Neil Lennon

No need to wait for a candidate before sacking him, John Kennedy being temporarily in charge until we find a decent manager to take over, would be better than letting him continue, let's face it our performances aren't going to change regardless of whether he is sacked now or later

 

Might be worth contacting Pfizer, they seem to have cracked quick solutions to horrible diseases.

 

Celtic supremo Dermot Desmond has chosen not to axe Neil Lennon because he was so disgusted by the baying mob calling for the manager’s head after Sunday’s defeat to Ross County.

Record Sport understands the club’s majority shareholder is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lennon for the time being and offer him a last chance to turn the club’s season around, starting on Thursday night at the San Siro.



Sources close to the Irish tycoon have revealed Desmond was outraged by the violent protest which saw fans clash with police following the Betfred Cup collapse.

Lennon and his players needed to be given an escort by cops to get away from the stadium safely and will give his countryman one last chance to save his job at the San Siro because angry fans had gathered in thge carpark, ignoring Glasgow’s level 4 Covid restrictions to hurl abuse at the nine in a row champions

And those shameful scenes helped convince Desmond to double down on his decision not to bring Lennon’s second stint in charge to an end.

Our source said: “Dermot Desmond is simply not the kind of man who will be dictated to by a hate mob - if anything what went on after the game on Sunday has strengthened his resolve to give Neil another chance to turn things around.

“It’s obviously been a terrible run of results for the manager but last Friday, despite the Europa League defeat against Sparta Prague, Dermot was absolutely unequivocal in his support for Neil. Yes, the defeat to Ross County was a bad one but the reaction to it was even more unacceptable as far as Dermot is concerned.

Neil knows he can’t go on losing games indefinitely but he will also not be thrown to the wolves just because of the demands of a bunch of fans with an enormous sense of entitlement.


Lennon was back at Lennoxtown on Monday taking training as his team prepares for a dead-rubber Europa League clash with AC Milan in Italy.

If he can avoid another humiliating result on Thursday night then the Northern Irishman could still be clinging onto the job by the time Celtic face St Johnstone in the league on Sunday.

 

They are going to * about till we drop more points and by then it will be too late .

 

Support him to spite the paying support. *.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face.

 

Cannae believe we are waking up to this. Staggering. So typical of them to not have seen the writing on the wall and had potential candidates sounded out and waiting. He should have been sacked weeks ago.

 

Called it the second i seen fences getting thrown about by wee guys with no clue how to stage a proper protest. Was a * certainty.

 

* me

 

Hahahaha....Neds keep Lennon in the job...
* the Celtic Da's

 

Or the Record trying to provoke another demo.

 

Absolute * joke

 

Sky sports guy Anthony Joseph saying it too.

 

Yeah I noticed this as well.

I guess it’s fairly easy to suggest waiting it out if you’re not a fan. The reality is we’re on the worst run of form in half of the clubs entire existence, and it looks as though he’s still going to cling on.
It’s absolutely mental and the major factor behind the venom being shown towards him and the board just now.

 

Great.

 

Fucksake.

Disgusted by this.

 

If he flies to Milan then he’ll be our manager until the huns beat us on the 2nd and the league is over. If that happens then there’s no * way I’m paying another £600+ on a ST next season to get the pish ripped out me by the board for another year.

 

Alienating the full Celtic Support because a couple of neds got some Buckfast courage?

* me. We certainly know how score an own goal. I have never, ever felt so disconnected from my club.

 

I can't get my head around how petty this is considering the monumental consequences of keeping lennon on for more league games. The board are content to hand stopping the 10 to the huns on a plate to spite a few protestors. Even for them this is a new low

 

What would be asked and said in those conversations? Seriously. DD+PL "so Neil, think you can turn this around?". NL "definitely ". DD+PL "that's good enough for us". The more they delay making this decision the less our chances of salvaging anything from the wreckage of this mess.
