Realistically what would it take for the board to act and escort NFL from the building? He certainly isn't going to walk as he's nowhere to go and id struggle to see another club offering him a gig in the way we did. The football is turgid and the overall presentation of the man, which reflects on the club, looks unprofessional and disinterested. I didn't play sport to any great level but if I was struggling and looked to the bench to see the gaffer slouched, arms crossed like a bum at the bookies it's not getting me over that hill. From the little I see of him as a leader or manager it's almost impossible to see anything about him that motivates or inspires players to give that extra.

Really like this angle, Philiphlop. He has "passion" and credibility as great Celtic captain. He seems to shoot from the hip tho in interviews and the like. He certainly has never demonstrated anything like the analytical attention to footballing matters that the better managers seem capable of--Rodgers, certainly. The problem with passion is that he's not our mascot, he's our manager. We need a details man, or woman. Someone who can turn those details into a statement about who we are as a team. Lennon's not up to that.

If passion made managers imagine what Keane and cantona could have achieved in management. Lenny didn't plan ahead, at least not to any decent level, it wasn't inconceivable that our players may become unavailable. Unlikely but not impossible in the current climate. It's a manager's job to prepare for those eventualities. If all had been well the starting 11 would have been easily anticipated. Lenny failed to plan and to compound it he then confirms such in a whiney manner. To me that's a sacking offence. He didn't prepare for the curve and then complains about it.
