    I * hate him and this club right now, there needs to be an inquest after this season into what the actual * is going on behind the scenes cause it's not normal.
    Hes a parasite who should've been sacked 5 times over by now.

    If there was one professional among them, they could tie him up like a * pretzel.

    But instead, we get "how long til jamesy's back"

    No-one made us hire Lennon, we didn't have a gun to our head.

    The decision to appoint Lennon against the wishes of the majority was the board's own.

    In fact, Rodgers walking out mid season, gave the board more than enough time to sound out a replacement. But they didn't bother themselves. Lennon was getting the job no matter what. He was always the cheap, lazy, unimaginitve, yes man they wanted.

    From a guy that knows a guy :

    Lennon is on a 100% salary bonus to deliver the 10, and as such can't be sacked until it's mathematically impossible without triggering the Payment.
    If he were to be released of his duties just now, Celtic would have to pay out £3.2 million, instead of his £1.6 million salary.

    They don't have to sack him, they can give him notice his contract is not being renewed and put him on gardening leave until the end of his contract. No breach of contract, no pay out as we are not getting the 10. So I think your guys guy is talking pish.

    That’s a lot of * IMO. We could just put him on gardening leave as we ain’t winning the league under any manager.

    I can't see that being true.I really doubt Lennon went into the negotiation table with any real demands nor do I think the board would give him any. They got their "yes" man.

    There's no chance that Lennon is on £1.6m a year (£30k a week)

    He was on £400k a year in his first tenure.and won't be on too much more than that this time round, especially given he was out of a job.

    The isolation meant they weren't match fit any more..

    But not so unfit that they didn't all go straight back in the team

    Just enough unfit to use as an excuse when his brain catches up next month with the * that happened in January.

    We are probably less than a month away from it being mathematically impossible to win the league anyway. Maybe he will leave then but no going to hold my breath. So scunnered the now with the people pulling the strings at the club.

    Wait a minute...

    At the weekend he said he didn’t have the answers anymore. And now he doesn’t understand a question about why he should potentially step down?

    I never had Lennon down as daft or stupid but he’s coming across as an incoherent mess.

    He's here to the end of the season and the silence from the board should tell you that .
    These * on the board are a disgrace and they need to get to * as well and while the zombies are strenghting for next season we are in a state of limbo and wasting valuable time to get the new manager in and look at the squad .

    I think it is just a "perfect" storm this season. Players who'd rather be elsewhere, sick of Lennon and downing tools. The board being asleep at the wheel and no having any option lined up, Lawwel leaving so no got his heart in it to try and fix things.
    Only way I can see change is more demonstrations. Bombarding the tweets with abuse and basically further humiliation for the club and ourselves. They will then be able to play the victim card and paint us as the bad guys in all this.
