved it in his playing days and he will prove it this year when we lift the league trophy in May.............mark my words.

On Rangers, McCoist has the grace of working under Smith for a couple of years and the core of his squad have been together for 5 years, Lennon hasn't had the luxury of getting a core to his side yet. Rangers are a settled side and it shows but if they have 2 or 3 injuries to their squad and results go against them then McCoist could be under the same pressure.

There's no prizes given out in November

[tonybhoy]

not bad on your first post calling us scum,oh and one more defeat and lennon wont be there in december never mind may

[TheJoker1888]

That's all ifs and buts mate, it is where we are now and imo he is not getting the best out of what we have got.

but is it not the boards fault? not backing WGS then getting in TM and then putting lennon in charge? if you can't see this then i really worry for you

[LoyalTim]

I hate knee jerk reactions - point : Alex Ferguson nearly got relegated in his 1st season with United, fans turned on him and the club stuck by him and look what he has achieved. He wasn't a world class manager when he took over at United. A manager sometimes has to go through the hard times to really appreciate the good time and this is what is happening at our club at present. Lets give Lennon the backing and help him through and just maybe things may turnaround.

Note : I am note putting Neil Lennon on the same table as Ferguson just drawing a comparison.

is this you neil? also no man is bigger than the club, yes he went through a tough time last season does this mean he gets a pass? he has had a worst start than TM did, we are 3rd in the league he has lost the dressing room every week it's another players fault he has had 3 transfer windows to sort out or center half problems yet nothing is done his tactics are really bad and making subs well that even worse

every must win game he has lost since ross county, you say the board never backed lennon we needed a center half more than anything and we never got one apart from wilson who had already signed, he spent 2.5 million on bangura who has failed to make an impact when he had a target man in big rass but put him out on loan and kept sammy

he has not learnt from his mistakesand the only reason he still has a job is cause of fans like yourself who think cause he had a rough time he should be given more time, no sorry his time is up and am not wanting to watch us lose another league title to a novice manager this time

[beavisandbutthead1967]

loyaltim, yer talking utter mince. we are 12 points behind the huns, lie in third place behing motherwell and we arent even in november yet. any one with half a brain can see that neil lennon hasnt got what it takes. hes been in the job for 20 months, whilst mccoist is not long in the door and they are already crusing it.the board could have backed him a bit more, but there is a squad of players there on big money who should be blowing away the likes of hibs, hearts and all the other dross yet they arent. his absolute failure to get in tywo decent central defenders is a joke.the buck stops at the manager and his coaches. they arent up to the job, and if they are left in charge much longer we will be even further behind rangers by christmas. i love the man, but he will probably already know himself that his time is nearly up.

[TheJoker1888]

your point on fergie shows you are really narrow minded, 1, man utd where not a top side at the time far from it, if he never won that FA cup he would have been out of job since utd had not won anything for some time, also that was over 20 years ago when managers got time and the english league was not a 2 horse race like it is in the SPL when finishing 2nd is not good enough

so your point is invalid

p.s look at what he done as a manager with aberdeen...... he knew how to manage lennon on the other hand......

[LoyalTim]

The Joker, you make some valid oints. I too couldn't understand why big Rass and Juarez was loaned out. Juarez should av been first choice RB and big Rass could have partnered Hooper. But, if I am to believe the papers apparently Bangura was recommended by our legend Larsson. I am as disappointed as the next Cletic fan at the plight of our club but we can't leave the blame fully at the foot of Lennon. All these rumours about dressing room unrest has to be put in context and treated as rumours.

I think Lennon is an honest individual who tells it as it is and I just feel it's a problem in todays game were players are in it for the money and it's no longer about the pride in the shirt like days gone by and this is the stem of the current problem.

[tamthetim]

FATHER TED and LOYALTIM,want Lennon to stay for good reasons.

thing is mate i just don't blame lennon the board is at fault even since WGS and not backing him, and then getting mowbray in and then lennon, but lennon has lost the dressing room and he is attacking his own players now, he is not learning from his mistakes and needs to go

if this was any other manager he would have been out weeks ago, it's just cause it's neil lennon

it's time to cut our ties with the man thank him for the time he has been in change (not this season) and move on

also about bangura larsson did say he was a good player but the ting is he was not a target man and larsson never said he was he is more like stokes a player with a bit of pace but unlike stokes his first touch is shocking

he has had enoug time in my eyes and we need to make sure we don't end up 3rd this season cause the way it's going it will happen in my eyes, if lennon is still in charge in jan players like hooper, kayal, izzy and commons will leave because of him

[ReadyCelted]

LoyalTim ah hear what yer saying. But no. The only way Lenny can at CP is, imo,to We win all our games from now to midnight of the 28 December. Was previously giving 2 games to allow for a falter in that timescale. Now I feel for that to still stand rankers would have to drop points as well as Us taking 3 points from them on the 28th.
Dont wish injures on any player per say but was happy when naismith went off today. For thats how I have sunk, to hope that the breaking up of their first picks may lead to them dropping points.

[TicTacToe]

I think last year the unity that the club felt during the period around the refs strike, threats to the manager and other little things meant that players were pretty much not in need of a team talk, events pretty much took care of that. This year Rangers have employed a rookie boss, albeit one who served as an apprentice to an extremely attritional tactictioner. They have cut costs everywhere, they have spent frugally and they now stand top with a decent cushion. It is the proverbial "get off the pot or piss" time for Neil. This is a test of his ability to mobilise an army. Thus far he has failed. I always felt it was a risk. I always felt the board were relying on the "Neil Lennon" effect to be enough. I remember Rangers did the same thing with Greig.

The man was a great servant as a player and if you cut him in half the crest of the club would be woven into his fibre, but he faces personal destruction as a person of reverence within the club unless he understands that he has reached the point of no return. If Celtic are to have a chance of turning this around and of taking full advantage of the debacle at Ibrox, then they need fresh faces and fresh ideas and they need it soon.

[LoyalTim]

Fair point, but we must be realistic here Celtic will not finish 3rd and evry celtic fann knows it. We are feeling frustrated and demoralised but lets look at it in the context of the league. We trounched Motherwell early doors in the league and they are more erattic than we are at present but they are not good enough to finish 2nd.

Your on about Commons, if I am not mistaken he has had great 1st seasons at all his previous clubs and the following seasons he has been ranked and it seems he following the same pattern at CP. Nigel Clough stated after Commons departure from Derby that if there was 1 plyer in the Derby squad who frustrated him the most it was commons. He stated the player totally changed from his 1st season and he was a very frustrating player to manage as he had bags of potential but lost the appetite to easily.

[LoyalTim]

TicTacToe - who would you bring in as manager? Don't forget the Celtic brand is huge but Scottish football has massively declined and Celtic will not spend the money on big name signings. We can'y compete with the championship in England so I never mind the EPL.

[beavisandbutthead1967]

loyaltim, you speak as if finishing 2nd ahead of motherwell is a good thing. if this is what you are getting at, i dont think you understand celtic. celtic finishing second behind the huns in a two horse league is finishing last, and finsihing last against a very, average hun mob in a two horse league is totally unacceptable.

[LoyalTim]

You've taken my comment out of context. I am saying Celtic as we stand will finish above Motherwell, it's not acceptable that we finish 2nd to our rivals but I am hoping we can get through this storm and come out fighting and start putting in a challenge.

I'm not a fan, so my thinking is not too relevant. But others have covered this topic very eloquently. Comparing the SPL to the Championship is silly, winning the Championship is worth more than winning the CL. Imagine that? So obviously Scotland will not compete.

[ReadyCelted]

Thing is ye might not know what you will get from a player week to week. However when that problem transcends to a full team yer fecked. Thats where We are and Lenny just dosent know what to do cos he built the team. He got the players its his fault. His only get out might be for him to say "I bought the best I could with the money given by the board". He aint gonnie come out and say thet, he cant, that would make look.......well you know.

[CFCbhoy]

If Neil Lennon proffesses to love the club so much then he has to see that he has failed and will continue to fail so he must walk away because i honestly dont think the board give a damn! They are quite happy to sit and watch what revenue they get come in the door. If he were to walk then they will have to appoint a new manager and i dont think we need a bigname signing either just someone with a bit of F****** sense!!!!!! Raging man !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nigel Clough stated after Commons departure from Derby that if there was 1 plyer in the Derby squad who frustrated him the most it was commons. He stated the player totally changed from his 1st season and he was a very frustrating player to manage as he had bags of potential but lost the appetite to easily.

how do you know we will not finish 3rd it happend before in the 90's, we are playing dog shit at the moment, teams don't fear us anyone and can come to parkhead and get points

we are shocking away from home aswell, the motherwell game we where shite aswell and got a good result, look at midweek at hibs won 4-1 look at yesterdays game.... and thats my point we don't know what team will turn up and even at that we where fucking dire 1st half midweek

also your point on commons, he played left mid for us last season and was hands down our best signing for 300K last season yes why is it our manager plays him on the right hand side when he has no right foot? he played him on the right hand side where he was not effective? you just don't change from 17 goals and playing fantastic to whats going on now

look at hooper, kayal ect this is the same team that got 92 points yet they don't fight anymore? wonder why, alot of people have been talking about lennon falling out with players and i really think it's true,

[dontimcorleone]

Sorry Folks, I am on the other side of the coin in this debate. Neil Lennon is Celtic through and through and I will argue tooth and nail in his defence. Last year when he was getting dogs abuse evry Celtic fan throughout the world was his number 1 fan, however when he's going through a rough patch in footballing terms the same people are throing all types of verbals at him. You people are no better than the scum that hounded him last year. We lost the league last year by 1 single point................this year the problems started in July\August, I ccan't prove my next point but it seems that the board failed to back Lennon in the transfer market regarding the acquisition of certain players and this failure has become more evident as the season progresses.

Neil can prepare the team for their weekend fixture but when the players cross the white line they have to standup and take responsibility and I certainly feel that it's the players and not Lennon letting our great club down. If we didn't have so many injuries he would be in a position to drop players to give them a kick-up the ass but unfortunately we are limited due to the injuries.

Lennon is a winner, he proved it in his playing days and he will prove it this year when we lift the league trophy in May.............mark my words.

On Rangers, McCoist has the grace of working under Smith for a couple of years and the core of his squad have been together for 5 years, Lennon hasn't had the luxury of getting a core to his side yet. Rangers are a settled side and it shows but if they have 2 or 3 injuries to their squad and results go against them then McCoist could be under the same pressure.

There's no prizes given out in November

bollox. any manager who allows ki(eech) on the park week in week out needs his head read. His tactics are atrocious constantly changing teams and playing guys out of position (stokes on the wing, commons on the right, samaras anywhere). lurch for example (and there are plenty) is shit and gets a game for us every week. There is no way we will win the SPL this year with lennon in charge. If the board as you say were making all the transfer decisions then if the guy has any self esteem he should have walked away.

[Walter_White]

Have said on here several times I did not want NL to be our manager. But to be fair to him he came very close to winning us the title last season,I know they bottled it against ICT, Samaras hits the net at Ibrokes and history would be telling another tale. I am not making excuse for him but what he had to put up with ,and still does to a lesser extent, last season must have took its toll. The fact he had the bottle to carry on when lesser men would have walked speaks volumes about his character.Now having said that I believe he should walk, he does not have the dressing room,what has changed from last season I do not know, and I do not believe he can get it back. And I can understand people getting angry about the situation we are in,but name calling and insults about his appearance are wrong. As supporters we have right to be critical but we should do it in a dignified and intelligent way. As the song para-phrases "we dont care what the animals say" but we should care about what we say about our club in a public forum. Remember NL is doing his best,the fact his best is not good enough is not his fault, the blame lies squarely with the man or men who decided to give an untried manger a shot at running our team.

The board only listen to us when we are vocal about our feelings. are you honestly asking us to stay quiet?? we are sitting 3rd in a pish poor league, when motherwell beat us (which they will) next week, we will be 6 points behind them and 15 points behind rangers and st johnstone could overtake us. its people like you i dont understand, we all pay good money to watch celtic, but this isnt celtic, i dont recognise this team. were a squad full of overpaid, under par forgeiners with no talent and no grit. there isnt 1 player in that team i would keep at the club. they are all piss poor and we need to show the board that its not acceptable.

right.. define dignified?
how can you out a manager in a dignified fashion??

[Walter_White]

"wee gingy rodent" does lack a bit of dignity. Listen mate I agree with your sentiment just not the way you said it. Have read most of your posts and I believe you are better than that statement.

[Capriano]

Listen, hes on mega-bucks, im sure hes big enough and ugly enough to accept a bit of slagging for ruining my football club!

"wee ginger rodent" is hardly the worlds worst slagging.

Last month i heard a guy shouting "ya wee protestant orange wimp" at james forrest for mis-placing a pass.

[Walter_White]

I am sure it would be no sweat of Lennon balls if he was to read your statement,that is not my point. as for what anyone else said.....

[Capriano]

I refuse to be more "dignified" im not enjoying watching my team go down the pan. a forum helps me vent my fury and let off a bit of steam.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has played down rumours linking him with the vacant manager's job at old club Leicester.
Lennon (http://topics.skysports.com/Neil+Lennon/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif is reported to be on Leicester's (http://topics.skysports.com/leicester/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif shortlist as they seek a replacement following Sven Goran Eriksson's departure earlier this month.
However, Lennon, who enjoyed four successful years at Leicester in his playing career, insists he plans to stay at Parkhead despite being flattered by the link with Leicester.
"I am not aware of it (the speculation)," said Lennon. "I am very flattered, but I have a hell of a job here.
"There is an obvious connection because I played there. It is a great club with a bit of a clout behind it, but I want to stay here."

[dontimcorleone]

wee, ginger and rodent are not in themselves negative attributes i.e these are irrational reasons to have him go. I would prefer terms such as useless, clueless and stupid which are terms which explain why he should fuck off.

[LoyalTim]

I don't believe in personalising insults at people in the way some posts have in this forum against Neil Lennon. At the end of the day he is the manager of our club but it doesn't warrant some of the insults being thrown at him in this forum. Last year the guy went through hell and the celtic family stood shoulder to shoulder in support with him and how things have turned.

People states he's lost the dressing room, where has this come from and who is the reliable source? I am sorry to say it but we as celtic fans have to realise we are not an attractive proposition anymore outside of Scotland, reason being is the decline in Scottish football. Top manager don't see the scottish premier league attractive as do the top players. People spout on here that they can do a better job, it's easy to speak those words but stand you in Lenny's shoes and I garauntee we wouldn't last a week.

People on the radio are calling for Martib O'Neill to return, he won't as he's made it clear he will never return to manage a club for a 2nd period. Who's out there, Lambert, Moyes etc won't leave the premiership to manage Celtic regardless if we are a bigger club. The EPL is too big an opportunity to give-up.

I as a lifelong celtic fan will standby and support Lennon for the forseeable future and hopefully he will turn things around.

you can stand shoulder to shoulder with neil lennon as long as you want mate, but its clear to ther vast majority of celtic fans that hes never going to turn things round. hes lost the dressing room, and that is terrible man management. if he manages to remain as celtic boss until the end of this season, we may well end up in 3rd or 4th place and be 25 points or more behind rangers. face it, it was a gamble getting a rookie boss in, and the gamble has failed badly. time to cut our losses before this season gets any more embarrassing.

[LoyalTim]

Gibe me hard proof that he has lost the dressing room, I for one don't seee any of the players coming out and saying Lennon has lost the confidence of the dressing room. Players under performing does not mean the manager has lost the dressing room. Players are paid very well and they must be questioned on their appetite to wear the Celtic jersey.

I am a very good friend of one of the Celtic players relatives and he has informed me that the player he is related too has assured him that the players have full confidence in themanager and all the rumours are nonsense. He did however confirm that there had been disagreement post match over certain players performance and he feels that agents are unsettled players by touting possible moves in January.

Read between the lines.

[Iain]

I'm not waiting until someone comes out and says he has lost it to prove it. It is so fucking obvious he has lost it along with any sense of decency or reality as if he still had any of them he would walk away.

I'm a friend of someone who's granny once sold a dog to a Celtic player's 3rd cousins school teacher and they think Lenny should fuck off too. They can read between these lines or we can just spell it out: LENNY, FUCK OFF! No name calling (although I dont object to it, it's quite amusing as long as it doesn't cross certain boundaries that I dont think it has), I just want him fucking away, he is a total liability.

[dontimcorleone]

the Celtic players relatives and he has informed me that the player he is related too has assured him that the players have full confidence in themanager and all the rumours are nonsense.

is that because they are shite

[LoyalTim]

Iain, are you a true celtic fan or a honey pot supporter that comes along when times are good and when they get hard you feel liable to throw all kinds of foul language. Your tone is very inapprorpriate to say the least, the player in question is a very honest individual and a life long celtic supporter himself. By the way, agents do unsettle players i.e. Adaebayor, Fabregas, Nasri to name a few. It happens and when players become unsettled they tend to lack effort and commitment to their club and thats what I see with Kayal, Hooper and KI. Time will prove me right.

Lennon IS CELTIC TO THE CORE, HE'S THE MAN TO TAKE US FORWARD......BY THE WAY, WHO DO YOU WANT TO MANAGE CELTIC?.....I AWAIT YOUR REPLY

[tonybhoy]

he's not taking us forward,quite the opposite infact,apparently billy connolly is celtic to the core,why dont we try him next

[tamthetim]

The man in his own mind has not lost the dressing room thats why in his mind he feels its ok to tell the press his players are letting him and his cohorts down, time and again, he was the same as a player it was never his fault.

[LoyalTim]

Right, Lennon is not the man to take us forward, tell me who this man will be? Let's stop deluding ourselves because the board won't invest in players, the SPL is very much in decline, the Europa league is a mickey mouse tournament that isn't taken seriously by the big clubs. To attract quality managers, players you have to be in a good competitive league and playing champions league football.

So in my mind, until Scottish football is rebranded and financial investment i.e tv revenue is at least on a par with the English Championship, stadiums improved to bring out supporters of the smaller clubs, i'm afraid we are stuck. I am not blaming this all on the state of the SPL, but you must improve the product to attract quality both in terms of management and playing staff.

So on this basis, give me the names of managers you people want to replace Lennon

[tonybhoy]

if you check the "realistically" thread

[LoyalTim]

Checked the "realistically" thread and didn't come accross any manager with the wow factor. Names being mentioned McClaren, Sven Goran, Roy Keane, Alan Curbishly, David O'Leary etc. Well, another name which was mentioned was Billic, has experience on the European stage but rather untested in domestic leagues.

If I had to throw one name in the ring it would be Rafa Benitez or Mark Hughes

[dontimcorleone]

Mark Hughes

had mega money at manc and did fuck all. useless tosser imho.

[tierney1967]

quite suprised by the hate and venom pointed at lenon from OUR OWN FANS, after moaning about everyone esle doing it last year we seemed to be condradicting ourselves a bit no??? we must stand by lennon as it is not his fault guys, the team has let us down. There is no bottle inn the back 4. its clear to me, so why all the hate pointed at lennon???

[LoyalTim]

Well said tierney and I will support that statement, the manager is the easiest target and noone wants to come out and slate the players effort on the pitch.

[dontimcorleone]

so why all the hate pointed at lennon???

4 going on 9...

[tierney1967]

well its clear to me that the defence is the problem, clearly have no bottle, no understanding of each other and we need to invest big money on solid centre backs. The trio of management have done well in other positions, and have tried to sign big players in bellamy, mcfadden and co, what more could an experienced manager do differently???

[tamthetim]

Right, Lennon is not the man to take us forward, tell me who this man will be?

As much as we fucked up last year--3 draws at home on a trot--ICT--missed penalty we came close to winning, with some nice football to boot.

Same players this year, 12 points behind,manager blaming players,manager telling press player is unfit,player saying he's fit,manager fighting with players and benching them or putting them out on lone, manager telling us that he is the one to take us forward while we sit behind Motherwell after being knocked out of Europe twice and maybe thrice before Christmas.
So instead of this "oh you tell me who we should have", lets turn it around, who do you think we should get rid off?

[chrisbhoy]

the board have the job of drawing up the shortlist for replacing lemmon, its why they are there, to look after the best interests of the club and act accordingly when required. lennon is a fuking knob full stop. he must go or the board will start hearing the support at the home games. lennon knows he,s a prick as regards managing a football club so he should walk but he wont hence the reason we are pish. again i will say if he was half a man he walk away never t be seen or heard of again, we will put someone in temporary if required until they get another manager, davy hay for instance could carry the can for the time being. couldnt do any worse than the fukin imposter we have in place just now. im caught between lennon and thatcher as to who i hate the most, so i wish he would get to fuck cause i like hating thatcher the most.

Lennon IS CELTIC TO THE CORE, HE'S THE MAN TO TAKE US FORWARD......BY THE WAY, WHO DO YOU WANT TO MANAGE CELTIC?.....I AWAIT YOUR REPLY

I have been there when times were good but have seen my same share of shiteness being a season ticket holder for 20 years from 1985, so been through many changes. Living oversease of course now I dont see them other than streaming sites and match reports and good sites like this :-)

I have said in many posts it's not up to me to decide a name that's where the board will earn their crust or not (given the last 2 managers, including your beloved Neil, they will likely NOT earn their crust though). Keep awaiting my reply there I'm afraid...

Dont worry about "true" fans mhate, my allegience is not in question hence the strength is my disgust for what this so called "Celtic to the core" Lennon is doing to the club. Just trying to hang on in there and drag us down further. How many more points behind the Huns will it take for you to see he's NOT the man to take us forward, in fact he's doing a good job in taking us backwards, abely supported in that task by the board. Seen one board ousted in my time, now it's time for another, but also the manager.

You comment later that nobody wants to slate the players? Have you read the other posts on this site, not much love lost for some of the players and if they are as to blame as you say (which they are too) then it is your beloved Neil who picks them time and time again and gives the duds new contracts whilst freezing out others who have shown they can play a bit?

The language I'm not too bothered about although I have to admit that Lennon has indeed brought out the worst in he so in my politest tone possibly I would ask him ever so nicely to FUCK THE RIGHT OFF!!!!! :-)

give me REAL proof he has not lost the dressing room? works both ways, also plsyers underperforming is a major factor is losing the dressing room mate, so did you question their appetite to wear it last season? near enough the same team who got 92 points?

to be fair i have heard that he has from someone players like commons, paddy, kayal, and hooper don't want to play for him but cause it's someone who has told me don't mean it's true

it's plan to see someone is wrong inside celtic if you can't see that players just don't want to play for lennon then you will need to take then neil lennon tinted specs of mate

[TheJoker1888]

Mark Hughes

had mega money at manc and did fuck all. useless tosser imho.

done well at blackburn and fulham and was really good with wales, he is a good manager, also about city most of the players he did not sign

[TheJoker1888]

also neil lennon is not the man to take us forward, please don't kid yourself what a daft commonet to come out with since he failed to win the league last season and it's 12 points behind and it was not even november at the time.....

[TheJoker1888]

well its clear to me that the defence is the problem, clearly have no bottle, no understanding of each other and we need to invest big money on solid centre backs. The trio of management have done well in other positions, and have tried to sign big players in bellamy, mcfadden and co, what more could an experienced manager do differently???

yes the defence is the problem, so why is it the management has had 3 windows to sort it out and they have not done it? did we try and sign bellamy did we? i mean liewell and lennon spoke about it to get the fans thinking we did but did it happen

we did not try and sign mcfadden we ofered the guy a trail, a guy who is better than what we have at the club aswell a trail so we never went for him, also who are the co? the other players?

same old pish from liewell just to sell season books drop names in who they have not even went for

[dontimcorleone]

has had 3 windows to sort it out and they have not done it?

closer to 3 years I think.

[TheJoker1888]

has had 3 windows to sort it out and they have not done it?

closer to 3 years I think.

well under lennon they have had 3 windows to sort it out, i would say they have had 4 years to sort it out to be fair but they havent
