On top of his shocking treatment of Hibs players, and akso Timo Weah, we have this abiut Lennon:
“We sent Oli to Celtic in good faith with Brendan Rodgers and (head of recruitment) Lee Congerton – really good people up there. They wanted Oli and I am sure they would have made him a better player.
“Once Brendan left to go to Leicester, the treatment he got from the manager in place – well, subsequently we do not expect any of our players to go anywhere near Celtic Football Club. We currently have a new manager who will start working and looking at Oli and hopefully he now has an opportunity here at Albion. â€.

And he was mince under Rodgers to gie yerself Peace.
2.) 25 Jun 2019 10:29:43
Does anybody really care what WBA say or think! They put him out on loan coz he was pi** for them and low and behold he was pi** for us too!
3.) 25 Jun 2019 10:35:38
Burke is a sub standard player who is nowhere near good enough! Must be one of the most overrated players of the last 15 years! Couldn’t give a flying f*ck what some tosser from WBA honestly!
4.) 25 Jun 2019 10:42:39
They wasted £15m on him, didn’t know how to use him so punted him to us in hope that we would turn him into a player, and are now bitter that they’ve realised he can’t be saved.
5.) 25 Jun 2019 11:07:41
To be fair to Oli Burke he was played out of position al the time he was at Celtic, Lenny seemed to bin all the loan players including Benkovic who was by far the best centre back we had, I said at the time clubs loan out players to gain experience and get game time and after the way Lenny handled the loan players we will be lucky to get any more, no point taking them if you don’t want to play them .
6.) 25 Jun 2019 11:42:31
Was reading this morning that Lennon actually gave Burke more game time that Rodger did. He is a glorified sprinter that is good at running in straight lines. If he was that good then why has he been loaned out so many times with no one willing to pay decent money to keep him?
7.) 25 Jun 2019 12:21:23
Don't let the truth get in the way of the chance to slag lenny.
8.) 25 Jun 2019 12:21:52
Benkovic was one of our best, but the last 7 or 8 games Ajer and Simunovic were really good, so surely you build up a pairing that are ours, rather than play someone who's just going to leave. Seems really obvious not to split up 2 players playing well together.
9.) 25 Jun 2019 12:37:52
So it doesn’t concern anyone that Lennon had to be restrained? That’s fine cos Burke was so bad? Jesus.
10.) 25 Jun 2019 12:38:03
Exactly lenny didn't bring them in and benkovic had a long term injury which let sumo back in and he never put a foot wrong that's why benk never got a game and Burke was just crap weah weanted to leave and tohjlan was mince all Rodgers signings not lennys.
11.) 25 Jun 2019 12:48:25
They only played him 5 times in all completions the season before last so are they treating him worse than us then?
12.) 25 Jun 2019 13:06:15
Think if you want to criticize Lenny, you should pick another subject, rather than Ollie Burke, I was very disappointed in Lenny, not giving Scott Allan some game time, in an underperforming midfield, as Allan had performed well when Lenny was manager at Easter road, I think something must have been restraining him,
13.) 25 Jun 2019 13:39:16
Celtic might as well of signed Usain Bolt, he is pish and not our player and hopefully never will be. Benkovic is a great dc in my opinion but we could never afford him permanently so why bother developing him for Leicester when we can develop simo and ajer. West Bitter Albion should take a look at themselves and maybe play there beloved 15mil signing a wee bit more. It's a bit rich coming from them after there treatment of Darren Moore.
14.) 25 Jun 2019 14:03:14
Aindoh why on earth would he play Scott Allan when he already signed a pre contract to join hibs?
15.) 25 Jun 2019 14:18:57
Maybe when the manager at West Brom plays him in the coming season they will realise why Lennon stopped playing him. When a professional can't hit an open goal from 3 yards out that might be a good reason not to play him. Look forward to seeing and hearing what he has to say when they see he us not to it and try push him out on loan again.
16.) 25 Jun 2019 15:09:15
He was still our player, Celtic were still paying his wages, if he improved the midfield, why not play him?
17.) 25 Jun 2019 16:14:01
Aindoh is or related to Scott Allan, guys been going on about this player for yrs, Allan was never good enough to wear the shirt.
18.) 25 Jun 2019 17:19:48
Bhoywonder - great response.
19.) 25 Jun 2019 17:24:43
Lennon came in and rarely played any loanees. To me that was him assessing what he had and needed replacing permenantly, don't agree with a lot of loan signings, especially when they are mince and the parent team see us as a way to give them experience rather than them playing them. I know its the only way to give younger players game time but still not a fan. Man city, psg's cast offs then maybe, west brom?
20.) 25 Jun 2019 20:07:33
What's this Lennon had to be restrained from Burke? Is this another rumour that is doing the rounds.
21.) 25 Jun 2019 20:23:46
Burke had a couple of good games but overall was poor. West Brom are living on another planet if they think because a player cost 15m he automatically gets game.

People actually still think Weah will sign for us now that Lennon has been appointed!? He treated the boy poorly and acted like a petulant kid in the process.
1.) 01 Jun 2019 13:06:02
A lot of "what happened" is newspaper speculation,
31 May 2019 16:07:58
Neil Lennon as Manager of a Celtic going for an unprecedented 10IAR, with Damian Duff as First Team coach. I suspect Lawwell and DD have their own sick bet on to see how many heart attacks they can induce among the support next season. I still make us favourites, but the 10 is definitely in jeopardy.
26 May 2019 16:57:26
Downunderbhoy, you clearly haven't been paying attention to Lennon's previous comments, or the rubbishstorm created at Celtic when Deila suggested that pro footballers should look after their bodies 24/ 7. Under Lennon, it'll be 1980s uk footbaler rules. He's a rubbish coach who won't have success anywhere else.
1.) 26 May 2019 21:34:50
Lennon had Hibs playing modern, attractive football, then for whatever reason he lost the plot, with some of the players, maybe a clash of personalities? .
Ronnie had Celtic playing turgid, boring football, but that didn't matter as long as they were eating the right nutrients and vitamins, then for whatever reason, he lost the dressing room, maybe a clash of personalities? .
{Ed007's Note - You really don't have a clue.}
2.) 26 May 2019 22:12:16
Educate me Ed, I was talking about the way Lennon had Hibs playing before he did what to whom, from the story I heard, not the way he had Celtic playing, and if you thought Ronnie had Celtic playing exciting modern football, we will have to differ.
{Ed007's Note - You're ignorance stops you being educated.}
3.) 26 May 2019 22:12:18
Tbh I do think deila was pushed out to quickly. But this was kind of justified when the big name replacement came in. Celtic played much better football under deila than lennon, the difference being there may be a few more memorable ones under Lennon.
4.) 26 May 2019 22:31:04
If Aindoh hasn’t a clue then neither have I. ðŸ˜.
5.) 26 May 2019 22:45:38
My ignorance invites me to be educated by someone who is less ignorant than me,
{Ed007's Note - I'll try and find someone that fits the bill and get back to you but I wouldn't hold out much hope.}
6.) 26 May 2019 22:46:54
Bigbenny, my memory must be really, really bad.
7.) 26 May 2019 23:12:35
Bigbenny, Deila couldn’t beat a poor Sevco team who scraped promotion from the second tier of Scottish football. I could have led Celtic to victory against that team of misfits. Lennon beat a Barcelona team that was, at the time, regarded as the best team in the world.
26 May 2019 12:15:03
Genuinely disturbed by the amount of fans on here who are still blinded by 'Lenny' and his perceived 'Celticness'. This guy will destroy every single area of the club that was modernised by Deila and Rodgers. We'll be back to a team playing slow, turgid football, players gaining weight and blowing out of their arses after 60 minutes. Chips, cornflakes and full-fat Coke back on the menu again, with players getting constant days off. I wouldn't give Lennon the managers job at Pollok juniors. I'm genuinely sickened by this appointment, but not surprised in the least at this board's lack of concern.
1.) 26 May 2019 12:27:54
Maybe we should hire Jamie Oliver as the managers assistant.
2.) 26 May 2019 12:35:59
The reality is, when Rodgers left, you could have replaced him by picking someone via the paradise windfall draw and got the job done, such is our superiority. Love Lennon the man but can’t see this as anything other than regression . Football is changing but we seem to be going in the wrong direction from anyone with ambition. Wouldn’t be surprised if total spend on players is covered by Rodgers compensation.
3.) 26 May 2019 12:49:58
Were we regressing under Rodgers aye or naw.
4.) 26 May 2019 12:54:17
Naw. But he had took us as far as he could.
5.) 26 May 2019 13:02:02
Aye.
Lots of harsh critics here ye entitled to there op.
They are right about food plans etc we have moved on since then players also need to take responsibility. I for one wanted Lenny a lot disagree especially here. Lorimer said Lennon was chosen from a panel of whoever. The Celtic board have done a gd job past 10 years etc. This is a different era Lennon and food plans will be dealt with via the fitness and nutrition staff this was introduced 10 years ago it's working lads Scotty brown not my fav but the man is shredded lead by example TS up to our training staff to do this. They have done hence why we are the fittest in the league.
6.) 26 May 2019 13:08:47
Kev what were you watching this season.
7.) 26 May 2019 13:10:38
‘Took us as far as he could’ is manager speak for ‘I’ve run out of ideas and I’m going to jump ship before I’m found out’.
8.) 26 May 2019 13:48:37
I was walking us win a title with the same points difference and better goal difference than last year Mally.
I was watching us win a treble the same as last year
I was watching us reach the exact same round in Europe as last year though through Europa instead of the CL.
Like I said naw but he had took us as far as he could.
9.) 26 May 2019 13:54:41
Possibly Lawwell and Rodgers egos both caused a problem coz we seem to stop moving forward and really only poor opposition kept us in front. Standing still in football IS going backwards .
10.) 26 May 2019 14:05:39
The football we played this year's been pants so we are regressing the trophies tell a different story al give you that. but even broony touched on it yesterday we haven't played well all season. diesnt say much for the rest.
11.) 26 May 2019 15:28:32
We lost the potential of 80plus? goals from dembelle, Armstrong, Roberts and Griffiths without replacing so all said it’s been an exceptional achievement.
Some decent recruiting and we will be flying next seas.
12.) 26 May 2019 15:44:36
Mally you've got to take in to account that we've had a season of serious turmoil.
Losing Dembele the way we did
The boyata carry on
Things between the board and Rodgers not right
The injury list we had
Then Rodgers jumping ship.
13.) 26 May 2019 16:18:22
Mally you've got to take in to account the turmoil the club has went through this season as well.
Losing Dembele the way we did
The boyata carry on.
Losing Griffiths for most the season
Rodgers and the board at loggerheads
Our injury list
Rodgers jumping ship.
26 May 2019 00:32:20
Lawwell haa done what he does best: he's taken the cheap option. By appointing Lennon, he's just put 10IAR in jeopardy. Very poor decision from our penny pinching board who don't give a rubbish about anything except making money.
1.) 26 May 2019 07:22:20
Aye! Disgusting even considering a guy who stepped in at short notice, got us over the line to win the league and took us to a winning cup final.
We have just completed an historic Treble Treble so Savour that for a wee while and NL's record is not too shabby.
Who is to say we would get another BR anyway?
NL is the manager and I am behind him all the way now.
2.) 26 May 2019 09:35:17
Thought him and lenny didn't get on that's what was said on here . prob more made up mince right enough.
3.) 26 May 2019 10:34:09
Hi there, first thing congratulations to all at Celtic for rebel treble will never be done again. As for Neil Lennon getting job, I always felt if we didn't get man with proven European experience Lennon will get us 9 and 10 iar. Look at r squad for next season we'll have tierney, Christie Griff's back.
06 Jul 2019 11:09:57
Souny1888: not to mention that, of the 30 goals el Duffalo scored, a third of them came against Kilmarnock. Also, only one in Europa league, I think, and of course none against the Scottish champions.
01 Jun 2019 10:59:17
If Celtic were to sign Ikpeazu, I would hope that this would lead to a riot and the removal of the chief executive and the entire management and coaching team. Ikpeazu is absolutely diabolical.
01 Jun 2019 07:53:00
Never.
28 May 2019 21:05:12
Tbh, I'd havd Moyes as manager before Lennon every single day of the week.
27 May 2019 09:51:57
Lennon is just a puppet with Peter Lawwell's hand shoved up his arse.
