    Cannie argue with any of that at all.

    It's been the worst capitulation from any top tier team that I can think of, even Arsenal aren't as embarrassing as us at this point, which is beyond shocking.

    I would want to try and believe this, but his complete failure to change anything, to acknowledge that his way of doing things is what is literally harming us, suggests to me he hasn't a clue nor care to actually fix the mess. I say no care - as in to bother his * to do something. I am sure he would love to see it turned around, but every interview he gives he blames someone else and tells us it is up to the players to figure out whats wrong - complete lack of awareness of what his job actually is.

    Lenny has decided to put money before his reputation and given this will undoubtedly be his last job of any significance as a manager i can sort of get my head around it !!
    However the same can't be said of lawell , his well paid job ( and it is a well paid job ) is too make sure the best interests of Celtic are looked after on and off the pitch , he has failed miserably and even now after the damage has been done is still refusing to go along with the wishes of the fans , a lot who've went above and beyond their financial limitations !!
    He should be ashamed but think we all know he won't be , * should be booted the length of London road

    At this stage i dont think its a money issue with lennon.i think he him self feels its down to the board for not letting lenny manage his own way/own players.

    Its all gone wrong and im guessing he feels its the boards fault and not his,hence his refusal to walk.I know its immaterial to us fans (we just want him gone)but as some have said before lennys not going to be broke (financially)after this and im beginning to think this is a blame game between lenny and the board.

    When (if) he eventually gets the sack, I really cannot see any teams who would be willing to give him a job. Even teams like Hamilton of St Johnstone will not touch him. This could effectively be his last job (at least in the UK)

    It won't be his last job, that's nonsense. Plenty of clubs about the world that will give him a job I have no doubt about that. Plenty of madmen in charge of football clubs.

    Most managers would want to preserve their reputation within the game, the longer this goes on the more damaging it is to Lenny himself, but clearly he dosen't give a * about that, ultimately the Board are to blame for not ending it.


    This has become the Deja Vu thread, you just find yersel repeating the same thing lol, very draining.

    Aye maybe but he will never get a job of any real significance , certainly nowhere near a club like Celtic

    I think thats hitting the nail on the head Prof ! I think most of us agree he wants money he is due and probably told Lawwell that weeks ago , and it is money he is entitled to legally . If the 300 thousand is right enough that is money that Celtic can afford to pay but that shyster Lawwell instead of paying it or as results and performances are * pathetic he could have sacked him as anybody that cant do their job is usually sacked . Stalemate and the 2 dickheads dont want to back down now .. Desmond if he had any balls would sack the * pair of them long before we got to this stage .

    The only reason he is still here is because of Lawwell and Desmond’s incompetence.

    Going into this season they didn’t have a Plan B if Lennon failed.

    Lennon should have been sacked months ago and they’ve still not managed to secure a new manager in that time.

    Now they are wanting until the end of the season. #ShootTheBoard

    End of year review.

    - You’ve spent £30m over 3 transfer windows whilst keeping basically all the first team players bar Forster, yet the team have regressed massively.

    - 23 points behind in 10IAR season.

    - Humiliated in Europe by Ferencvaros, Sparta B and Sparta A.

    - Record breaking cup run ended at home to Ross County.

    - Your use of the squad is terrible. You didn’t use Soro or Turnbull until fans protested.

    - You don’t watch games back to see where the team can improve.

    - Keep up the good work Neil.

    I don't understand the logic behind not sacking him because we're rebuilding in the summer.

    Dortmund are in a similar situation but it didn't stop them getting rid of Favre and appointing a temporary boss, because it wasn't working at all under him.

    should never have been given the job full-time in the 1st place, going from a manager like BR to Lennon should have set the alarm bells ringing, and in hindsight it was proven correct. but we are where we are.

    Any Board worth their salt would have had the wheels in motion long ago.
