CJGJ Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 first-team coach Alan Thompson was sacked last night - just three weeks after the champions lifted the SPL trophy at Parkhead. Friends of Thompson claimed he had been dismissed because of concerns within the club about his 'lifestyle'. The 38-year-old was said to be 'shocked and very disappointed' by the news he was being axed from Neil Lennon's backroom staff. Thompson is also understood to have left demanding to know if the decision was down to former team-mate Lennon or the club hierarchy. It is believed that no compensation was agreed for his one-year rolling contract, leaving open the possibility of a legal dispute. In February 2011, Thompson was fined ?600 and banned from driving for 16 months after admitting a drink-driving charge. Sources claim Thompson received further warnings from the club about his behaviour. The dramatic development leaves Lennon with assistant Johan Mjallby and coach Garry Parker as the key members of his technical staff. It remains to be seen whether any moves will be made to replace Thompson before Celtic step up preparations for the Champions League qualifiers that will open their new campaign. The Geordie was brought back to Celtic Park by Lennon when the Northern Irishman was appointed as permanent boss in the summer of 2010. In public, their relationship seemed close, with Thompson lavishing praise on both Lennon's managerial ability and his mental strength as they closed in on last season's convincing title triumph. Now, though, their bond has been broken, bringing to an end a Celtic connection that started for Thompson when he was signed for the club by Martin O'Neill in a ?2.75million move from Bolton Wanderers in 2000.

Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 In the interviews he gave immediately after the SC semi he did seem unusually enraged, to the extent that he was about to spout obscenities to the camera. I guess there was more going on with him at the time than just some questionable refereeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 If the club have actually made it known there were concerns about his "lifestyle" that is shocking. I'm sure a huge amount of people in football have been emptied for the same reason but clubs generally have the good race to keep it under wraps. Can't stand the prick though.

i wish jj was my dad Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 If Mr Thompson has been sacked because of his 'lifestyle' the question that springs to mind for me is why are Celtic quite happy to expose NL to massive media exposure when he has IMO behaved in a way that any decent employer would have taken him out of the firing line for reasons not unconnected to his life style and behaviour. I have no idea about Mr Thompson's problems but his interviews after the SF suggested to me that he was less than rational. NL's behaviour on a number of occasions in the media glare have been similarly irrational. I'm inclined to think that both individuals need some support but it's interesting that their employers seem happy to bin AT but keep NL in a far more public facing job. I don't believe that it's because he is recognised as a brilliant manager like Martin O'Neill. This is just an observation. Not sure what others think?

Matty Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is definitely due to his alleged drinking problems. My son trains up at Celtic in Lennoxtown and the rumours there are rife that he has turned up for training worse for wear after numerous warnings from the club about this. Feck him.

AT appears to have been fired for turning up worse for wear after a heavy night on the booze once too often. NL has many faults, but as far as I know, he isn't guilty of the same thing. NL would certainly benefit from having a calm, sober and rational backroom staff who can talk sense in to him when he loses his shit....... I hope they replace him with this guy...
