Personally I don't think NL is getting the job, I think if that's who they wanted they would have given him a contract at the time.
I think it is purely on the basis he gets it till the end of the season.

I am not to sure about that to be honest.
Was thinking the same until my old man said to me "Why would they announce early and takeaway there room to manoeuvre? If they did and he loses the cup final then the backlash would be massive. "

When it comes to making/ saving money do you think the board care about a backlash?
Especially just now with a 10000 strong waiting list!

Don't think the board have done to bad with manager appointments other than Mowbray and deila the rest have been of a good standard.

Did Ronnie not come within a whisker of a first season treble, revise the behind the scenes fitness and win 2 titles?
Bit harsh on Ronnie for me.

Who will ever forget the Ronnie Roar? lol HH.

there was something about ronnie i like. granted he was not a first team manager, but i behind the scenes i think he would be an asset for any club. and as time goes by, who knows what he could produce. but i think we should thank him, rather than have a go.
thanks ronnie for contributing to 10iar. hail hail.

Ronnie was cheated out of a treble n his first season,
Ronnie was too much a gentleman to keep telling everyone that he was a superb manager& Scotland were very lucky to have a man of his ability managing in Scotland.

It's the poor investment that cost us. This board get credit but many conveniently forget that from strachans last season we had lost 3 in a row to them. Potentially 4 if they didn't have points deducted and troubles off the park.

The board had lost the grip on domestic dominance due to downsizing.

They get away with it now as there is zero competition.

Agree0 Disagree0

Roy you think backlash wouldn't effect money like?
Season ticket sales and merchandise sales were all down before Rodgers came in.
Saying Ronny was a bad boss is wrong and a bit out of order.
In his 1st seaon he won a double, was robbed of the treble and qualified for European football after xmas.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2019 06:53:44
I never said at any point Ronny was a bad boss, intact I didn't mention his name until just now. So why are you saying I did Kev?

Rafa Benitez next manager for Celtic will be Leaked on build up to cup final trying to put Celtic off their stride for the triple triple.

Explain what u mean by this?

19 Apr 2019 17:16:17
Don't know how the players or other fans would feel about it but i for one would be buzzing if that was leaked at any point before the final.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 17:33:29
By the sounds of it; it means a pure and simple distraction tactic?
I've no doubt the experience and confidence we have amassed for the 'big occasion' and the opportunity to make history will prevail.

He's had success in europe cups granted . but I can't recall ever thinking his team's play great football . Is he by his sell by date past glories behind him? I just don't know if hez the answer . he also makes the rev i m jolly look happy .

I just fed everyone and their granny are not wanting us to do the treble treble and will say anything to try and stop us so I see something like this to done before the cup to try and stop us. Just look at what they did when Strachan was taking over from Martin it was all over the papers just before helicopter Sunday.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 19:04:28
Surely these rumours are attempts by main stream Scottish media to distract as many Celtic people as possible whilst trophies have still to be won .
I don't think P L would want NL to be aware of a new manager appointed for next season whilst we still have cup to win .
Only if Lennon is getting job can that rumour be right.

My concern about Lenny is, he doesn’t or ever has got in with our board especially Lawwell, that’s why he left the last time. Similar fall out at Hibernian too! The only reason he’s here because we were abandoned by Rodgers and Lenny was available but better again on the cheap. I personally haven’t seen anything he’s done differently to offer him the permanent position, I believe the players are united to do it themselves. I’d go with Brown player manager. Anyone remember those days lol “Roy of the rovers” stuff.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - There's people above Lawwell that are against appointing Neil Lennon and it wouldn't surprise me if Lawwell's bean counter head is driving NL's appointment.}

19 Apr 2019 21:30:20
Ed, any inkling of who those above Lawwell might fancy instead?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I honestly don't know but as I've said all along, I would love to see a list of the applicants and those that have made it known they'd be interested. I think we would be shocked and some of the names would give Pedro nightmares.}

19 Apr 2019 21:41:14
I don't know how true it is but i heard he left the last time due to a big falling out with certain board members that turned a bit nasty.
Also heard then that he would never be welcome back and I was really surprised when he came in.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 23:24:11
@jonbhoy that’s the post comment I already sent above 👆🏻, I all in anyways the treble treble is for us to lose .

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2019 07:27:05
Where's the evidence he fell out with lawell, just the other day he was waxing lyrical about Pedro and Dermot, and if there had been a falling out why would Pedro go back for him, and av yet to read about it in the rags who would have been all over it if true.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2019 21:37:39
The Board will spend the money necessary and its up to the Manager to make a proper case for the players he wants . If Manager over a period of time demands and gets players who come in do a very good job, then he will find it easier getting the players he wants . Rodgers bought so much rubbish Jan 2018, he could hardly expect the Board to spend freely summer 2018, at the same time the Board broke their club record buying Eduoardo.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 13:56:36
Do you guys think a manager will be appointed before the end of the season. or will Celtic wait till its finished.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Apr 2019 14:20:03
When we win the league I think they will announce Lennon aa new manager.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 14:39:37
My personal guess is that Lenny will be officially confirmed a couple days before the cup final.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 14:43:50
Hopefully the Monday after the Scottish Cup final.

Can't see them announcing lenny before final. Imagine the back lash if he lost it?

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 19:10:34
Positive thinking Kev .

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 19:54:51
After the final would be the best time to announce who the next permanent manager is. Naming lennon now would underwhelm most, announcing someone else would undermine lennon. He at least deserves that respect.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Apr 2019 09:42:32
May not be positive OAB. But it's true. Some fans would want to lynch the lot of them if it went down that way.

Not Celtic related and I can't seem to find it on Google but did raheem sterling play on loan at hearts? This can settle an ongoing work discussion.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - No mate but he did get his first start for Liverpool against them in a EL qualifier back in 2012. He was at QPR as a kid and that's where Liverpool signed him from, he's never been out on loan to anyone.}

19 Apr 2019 13:00:22
Cheers ed, maybe because he played against them that's where it's coming from. Also maybe got him mixed up with someone else on loan to hearts from liverpool.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - There's been a few loans between them over the years but back about then it might be Michael Ngoo....

19 Apr 2019 12:02:46
With city going out the cl are we the only club to have done a quadruple.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Nah, Barca have done it three times, Real Madrid twice Porto once and Al Ahly (the most successful club in the world) have done it once or twice.}

19 Apr 2019 14:20:22
Mally,

Celtic’s quad is unique because we are the only European club to have won the our domestic league and domestic cups the Scottish league cup and the Scottish cup and of course the European cup.

Porto have come the closest to our quad but theirs included the uefa cup not the European cup. As for Barcelona and Madrid they both have won quads but they didn’t include all their domestic competitions theirs was a mixture of the super cup or fifa world club cup.

So Celtics is unique and obviously the best lol.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 15:12:38
Here's me thinking oldco were the most successful club 🤣🤣 cheers ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 17:35:59
Don't forget The Glasgow Cup as well - we won every tournament we entered 66/ 67 and won 5 trophies - never to be equaled or beaten.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2019 10:51:21
You just know these idiots at the sfa ate going to ban broony for that trumped up charge let's hope Pedro and the board take it the whole road as we all it's a nonsense. charged for being assaulted and celebrating only in Scotland.

His legal representation will sort the Cabal out. The unseen Fenian hand!
