    After the big game Lennon has talked in the last few days if we dont sign at LEAST two more players by the end of the window serious questions need to be asked. Either he is incompetent or the board are making an absolute fool out of him. Meling signed tomorrow would make everyone feel a lot better.

    Again that's all just bluster mate. I'm 100% behind whoever's is in charge even though I think he should not of got the job. But just because hes the Celtic manager does not make him above criticism. And so far hes deserved it from the Cluj disaster to criticism of our fans and his constant bullshite about signings.

    You suggested people aren't backing him because of his name, false tan, shiny suit and some other utter *, I couldn't care less if our manager was a 3 foot Chinese dwarf standing in the dugout in a pair of speedos with a duck on his head if he knows not to play our best midfielder at left back in our biggest game of the season.

    Hope that all helps lad

    Is he actually though? Do you really think Lawell gives a * what Lennon, fans or media think?

    He answers only to DD and until DD sees the results hit he's pocket Lawwell is given a free ride.

    It's the same old pattern and this time around i think fans are finally starting to see through it.

    Lenny is obviously NOT a big part of the recruitment policy and that is worrying.

    Beginning to think BR jumped at first offer when he got shafted last transfer window.

    'Hope that all helps lad', Wow are you always this pompous? I dont even know where to start with that verbal diarrhea, 'criticism of our fans '. So you can you criticise Neil Lennon as much as you like but if he criticises the fans in anyway you wet the bed? What an OTT hysterical reaction. Absolutely pathetic.

    For all the heat he's taking, Lenny ain't daft. He knew exactly what he was doing. Everyone knows the transfers are not conducted by him personally so by telling the media he expects a couple in the door mon/tues and then they don't arrive as expected everyone can read between the lines.

    He's basically saying the targets have been identified by him and the scouting team, they've done their job. They're now waiting on Lawell and his team to do theirs & conclude them. When they don't arrive it puts pressure on the board and takes it off Lennon.

    I don't know if this is the case or not, but whatever way you look at it this is a terrible state of affairs, it's beyond embarrassing, especially for a club of our size.

    Lenny himself cannot be happy with the situation.

    It's been like this for absolute years, just this year because we are going for the 9 and 10 everything's completely intensified. Folk need to chill.

    I agree he ain’t daft but unfortunately that’s exactly how he looks right now having made another statement and it failing to come to fruition. Another in an ever growing list over the past couple months.

    Regardless of whether it was Lennon or Park, or a combination of the two, whoever the braintrust was that picked out those 14 players over three years needs to be given back control.

    Not just because those lads were good players (because we also signed a load of duds in that same period) but because there was a clear and common thread throughout all of the signings based upon bringing in players who were fighters, who were committed to giving 100% and who had a bit of quality about them.

    I particularly liked that Celtic side of 2012/13, which was lenny's 3rd season and a team that he had put together.

    Looking forward to Neil's presser today. Hopefully he can give us an update on where we're at with transfer targets.
