    You know something Ho, you might think you are being funny, but to someone who doesn't know you are at it like I do, would think you were an absolute moon unit for even uttering those words.

    Just be careful OK?

    What? my opinions are based on what I see. No need for name calling, yeah? Luckily enough people have opinions that differ or the world would be a * boring place!

    Be careful? You gonna jump down my bandwidth and strangle me? Grow up.

    Can you explain how, in your opinion we are going backwards under Lennon? This year was the first time since 2009 that we made the Group Stages of the Champions League, surely that is the club going forward.

    I said last week that I thought he'd be here next season without a doubt but you can bet your bottom dollar that the Lennon to Everton rumours will be getting shouted from the rooftops if Moyes gets the Man Utd gig.

    I wonder if something else is going on. What if Lennys been told his best are being sold off? and that there's unlikely to be big money spent on replacements? PL et, al might use the state of the Scottish game as an excuse to downgrade on playing staff.... maybe even a cheaper management team?

    Maybe Lennys been told all this. I would be surprised if he walked away from the Celtic job but at the same time he knows what it's like for a manager in that hot seat. Say he has an inferior team playing poorly he might feel that's not a legacy he wants to live with?

    Already are saw someone being asked if lennon could do the job as well as moyes in an interview. A musician i think it was cant remember but i wouldnt be surprised if it was asked by the scottish sun supported by the sfa and endorsed by the desolate one (fat salty of Mordor)

    It was a * joke son, although I'm sure you know that as well.

    I'll leave you to your wee game now, see if you can hook a few more.

    The reason we're not playing good football is because we sold Ki.


    I said this would happen back in August but no one listened to me....

    Lenny out, Oisin in.

    Don't see why everyone's against Lennon at the minute. We new he's a hot head and naive with some things but in his time he's done better than expected.. And saved the club loads. He did put up with loads in his personal life and had to sell ki and mcgeady to balance the books.. He's won the league and is now resting players like he's done most of the season. The problem is the league we are in, Lennon said he'd rest his players for the final gvn fringe players opertunity to show there ability! He did they have failed so I'd emagine that's exactly what Lennon expected and will sell them.. No bad managment there! But I'd agree if we fail to win the cup game v hibs his job may br up for grabs. And only then if agree he proberly should go.. Bring back Martin lol

    The best football we played under Lennon was in his first season

    So all of our woes are down to the sale of Ki?

    Given the fact that he never even looked like establishing himself as anything other than a squad player then that is laughable revisionism.

    I hardly think a lack of his sideways passing is to blame for an poor football we play.

    If so, then we should appoint Ki as manager! He was always on the bench.

    Ki, losing him was a big hit, creativity wise.

    How are we going backwards, well I judge us domestically, Europe is a bonus. It is also, a cup final in every game so the player performance will always rise.

    The football under Lennon in the first season, was a joy to watch. Very unlucky to win the league that year and we really * on most teams we came up against.

    This season, we have been * poor, no motivation and a lack of real spark. However, it is very evident while he has not lost the dressing room, he cannot motivate his players correctly to play and perform to the level we know they can.

    His attitude on twitter and in the media is a concern, he is becoming too egotistical and for me, starting to view himself better than he is.

    No one is bigger than Celtic and in my opinion, its time for a change. Disagree all you want, its how I see it.

    This place is infested with trolls and clowns. Lennon is the very best man for the Celtic job and hopefully he'll be here for a long, long time.

    Looks like David Moyes is taking over at Man United, Everton might come looking for Lenny. We should resist them, and hopefully Lenny will see he has more progress to make as a manager and can achieve lots more at Celtic and stay for a good few more years. If he sticks around and progresses as Celtic manager and ensures we are involved in the CL Group stages at the very least every season, then after 5 or 6 seasons with that sort of achievement bigger clubs than Everton will try to get him.

    Can't disagree with that.

    Watch you don't get pulled up on that, only certain people can get away with it on here though...
