Enough is Enough. Stop the Bashing

I think you have to be wearing the thickest green tinted spectacles in history, to still believe that this team, this management and, quite possibly, the board can repair or current wrongs.

We have a rookie manager, supported by a rookie assistant, backed up by rookie coaches. We have a rookie keeper, who's just a young lad on loan, as our number one for two seasons. We have young, rookie players who have never been over the course.

We have a board and directorial management team who under invest in every area of the playing staff and management staff.

I have not once said I want Neil Lennon to go. I am now. Go and go quickly and quietly. Please don't wait till things get so bad you are ushered out by security, facing an angry mob of fans. You can still walk now with your head held a bit high, as many of us believe a lot of the blame lies at the players feet.

 

Aye coz its quite clear we are going to do that

ffs the way this teams playing we will find our selves 20 points behind before christmas.... waken up mate we will not claw this gap back, am 1 for optimism but we have been terrible this year

 

ker leaike your optimisim but the league is done and dusted there is 100% no way our imposters will win the league playing like the way we are. you really need to wake up here and see this(all due respect)

 

I am the exact same 100% mate what a feel

 

These things dont happen overnight ...How long did it take Fergie to get man u going ?? We have to get behind the team ..all this negativity will get to the players ...
Wether Neil Lennon is the right man or not i dont know as i am not qualified to judge on here neither is anyone else ...Do you want to go back to a macari type manager who hadnt got a clue ..Lenon on the other hand has brought us gems like Izzy , Kayal ect ...
Instead of bothering with subjects like the Poppy thing lets all pull together ..Celtic is a FOOTBALL club not a political party ......Too many fans get embroiled with Politics , but for 90 mins each week is it asking too much to get behind the 11 players on the park ...Maybe all fans should try it one day and watch the players perform ..After all its Football we all love and go to watch nothing else

 

Your right, maybe i was rash, i hope Lennon just walks away, saves us all the bother, including himself.

I'd rather remember him as the man/player than the terrible manager he has become.

 

I think the fans have actually been fantastic so far. But the performances haven't matched. Its all well and good say "get behind the team, keep on cheering", but we are. Its not making any difference. Its the manager who is letting the team down, not the fans.

 

Fergie's team wasn't lying third in a two horse race though.

Macari was before my time but your description of him not having a clue could easily apply to Lennon on several things.

I dunno why you've went off on a tangent about politics but there is nothing surer than the majority of match going fans getting behind the players on match day.

 

Before it was Samaras' fault, then it was majstorovic's then it was Lennon's. Do you honestly think scapegoating one man can solve a problem. Ok, so we sack the manager and get a new one. If we do that then we've already sacrificed our campaign because a new coach will need "time" etc. Or. Or, we get through this bad patch and give our full backing to the players and staff. We can get back in this. We can.

 

It was always Lennon's fault, he chose to play all those players, he bought those players, he gave contract extensions to those players. The buck stops on the manager!!

 

AB1 ...but utd kept faith in him when he should have possibly gone too ..They kept with him and have never looked back

Macari & Lennon similarities i dont see any ..Macari had the Money to spend but didnt spend wisely at all , whereas Lennon didnt have the money and came up with some Gems ..so no comparison in my eyes

The political thing , its my opinion that some fans use the games to air their political views moreso than supporting the team ....Its just my view after reading certain threads in here

 

The managers job at Celtic and Rangers is a lonely one. When we are winning everybody is your pal but when we are losing then no one wants to know you. Its the nature of the beast and how the manager rises above it determines if he is a good manager. Unfortunately I don't believe Lennon will rise above this and will walk. The job came too early for him - That fat * at Ipox at least served an apprenticeship before getting the job.

 

Whwn Lennon replaced Mowbray, he won 9 straight league games. With the same side who had underperformed under Mowbray. Bringing in a new manager at any stage can kick-start a faltering campaign.

 

There is also nothing to suggest that Lennon has anything to do with these acquirement's. Pretty sure he never asked for these players to be scouted out cause he knew something. He would have had them brought to his attention, told they were affordable and then perhaps asked if he wants to give them a go.

So I am not sure crediting him with some of the great finds, as I believe that's mostly down to Scouts and Lawell finding players and checking if we can afford them. I may be wrong and if I am I will accept that.

 

Look when Redknapp took back over Tottehnam when they were on the way down, a change of manager certainly helps if it's the right one. ATM anyone other than Lennon is the right one!

 

I have been one of NL's biggest supporters, but the realisation that the currrent squad are not performing for him makes me question his man management. That there is skill in the squad is not in doubt, some of these players were excellent last year. We are short of Izzy, Scott Brown and Commons. Those three being out should not produce such lacklustre performances from others. Reluctantly, I agree that we must make a change and as always in these situations it is easier to change a manager than a playing staff.

 

Indeed they did but circumstances were different, IMO. If you're lying third in the typical two horse race in Scotland then serious questions must be asked.

I'll leave the comparisons with Lou Macari to folk who were around at that time because as I say I'm too young to remember him. All I'm saying is that the accusation of being clueless could easily be aimed at Lennon the manager.

Fair enough that's your opinion but I don't see what it has to do with our current predicament. The team get plenty of backing at the games, the blame for our league position certainly does not lie with the support.

 

the board are paying yet again for not getting an experienced manager in,lenny is better learning his trade at a lower league side not us.he has lost the dressing room players are not playing for him and his tactics are a joke and he cant seem to lift them either time for change

 

kerr o"conner you are like Lennon, you two cant see the wood for the trees

 

Tired of all the negative * people are posting on here, as well. The team aren't half as bad as many fans will tell you. Quite boring.

Think I speak for everyone when I say, I cannot wait for us to get back to winning ways.
