For me its a case of when and not if Lennon goes. As I said in an earlier post his main strength was seen to be motivation. 16 games in to 10 on a row season it's clear the players are not motivated by Lennon. If we lose midweek and then at the weekend it will be the final nail in the coffin.

He didn't hide the fact players wanted out. No one left after this. Clearly there was a division within the dressing room. Lawell made him retract that statement which was quite simply embarrassing.

Ajeti mid week arguing with Lennon when he was subbed. There is obvious tensions with him and Griffiths.

Shane Duffys face in the Sly interview when asked about tactics. He clearly doesn't believe in the 3 at the back Lennon was going for.

Players seem to be regressing - Cal Mac, Ntcham, Ajer, to name a few. I don't think they have become bad players over night, simply a product of poor coaching. Frimpong has stalled massively, young Dembele appears to be off at the end of the season. If we had a top class manager I don't think this would be the case.

Lennon has the demeanour of a broken man and its rubbing off on the players. I think Lennons interviews are beyond cringey now. He seems like he is trying to convince himself as much as others.

Players being missing is no excuse with the quality of the squad at his disposal.

Moving forward I think the team needs a manager who will install discipline.

My candidates would be O'Neill or Strachan until the end of the season. Hopefully they could galvanise the team and put us back on track.

Eddie Howe is an interesting option. If we had 6 weeks pre season for him to implement a playing style I'd be up for this but I am not sure he could come in and hit the ground running.

Other I would at least consider - Roy Keane, Marco Silva or Nigel Pearson.

I like the Eddie howe idea
But agree the timing is an issue

I quite like the nigel pearson idea but a lot of fans would dislike that as Pearson is a survivor and backs to the wall type manager .

I like the idea of Martinez and maloney . could you imagine

Martin o'Neill for be and or strachan to end of season

And then we go again

Or

Let's rally behind neil.

Del Boy I agree with some of your points but u lost any credibility bringing up Roy Keane and Nigel Pearson! Uve got to be at the wind up! Keane MON Strachan and to a certain extent Lennon belong to a bygone era! And Pearson is just plain rubbish! We have some terrific players who are being badly coached! Most of that squad no nothing about the pressure of a close championship over here either, to many living on former glory! We need a massive shake up before it’s to late.

I can’t think of a reason I’d ever give up my season ticket but Roy Keane would make me consider it.

Del Bhoy, I think that Lennon has very poor man management skills but Keane, the team would fall apart.

I knew the post would divide opinion but we need authority. Past lessons need to be learned with Mowbray and Deila, good philosophy but not necessarily had the full respect of the dressing room or had everyone pulling in the same direction.

Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane combo would work for me. There would be no chance of players not pulling their weight.

Pearson for me has always been a bit underrated down south, he played a big part of setting the foundations at Leicester before they won the league. He's no nonsense as well which I like.

Martinez would be up there with the appointment of Rodgers but I can't see him fancying it.

Hearing Lennon lost rag with some in dressing room today, if true that'll be home then.

Jack Ross?

Since Duff left and Strachan has came in, players have regressed instead of progressed. Duff is going to be an exceptional manager.

Brown . escape to victory

Christie. dead man walking
