Lenny's 100th Game in Charge

Ah Cheers

 

One of the most respected managers ever at the club.

 

Nice win tomorrow will do nicely

 

well done neil, 100 games and not out! I sincerely hope he's our manager for hundreds more games!

One Neil Lennon!

 

thanks lenny for all the memories so far and its only getting better :icon_mrgreen:

we should have a thank you thread signed by members and a link sent to him

 

Was at that game, as weird as it sounds, its one of the games I'll forever cherish going to, a truly unforgettable, emotional experience. After all the * Neil had been put through last season, the league was more or less secondary to the fact that our manager had simply got through the season intact despite the efforts of bigots sending him bombs/bullets not to mention the scumbag who assaulted him at tynecastle.

Then to hear neil say "this isn't the end but the beginning" was just so inspirational; sure things were rough earlier this season though to his immense credit the man never lost faith in his side or himself even when some of us were starting to; I now dread to think what state our club would be in if we hadn't came back from the dead against killie. It could end up being one of the most important celtic results in recent history.

Not to mention the 60,000 strong huddle, a truly awesome sight to behold for those lucky enough to be a part of it.

Here's to many more hundreds of games Neil!

 

Lets top of your 100th game with a great victory YNWA Lenny

 

YNWA Lenny! Well done Sir Top geezer

 

Congratulations Lenny, your a * legend. Let's destroy Butcher again today!!!

 

Doesn't time fly when your having fun

The story of the 100 games is worthy of a movie, so much has happened! It would be great to add a treble to the story.

 

He has been through a steep learning curve and it was probably a bit of a crazy move to make him manager 2 years ago. He was a rookie, no doubt about it, and it has shown at times as we have fluctuated between good and bad runs. Its a miracle we clawed back that deficit. However by the end of the season he will have been in this very hard job for two and a half seasons and he will be a rookie no more going into next season. He will have learned on the job at Celtic.

Winning the title is really the only stat that matters and I think we will do it this time. Every Celtic manager stands or falls on that. If he wins the title he is a success. If he doesnt he is a popular man but a failure. Its as stark as that.

I still think he has been erratic tactically but he has built a superb squad of players and the team looks stronger than it has for at least 4 years since our 3rd in a row and last CL last 16 season which was our previous peak before the decline. If we can hold onto these players and Rangers remain in this state it could be a period similar to Rangers 9 when we should romp it for years and we could do some sort of similar run of titles. Once the titles chock up Lenny will become a legend. Some people use that term to lightly and call Lenny it before he has won a title, such is his popularity and the * he has been through, but he will earn it over the next few years. I am confident he will do that and it couldnt happen to a nicer bloke.

 

He nearly ruined his 100th game in charge by playing that stupid 4-3-1-1 after Maj got sent off.

The amount of space Hayes and Shinnie had was criminal. Could of easily cost us the game on another day.

 

they tried there best to spoil it * them all.

 

Happy 100th Lenny. Those * tried to ruin it, but not this time

 

Not the best ways to celebrate your 100th game in charge, but at least we didn't lose today.

 

Yeh but he saw it wasn't working and put it back to a 4-4-1 by putting Forrest back out on the right so at least he done the right thing.

Wasn't the most fantastic, free flowing game but wins like this is what needed at times.

100 games in charge and sealed with a win. Here's to at least the next 100

 

this.

 

Then put Commons on and reverted back. You could even see Commons pointing to Sammy saying he will keep running in behind for the flick-ons.

Bit of naivety from Lenny.

 

Well done Lenny.
