Reaction for the fans forum Celtic Noise to the ‘Lennon Stays’ (for now) news that appeared in the papers this morning from Alison McConnell at Herald/Glasgow Times and Stephen McGowan at Daily Mail as well as on the succulent Celtic forum yesterday afternoon…
“I think that the current pandemic situation might be decisive in the Celtic Boards thinking. If its Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane, they are going to want money spent in January, wee Gordon maybe not as much, most other managers would be asking ‘how much am I getting?’ but with no match day income and profits way down I think the board will caw canny and stick with Neil, In the long term I’ve a sneaky suspicion that next season win or lose Neil will walk and the Barca assistant coach will be available to take over by then solving the Boards conundrum,” 50 Shades of Green.
“I’ll support the team as always but don’t ask me to turn a blind eye to the shambles that Neil Lennon is as a modern-day manager,” Khenny.
“Rock and a hard place for Celtic. In the aftermath of Martin’s reign we HAD to cut costs and get back to living within our means and WGS achieved that brilliantly. I believe coronavirus has left us with a much deadlier fiscal dilemma this time. I have less interest in The Ten than I have in next season going forward. I believe if Celtic get good offers for Eddie, Ollie, Big Kris and Ryan that they will be compelled to let them go ( I think that’s why we’ve stockpiled Soro, Turnbull, Taylor, Connell, Robertson, O’Connor and Welsh etc), I may be wrong but this virus has brought the economies of every business to its knees and we would be naive to think bailing out football clubs would take precedence over peoples Jobs, Mortgages and the were withal to feed their families. The club are not daft they know we are in a rage with everyone about the ten but they also know we have to become CELTIC SUPPORTERS again and get behind Lenny and the team,” Celtic Ghosty.
“Rather than leak his story to favoured journalists, should our obscenely paid CEO not come out and communicate with the support and explain why he thinks the manager should remain in his position and discuss the consequences of such a decision.Put it on Celtic TV season ticket pass, that could be part of our added value we’ve yet to see!
“I’d say the board have a bigger problem getting Celtic players behind the manager than Celtic supporters. Also, it’s pointless stockpiling young promising players if you don’t give them game time. You can’t sell all your best players then replace them with what is effectively a reserve team, no matter how good they may become,”Gary67.

“IF it’s true that Lenny has the board’s backing then we’re in a worse place than I could imagine. The 10 is already over. The title is theirs to throw away. Give me any solid reason why I’m wrong? The board better be ready for a huge backlash as many won’t renew Season Tickets. Merchandise will also suffer. We give our club our hard earned cash at a time when many are struggling. The board side with Lenny. Furious,” Steviebhoy2.
“Why is the board supporting Neil Lennon when he’s not getting results for us to win the league? Are they not bothering then about the 10th league title? And if so why?” Celtic Rose.
“Lennon has lost the dressing room. After every game, he’s naming players individually.
He’s also lost the majority of the fans. The only people who still seem to be backing him are the board. Can they not see, what’s in front of them every game?
“The defence is a disgrace. The midfielders are playing like a bunch of strangers. The strikers are ALL unfit! WHY? The management! They are playing players who are either unfit or just rubbish. It doesn’t matter how bad you play, your in the team for the next match.
There are players sitting in the stand, who were fit when they came to the club, but never get a game. Please Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell get the management out and try and salvage something from this season.
“It’s a good job that the fans aren’t getting into the matches just now, because after every game they’d be standing outside demanding the board and management get out! dungloe67.
“What kind of manager picks players he thinks are lazy and not trying? When he has biggest squad to pick from? And if they don’t want to be here and he knows they are trouble, why has he not got shot of them? And why is he publicly announcing these things after he loses but they are all superstars when we win? His interview style is erratic to say the least? TET.
“Peter Lawwell is not going to communicate directly with us any time soon imo…..he knows that we know…that he was in on the 5 Way stitch up and the stitch up of Res12…..that’s the way he’s going to be remembered imo…I’m betting he will be gone within 12 months.” Imatim.
