Alan_R Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Great match, Bolton usually play such dull football and were never a club I liked. Now forgive me for not falling over myself because he summarised a few things reasonably well and came over as articulate in comparison to shearer and savage! Think that says more about the level of punditry in our media more than him I hope he is just awful and toils miserably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sifter Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I always think back to the Wilson trial, when it was basically John Wilsons word against ONE single steward who allegedly heard him shout "ya Feeeen *******" as he ran at Lennon. Wilson maintains he shouted "ya fuuuu *******".* Lennon takes the stand knowing full well he could send JW down if he were to say that it was indeed "feeee" that he heard as Wilson came towards him. Now, if NL was the rat many on here claim him to be, he could've stuck JW down, knowing that not one single person could've argued against him. Indeed, he actually had a steward willing to back him up. Judge "Mr Lennon, did you hear JW call you a feee?" Lennon "No sir" And in that single moment, my respect for NL went up a notch. * excuse my for trying to bypass the swear filter, but if I hadn't, none of this entire post would've made any sense... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Always detested him as a player and Celtic manager. Strange thing is that a Celtic friend, who's opinion I normally trust, knows him. He regularly goes out with him socially and swears that the NL we see isn't the same one he knows. Since leaving Celtic he has generated a media personna that is maybe truer to his real character than being tainted with Celtic and its baggage.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Good hire for them. I think Lennon has grown up a lot in the past few years and knocked off the tantrums and outrage. Still love the video of him raging during the Beattie penalty but good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future's Maroon Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Just seen him on BBC news being asked if he'll be going back to Celtic for potential signings in January...hopefully he stays clear of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Managing Bolton will be tougher than managing Celtic. Wont last. He's too good for them. He may not be a nice guy, but he's got all the attributes to be a top manager. Including a fear factor, not a suprise at all that the best Celtic players aren't trying as hard as they did when he was in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deid Heid Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Oh goody, my new least favorite english club. Pity too, fine old club. Pop-corn teeth will certainly be "found out" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Have you ever met him?? I have, on many occasions, hence my statement that he's a nice guy. I would rather have a bad loser on my team than someone who just shrugs after a defeat, and says that's life. And for the record, he doesn't hate us. But if that suits your sad petty agenda, then bash on chief. If I had a player who showed no emotion after a defeat then I'd probably spit out my lemon chicken and scream abuse from my living room window. In seriousness, I think he comes across as a decent guy with a good knowledge of the game. I've seen him on MOTD a couple of times and I actually enjoy listening to him. At Celtic he did some arsey things and made some dickish comments but he clearly had a passion for his club and unlike many managers, he wasn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. When you're the manager of a big club, like he was at Celtic, you're required to have that touch of arrogance about you. You're drilled into a winning mentality where you have to believe you are better than everyone else. Any manager at a top club who isn't won't fit in well.

Floyd Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 he said "i don't like hearts" and it was on question of sport or some other panel/couch show Certainly wasn't what he told me.
