If they don't hurry up the way the managerial merry-go-round is spinning, they will be left with just Lennon.
Personally I would have liked Rogers, AVB or Hiddink, but Roy Keane could be the right man at the right time for both parties as we need discipline, drive and direction.

Keane would be great for about 4 months and then everything would fall apart as he falls out with everyone at the club.

Said earlier that the more I think about it and listening to what lawell was sayin the more I'm convinced that Lennon will be back! Talk of moyes and Rodgers is never going to happen IMO.

Why does everyone torture themselves (and everyone else who listens to the unsubstantiated rumours) by guessing who will be the new manager? Please have the patience to wait and see what will be revealed. Who knows, it may be saviour or a dud, only time will tell. And no matter what his past record may be, remember Napoleon said, "Don't give me clever generals, give me lucky ones! "

If we did that the eds would be out of a job. Why come into a rumours site and basically tell people not to post rumours lol.

Keane ? absolutely not, as an assistant maybe, but not head coach. Usual suspects i see, what about Martinez ? Hope more than expect someone surprising, but expect it to be Lenny, or Mr Baxter :-)

Really can't see it being Lennon. I really hope not too.

I didn't fancy Rodgers at first but must admit I'm warming to that a bit.

I bet however it will be none of the main contenders but we shall see.

My gut feeling since the start of this has been that we'll see NL again.

I hope to God your wrong jimtim. I would like to see a manager come in that can take us to the next level. Someone with a proven European record someone who will excite the fans and have cultic playing the fast flowing one touch football we can play and should be playing.

The thing about Lennon is that he was a young inexperienced manager, the first time round, he is older and more experienced now, and maybe wiser, he might surprise a few people the way he manages a team now, on the other hand he might not have changed at all, but he might be worth taking a chance on.

Agree0 Disagree6

I'm not going to get into his personal behaviour/ problems, but Lennon's stock is at an all time low in management terms. It's lower than it was when he was a novice.

He thought he'd walk into an EPL job, and didn't. He started whoring himself for any job in England, and was getting rejected by teams like Huddersfield. He finally took a job at Bolton, a basket case of a club to be fair, but failed spectacularly.

What is it people think he learnt there? What did he learn from that failure that will improve us?

Tbh the fact he even chose to go there (same with Lambert at Blackburn) already has me questioning his decision making.

He was a decent manager for us, who got lucky across a period of time - and thought that luck was more than it ultimately was. He thought he could go on to bigger and better things (which I have no problem with) but came up short.

I have zero issue with ambition, or with wanting a new challenge. I do have a problem with someone failing elsewhere and returning, tail between his legs, as a new saviour. No thanks.

More than this, more than ANY of this, he's not a good enough manager to take us forward- and if he wasn't a former celt, he'd be laughed out of town as a potential candidate.

Is hard to judge though, look at the great job Strachan did at Middlesborough.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2016 12:14:19
He wasn't hired based on that though, that came after. Besides, I don't think he's the way forward either.

Agree0 Disagree2

I don't know why we are even thinking Lennon will have a chance of getting the job, One of the ed's posted that there is NO chance of him returning after the carry on the last time.
PL states that the board decides and ed mentioned there are 2 members of the board that will not consider Lennon.

I have a feeling that they will get it right this time and bring in a manager that we can all get behind, wil the dark side back in the spl they cannot take chances.

We need a proven European manager someone who commands respect and who the players can look upto and buy into his style of Football.

Agree0 Disagree0

TPP, the point I was ytryimg to makkewas that Strachan left Celtic, went down to Middlesborough, messed up, but look how well is standing went up at the Scotland job, although I'm my opinion he has never been much of a manaager.

I wouldn't want Neil Lennon back as manager, I think that it would end up being a circus all over again.
I don't understand the argument though that says he was lucky when he was the manager here. I think the opposite was actually the case, he had a pretty good team in 2012/ 13, it wasn't his fault that the board decided to sell the likes of Wanyama, Hooper, Lesley, and Wilson, within the space of a year, that seems unlucky to me.
I think if Lennon finds himself a stable club where he can manage the team without a lot of nonsense behind the scenes, then he will do a decent job for somebody.

Aindoh-

I got what point you were making but what I'm saying is it's neither here nor there because the example you are using wasn't before he was Celtic Manager - so he wasn't hired inspite of it -and I don't want him post it. So it's a bum example. It would be more apt to use TM given that he hadn't done so well in his last season with WBA before we hired him, but even then, I'd say it was slightly different given his success there previously.

That's the difference here.

Take the Celtic connection out of the equation and look at NL rationally. Has he done anything of merit to get the job? What has changed since he left - other than his own managerial standing.

We aren't talking about a Moyes or a Rodgers here: both of whom were successful in the EPL before a fall from grace. We aren't even talking about a Mackay or Lambert: both of whom were successful in the Championship before a fall from grace.

We're talking about someone who's only real managerial success was at us two years ago, and even then that success isn't that impressive given the circumstances.

Gerry-

I think he was lucky because his time (and consequent success) coincided with Rangers' demise.
