Opinion – Lenny is wrong, we can wish for better

Neil Lennon had his say on our recent run of bad form, and predictably he stood up for those in charge, principally Dermot Desmond. Neil funnily enough was also the man in charge when we last lost two league games on the trot back in 2013.

Neil said we should be careful what we wish for as Dermot’s backing has seen us been so successful these past twenty years. Granted that has a hint of truth about it, but it still doesn’t excuse the lack of ambition, particularly on the European front, something I’m sure Neil knows all too well having been manager of Celtic on two occasions.

But I doubt he’s going to speak badly of the men who he’s close to, and would have no hesitation in giving him a job in some capacity at Celtic Park in the near future, should an opportunity arise.

Dermot is a rich man, and he has dipped his hand in his pocket a good few times to pay for players and managers that would normally be out of our price bracket, ie Robbie Keane and Brendan Rodgers. But on the whole he’s held those riches back while keeping a close clique of allies beside him on the board, a combination of yes men and those who only care about their massive salaries and bonuses.

It’s like a small cartel, who don’t want to move with the times and are perfectly happy standing still as long as the money keeps coming in while being happy to just be marginally better on the domestic front. Yes we should be careful what we wish for, but we can also wish for a whole lot better.

Especially when we have the financial muscle to do so.
