Neil Lennon - New Boss

[papajaff]

Not in a million years thank you very much!

The Championship would be far too much of a step up from Celtic.

Neil LEMON to ME

 

[crodonilson]

Somewhat surprised at the anti-Lennon feeling.

So he was in a league where he had comfortably the biggest budget granted but he can only beat whatever is put up against his side and he did that emphatically and with some style. The records kept on tumbling for Lennons Celtic vintage of recent years. It's also no means a gimmee for Celtic to win the league, just look at the struggles of John Barnes, Paul Le Guen and Tony Mowbray north of the border. Also their Champions League previous season was quite remarkable, had the lowest budget and beat Barca and qualified for the knockout stages when no-one gave them a hope in hell.

Wouldn't be my first choice but he's done everything and more expected of him at Celtic so I think he deserves a chance somewhere in English football, and whoever is bold enough to appoint him might reap the dividends.

NO


no no no to Foghorn Leghorn!!!!! (Biggest cock i could think of)

I'm already filled with dread at some of the comments that would come from certain sections of our support if it didn't go well. No from me. I'm a big fan of his as a player and as a motivator but if I'm honest I'm not convinced at all by most of his signings or from the attitude/performance of this year's Celtic side.

 

[Hyperion]

It wasn't the best of analogies, I'll admit. But come on, the disparity between the quality of Celtic and the quality of the other teams is immense. It's boring watching Celtic thrash the same teams week in, week out. Remember Oscar Garcia managed a top Israeli side before coming to Brighton, he may have won the League over there, but the English Football League is a whole other kettle of fish.

It's fair game that the Scottish league is poor but he done very well in Europe considering the opponents

 

[dennis]

Having seen the comments and the poll on here, if Lennon was given the job it would be on par when Mike Ashley gave the Newcastle job to Joe Kinnear

 

[8ace]

What do you reckon

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

He left Celtic due to a restricted budget, they out bid us for the dutch centre back last year, would be amazed if he is interested in dealing with a long term project that involves developing players rather than buying expensive ones.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Doesn't have any experience in a competitive league and doesn't play "attractive" football, so it would be a no no from me..

 

[BN9 BHA]

Lennon in charge, just Imagine

 

[Northern Monkey]

Not for me. Tactically he's shocking, but then why would he need to be any good when his team just walks over their opposition most weeks?

Also, as much as I hate to say it, I think he'll see Brighton as being somehow beneath him and will be looking at either a team already in the Prem (West Brom) or a team with plenty of financial clout due to parachute payments (Norwich).

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Nope. Winning with Celtic is hardly an achievement and whilst the Euro bits were impressive I don't rate him higher than I would Steve Clarke.

It may have something to do with my inherent dislike of 'passionate' managers. If you're that angry on a touchline, that often, your players probably aren't paying you much attention in the first place.

 

[DumLum]

Please god let Tony Bloom see this thread before appointing him.

 

[DumLum]

Suddenly singing CHRISSY HUGHTON's BLUE & WHITE ARMY seems appealing.

Uh, no they didn't. FC Groningen refused to sell Van Dijk until the end of the season because they really needed him. We never returned to bid for him and Celtic snapped him up. We bid around £2.5 and Celtic bidded 2.6, but they got him only because we never returned for him.

Lennon in charge, just Imagine

Well played

 

[BensGrandad]

He has only managed in a 3rd rate league where other than Celtic the teams are Div 1 standard so might as well go for div 1 manager.

The only plus would be if he could bring his centre back with him the one we were after.Van Dijk?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Think of all the 'Oh No Plastic' population of fans' views

 

[wigman]

If we sign Lennon as the manager, then I will end my 41 year association with the club.
