The league is gone, in truth it was probably done before today but no point dwellng on it now. Give Lennon the cup final and a chance to complete another treble then find some 'mutual agreement' to allow him to leave with a bit of a pay off (I don't expect him to resign when he's due a decent amount, let's be fair he'll never have a job paying this well again) .

There's no rush to make another appointment, its all about planning for next season so just make sure we get it right. Would be nice to win the Scottish Cup as last thing I want is to see them do a treble. Finishing second is a must too of course.

If we're all honest, this 9iar is poor and distant relation of the 9iar under Jock Stein, there is no comparison between the two. And if we'd managed to do the 10 it would almost devalue what the Lisbon Lions achieved.

Bring on next season, we go again HH.

No rush to make another appointment Gerry? U do realise that we need to finish second as there are 2 spots for champions league qualification available. At the min we will struggle to get second. Change is needed now to spot more dropped points.

We need to be planning ahead, feckin sick to death of trying to scrape through the qualifiers. Systematic failures that have us where we are now.

The league isn't gone if the board are decisive and remove Lennon today and appoint a genuinely good manager. Kennedy, or John Collins, or Henriuck Larsson aren't the answer.

It's 13 points with an unassailable goal difference, so effectively 14 points. We have two games in hand and three derbies. That's 15 points IF we act now and get in someone competent who can organise a defence and motivate a team with fresh ideas and who has some knowledge of sports science and fitness.

If Lennon is allowed to stay till the cup final, we will be atleast 18 adrift and have lost the cup to Hearts.

I agree with you Lennonout but I think even when we get a new manager in it's going to take a couple of games to get that side playing like a football team again too many bad habits have got in there.

You're spot on tony2bhoy, but a decent manager can usually get a reaction in a short space of time even though it'll take a while to properly implement his ideas. anyone who can organise a defence will be an improvement.
these aren't bad players, they just look spent. they haven't looked fit for months. they need a lift and to get the ball moving quicker, and some movement off the ball.
people criticise brown for going sideways, but they're generally isn't a forward pass. Eddie is surrounded by 10 defenders, so either can't get the ball or goes wide and there's no one in the box. it'll also help to play players in the correct positions. don't be shoehorning people in just because of a name. Christie isn't the same out wide. he's a ten.

Lennon needs to go today and the board need to spend the money on a quality manager. jack ross, john collins, even Larsson won't excite the fans (at least not the sensible ones) and then they run the risk of an empty stadium next year.
I remember Rodgers said he gave the players a dossier each week on the guy they were likely to be up against. Lennon says he doesn't even do match analysis .

All we need from a new manager is some organisation and some basic tactics. I'd be fine with grinding out 1-0s or 2-1s until we go to Poundland, and hopefully, come away with a draw. We can start to think about attractive football improvements after that. Just get some organisation and effort into the team.

We need a win there IF we have any chance of winning the league So strange saying this at the start of December but that is how far we have fallen the longer it takes to get a new manager in the less chance IF we have one at all of regaining the title sadly enough.
