the jambo poet Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Be in Neil Lennon's shoes for a day (or bring your own). This could be fun !!! Great cause though and well done Neil Lennon for doing this. He doesn't always get good press, especially on here. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/neil-lennon-donates-chance-to-manage-hibs-for-a-day-as-charity-auction-prize-1-4801610 An East Lothian charity is offering the chance to manage Hibs for a day - after manager Neil Lennon donated the opportunity as an auction prize. The Tranent-based Walk With Scott Foundation (WWSF), established by local resident Scott Glynn, is accepting offers from interested parties, with the top bidder winning the chance to walk in Lennon’s shoes for 24 hours. The winner will meet the Hibs first team, take a training session and be treated to a tour of the club’s East Mains training complex. A spokesperson for WWSF said: “This is a fantastic auction item kindly donated by Neil Lennon and Hibs.” The top bid currently stands at £750 but with a closing date of November 17, that is expected to increase. Glynn - named Community Champion at the Edinburgh Evening News Local Hero awards last year - met Lennon at a recent friendly match between Tranent Juniors and a Hibs XI at Foresters Park The WWSF began life as a small charity effort, later achieving foundation status in 2017. In the last six years, the Foundation has helped 50 charities and raised over £250,000 through a number of walking events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Boy Named Crow Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Surely we can pool our resources here, then in an old Championship Manager fashion, use that day to terminate the first team contracts etc. Would see the obvious course of action, no?

Ofc there will be limits, but have them training in dresses or Hearts tops and working on a 460 formation would be a good laugh. And our Craig... Likes a good laugh! 460 formation training in natural order T shirts with a pic of Craig on the front.

adambraejambo Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Nice idea I see no harm with this as it for charity and a bonus for Lennon. He can schedule his day off so he can go to his next Celtic function. On a more serious note, I tempted to bid for this myself and get them to do a tough mudder course, a team building day... I would of course, tell you all on here in advance when and where it be taking place, god forbid some of the obstacles were sabotaged!

tian447 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 We should absolutely do it as a JKB effort. I'm not sure how much we'd need to raise to win the auction, but it would be an absolute disaster for them to have a Hearts fan forum in charge of their team for a day In all seriousness, imagine the stories in the papers though, as a rival fan forum takes charge of your team for the day. The PR spin would probably suit Hibs quite well as well - could imagine it making national news, and could be used to raise awareness for the charity too! Make them train in Hearts kits, and take the piss a bit, but nothing major, and it would be quite funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
