Neil Lennon to be approached by Norwich to be their next manager. Lenny has a 1.5 million release clause in his contract. Again that's
Coming from Lawwell. Hail hail
So Norwich have already agreed that fee with Celtic? If they are to approach Lennon? Because I'm fairly sure that they would have to speak to his employers first. NL has no intention of leaving Celtic and to be honest, I really can't see him being sacked.
"Again that's coming from Lawwell."
No it's not.
Sooner he goes the better. Totally scunnered with lennon being manager. He is not the man for job. Getting sick of his contradicting statements, wasnt so long ago he was slating GB and now he knows fans are not happy he comes away with "talk about 12th man' pish.
Its a lie about £1.5m clause, lawell never discloses stuff like that
I think Lennon is on a 1 year rolling contract so prob is about 1.5 million to buy that out. Still doubt it's coming from lawwell though
Lennon doesn't get paid 30k a week, and that's how a rolling contract works as far as I know - say he receives 15k a week, if Celtic sack him he gets 3/4 of a million, and we get the same if another club wants him. As for Lawwell spouting all our business, I doubt it, but there can be a bit of psychology involved as well, especially if he maybe would actually prefer it if he did leave! Personally I would prefer a change, I don't like the way we play, technically we are poor, I don't think the kids we are bringing through are at a good enough level, and on top of this you have teams in the english 2nd division saying players they are getting from us aren't even fit! Terrifying! Someone said to me recently that Malky Mckay is lined up, I quite like Stevie Clarke, but would probably prefer someone from Spain/Germany - I would ask Pep Guardiola for a meeting and get a recommendation from him, once again last night his Bayern Team had nearly 80% possession against Arsenal who are arguably the most technical team in the Uk. Bottom line is I want a change in direction - Mourinho for eg told Southampton to go for Pochettino and what a job he is doing, supposedly all the players have been blown away with his ideas, compared to a typical British manager in Nigel Atkins, give me some of that!
DN30, the GB are great for the atmosphere and I do like them for the job they do but when all this political stuff comes out it is vile, even you must have been slagging them off. As Jock said "I think there are enough songs to sing about Celtic without bringing up all that political pi$h". I paraphrase of course. In Neil I trust, until he is replaced he will always have my support. Hail Hail
DN 30 Wghere is he contradicting himself, he asked them to stop all the political stuff that was all, has alway's had good thing's to say regarding the GB's support of Celtic, who did he take the championship trophy to, yes that's right the GB, your hatred of the man know's no bound's, as I have said before, if you don't like it, stay in the house, your becoming boring
Tambhoy
What a lot of pish that Lennon will leave at the end of the season I agree with the comments that our style of play is a little predictable but with no rangers to keep us up to it what do u expect? Norwich will probably be fighting it out at the bottom to stay up and why would they take a risk with Lennon when there are lots of good proven E.P managers out of work . Celtic need to bring in a Larson, Hartson, Sutton, Canetti to help bring on our young attacking players . U have got also remember 9/10 teams we come up against park the bus and put 11 players behind the ball, it is difficult to play good attacking football when this is the case and even best teams in the world struggle .
@tamtimtic GB don't bother me to be honest mate. Have no opinion with regards to them. Just cannae believe how NL will get tore into them one minute, then when he realises fans are not happy with way he is managing club, rallies for their support.
@tambhoy tube I never once said I hated him! I've clearly stated that he is out his depth and is not man for job and the sooner we get rid of him, the better! Lost even more credibility stating in papers "ive got a massive rebuilding task ahead"! His team and after 4 years states this!
Several times he has contradicted himself! Mowbrays signing policies- slates him then goes and does the same, stance with GB, stating he was going to start "naming and shaming players" then down the line stating he will always support them!
Whoopy do! Goes over to GB with trophy! That was end of last season fud! Changed his stance during this season when GB got banned then back to normal at last game!
You do not have a clue what you are talking about
I think because of my age (ha) I don’t mind the Green Brigade either way but its never nice to see fans at odds with the Club and it was good to see they didn’t go down the boycotting road.
I know some older guys have an issue but seems to be more a generation thing that we actually NEED a singing section however loads of Clubs have this now and its just moving with the times I suppose.
When I seen some saying last week though the team played better and it was the best match ever, I mean c’mon really?
I can only imagine some saying this must have been born in the 2000’s
Where did you see people saying it was the best ever?
On places like twitter lol
Jim I just thought, they must be about 10 years old.
DN 30 Ah the wean's threw the rattle out the pram again, funny how when you can't answer your critic's they become tube's or such like, so did he take the championship trophy to them or not?, you don't have to state you hate him, it is quite obvious in your every post, you think he doe's not do a good job but guess what some of us do and we are quite bored with your constant complaining,
Tambhoy
Tambhoy I answered every question put to me. As for wean thrown rattle comment, that's just a lame attempt to fill a sentence as you have nothing constructive to say.
Everything I have said about NL and GB is exactly what happened. It is irrelevant who he went to with trophy, he still made statements against them before st johnstone game.
That will be the next piece of nonsense you come away with, saying I hate GB next.
Its fans like you that are holding the club back. If you don't like what I post then don't read it! At the end of the day everything I've said is based on factual evidence.
DN30 What question's have you answered?, oh yes you agreed he took the trophy to the G.B. but I was a fud because it was the end of last season, though doing it on the day you were presented with the trophy would be the right time to do this, you say I have nothing constuctive to say, when have you ever said anything constuctive, never as far as I can remember, I do the most constructive thing Celtic supporter's do.I support the manager and his team, win, lose or draw as the song goe's. He took us into the last 16 of the champion's league, he WILL lead us to 3 in a row, only the 2nd manager to do it since Big Jock, at the start of any season the league is alway's the priority, anything else is a bonus, in my opinion, we are all entitled to our opinion without being abused, I'm sure the other side will be happy at the name calling some on this site do, when someone disagree's with them, await the tirade of abuse, although you were a good bhoy in your last post. Holding back the club, laughable, it's fan's like you that need a reality check, don't red your post's! I would have nothing to laugh at if I did that.
Tambhoy
Tambhoy dry yer eyes and stop whining. can't see how lennon taking trophy to GB at THE END of last season, has any constructive argument to fact he was quick enough to denounce GB for antics, then when the heat is on rallies for their support!
Who exactly can compete with Celtic in SPL? If I was in Lennons position I would expect to win 3 in a row, your disgracing the legend of Jock Stein by even making comparisons between lennon and Stein. You are living in a wee fantasyland.
What is lennons cup record? Still think he can be classed in same category as Stein?
Here we go again! Last 16 chat again! that's only argument you have to defend your debate. Team was much stronger with wanyama and hooper. Who was responsible for replacing them? Whether you like it or not buck stops with lennon.
Your actually quite the comedian pmsl
Malky Mackay is the next Norwich manager.
DN30Dry MY eye's and stop whining pmsl, trophy at end of last season, well since he has not won this year's league yetit would be hard to do it just now, or is that too logical for you, who can compete with Celtic in the S.P.L? That is Lennon and Celtic's fault. How?, I did not put him in the same caagory as Big Jock, what I said was he was one of two who had done it since Big Jock, are you keeping up, btw Gordon Strachan was the other, you probably wanted him sacked too.Cup record's, no he has not been lucky in cup game's but as I said in my other post they are a bonus, . Last 16 did he or did'nt he, easy question.Wanyama and Hooper, who is responsible for replacing them, I think the question should be, who allocate's the money to purchase player's surely not Lennon, as my old Granda used to say you can only pee with what you've got. I am quite funny are'nt I but not half as funny as you
Tambhoy
So let's get this straight Tam, everything good that has happened to the club in the last 4 years (3 in a row, last 16, signing Wanyama/Hooper, praising the GB etc) is down to Lennon but all the bad (f**ked in Europe, embarrassed in domestic cups and the rotten moves in the transfer market, bad-mouthing the GB etc) can, and should, be blamed on someone else?
Lennon has had worse results than John Barnes and Tony Mowbray combined, you probably supported them as well like the good wee consumer sheep you are.
Take your blinkers off Tam, as my granda used to say, in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
@tambhoy you did pit lennon in same class as stein. Check your previous comments. Strachan was a good manager, its all went to pot since then. don't try the old "blame the board" card with regards to transfer money. Anyone who would even consider signing kevin doyle, needs to see a head doctor. Your insane starting to blame everyone else but lennon, its supporters like you that would quite happily run club into ground. Your forgetting that celtic are one of the biggest clubs in the world, simply plodding along out of all cups and seeing club being misguided by poor management will not be tolerated!
Jock stein would be turning in his grave if he seen how club is being managed and how a minority of support (yourself) are having the sheer audacity to compare NL to him.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself
DN30 I certainly did not put Neil in the same catagory as Big JockYOU need to check my previos post's, once again I will state, since Big Jock only two will have won 3 in a row.FACT. Transfer money, who sanction's the spending of this money, the board FACT.I am now insane because I don't agree with your opinion, catch yourself on ( don't know if that's as bad as being a tube or a fud).Will not be tolerated, who are you talking about, you, what will you do then, boycott. Ashamed of myself, don't think so, it's not me who want's to put a man on the dole
Tambhoy
Che my old mucker, so your saying everything good in the last 4 year's is not down to Lenny, F--ked in europe, my opinion is we got gubbed by Barcelona away from home, don't think we were gubbed at any other time, Morton I will concede, I will add though, how many non regular's did he play that night? you have to make up your mind do you want him to give other's a chance or not?. Barne's and Mowbray, how many trophie's did they win?, yes I did support them because they were the Celtic manager at the time, I have no blinker's on, I have said on many occasion's this is not the worst Celtic team or indeed the worst Manger I have seen at Celtic.Your Granda is a wise man, like me he has probably seen worse Manager's and Celtic team's in his life. Anyway good to hear from you again, even if we do disagree
Tambhoy
@tambhoy you are saying that lennon is in same class as stein for 3 in a row. that's the lowest of the low, tarnishing the legend of the greatest manager to ever manage celtic.
When stein got 3 in a row, league was more competitive not just rangers, but likes of hearts and aberdeen. These days, league is a certainty for celtic to win. A one horse race, in which we are the undisputed favourites. So for you to even suggest that league is a challenge and achieving 3 in a row is a miraculous achievement, absolutely stuns me how blinkered you really are.
Whats NL performances in all cup competitions been like? Piss poor! Whether you like it or not, solid performances from wanyama and hooper got us through to last 16 in CL last season.
True board sanctions these signings, but to my knowledge(maybe i'm wrong) is PL not the chief executive? When did he become a scout? Lennon is the one who goes to him with signing targets. PL is putting all faith in NL signing suggestions and club has been let down! NL has squandered millions on inadequate signings and it will come to a head. Personally I wouldn't give him another brass bean to spend.
Its not about putting a man on the dole, iits about the right manager being in control and NL is not that man. He has had 4 years in control, time to pass the baton. From what you have posted, it is clearly evident that you don't care how team performs, just as long as lennon is in charge. Anything you say from now on, can not be taken seriously. All credibility has long gone.
You are starting to ramble on as you know you have no relevant argument.
DN30 Now read this carefully, I will write it slowly so you can maybe get the gist of it.When Neil win's 3 in a row as manager of Celtic, will he be only the 2nd manager of Celtic to do this since Big Jock, it's not rocket science. Anyone who supported Celtic during Big Jock's reign know's without a shadow of a doubt, there will NEVER be another like him, now are you getting that. No competition in the S.P.L AGAIN I will ask, is that Lennon or Celtic's fault. Miraculous achievement ( your word's not mine) If it is not as you state a miraculous achievement, how come only one man since Big Jock has done it. Wanyama and Hooper got us through to the last 16, Eh who was the manager that played them, oh aye it was Lennon, you getting it now?.PL is not a scout, is Lennon?.What job is it that John Park doe's, oh aye he is the chief scout. Who then make's money available for transfer's, oh aye big Peter, tell me did Lenny not say he wanted Finnboggason, who vetoe'd it because he was too dear, oh aye big Peter. Yes it is about putting a man on the dole, just because you think he is not good enough, and in your own word's you said you did not want him to be given the Celtic job at all. I have been watching Celtic for a very long time and I do care how we play, but the most important thing to me is winning but I will alway's be there win, lose or draw because that's what Celtic supporter's do. Now let's see I have been insane, a tube, and a fud now I am a rambler. Argument's ( I would use the word debate's) have no relevence according to you, well old son you have not beaten me in any of the debate's we have, you know how I know that, not once have I resorted to name calling but I will now you are without doubt the most short sighted Celtic supporter? I have ever debated with. The only thing that shine's through from you is your hatred for Neil Lennon, you have never once said anything constuctive about him or his Celtic team, you should really stay in the house until you get your wish.
Tambhoy
DN30 As a wee addendum, another victory and clean sheet for Neil Lennon's team today. AAAAHHH in Neil we trust
Tambhoy
{Ed007's Note - I moved your posts together Tam, you had logged out on the longer one. I'm getting why that happens looked at.}
@tambhoy sorry got bored halfway through reading your post. Going round in circles, your making a fool of yourself.
Away sober up and stay aff eh cider
Tambhoy bit predictable you would reply after the game. At end of the day win was expected against a youth side sitting on 6 points.
Tata lennon sooner the better
DN30 AW now I am a drunk, I am going round in circle's only because you, can't see the forest for the tree's, you only got bored because it was too long for you to understand, all the answer's are there IF you can see them but your blind hatred of Lennon will not allow you to see, only one person making a fool of themselve's and that's you, pointless having a debate with you, as I say you hate too much to realise when your talkig $hit, after the game? again is that Lennon's or Celtic's fault, your last line really say's it all about you.
Tambhoy
Cheers ED

{Ed007's Note - Have you clicked the 'Remember Me' box Tam?}
Ed no I did not tick the remember me box never noticed it to be honest, cheer's again mate

{Ed007's Note - No worries mate, hopefully that works.}
I will drive him there
Tambhoy, I agree with you.
DN30, I disagree with you. But that probably makes me a fud too doesn't it?
