Some of the posts on here are mental.

Between the banner to wanting a manager of the calibre of Rodgers back - plenty weren't all that happy all the time when he was here - especially the last 12 months when he got itchy feet.

Like him or loathe him, Lennon has a better record domestically with 76% of a win ratio vs Rodgers and his 70%.

Has everyone forgotten the European experience under Rodgers getting done by PSG and Barcelona?

Guy left us in the middle of a historic treble treble season before a cup game and tried to take all the staff.

In the past 43 League games Neil has lost 3 and drawn 5.

This season there's been Bolingoli putting us on the back foot with 2 postponed games for corona to get his jam roll. Eddy got the virus (I do think there's something else there) , Biton, Elhamed and Christie all got it. Julien is only just back and James Forrest (the same guy that gets pelters all the time on here) has been a huge loss to the club.

The goals leaked are a shocker, but overall we're going for a delayed quadruple treble - thanks to lennon keeping up the cup run rodgers abandoned - and are 4 points behind where we were last year - which turned out to be a record year when we got motoring after the break.

It's not perfect but I think Lennon has earned the right to try and get it on track with a settled squad now we've got most of them back from Corona and injury.

2nd half tonight - despite Bains stupidity was more like the team we know.

Everyone has the right to complain about the manager - we all pay our ST money, but try to remember growing up when we won nothing.

Talking about Howe as a potential saviour - do we really think half way through the season is the time to bring in someone untried with the pressure of delivering the expectations of a +70% win ratio to keep everyone happy? There's no substitute for experience.

I think not having fans in the ground is hurting the team - especially when it means hanging about outside with banners keeping the MSM or whatever in jobs.

Bit of a difference getting pumped in Europe fae a PSG or Barcelona compared to Sparta Prague don’t yae think?


2.) 27 Nov 2020 06:52:43
Spot on Garry

It's a big difference getting pumped by Europe's Elite and getting pumped twice in 3 weeks by a team like Sparta.


3.) 27 Nov 2020 07:12:43
At least we were qualifying for the Champions league to be able to get pumped by Barcelona and PSG. Now we are just being humiliated by the likes of Cluj, Copenhagen, and Sparta Prague in the Europa league.
You can twist statisics all you like but Lennon's record in the big games is terrible and he hasn't a clue how to deal with Rangers.
I don't know if changing the manager at this stage will save our season but I think if we don't we may as well hand the title to Rangers now as I don't believe Lennon has the tactical ability or the man management skills to turn this around.
I am not against Lennon the man, I know what he has had to put up with and he stepped in when Rodgers walked out on us but that doesn't make him a great manager and I think the perfomances this season has shown that.


4.) 27 Nov 2020 07:43:05
Well said Lubo. COYBIG.


5.) 27 Nov 2020 07:59:35
At the end of the day, the previous manager is now more remembered for his desertion and bail-out rather than The Invincibles, several Hun-skelpings, great football and the foundations of a treble-treble.
NL is in danger of being hounded-out of the club he has served and loved with any past glories and memorable times, blurred and faded by two-wins-in-nine, humiliating, shock defeats by the likes AEK, Cluj, Ferencvaros and Sparta (twice) ; a team that is disorganized, deflated leaking goals, drained of confidence and credibility; while failing to meet the challenge of TRIFC, losing twice at home in succession.
Peter Lawell, NL and these players are on the verge of notoriety.


6.) 27 Nov 2020 09:17:51
Yup it's right up there with Hapoel Be'er Sheva, AEK Athens and Lincoln Red Imps.

There's not been a settled defence or shape to the team since the start of the season due to all the other stuff that's going on.

Under normal circumstances I'd be starting to question if it can be turned around, but these aren't normal times.

I'm actually glad Europe is gone - I think that with the internationals is a huge distraction.

For me we I think it'll tell us if there's a way back for Neil with the cup games and once he's got a more settled side how they play over the next couple of weeks before asking for a couple of cans and brendan back.

The only thing I'd agree with from most of the other stuff on here is that it's time Brown was used more sparingly - he's still got a lot to offer in big games but should be spared for them and brought on from the bench in the other games if needed. This is definitely time to to help bed in the new broony.

I can’t criticise a fellow fan too much for trying to stick up for our manager.
But he has been given time to make it right and failed.
Most fans wanted a change after the CL exit and rant.
My breaking point was 3 weeks ago when we were first embarrassed by Sparta Prague.
I knew that night Lennon wasn’t going to win us the league.
Celtic have showed Lenny respect in these last 3 weeks and gave him more time to try and turn things around.
It’s not working and it will only get worse to a point of no return.
Celtic need to change the manager now to give us any chance of getting back into the title race.


8.) 27 Nov 2020 10:37:42
Time for change, and yes it likely won't get us the 10 (which no-one outside Celtic Sevco give a flying feck about) . What it will do is give us time to build for nxt season and beyond as we know a big turnover of players is imminent. I'd rather start that now than in summer.


9.) 27 Nov 2020 12:12:51
LuboLarsson what utter bollocks! Rodgers did not return 2 wins out of 9 games in his tenure, also Lennon has managed less games this tenure so its obvious he will have a higher win rate.

Lennons league points total is 3 points away from being as bad as Tony Mowbray.

LENNON OUT NOW.

Really disappointed in the news about Rodgers - can't believe the timing, or the standard of club he's going to.

Think what makes it feel worse is that we gave him the chance to rebuild his career and whilst he's given us a lot of success, feel he owed it to us to deliver the final part of the season.

Onwards and upwards - we won plenty before him and will win plenty after him.

Ed - what would you say the chances were of Martinez and Maloney as replacements?

LuboLarsson

{Ed007's Note - I can't see it. I actually thought Martinez would have went to Leicester lol


1.) 26 Feb 2019 16:31:47
Ha! I thought that too when they were linked yesterday. Know it's a bit of a long shot but of all the names those would be the ones that would cheer me up :)

Just please god - anyone but Moyes.!


2.) 26 Feb 2019 16:31:44
Who do you think will be our first choice ED?

{Ed007's Note - Neil Lennon until the end of the season then Clarke if he fancies it, if not Lennon will get it full-time. Maybe even a Clarke/Lennon partnership to rival those other great double acts like Morecombe & Wise, The Two Ronnies or even Hale & Pace.}


3.) 26 Feb 2019 17:40:39
I don’t know if Lennon and Clarke would get on. Two determined men who don’t like to compromise.


4.) 26 Feb 2019 19:25:59
frank lampard or benitez would do.

{Ed007's Note - Fat Frank 😂😂😂😂

First time poster but been a follower.

Got to say I’m not surprised at the fanfare in the media about Defoe - but I’m amazed at the reaction of fans on both sides.

“Game changer”, “will score for fun”. Can’t say I’ve watched many Bournemouth games but do know that Ryan Fraser is top of the league for assists.

Has anyone seen the 8 games the latest epl player to join the strolled it before they landed gang managed over 2 seasons?

Surely a guy from Tamworth can’t be keeping a prolific scorer out the team with the leagues top provider firing balls in just waiting for a touch to go in?

Genuine mentalist hype going about. Sure 8 years ago the guy was a player but how can anyone claim to know anything about him now?

I’d be gutted if that was our policy - would be a real step back to the Gravesen, Wright and Cole days - don’t think we’re that desperate.

Agree we need experience, but we need it at the 24-28 mark where there’s still a bit of resale potential and a better level of fitness for the pressing game we’re trying to play.

As per usual they are putting their eggs in one basket.
They had 4 years to build a team to challenge Celtic, but they were giving guys in their 30s three and four year contracts, which ment when the time came to play Celtic they were too old.
Now they are trying to stop the 10.The players they have brought in won't last the distance. I would be more concerned if they brought in guys who will last these next 2 1/ 2 years.


2.) 03 Jan 2019 20:58:15
Mcgreggor 36
McCauley 39
Wallace 31
Dorrans 31
Airfield 30
Candielas 30
Lafferty 31
Davis 35
Defoe 36
The squad is a mixture of loan players, older player with little or no value and short term contracts.
They only have 9 first team players with more than 17/ 18 months on their contracts.

If we do our business well this window, get our squad focused and build up momentum we can just about destroy them.
Gerard is building nothing here, no real plan, no foundation, no solidity and with our assistance no future.

Great post 10 iar.


4.) 03 Jan 2019 21:18:21
ffs there's a sevco page for all this pish keep it to what we do on here please pity them (sorry ed ill let u edit the sweary word lol )

{Ed007's Note - 👍


5.) 03 Jan 2019 21:48:13
Sorry folks - point I was making is reading some of our own talk about it you’d think we missed out!

Don’t believe we’d ever have been interested and glad he’s nowhere near our team - that would be a shocking step back.

Eddy needs a bit of back up but I’m pretty sure even congerton has better options than that 😂.


6.) 03 Jan 2019 23:59:22
agree great post 10nro.

I'm not totally against Ange as a manager and not sure I buy all the concerns about the lack of European experience. If - and I know it's an if - it's part of a deal with someone like Harkin coming I think that mitigates the risk a bit as Harkins job is all about knowing the European market and has a great contact book from his work with City.

It's been talked about a lot here - Ange's job should be to coach the team, the DoF or whatever they bring in to support should be more about squad development and recruitment.

I was never a fan of the idea of Howe and while it's left field I think this looks like a better option than MON / Keane - for what it's worth I'd be worried that their time has been and gone. I'd have liked Duff to get involved in the set up, but looking at the options I think Ange might be something different.

Think there may be something in that re getting caught flat footed based on the style of play.

We've had two seasons where we've been comfortable - in previous matches against TRIFC they weren't organised to the same extent that slippy has got them - they're still a bang average team - but yesterday was like watching the Killie game - limited ability with organisation. Only difference was there was a higher pressing game we weren't matching.

I was all for Lennon maybe sticking around for the 10 but looking at him and his body language over the last few games - he's not looked like the Lennon of old. I would have at least expected us to be fired up for the 2nd half yesterday but there just wasnt the fight and there was nothing coming from the bench.

Could just be the tail of what's been a honking season in terms of injuries, change of backroom and pressure of the cups catching up with the players, but I also wonder if Lennon knows it's a short term thing after all and if that's what's affecting the mood.

Anyways, it was a pointless game - just knocks a bit of the shine off for me - 12 points would have been a better points diff to shut up the media and all the closing the gap clap trap.

Onwards and upwards to a triple treble!
