So most Sevco fans are delighted we have Lennon as new manager but here is the question; what fills them with optimism for next season?

A few reasons why I think we will win the league next year.

1. Our squad is superior in every department.
2. Lennon is a better and more experienced manager than Gerrard.
3. They are more likely than not to lose their 2 best players Kent and Morelos.
4. Their signings so far are Jones, Davis, Hastie and Stewart - this hardly strikes fear into you does it?
5. Their squad is overloaded and ageing, they will probably need to sell before they buy
6. We have money in the bank and can spend if we want to. They will be risking admin to try and match us.
7. We are continuing to bring through youth players.

I do agree with Lennon. I think it is the end of the cycle for a few. I'd imagine Gordon, De Vries, Gamboa, Izzy, Bitton, Hendry, Eboue, Griffiths and maybe Rogic will be on the way out. We know Boyata and Allan have already signed contracts elsewhere.

If we invest prudently we should be fine domestically. Maybe not as confident of another treble but you wouldn't rule it out.

Buster 88 agree with most of what you said, I will reserve my judgement of Lennon until we see what goes on in the new season. We all know the board took the easy option to appoint Lennon and he got us through a difficult period. Surely it was the time again to appoint another manager with fresh ideas. Ed has mentioned Philip Cocu who would have been a better choice and he did a great job at PSV and had them playing good flowing football. let's hope we get rid of a lot of the deadwood at the club and let's invest in 4 or 5 quality players that can go straight into the first team. No more project plsyers we have enough young emerging talent to compliment the first team.

Problem with your post is Buster.

Once all the players leave that are at the end of there contracts or on loan, it leaves us with a very poor squad in most departments especially if and when injuries kick in.

I'm not saying Gerrard is a better manager but Lennon isn't as good as a lot of people think and we know we have money and you named a few players that you think might be leaving but if anyone thinks we will spend it now that Lennon has taken over then they need there head examined.

Going by reports about Lennon already giving players time off and fallen out with the Sports Science staff, by christmas all our players will be overweight, unfit and will be running on empty by the 60 minute.
