    But it’s not the solution to our problems.

    Running as fast as you can like a bull in a China shop is part of our problem, not the solution.

    Guys running in to spaces and leaving their team mates stranded is a common theme which shows we don’t coach or practice a press at all.

    We have a pretty good squad with good technical players. I'm seeing a lack of fitness, tactics and hunger.

    That's a load of *. Rodger's wanted the bright lights of the EFL. Gerrard had absolutely nothing to do with it. You are giving him too much credit

    He could have had both. The job was open for him in the summer.

    Yeah Leicester were reportedly happy to wait until the summer.

    Could have, but it was nothing to do with Gerrard mate.

    Good for you that you saw it coming, give yourself a big pat on the back. It was a petty dig and you’ve just explained why in your response, the fans that defended Lennon have almost all said that it’s time he went. Is that good enough for you or would you like a personal apology?

    We can save that for our club custodians if we * the 10, I know you constantly said it would lead to a situation like this, I just don’t get what good calling out fellow fans does whilst the club we all love is a shambles.

    I dont know how he can be trusted. The squad isnt turning up in big games.

    I think a lot of the squad must take a look at themselves also. Theres players who were also guilty of not turning up in big games before Lennon too.
    For this reason, i think we need to bring in some new leaders.

    Failure to secure transfer targets and lack of european ambition as well as the riches of the EPL was the reason.

    Just go, I said earlier I’d give him until the international break and he has done nothing to make me think he can turn it around.

    The performance against Lille was just 30mins, out with that we were very poor and conceded under any kind of concerted pressure. The league game against Aberdeen woeful and a serious lack of game management and intelligence.

    The cup semi again it was just 30 mins of good decent play then revert back to type with a dire next 60 mins.

    Culminating in last night a good first 10-15 then horrendous next 75. That’s 4 games there where cumulatively we barely get to 90mins of good play/performance. It’s just not good enough, we continue to ship goals left right and centre.

    No evidence at all of work on the defence or looking in games to be more secure. Serious lack of open goal scoring opportunities and identifiable patterns of play. Clear the square root of * all gets done on the training pitch.

    Explains why our defence is a sieve, our attack is blunted and nullified by opposition and why our players are unfit. All of it a dereliction of duty and sackable.

    I'll assume DD & PL watched that horror show last night, they need to step in and make the decision for Lenny, the other week lenny mentioned that there are no grounds for him to be sacked, that alone tells you that he's lost the plot big time.

    The longer this festers the more damaging it will be, we don't want to get to the point where it's too late and the season is a write off.

    I can't for the life of me understand why he hasn't gone.
    Either he should have walked by now or the board should have told him to leave!

    Is Lennon that far gone he still thinks he is the man for the job or is he just wanting the next payslip as I doubt he'll get another job anytime soon!

    So bad it has come to this, loved the guy as a player, never wanted him back as manager this time around, sorry I was proven right, now he is doing nothing but damaging his reputation.

    Once this nightmare is over I would want someone that has no previous links to Celtic, we don't need another once good player/manager clouding anything!

    It's ironic really but this season inparticular i think we really needed a manager with no connection to the club, someone that could detatch themselves from the importance of the task and concentrate on the organisation of the team.

    Exactly.

    How many times has Lennon himself taken the blame for his *?

    He flung the supporters under the bus a few weeks ago by saying they were reacting to hysteria and there was no basis for him to be sacked.

    Then the next horror show it was the players' turn again to be his scapegoats, talking about poor mentalities and whatever other absolute bollox he was spouting.

    I seriously, at this stage, think Lenny has a Football Manager save running and he keeps getting that and real life mixed up.

    Or he's * mental. One of the two.
