Lennon or Yogi will be the new Hibs boss.

Heard from a few sources than Lennon has been given the GREEN light today to start planning for next season. Rodgers unable to resolve contract situation at Liverpool and Lennon to be unveiled on Sunday/ Monday.
Hope I'm wrong and I will be logging in after an announcement is made 1 way or another and will be happy to take the flak if wrong but 1 of my sources is in the know and rarely wrong about these things.

I heard John Lennon will be given a warchest of acid to try to get his head around how you would know any of that.


2.) 20 May 2016 16:43:10
Haha nice one daviebhoy! U do come out with some crackers sid! My sources is in the know and is rarely wrong! Haha aye right then mate!


3.) 20 May 2016 16:44:25
Can't reveal my sources, like I said shoot me down IF I'm wrong when announcement is made mate.
Can't reveal or I will get him in trouble.


4.) 20 May 2016 17:06:35
youll defo be taking flak bud, lennon isn't wanted by fans or board apparently, stupid decision and since it looks like DD is taking the reigns on this one i'd expect keane or rodgers, didn't mind lennons tenure but backwards step imo,


5.) 20 May 2016 17:09:34
Psychic, your source is rubbish. Brendans just been announced as the new manager!


6.) 20 May 2016 17:10:58
You're never a Celtic supporter Psychic sid - I knew it from your first post. Anyway we don't read tea leaves and rub crystal ball's - that's left to that mob from Govan, who we all know are in league with the Devil.


7.) 20 May 2016 17:13:47
Sid you don't half come out with them mate. I actually thought you may have been psychic until you told us you had a source! Let me down there. Anyway, this morning you posted stating you were worried about the prices bookies were placing on potential candidates. What I think and tell me if I am wrong, you have watched Lennon's price fluctuate and decided to come up with that ' the dug ate ma homework' type story to get a reaction out of idiots like my good self.


8.) 20 May 2016 17:16:42
Just confirmed Rodgers! Psychic go back to blackpool reading crystal balls.


9.) 20 May 2016 17:17:15
You got that wrong, Brendan now new Celtic manager. Hail hail.


10.) 20 May 2016 17:18:43
Your source is a big fat liar mate. just been announced Brendan Rogers.


11.) 20 May 2016 17:19:06
Nae luck Psychic sid - Rodgers is the man. Get in. I'm the first to slate Lawwell and Desmond, so fair play, especially to Dermot. If it doesn't work this time then at least we know we gave ourselves a better chance than previously! Have a great Friday troops. I'm in a good mood as I head to the boozer after work. I'll be thinking of you Psychic sid as I tan my first pint of the black stuff. 😜.


12.) 20 May 2016 17:28:26
Hey Sid let us all know when you are back.


13.) 20 May 2016 17:32:24
Thought you woulda seen that coming Sid.


14.) 20 May 2016 17:42:10
Dear oh dear sid u don't half look daft now pal! Good call but, tell that source in the know to keep it up! Hahahaha!

Right Sid I'll just get my gun.


18.) 20 May 2016 22:54:53
Fair play, guys doesn't really matter all that matters is that BR is the man to get us into Champions League.
Hey 1st post as predicted by crystal ball from Blackpool 🙈 was Rodgers was signing on £20k per week, £500k league win bonus and £1m champs league qualification bonus after he sorts compensation with Pool within 48 hrs, the crystal balls never wrong!


 

 

20 May 2016 08:14:15
Rodgers odds on becoming manager have drifted from 1/ 50 at Betfair to 1/ 4 from high street bookies 1/ 9 to 1/ 6 still odds on but then again Keane was the same before KO the move.
Malkay McKay has went from 16/ 1 to 8/ 1 hope this doesn't make a difference but it is a tad worrying.

Psychic Sid

1.) 20 May 2016 09:58:49
I wouldn't be believing the bookies with their odds, are they not designed to make people place bets? They also said a Liverpool player was favourite to score the 2nd goal on Weds and we all know what happened.


2.) 20 May 2016 15:43:39
No odds are reflective of probability, the greater the odds the more money they have to pay out and the less likely it will happen. Rodgers is now 2/ 5 from 1/ 50 essentially 20 times less likely to be appointed manager than he was yesterday meanwhile Lennon is 3/ 1 from 8/ 1 more than twice as likely to get the job.
My mate the bookie also advised that even small bets change the odds on these markets a fair bit as there is no form to go on so Bookies cut the odds when a particular candidate is backed as they think the person placing the bets have inside info.

Rodgers has been given 48 hrs to thrash out a severance deal with Liverpool. He reportedly knocked back £7m of £10m he was due for the remaining 2 years of his £100k per week contract when he left.
I believe he will try to land £3-4m of the £7-8 he is now owed as he's already received half a seasons worth.
Sellik will offer him £20k per week, £500k bonus for winning the title and £1m bonus for champions league qualification, on a 2 year deal with additional 1 year option.
That's potentially £2.5m per year of course only payable if he manages to net the club £20m by qualifying for Champions league.
If he can't renegotiate severance package and is not willing to except DD will not hang around and will offer job to Moyes or Lenny. Lambert, McKay and Keane will NOT be offered job as DD knows he needs to get 1/ 3 mentioned to appease the fans and to get the season tickets sold, Rodgers is not a done deal he is the preferred candidate though.

Psychic Sid

1.) 19 May 2016 08:44:51
God I see why u call urself psychic sid! No offence bud but how on earth can u possibly know any of that? And they'll try for Lenny if Rodgers says no because that will sell season tickets! I don't think u could be further from the truth mate! IMO Lennon will in no way get the fans excited and make them run out and buy season tickets! I've nothing against Lennon at all, in fact I think he did a good job 1st time round! But after the past 2 seasons and what we've had to watch I think DD must pull something bigger out the bag! Rodgers has been mentioned for the past few days now and he's fancied heavily, and it's something the majority of fans would be genuinely excited about! If it turns out to be Lennon McKay ect then it will be a kick in the teeth for the fans! Talk about anti climax! It would put me and the fans I know in a right downer going into a new season!


2.) 19 May 2016 09:41:30
No offence mate, but why do people seem to think that bringing back Neil Lennon with please fans? He's an average manager at best, who like Deila I feel struggled to take us forward in the absence of Sevco. Other than the one respectable European campaign, the rest were a shambles. Surely Dermont must know the reaction taking a step back and hiring Neil Lennon would get from us, the fan. I know Brendan Rodgers wouldn't be the first name on people lips, but now I think it has to be him. It personally think it would send out one of the biggest statements since the MON era.


3.) 19 May 2016 09:43:27
I'm reading between the lines, with regards to the package that will attract Rodgers. As for Lennon I think he's 3rd choice of the 3, Moyes being 2nd choice. If Rodgers is not signed and it's down to him not wanting to lose his mega bucks from Liverpool it will make him look like he is more interested in a pay off than the job so DD won't look bad. If that happens and I don't think it will he will go for Moyes followed by Lennon as despite Lennys critics I know of many Hoops fans who would welcome back a man who can bring back the Thunder IMO.
It may be an anti climax getting Lennon when there's a strong possibility of getting Rodgers but there's still Moyes before him and hopefully Rodgers is unveiled anyway but you have to have a Plan B or C.


4.) 19 May 2016 10:35:35
I don't understand this whole gardening leave/ compensation thing when someone is sacked. If you have a contract worth whatever amount and get fired then surely you are owed that amount. I've heard it said that if the person takes another job then he stops being paid by the initial club (that terminated his contract) - everything seems stacked in the clubs favour. Bottom line is if I was a successful manager I wouldn't even consider agreeing to that because it's simply obvious that if you're sacked you want to work again. Put it this way, - Rodgers was on around 100k per week, he had that in writing. He specifically said he was going to take a few months off then get back to work this summer (around now) there's also reports that he was offered £7 million out of £10 million, but said no. The same story though is implying that if he takes a new job he gets no money (£7 or £10 million) if that is accurate - why not take the £7 million so he can do what he wants by taking another job, that way he'll have the money from Liverpool and say it was Swansea or Celtic. It also means he can get on with building his career/ profile again instead of having to sit unemployed for two and a half years. There's also a separate report I read saying Roberto Martinez is owed a fortune in wages (3 years) and because he got sacked he will get paid all that in one sum/ regardless of what he does in the future!

{Ed001's Note - in most businesses, when you are fired for ineptitude, like Rodgers was from Liverpool, then you do not get your entire contract paid up to you. I fail to see how you can suggest that it is weighted in the club's favour? A multimillionaire failure getting a huge pay off he doesn't need after nearly destroying a club seems very much weighted in the favour of the buffoon who gets any kind of pay off if you ask me. I can't believe Celtic want the useless get, but there you go.}


5.) 19 May 2016 10:57:02
Not everyone at zCeltic want Rodgers, I find it unbelievable we are thinking of appointing a manager who was a failure such a short time ago, surely we should be going for someone who's star is on the rise.


6.) 19 May 2016 10:59:22
Ed001 would you be kind enough just to give me a few examples of why he's so bad? Noticed both yourself and Ed002 are on the same sort of page. I'm not challenging you by the way, just asking as I don't follow Liverpool close enough, until Klopp took over anyway.

{Ed001's Note - style of play, pass, pass, pass, always sideways or backwards, obsessed with possession, no incision. Poor training regimes, meaning players are totally unfit which meant we struggled towards the end of games and gave up a lot of late goals. Moronic comments to the press which left me wanting to punch the TV screen whenever he was talking. Had no idea how to man manage, to the point that players were all desperate to leave. Oh and, despite the lies in the media about his youth development skills, he was obsessed with building a huge squad to ensure he never had to play any youngsters. Instead he preferred average players to be bought.

That is even if you ignore his personal attitude, refusing to watch youth teams as he was too busy on the sunbed or having affairs or teeth whitening and straightening sessions.}


7.) 19 May 2016 11:00:36
The reason some "fans" would be excited about Lennon has nothing to do with football and we all know it.


8.) 19 May 2016 11:02:19
I understand your point Ed about business and ineptitude - how do you prove/ define that in football though? You can't say someone is culpable because they picked a certain team/ played a 343. If you are fired for gross negligence or whatever I get that, the bit I don't get is offering him part of what he's owed and paying it weekly, and also it stopping if he takes another job. And also like I said -? what is different about Martinez' case. I'm talking about all this from a purely legal standpoint. I've never understood this gardening leave - it's the club saying - we sacked you, we'll pay your wage, but only until you get a new job! I don't see how that would stand up in a European court. You're either sacked or not, either owed your contract fee or not.

{Ed001's Note - if you are sacked, having failed to get anywhere near the targets set for you, then why do you deserve a huge pay off? The man is a blert and yet he has got paid millions for failing. Fair play to him.}


9.) 19 May 2016 11:03:41
Ed001 I think it was you who said a while back why you wouldn't want BR if you were a Celtic fan. Is that correct?

{Ed001's Note - I would be gutted if it was my team.}


10.) 19 May 2016 11:04:21
Why do you think Rodgers is useless ed? Curious as my opinion on him is just what iv seen and read and he seems like a good candidate. Who would be your top 3 to replace RD?

{Ed001's Note - if it was me I would be looking at someone like Favre, or possibly Paul Clement? See above for the Rodgers stuff. That was me being nice about him by the way!}


11.) 19 May 2016 11:44:17
Didn't even think about clement, he's very highly rated. Haha yeah so not a fan. Half my family are scouse and they couldn't wait to get rid, I'd thought his work at Swansea was good though, well if he does get the job, a huge part of it should be to establish a clear route for youth to get in the 1st team. That should a priority for any incoming gaffer!

{Ed001's Note - he wasn't the manager at Swansea, he was following a plan laid out by the club. It was when he is allowed to use his own ideas and think for himself that he flops.}


12.) 19 May 2016 11:57:04
Just want to know ED if Rodgers had got Liverpool over the line and won the league would u still be of the same opinion? I know he obviously didn't but what if? You'll know a lot more than me about what went on with him at Liverpool mate but I feel he did a great job at Swansea and started off really well with Liverpool. i think he would be a great appointment if we could pull it off but I have serious doubts about it actually happening! Still think there's to many hurdles to overcome like wages, his budget and the quality of the SPL. hope I'm wrong but!

{Ed001's Note - what he did after that season was tear the club apart, so it would have been a big thank you to Suarez and Sturridge for winning the title and good bye Brendan.}


13.) 19 May 2016 12:23:42
Did Rodgers not do a good job at Swansea, bringing them to the EPL and then establishing them as a top flight club?

I thought in the season when Liverpool were 2nd in the league he seemed to do well and probably would've won it had it not been for big Stevie G. then he would've been a legend? Although a lot of people say this was solely due to Suarez, if you put Suarez in the Celtic team we wouldn't finish 2nd in the EPL.

Again i'm not disagreeing/ arguing with Ed001, but just wondered if you hated him during that season?

{Ed001's Note - the league was not lost by Gerrard's slip, it was lost because of his insistence on using a charlatan as a sports pyschologist which saw the team bottle it at the end when the pressure hit.}


14.) 19 May 2016 13:08:00
Appreciate that Ed. He strimes me as a bell, but I could look past that. He was always popping up in quotes of the week etc. I remember the one about him jogging past peoples houses and enjoying smelling the mince cooking lol. Or something like that anyway. The refusing to watch youths and poor man management are insightful cheers, two things our next gaffer will definitely need to be able to/ want to do really.

{Ed001's Note - the laziness in scouting and watching the youths was the worst things for me. He did a half arsed job, and it showed in the way our performances dropped gradually under his management. It is a shame because he is a nice enough guy and a Liverpool fan, but he believed his own hype and thought he was a great manager.}


15.) 19 May 2016 13:22:18
Yeah the league was lost after the crystal palace result.
Did you ever like him at Liverpool Ed or was it a gradual thing? Like the others said, I thought he got the job after his work with Swansea?

{Ed001's Note - I never thought he deserved the job, but gave him time to prove himself. He did prove himself. Proved himself to be more interested in himself and didn't treat the job with the respect it deserved.}


16.) 19 May 2016 13:27:51
I'd love to come on here and talk about all the top class managers we should be going for but if we're all honest, what top class manager is going to leave the job he is in to come to us? Some people on here think just because a manager got sacked from his last job that means he's a dud. Managers are like players, some just don't work out for what ever reason. I'm a Celtic man and I'll back any guy that gets the job, be it BR, NL or even MM. I might not like them but they're not bigger than my club. Obviously is like the new guy to be a big name but as we all know that doesn't guarantee success. We took a chance on RD and it didn't work out. Let's give the next guy the same benefit of the doubt we have him. HH.


17.) 19 May 2016 17:11:57
Hat same sport psych has been used successfully by a lot of sports team ps and individuals. I wouldn't say they bottled the league because of him. In actual fact his methods probably helped propel them to that level in the first place.

{Ed001's Note - I know exactly who he is and his methods, they are bull and they never helped Liverpool at all. They never had any pressure on them until the end of the season and then they folded. So his methods showed how nonsense they are. Fish oil salesman is all he is. You might not say it, but you know nothing about the situation so your mutterings are irrelevant.}


18.) 19 May 2016 18:08:25

19.) 19 May 2016 21:06:41

20.) 19 May 2016 22:02:25
Cheers Island Celt, just thought it was something that had to be said, think some people on here are getting delusions that were a Barcelona or Real. We cannae attract the guy that mediocre English teams can attract. I personally think a guy like Rodgers could be good for us but if I'm honest, 16 year ago I thought MON would've been a flop so what do I know lol.


21.) 19 May 2016 23:06:34
I am quite happy for us to appoint a manager who as learned his trade at Chelsea Reading Swansea and Liverpool . Surely a reasonable training programme for Celtic Football Club.

I know there's no new manager in place and hopefully he will be the man to make the signings. I just think it would be good business to buy Cummings from Hibs then loan him back initially for 6 months possibly the full season.
It gives Hibs the extra finances they need and the opportunity to keep the player while the Hoops have a good striker secured for the future while allowing him to continue his development guaranteeing him some game time with the opportunity to recall him if required half way through the season.

2.) 20 May 2016 11:44:32
There are a couple players I think would make our squad better in Scotland but none of them play in the championship
No one at that level will improve our squad


3.) 20 May 2016 11:47:52
He'd be a good back-up to LG domestically for sure, especially ahead of CKR and Cole but I think we need to set our sights higher and really assert our dominance.


4.) 20 May 2016 12:19:36
No he's not.
He's championship level and we are the champions of the top league.
It has already been proved with Allan now people want us to buy more players fae that level??


5.) 20 May 2016 13:35:53
Yes he is, he's younger and better than both of them.


6.) 20 May 2016 14:13:13
I would have thought Celtic have already got the cream of Scottish youth players. Still can't understand the farming out of the likes of Henderson and the buying of Allan etc.

Moving on, does anyone think if BR gets the job will any of the young lads get a chance.
Think I read somewhere here that at Swansea it was part of his job description to do so. I doubt if the same ideology would be in place at Celtic as RB seems to be holding the aces and calling the shots.
What could be to our advantage is that DD is 1 hard a#sed business man like him or loath him.
Scenario scenario.


7.) 20 May 2016 14:45:50
TTTS I don't think there's a manger in the game who wouldn't like to promote youth. The question is whether BR or whoever comes in thinks that the young lads are good enough. We've got a fairly young team in general with only Gordon, Brown and Lustig starting regularly at 30 or over.


8.) 20 May 2016 15:55:50
He's a championship player who's club beat Aberdeen 3-0 days after the beat us with 10 men, Dundee Utd 3-0 and on penalties, Hearts 2-1 and a draw at Tynecastle, Inverness away, StJohnstone 2-1 and Rangers twice. He's defo better than Carlton Cole, Kazim Richards, Callum McGregor, Nadir Cifti and would be a good impact player from the bench for £1m tops.
Sure we should be looking for a better standard to play alongside LG but as our 3rd or 4th choice he would do well. He would probably improve playing with better players.
I assume you think Henderson is not good enough to get in Celtic squad either? He's better than half of the pre madonnas in midfield we have.


9.) 20 May 2016 17:07:26
I think as we are a club who don't have spare cash to throw around we should only buy the players we want . I am never convinced about loaning back or loaning out young players, I think the number of times we have benefitted from loaning out is few and far between . If we had loaned out K Tierney we would probably not have the wonderful exciting left back we now have .
Have a massive thinning down of our fully developed players who are not playing first team football regularly, players like Mullgrew Ambrose Commons Stokes etc and have youngsters training with first team squad, ready for a game if needed .


 

 

19 May 2016 16:50:48
Heard Davy Moyes is the preferred candidate for the Villa post by a cpl of their hierarchy. Apparently new owner will meet with these guys next week who have already had discussions with him (Moyes) and if the new owner agrees he will be made their new manager next week with transfer kitty of £30-40m
Hopefully it won't affect Celtic who are 1/ 9 (from 1/ 2 yesterday) to make Rodgers the new boss.

3.) 19 May 2016 19:00:40
I wouldn't want at Celtic any manager who would consider Aston Villa . Really I think the Villa job is about the worse job in the top 4 Divisions in England . That club looked very sick and very much out of touch with football this season.


4.) 19 May 2016 20:15:45
Just been took over old Bhoy.


5.) 19 May 2016 22:50:22
Taken over doesn't necessary equate to points at the end of matches . Their fans will be even more demanding.

Yeah wouldn't surprise me at all, the only reason he actually signed for Celtic was because they went into admin after agreeing deal with Derby before it fell through. Stubbs wants him at Rotterham though.

Think we need to pay a small fee as he has 1 year left on contract as far as I know, hopefully both parties agreed to cancel the final year by mutual termination but I'd guess it's more likely he's been paid off as he was prob getting at least £10k per week and won't be able to get that elsewhere and certainly not in poverty stricken Brazilian league.

The Sports direct website story is a pile of pish 2bh. They had the same homepage last Friday promoting the new Hoops top, it was also at front of the store in both the Bishopbriggs retail park on Friday and the Forge retail park on Saturday. (I had to buy socks for wee mans school trip lol
Who knows maybe following their relegation on Wed night Sports Direct knew what was going to happen hence promoting Celtic top on homepage of their site and at the entrance in their stores.
But it certainly wasn't a reaction to them cancelling deal yesterday.

If Hibs win their 1st Scottish cup in over 100 years that would be a massive story and would dilute the coverage on SLY Sports et al on the new Celtic manager announcement. Either announce it on the Friday to steal the headlines before the match or on the Sunday especially if they win it to steal the Limelight.
