    As it says in the title, wee change from the doom and gloom on the board. Looking back at Lennons first spell, we played some brilliant exciting football, were hard to beat In Europe, got over 90 points 3 of his 4 seasons, signed a lot of good players and all without spending too much money. One would assume since we sell more season tickets and we get more European money these days he’ll be given even more to spend and we’ll be able to recruit even better. People seem to forget that our league form under Rodgers aside from his first season isn’t as good as lennons, didn’t score as many goals as lennons team and was in my opinion like watching paint dry on too many occasions. That’s without even getting in to the pumpings we’d gotten accustomed to in Europe.

    I dunno, I’ve got a very good feeling about next season :ynwacelti not expecting a quadruple treble but I think we’ll do well in Europe and win the league comfortably :62:

    Let us see if the board will back the manager before making any assessment.

    Always positive, regardless of who’s in charge.

    We should stroll the league next season as long as we upgrade at RB and get a decent partner for Ajer.

    The only thing I’m unsure about is how we’ll set up under Lennon. If we change to 442 then it pretty much makes big Tam surplus.

    Will have to see how the summer goes. I'm still pretty sure we'll win the league anyways. Who knows maybe Lenny might still have some of his European magic too.

    Depends on what we have lined up the 9th June when the transfer window opens. Recruitment team should have worked over time the last month to get in the required quality for the qualifiers.

    Going for 9 in a row. New manager. Lots of new faces in all likelihood. Guys like Johnstone and Dembele likely to be on show now and again. Griff back. CL qualifiers.

    How can you not be looking forward to it?

    Of course, it could all go horribly wrong, but at this stage of the year you have to be fairly optimistic I think.

    I'll save my final answer for the 1st of September

    I'm always positive that we'll do the right thing and invest, whether we do or not will be decided over the next couple of months

    Anyone who isn’t positive is paying too much attention to the hordes desperate for us to fail.

    We have a squad capable of Treble Trebles, which I believe will be improved, and a togetherness and drive to prove doubters wrong. Our manager has also been there and done it before.

    The last few months of the season saw some turgid displays but I put that down to a hangover from the unrest and some complacency, albeit still securing trophies.

    Buzzing for it already :ynwacelti

    I'm looking forward to it immensely because I hate it when we're not playing.

    We're about to experience a very exciting season no matter what happens because it feels like every game will be that little bit more important as we're approaching history at a fair rate of knots and with our breathtaking domestic run I imagine the players will not want to lose any competition we're in because now the plates are all spinning it would be such a shame to drop one now.

    Also excited to see Lenny's new approach as I've forgotten what it's like, just remember it was successful. It would just be sheer bliss if we qualified for the Groups.

    It would also be sheer bliss if Lenny guided us to 100 points and a record goal haul.

    That's all fantasy right now but it is achievable, with our minds set and the squad strengthened we can and will pump anyone and everyone domestically, we'll bring back the thunder to Fortress Parkhead, Lenny's Fort Rebels :celt_2:

    Wouldn’t say I’m positive, but put it this way, if we don’t win the league, my maws hoose is getting repossessed.

    I’ll be more positive once we start bringing fresh faces in.

    Too early to say. Need to get the summer transfer window over with first.

    As things stand I think we'll win the league. Transfer window could obviously strengthen or lessen that belief.

    Don't feel good about Europe. Think we need the draw to be kind. Don't want to see a red star, paok or young boys come out of the hat.

    Very much positive about next season. Surely we can't have as many injuries as last season, Bayo and Sved to come in, hopefully a couple more quality signings to come. Plus we've got a manager who at least wants to be here.
