If NL has to fall on his sword to save our season then reluctantly it has to happen.
The team looks disjointed, unorganised and a shadow of the champions of last season.
In these circumstances the manager generally carries the can.
But some of those players are stealing a wage and pulling our pants down with the excuses that are coming out.
If I hear they are missing the crowd once more!
Some are doing themselves no favours in there attempt to get a move.
If a new manager comes in and suddenly we start to go on a run then it says more about the players attitude than NLs.
Like rangers attempt at 10iar, we also seem to be imploding.
But we have a chance to either stick or twist. its early enough to try and rescue things.
Even if the manager stays nothing has been lost but on current form a change might be needed.
Either way the players must take more responsibility or is the pressure of standing on the edge of history to big a burden to bare.

Lennon will carry the can.
But the players shouldn’t need motivated for a history making once in a lifetime season.
It was a red flag when Fraser Forster chose to not come for a shot at 10 In A Row.
The clubs had agreed for Fraser to stay at Celtic and yet the player decided otherwise.
And on top of that other players don’t want to be at the club either.
There’s obviously something wrong behind the scenes and the setup at the club if the players aren’t enjoying working for Celtic anymore.
If the players are not playing for their manager then he has to go.
It’s not nice but the players have all the power these days.

My first worry was when KT left when he did not long after NL got the job permanently and I know he wanted to better himself etc etc but it cam as a surprise to me he was so desperate to leave at that time?

Good point Celtic Mad.
I was shocked KT didn’t want to stay and win 10 In A Row.
Brendan wasn’t great in the transfer market but he was a good coach.
He took Ronnie’s players and turned them into Invincibles.
The players played like they enjoyed their football under Brendan and what we are witnessing now is the exact opposite under Lennon.

Spot on Celtic Mad. Wouldn't surprise me if KT witnessed the difference in set up between the rat and NL and realised it would hinder his development.

Or maybe KT had an epiphany, after he got that bad hip, or whatever it was, injury, and realised he could get hurt badly any day, and the chance of big big money would be gone forever, so he thought he'd be better jumping ship and getting his snout in the trough whilst he still had the chance.

Wouldn't blame him one bit if that was the case Aindoh.

When Rodgers left and Lennon came in its like dating Charlize Theron who leaves you and you're next bird is Lisa Dingle!

The way the modern game is now the players have all the power. Down tools and the first to go is the manager. New manager comes in players up their game to impress the new manager and go on a run of games and all is forgiven for the players and blame the manager. Till next time they get fed up. Ok if the players don't want to play for Celtic then stand up and come out and say it and then let Lennon send them to reserves. We the fans deserve more respect from the players who play for our club especially this season. Do the players want to be remembered for been legions for winning 10 ina row or the players who downed tools.
Chelsea's players down tools for years and got 3/ 4 managers sacked. It's a disgrace for any club when their players down tools. It's the fans who pay their wages that suffer the most.

celtic_mad MR CELTIC Tierney was always wanting to leave regardless of lenny being there or not he was wanting to move down south the season before and Rodgers talked him in to staying for another season.
