That's another snub from the Premier League for Neil Lennon with news that W.B.A. have appointed Alan Irvine as their new manager.

Is anyone else starting to think Lennon is going to struggle to get another management job of any standing?

His best bet might be going into the Championship and hoping he catches a PL club's eye, it was obvious he fancied the Norwich job and with parachute payments he probably thought he could take them straight back up.

It must be worrying him that clubs aren't exactly beating down the door to appoint him considering the work him and his agent have been doing since January 2013 to engineer a move down south.

And let's face it, going abroad to somewhere like Dubai to manage is not going to add anything of note to his CV. As time goes on I'm starting to wonder just how amicable him leaving Celtic actually was, did he really leave just to go to Brazil and work for the BBC?

P.S. On another note I'm not long in from a great day out in Garngad at the Green Brigade's annual anti-discrimination football tournament and foodbank collection, as usual everyone involved was a credit to the club.

Where exactly is the quotes to say he applied for Norwich or WBA to be snubbed?

I was never his biggest fan but if you ask me these 2 clubs have taken the cheap options and will be left to count the cost when they fail to get promotion next year.

Where exactly can W.B.A. fail to get promotion from next year?

When you see the quality of some of the EPL managers, I am sure Lennon may be in no great hurry to get a job as the EPL is full of people who cannot manage and but for the crazy money around they wouldn't have a job .

If he wants to take a break and have an easy job in the sun good luck to him and his family

I'm sure some of the GB would sell their souls of a standing area, would maybe explain some of the negitive vibes coming from that direction towards our departed manager .
Lawwell I'm sure would look favourably on those who would help deflect the heat of his present goings on and his mini coup for total control .
Be careful what you wish for, a small section could easily be swallowed up if the proposed 3000 standing places are allocated.
Another V for the big boss?
He's playing a fine game.

The interest in Neil Lennon's future career or lack of it is very touching . I am sure Neil will feel very reassured .
I am surprised how anyone knows that he has been over looked by WBA or any other club . I am sure Neil Lennon is in no rush as based on last season there will be plenty of vacancies right through the season, so that there no chance that he feels that he will necessary be out in the cold for long .
If Lennon. Is been snubbed its a bad reflection on how some English clubs look at their counterparts across the border, if the most successful manager in Scotland over the past four years isn't considered worthy for a struggling EPL club, then the EPL club has a problem .

{Ed007's Note - I think the fact that David McNally is Norwich's chief executive alone is evidence that NL was at least considered for the Norwich job. NL also hired a Manchester based agent about 18 months ago to to begin sounding out the English market for jobs, so he would most definitely have been putting his name forward to lower end EPL and higher end Championship clubs most of last season looking for an earner.
It wouldn't surprise me to see Lennon take a year out to work for the BBC in the hope that an English club take a chance on him, he admitted himself earlier this year that he was disappointed no English team had made any approach for him.

@ed it wouldn't surprise me if lennon ended up commentating as a career instead of management. I don't think he is going to get the managers job he is looking for

{Ed007's Note - He might well do that and good luck to him if he does. It's worked out well for others who've done it.}

As you say Ed we don't know if Neil is frantically looking for an EPL job now or is taking time out and working for the BBC in the mean time . One thing is sure there will always be many vacancies in England .
I am now certain, he was right to leave Celtic, whether he was encouraged or not, as I think he has brought the club as far as he could . Another year may have destroyed the memory people had of him .

{Ed007's Note - He's not dead ffs, you'll get over it!! A couple of months of Collins keeping Delia right and you'll be back on track. I expect a calendar out with Collins showing his 6 pack off, a sponsored vitamins program, keep fit DVD and catchy slogan before Santa time this year, think of an arrogant Hulk Hogan with a patronising sneer on his face.}

@ed to be honest I thought he done alright commentating on france v Honduras game. He was certainly better than shearer who was waffling a load of $hite. I genuinely wish him all the best

{Ed007's Note - Don't get me started on Shearer!}

12.) 17 Jun 2014
Nah! Please don't start ed 007 on Shearer or anyone else, just try to wean him off Lennon. I find it hard to understand how you thought that I thought he was dead . After all I asked the question was he frantically searching .
Surely if I thought he was dead I wouldn't post that .

{Ed007's Note - Just with the way you said about destroying the memory people have of him, my memories will give me nightmares for years to come!}

13.) 18 Jun 2014
Ed Its not worth it, waking up at night in a cold sweat . That only leads to bad temper and awkwardness the next day .
Forget about Lennon and live in peace.

{Ed007's Note - It's not healthy lol, I had a dream that he was hanging about with Joey Barton!}
