    As the title says why was he?.

    Remember the days where we were feared in Europe? When we were seen as potential group winners? When we held the likes of AC Milan to extra time in the last 16 of the Champions League? We won the league 3 times out of 4?. And now we are stuck with a clueless manager who needs to phone real managers every big game we play. A manager who seems so clueless he chooses to make change with 20 minutes to go and as per its the wrong one!. Lennon's team has no guts and before people start saying it does, it really doesn't a team with guts is the team managed by Gordon Strachan who won the league agasint all odds. So again I'll ask why did so many want a man out who made us a force in Europe hounded out?

    He stated 3 years at a club was long enough for any manager at any club...with the exception of Sir Alex

    He loved the fans and continues to say so

    The Anti-Strachan brigade were a joke, and they always make me think of the saying, 'Careful what you wish for.'

    he was hounded by people who didn't like pragmatic football cuz the celtic they knew in the 90s had a flair for the dramatic that he did not replicate (he also did not replicate their losing streak)

    Because he was the next manager after MON which was a very difficult act to follow?

    Because his history when he played for Aberdeen against us?

    Because of his personality?

    Because his football was boring?

    Because he wasn't a Celtic man?

    Pick one.

    I was a fan of Strachan btw.

    His football was not boring and imo it was the same as MON's. And saying because he is not a Celtic man is ridiculous, if thats your mindset does that mean you wouldn't want Guardiola managing us?.

    Gordon was smart as one of his first tasks was to reduce the wage budget what he done was remarkable with the resources. He probably partly left as the purse strings were getting tighter and tighter (like they are now)

    I liked him, but our last season under him was abysmal. That's probably why.

    Cos the football was *. And at the time we felt we could go on and do more with the team we had, and we were right to think that, we were just losing some of our best players to age and them moving on and the money wasn't bing re invested in the team. I could not stand watching the football he played.
