Hail hail brothers! Life been hectic so not been on in wee 2 years! Thought I'd check in to see what's known/ been put about. So to summarise, we're all scoobied, the tens Donald Ducked and next manager could be anyone from David Fernandez thru to MC Hammer. Hope all are as well as can be expected and that Santa has a miracle ready for us. How has this happened?!

As a club legend once said
“Cups are not won by individuals, but by men in a team who put their club before personal prestige. ”
Jock Stein before Lisbon 67

At present there are too many individuals putting themselves first.

Would be great if it could be put down to just that. Not been on for a while and maybe this has been discussed d but I think we miss fans hugely and at same time sevco play better without. Again much more than that to it too. Where to begin? But aye, a lot of players fit your post. Will defend RC against that. He was magic from get go at ICT and we unfortunately took years to realise! Can’t blame him for wanting move even before all this.

Fifer, id say that was the case with the whole club, all prima donnas, right from the top down. What i can't understand is why does he keep playing players who don't want to be at celtic? I wouldn't even let them train with first team squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 10:14:53
There is a way to do it. What Boyata did to try and force a move was shocking. However when he came to terms with the fact that he was staying he was a big player for us in his final season. Ajer Eddy Christie and Ntcham will all leave, either in jan or next summer. Whether they go to, in Ajer and Eddy's case, an ac milan/ arsenal or to a Burnley or Crystal Palace is entirely up to them. It's in their interest to raise their levels.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 20:52:39
Not even the Ateam could get the board out of the situation they are in if NL stays and we drop more points.
Its a complete mess.
Half a team of loans and players wanting away and the others so far off form no games is a cert.
Gross mismanagement of the highest order.
DD has to reshape the organisation into a modern day highly efficient football club.
Unpopular it might be but if 10iar is lost to get it then so be it.
Not just a new manager is needed. but a new coaching team and recruitment team also.
Along with a new ceo.
The time for change is here and now.
Drop anymore points under NL and last nights protest will be the tip of the iceberg.

Ed I've heard lennon offered his resignation and it has turned it down, you hearing anything?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Yeah Kev I've heard that, I've also heard Lawwell offered a mutual consent number with his 1-year rolling contract + the remainder of this seasons salary paid up. Add on to that we're speaking to someone and we need to wait on their decision before announcing Lennon's departure.....
I don't know whit's going on 😂😂😂
Oh I almost forgot, there's plenty of interest in taking over in the summer but a lot of potential candidates aren't keen on taking on the 10IAR pressure.}

You got to give it to the guy that does mind, kudos if not the long term job as that takes a certain confidence.

ED007 rumour I heard board wanted Lennon to go but Lawwell vetoed it, board now have meeting with Lennon 9.am wednesday where he will be asked to resign or be sacked with contract fully paid. Kennedy taking over for Milan game.
O'Neill and Keane in from Saturday until end of season and then Jack Ross from NEXT SEASON.
Also heard Lennon and Kennedy are not talking crazy goings on.

{Ed007's Note - I heard that Lennon was heard screaming at Lawwell today "I turned down I'm a celebrity with big Liz McDonald fae Corrie for this pish ya heated drivewayed w@nker. You're $hiteing it to sack me just because it'll cost too much to do the Christmas Advert voiceover again!"}

{Ed007's Note - I absolutely love Roy Keane and always have but I don't want him as Celtic manager mate, as MON's assistant yeah probably but not as the main man.
In saying that, he took over a team 2nd bottom of the English Championship and won the title and promotion to the Pub League so he's obviously a better option than that guy I suggested that has won 3 Dutch league titles eh but failed at Derby eh?}

Further to my earlier post regarding Jack Ross I’ve just spoke to my brother who tells me it’s a load of tosh, he’s been speaking to an assistant manager in the spfl who is married to my niece and is a close friend of Ross, it will be someone else tomorrow and so on maybe Santa will bring us someone.

I have got it from a very good source, the poison is coming from Kennedy who has been undermining Lennon. Apparently he was responsible for the Duffy signing. This was something that Lennon didn't want.
He wanted Tommy Johnston to join his coaching staff but Kennedy allegedly went to Lawell and said that Strachan would be the better choice. Again not Lennon's choice.
I really hope that it comes out why Brown has been wearing a plaster / bandage on his arm recently?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - This very good source? We're all on Twitter mate.... 😉

source

And here's what Lennon said about Gavin Strachan when he was appointed...

"We are delighted to bring Gavin to Celtic, he is a brilliant appointment for us and someone I know will work really well with myself, John Kennedy, the players and the rest of our backroom team. We had a number of options for the role but Gavin was the outstanding candidate. He is a really talented, experienced, hard working and respected coach and I know he has the right qualities to make a great contribution to the Club. We are all really pleased to welcome Gavin to our team"

Apparently there were no Under 15 coaches available from the League of Ireland ready to revolutionise the Club's coaching to replicate Strachan's predecessor.}

30 Nov 2020 20:28:58
I think NL should have been allowed to bring in his own guy's ed007 don't you?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Like his old drinking buddy Garry Parker? No he should't have been allowed to because it's just jobs for his mates until the party gets broke up al a Alan Thompson and Lennon throwing his mate under the bus to save himself any further embarrassment.
A Director of Football should be appointing the coaching staff.}

30 Nov 2020 20:50:44
Only in backwaters like Scotland do fans shout about managers bringing in their own coaches. In Europe it is more common for the club to hire the coaches.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - All that's missing from the leak is that Lennon had spoke to Henrik about coming back and Pedro spiked it lol.}

If we could sort out the back 4 it would go along way to sorting our probs we don't have a decent cb at the club and we need to get the cheque book out in Jan. if ajer wants out let him go he can't defend and us not ad good as he thinks he is bitton never a defender Duffy been hopeless julien is ok so pair someone with him and young Welsh should get more game time after watching that lot.

Celtic have approached David Platt to see if he'd be interested in becoming manager until the end of the season.

If we get a new manager, I hope he can play backie-in as from what I've seen of Bain and Barkas these past months doesn't impress me.
I appreciate the defense in front of them has been atrocious as well but rarely have either of them impressed as a last line like FF.

30 Nov 2020 22:41:48
Agreed, two of them have been woeful. Whatever happens a new keeper is needed IMO. Still waiting for Barkas to make a save.

Troubling times for us its not something we have been used to lately.
From a purely football and tactical point of view we have played 352 and 4231, and we constantly switch between these 2.
However what we have never tried is 433, why not?
Take the last 10 games for eg before a ball was kicked we had some very hard games, some hard games and some not so hard.
Yet to my eyes we have played the same way in all of these games.
Yes system may switch but its still all out attack no matter what.
Considering we have had some hard games can anyone remember us being compact and hard to beat?
Nope.
Have we ever dropped off and let the teams come onto us and try to hit on the break?
Nope.
When you consider we have a manager who (self confessed) is a man manager and a motivater have you seen the players highly motivated?
Nope.
When you consider we have an Ass. Manager who is touted to be a great coach have you seen any tactical plans to beat the opposition?
Nope.
All of the above tells me the Mgt Team are nowhere near what we require and need to be removed.
Nothing personal guys your just not up to the job.

We don't have a winger.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 20:04:46
Raymundo I don't think we have right players for 4-3-3, but your right in thinking we do need a different shape.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I think our problems are running deeper than the formation now, Phil. It's down to the players' attitude and their willingness to their job as professional as is required. For me there is never any excuse for not giving 100% on the field and that's what it looks like.
People probably expected me to come out all guns blazing and crucifying Lennon big time but I'm not putting all the blame on him, those players playing to the best of their ability are still the best players in Scotland - as our recent trophy haul shows - and with no disrespect to Ross County we should be pumping them regardless of formation or tactics.}

30 Nov 2020 20:41:12
Ed its not so much they formation as i pointed out its the lack of organisation regardless of that. We always go chasing the ball when we lose it in oppositions half. Where other teams fall back in position and make it difficult for u. How many times do we see 1 or 2 passes and the other team is thro on goal. that's organisation or lack of. I cudnt tell u when i seen us with a low block and prepared to hit on the break. Its just strange for me that we don't utilise it.
You don't need a winger for 433 the front 3 can be 2 strikers and christie for eg
Look at Scotland they played front 3 of Dykes MCginn christie. Would u call Mani Firmino Salah wingers lol.
The important thing is front 3 get behind the ball at half way line and dare the other team to make a mistake.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I've no idea how Scotland play but it must be riveting stuff with Lyndon Dykes taking the penalties.
I probably would call Mane and Salah wingers, yes. Didn't Klopp call Mane Liverpool's best ever left winger a couple of weeks ago and Salah is apparently is officially the world's most valuable right-winger.}

30 Nov 2020 18:50:38

Chinks67 not only the MSM now Sturgeon is putting her tuppence worth in. Week after week the police and other front line workers are assaulted and faced with all sorts of abuse and to my knowledge is never debated at Holyrood. It’s only a couple of weeks ago she was lavishing praise on sevco after slaughtering Celtic and Aberdeen for the same flaunting of the rules.

Read Celtics statement.

Everyone at the Club is hugely disappointed by this afternoon’s result, one which has ended our phenomenal run of 35 consecutive cup victories.

While we sincerely share the huge disappointment of all Celtic supporters, there can be no excuse for some of the violent scenes at Celtic Park this evening. The Club will be investigating these events fully.

For players and a management team, who have given so much in recent years and have delivered 11 consecutive trophies, to require an escort from Celtic Park while being targeted with missiles, is simply unacceptable.

While we understand that only a small number of people were involved in this behaviour, some of the actions this evening, which have obviously left our own players shaken, cannot be condoned in any way.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 20:06:22
Chinks, I was driving home, I didn't see the game but heard we got beat so had SSB on the radio.

Their coverage of what was happening was despicable.

According to them traffic and footfall supposedly worse or the same as what it would be on a match day. Mistake me if I am wrong but there is a big difference between 60000 and 300 fans.

Hugh Keevins the wee rat that he is dramatising every second of it, telling his colleagues to stay safe sounding all distressed and worried about poor wee Alison Conroy like she was cornered by 60000 fans when they were at the total opposite end of the stadium. Talking about threat to players wellbeing like the stadium was under seige. Referring to thousands of fans.

Last night was a a very small minority of our support. Like most I condemn their actions and embarrassment they have brought on the club but if I hadn't seen the pictures and videos I would have thought it was tens of thousands at CP last night. Gordon Duncan to be fair tried to reel him in but he was too far gone spewing his drivel.

MSM are having a field day with it. Sly sports news focused on the chopper constantly. Not one aerial photograph or distanced photograph to show the scale of number of people there.

In my opinion it been blown way out of proportion. Its probably also kept Lennon in a job for now as the club can't be seen to bowing to morons like this every time they're not happy with something.

It was moved after a request by one of the clubs.

I’ve just seen that.
I don’t know the reason why Celtic wanted the game switched.
Hibs originally refused the switch, so Celtic contacted the SPFL who changed the fixture without consulting Hibs.
It’s a strange decision by Celtic because it prevents us from playing a midweek game in hand sandwiched between 2 home games.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 19:44:44
The reason for the switch in the Hibs fixture has been revealed.
Celtic want to go to Dubai after our game at Ibrox for a short break.
As it stands they don’t need to quarantine when they return to Scotland.

Hypothetical question folks. If we lose the league there is no Champions League money (if we qualified) next season. With no Champions League money this season and not much Europa League money there is a major shortfall. This would normally mean selling players and with the current situation and the current form of the players i think the fees we expected for Eddie, Ajer, McGregor, Christie etc will be dramatically reduced. If a new gaffer is in place will he get any cash or are we going to downsize.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

30 Nov 2020 16:49:06
The one thing that has become clear to me throughout this season is this whole club from top to bottom needs a new direction and business model. I said a few weeks ago we should bring in a director of football to work alongside side lawell and leave him to do what he is good at and stay out of the football side of things . I think someone like Michael Emenalo would be good for us and try sell them a new project and let them bring in a young forward thinking head coach to work with .
Ed do you think a dof is likely to come in while lawell is there i can't see it myself .

I know people are crictical at the scenes from last night.
However we are allowed to protest and if that is the only way to circumvent change that has been the process of people for centuries.
So whilst no one should condone the throwing of missiles; this was the actions of the minority.
If the people in charge are not prepared to listen the numbers of disgrunteld fans their numbers will grow.
I await what happens on Thursday.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - If anything happens on Thursday will be a huge embarrassment, it's AC Milan we're playing for a start and considering it's in Milan there's no point turning up at Celtic Park.}

Protesting in masses during a national lockdown is embarrassing. Lennon has run his course but the treatment he has received is not only disrespectful, but highly degrading.

My kids are missing their gran just now due to lockdown through no fault of their own and your defending fans who have breached lockdown rules to congregate in their masses to hurl abuse at another human being? Jonace your out of order.

Agree7 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 15:56:02
I think the performances of the team in recent weeks have been disrespectful and degrading.
No body wants to see violence in any form but if the people at the club had done something to try and remedy this situation yesterday's scenes would never have happened.
For years the board at Celtic have arrogantly ignored the views of supporters and continually fobbed them off with second best.
Whilst not condoning what happened yesterday there was always going to be a point in time when the patience of some fans snapped.
The club need to try and engage more with fans, after all who was it that said "football is nothing without them".

First time poster, but longtime reader. Am as frustrated as all Celts by the recent results, but am even more disgusted by the treatment last night of a modern day Celtic Great Neil Lennon. Not since Billy McNeill and the Lisbon Lions has one man given so much for our cause as Neil, including being attacked and having his life threatened on numerous occasions. Unfortunately I expect that from the other side, but never thought I would be alive to witness last night's behaviour against our own. It says more about the man that despite everything he turns up today to take training, with the dignity and class that I would expect from a true Celt. Things have obviously now gone too far, so we should pay up his contract and let him leave on his terms with the respect that he deserves. It is the least that we owe a man who has always been there in our hour of need.

Thanks Ed.

Was trying to think what the new manager's job description might look like:
- must have played/ managed at the top level of European football.

- must have managed/ played successfully at the top level of domestic football.

- detailed knowledge of scottish football.

- previous knowledge/ experience of Celtic FC an advantage.

Know anyone who might fit the bill?

I've been vocal recently about the poor decisions from the management/ coaching team. Some have been really bizarre. I've also moaned about our constant downsizing. Selling decent players replacing them with very average. We've went from entitled champions league mentality to praying each summer we make the Europa League. This has come from boardroom and lawells mentality. They are not willing to gamble spend to accumulate and at the same time club progression. Early door under Rodgers I seen us as a club wanting to set standards similar to some of the Dutch and Portuguese teams this has since faded.

Frankly, last night was a disgrace a tarnish on our supporters reputation and as a club. I understand if we did sonically distanced peaceful protest to allow the club to hear the fans voice but it was a mess and has embarrassed us.

Id love to see lennon pull this back and walk away in May with 10 in a row, not many more "celtic" minded people in football deserve it. But I think if he hadn't been aware of the hysteria him and his players were causing until last night then he needs to go unfortunately. We need a fresh professional high standards of coaching staff with experience. We need a mindset and mentality brought amongst players and club. What was brown doing as a captain to increase moral amongst players during a C.V. (if nothing then he passes that role over) . This is the time for true leaders to come to the front of celtic. If lennon stays then an overhaul of coaching, training set ups and players (in January) are needed.

But this should be a straight forward decision. Football is a results driven business and obviously the results simply have not been good enough. The football since the start of the season has not been good enough. Why oh why do Celtic drag these things out.

I would not be the least bit surprised if Lennon stays.

Yes the fans were at the ground last night.

But no fans in the stadium buys them more time. The chants and the pressure of fan power is not there game on game.

Strap in I think this has a bit to play out yet.

Maybe if Lennon played proper cbs at cb and proper rbs at rb we might not concede as many goals oh and a wide man that beat a player and throw in a quality ball for strikers to attack. and the club instead of buying 2 and 3 mill on average players spent the combined amount on a decent player . how much money have we wasted it's a joke.

Mallythetally club is trying to model itself with setup in place at clubs in EPL, La Liga and Serie A by having a dof etc. Problem is we don't have the income these clubs have and should be giving any manager a transfer budget and putting faith in their judgement.

What I'm concerned about is if we get a new manager in place, will same problems occur? Cause I think they will unless Lawwell steps down.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's not only clubs in those leagues that have DOFs and it's nothing to do with money either - wasn't it Cluj's DOF Bogdan Mara that said we tried to sign Omrani - it's about setting up your club with a long term plan and vision of continuity that won't fall apart every time there's a change of coach.
Peter Lawwell has earned £15 million in his time as CEO (circa £10m in the last 5 years) so to say there's no money to pay a DOF is wrong, Lawwell simply doesn't want to lose his control of transfers.}

30 Nov 2020 13:58:13
If a dof is what s needed then a club our size should have one. hammond would appear to be in charge of recruitment but what did he see in klimala and ajeti who could hardly get on west hams bench but ignores dykes for a paltry 2 mill. surely his position should be reviewed as our signings look very poor.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Maybe Lawwell didn't think Dykes was worth £2 million and considering he's a donkey and 4 of his 5 goals for QPR have been penalties I'd say Lawwell called it spot on if that's what happened.
We simply don't get enough penalties to warrant spending £2 million on someone to take them.}

30 Nov 2020 14:04:56
I can see where DD is coming from; however, it deflects from the total shambles that Celtic Football Club has become - and will continue to be, by retaining the status quo and ignoring a crisis.
NL must know deep down that the players have failed him time and time again, despite having heard umpteen team talks, instructions and pre-match motivation. On top of that, there are those inside the dressing room wanting him gone. Now the support are turning on him - never mind the media scrutiny and scoffing - while the months pass us by.
He would gain much more respect and gratitude if he walked away and made the decision for them, but his stubbornness fuels the flames.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 14:11:42
Ed007 I never knew that about cluj and from what you have said, it sounds to me that regarding transfers Lawwell is trying to do the dof role as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Most teams on the continent have a DOF or a Sporting/Technical Director (there's a few names that cover it) and they oversee everything in the football department. Lawwell is doing parts of the DOF job but he doesn't have the skills required, you need footballing men to make footballing decisions. Just look at the state Man Utd are in because the people running the club and making all the decisions are businessmen.}

30 Nov 2020 14:25:47
Well from what I've seen of dykes he's better than our 2 put together and will prob go for double figures in a year but that's my opinion for what it's worth.

The longer today goes on the more likely it is that Lenny will be allowed to stay in place. If he doesn't go today then he won't be going in the short term.
We as a support need to drop the hysteric actions and harsh words. Yes, the majority of us would like him out and someone else in to give us a bit of hope because right now there doesn't appear to be too much goodwill flowing around the club or supporters. If he stays then what choice do we have but to get behind him again? HH.

If it wasn’t for the demonstration yesterday Lennon would still be in the dugout for our next league on Sunday.

Buzz, as it stands he will be in the dugout on Sunday.
Do you really think yesterday's antics have had a positive impact on anyone?
Lenny is not on too many supporters Christmas card lists at the moment but there is no defence for disgraceful behaviour.
Whether he stays or goes will not be influenced one bit by the so called 'fans' who can't control themselves, if anything it'll encourage the board to stick with him until they decide in their own time. I agree he should have gone long ago but DD and PL will do what they want regardless of thuggish behaviour or anyone else's opinion and some fans need to get that into their thick heads. HH.

The latest news is Dermot Desmond won’t back down to the demonstrators,
Only shows that demonstrating was the correct course of action at this stage.
The fans outside Celtic Park have my backing to do what’s necessary (without breaking the law) to make the board and Lennon see sense.
Surely they must see it’s over and change is a must.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 14:07:45
This contempt for the fans you speak of, do you think it has been there for a while? If so then why did fans not mind before now to the point where they were demonstrating? Is it because we were too busy winning and now we're not it has suddenly become an issue? If the Sevs were behaving the way our fans are behaving we'd have plenty to say about them and none of it would be complimentary but as it's our own fans it's ok. Is that how it works? HH.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Nov 2020 14:13:27
But they did break the law.
They got involved in a mass gathering and they assaulted police.
Plus they broke the 'moral' law of decency with the chants they were spouting about Lennon.
Demonstrating is all well and good if it's done properly but our 'fans' didn't do it properly. HH.

{Ed007's Note - You've got proof that police were assaulted? There's a massive difference in officers being assaulted and officers being injured, how do you know one of them didn't twist his ankle, or cut his hand on the fencing? And do you think the rest of them would have stood by while 2 of their own were being assaulted AND not arrested anyone?
It's fine to criticise the lads that were there but let's stick to the facts eh?}

30 Nov 2020 14:39:59
Why would our fans demonstrate when we were winning?
There need to demonstrate has been forced due to lack of action from the board.
And they will continue to demonstrate until there’s a change.
The Sevco fans did riot outside their ground which resulted in a Ibrox female worker losing her teeth.

Amazing this has all stemed from JOHN Mcginn. If we signed him and castagne then our previous manager would have stayed as he would have felt he had full backing of the board. Since then things have been slowly getting worse. Last season we steadied the ship but now it looks like there's no coming back.

Broony looks like his legs are gone again. Cal seems to forget how to position himself in midfield. It's amazing how bad is has become over the space of a short time.

Is this group of players capable of getting us back on track? It now seems as if we need a massive January transfer window.

Winning the 10 was never going to be easy but throwing it away isn't acceptable. There's still time and hopefully last night's protests are the kick up the arse they all need.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

It wouldn't have mattered if we had signed McGinn and Castagne, Rodgers was always going to jump at the first chance of getting a half decent PL club.
I'm sure it was reported that after he got sacked by Liverpool it was in his payoff that he couldn't manager another PL club for a certain amount of time.
As soon as that time period had expired Leicester came calling and we all know what happened.

Hi Ed, hope you're well and welcome back. Please could you post my message below:
You shouldn't kick a man when he is down, especially one of your own, you wouldn't do it to one of your family so why do the supporters who shouted abuse at Neil thinks it's acceptable to treat Neil so badly, that's not the Celtic way, that's not how I want my club and it's support to behave, their are ways of doing things, telling someone who is doing his utmost to bring success, thanks for your efforts but it's not working, it's time for change.
Neil Francise Lennon has been through more than his fair share of attacks, threats and vile treatment because of who he is, and what he represents, Neil has his faults like we all do, but he has always stood up for us, and done what he thinks is best.
I would like to apologise to Neil for what happened last night, and no matter what happens we should all be thankful to Neil for what he's done for us, wish him well and treat him with dignity and respect.

I wish Neil would admit his time is up as he keeps saying he can turn it around but l think he has had long enough because this season is getting worse every game and he has been a great servant to the club but the longer this goes on it is only going damage his reputation with the supporters.
Now back to last nights events outside the stadium we all know we have not been performing but our domestic success has been amazing lucky those outside were not old enough to remember after 7 1 in 1957 we did not win another trophy till 1965 and then 1989 1 0 we did not win another trophy till 1995 as how would they react going that long without a trophy
I know and think most will agree we need change but to act like that last night just gives all the media the ammunition they need and who will want the job seeing if you struggle the abuse you will get.
We don't care if we win lose or draw the line from a great song and faithful through and through keep the faith.
Stay safe and look after each other.

It is hard to see how Lennon can survive this pressure for him to go.

The facts are clearly obvious:

Started to write a post yesterday but today it's clear that Lennon has to go. The players performances are not good enough but for all the talk of changing formations and personnel it is still the same group of players and the tactics being used.

Watching the past few games there is no change to the intensity or pressing of teams or approach to open up teams and that is all on Lennon. Ross county were well organised but celtic have seen that shape enough times to come up with a plan to counteract.

There is no imagination and more importantly no fight in that team and again that is on Lennon. Brown may be on his last legs but I wouldn't be backing anyone else in there to win challeges. When players keep stepping back out of challenges that is on the manager to show that is not acceptable and they need dropping for it.

You can't put a team out with little to no instructions or the same instructions and expect results when teams have figured it out.

I am ashamed and disgusted by the latest actions of those who are "win only" supporters.
Yes the results recently have been poor but so have the players.
NL has maybe been too faithful and supportive of some of them.
He has also had to contend with C.V. and players being grounded, injuries and internationals disrupting any chance for players to settle.
I don't often write to the club but (I assume this was the correct contact address) I have contacted the club supporter liason officer.

Sir,
I have supported the club through thick and thin (seen them beaten by Third Lanark)
I just want to say that the pathetic and juvenile actions of the "privileged supporters" who call themselves the Green Brigade is not supported by myself.
They should be ashamed by their actions which are an embarrassment to Celtic FC and are making us a laughing stock.
I hope you are able to pass on my support for the current manager who, among other things, has delivered 5 of the 9 titles already won not to mention the silverware collected in the process.
I hope the Board are wise enough to remember that if they agree to the GB request then they are setting a precedent for future demands along the way.

I don't agree with morons injuring police and throwing missiles at the players but the time is up for NL and has been since he threw his players under the bus after our Champions League.

NL is rightly a legend at the club and deserves to be remembered as one. I don't blame him for not walking away. Like most of us he will have bills to pay and a family to support.

The players don't deserve to get away with it either. There will be players in that squad that should never play for us again. The board should also be held accountable for the amateurish way NL was appointed to letting this s**t show get to this point.

The board acting on behalf of the fans should be a precedent for the future TT. If you think the vast majority of Celtic fans don't want Lennon out then you're delusional. As I said last night, the neds who went and threw missiles or made disgusting threats should hang their heads in shame but Neil Lennon should not be our manager. He should never have survived the first Sparta game. Since then, the anger among the support has really boiled over because a blind man could see it's not getting any better. Celtic Football Club don't have a given right to win any game of football but if we had removed Lennon; yesterday, Thursday and last Saturday could have been much different. That's what's upset a lot of supporters, the blind faith of some regardless of the evidence of their eyes. Hearts ruling heads. When the time comes that you're not even surprised at a 4-1 doing off an average Sparta or a humbling from Ross County at home then it's time for drastic change.

30 Nov 2020 10:17:37
As a 'more mature' Celtic supporter, I have never felt like this in nearly 60 years watching Celtic.
I was never comfortable with Neil Lennon's second appointment, for various reasons; but have accepted the opinions and decisions of those in charge of the club we love and support in the belief we all have the same objectives, affection and ideology.

I have seen many managers come and go, The - Legendary, Charismatic, Average, Unfortunate and Unsuccessful; but never before have I seen a manager hounded, hated and abused publicly, mob-handed, by crazed fanatics.
The last protest as I recall was in '94 when the 'Brian Dempsey rebels' ousted The Kellys and Wee Fergus was installed, but even then I don't remember any such aggression or fury by supporters?

We were all unhappy with the current situation and I agree there have been a unique set of extenuating circumstances and hurdles. The lack of supporters in stadia probably prolonged frustrations longer than it should have, leading to these events but hindsight is a wonderful thing. The violence and hysteria solves nothing, as the players that have let the fans down week after week will still be here next game and the one after that; Meantime what 'Messiah' manager would want to take this on after watching our meltdown.

@1967stephen I'd like to see us show some ambition and pay the money for a manager who's currently performing well at another club. If we're going down the out of work route I'd take Eddie Howe. He's shown a real ability to progress a team (bottom of League 2 to EPL in 6 years) and be able to adapt to a higher level each time. Highlights being winning the Championship and keeping Bournemouth in the EPL for 4 seasons - achieving a top half finish on at least one occasion. For me, it's all relative and if he can get a tiny club like Bournemouth believing in themselves and performing greater than the sum of their parts then he can get a tune out of our underperforming players. The reason I've gone into depth about Howe is because a lot of our support dismiss him out of hand, in my opinion due to football snobbery. But at the end of the day there's a man skimming the guys of about £70k a week (which we apparently can't afford to pay a player) whose job it is to make that call and should have done so weeks ago.

Dry as ever, Ed :)

I imagine many of us can see something of ourselves in Neil Lennon. He doesn't have the airs and graces of your modern sophisticate and, especially as our primadonnas became accustomed to one of the smoothest of the smooth talkers, they were perhaps unlikely to appreciate what he might be able to bring in terms of sincerity. Not the man's fault: he has really gave it his best shot, with none of the "immaturity" that the media used to like to accuse him of. He seems to be beginning to realise it isn't panning out tho. Thanks for your service, Neil, please come back for the celebrations when we wind up the 10.

I like NL. I think he done a good job taking over from the shambles Mowbray left behind and he also done a good job steadying the ship when the rat left.

That being said he has failed everyone he has competed against a strong Rangers. Whether that be the old or the new. Most of his first reign was against no opposition and we have regressed at an alarming rate during his 2nd.

I don't remember many supporters being fussed he resigned the 1st time. I don't see many wanting him to stay this time.

Personally I'm sorry to see him go this way but if we continue Sevco will win the league by 20+ points. They may still win it even if we make change but to stand a chance it needs to happen now.

Jk should go with him. Never a coach, never a no2.

JK gets a lot of flak and while he doesn't appear to have made a decent AM he must have been a decent coach for the rat to have tried to take him to Leicester with him.

There are serious questions that require to be answered as to why our club has imploded so dramatically.
I honestly cannot believe what is happening, there must serious problems behind the scenes.
If and when Lenny goes, Kennedy and Strachan have to go as well, as I don't think that this mess is all down to Lennon.

Totally agree Claymore. The whole management/ coaching team are responsible for the mess we're in. Seems like all the hard work put in by Deila and Rodgers has been undone and things need to change now.
I still think we'll win the league. And although it doesn't seem to be popular on here, I'd be all for MON and Keane coming in til the end of the season.

Your right serious questions need answered. Firstly from a severe position of dominance and strength why where we allowed to get into a situation like this? Secondly how Cana team of serial winners all of a sudden be severely lacking in confidence to the point a sports physiologist is required? Thirdly what is the signing policy all about? Is it lennon signing the players? Hammond throwing players at lennon or is lawwell trying to play champ manager and he’s signing them? Either way the signing policy has been an absolute nightmare. bolingoli, Taylor, barkas, klimala, turnbull, soro. there's 6 players worth around a combined £20 + million that barely ever feature, then you’ve elyounoussi, laxalt and Duffy all will go back to there parent clubs come the summer, then you’ve edouard, ntcham, rogic, ajer and christie all admitting they would like to go elsewhere. what an absolute shambles the club has been allowed to get into in this season of all seasons. Lennon will take the fall, but the players should be utterly ashamed of themselves putting in performances like they have and the board? They disgust me. That result yesterday was always 1 game away for lennon and they’ve sat there watching like the rest of us and let that happen. disgusted is an understatement.

It's been a poisoned potion of bad management, insufficient coaching, players indiscipline and atrocious attitude and out-of-touch Board.

Claymore I agree. I've never been a fan of complicating structure at club with unnecessary roles such as DOF etc. A manager should be able to pick his own backroom team and sign players he wants.

I don't think its all down to Lennon but he should of done better with squad he had and tactics he implemented. In his defence I do think things might of been different if he had an experienced assistant manager, as John Kennedy has been a passenger for years who brings nothing to defensive side of coaching.

If we get a new manager in, I hope DD steps in to ensure manager picks his own backroom team and signs players he wants.

In summer I think we need a clear out.

It's certainly a mystery. These same group of players who steamrollered all before them after the winter break have came back as imposters.

Is it a combination of players wanting a move and beinold no. Players thinking they're better than what they are. The coaching has slowly but surely changed over the tenure of Lennon. Whatever it is, whoever comes in to replace Lennon (if he gets the sack) has to get more out of these group of players. Brendan Rodgers style.

If Celtic act now. We might, just might have a league still to player for.

This is what happens when a back room team gets forced on a manager.

i think that DD has lost interest in the football club and pl is coming to the end of his reign and it has to be a change from the very top down.
