Lennon leaves Hibs ( updated )

From Lennon's conduct in public, Hibs will easily have enough to sack him nevermind his conduct behind closed doors.

Sacking Parker on the other hand might be more tricky.

 

With regards the GoPros. You buy a ticket for Motherwell, you expect Motherwell and maybe even police CCTV to be monitoring home support. But for Hibs to be filming home support - dodgy as ****!

I dont understand what you are getting at with the last paragraph.

[Thomaso]

I see Brenda was bumming up Lennon as a fantastic manager at his press conference - only a few months ago he was telling everybody he never commented on another Club! ?

Hibs filmed the away support behind dugout, Motherwell v Hibs 23 January - in case someone threw a coin at Lennon or something

I’m guessing no way back for him and Parker now so as you say, a process will be followed with the aim of reducing the settlement amount they will agree to pay. A compromise agreement will be signed containing confidentiality clauses so his silence will be bought. 

 

I’d guess that a replacement, temporary or otherwise, is being lined up to step in as the process moves forward to the settlement point. Starting point is what’s left on his contract which they’ll be negotiating down based upon the findings of the investigation. Either way a costly outcome ?

 

My guess is that Hibs will not want to pay Lennon a single penny, and will just be looking to go through the due process and terminate his contract (for gross misconduct) when the disciplinary procedure is complete.

 

Hibs don’t seem to have any need of any confidentiality clause (Lennon seems to be the one who’d lose if anything was made public) or any reason why they might want to pay him anything in compensation by way of a compromise agreement.

Wee Lenny has played a blinder here. He'd clearly lost interest at Hibs due to them not 'matching his ambitions' and wants a way out with a payoff. He has form for deploying the petted lip and getting folk to see him as the victim of the peice. The sleekit shitehawk has engineered the whole charade.

By all accounts he’s lucky charges aren’t being brought against him so I think he’ll go quietly, where Hibs have a problem is what coaching staff follow him out the door...they all require a pay off!

 

That said all his pals from the west will tell us all how wee Neil’s been victimised and Hibs are a disgrace

Haha! The ‘rumours’ are pretty close to the truth...some embleshment on what he said to dempster but he was ‘out of control’ at one stage. There’s been an ongoing issue for 3 months and it all came to a head on Friday.

Certainly the story I have been told. Things have been simmering away for some time with him. When he loses it he’s apparently quite a sight to behold. 

As for the weegie press, we’ll it’ll take the heat of us for a wee while -  maybe.

If they chose to follow him out the door they're not likely to be eligible for a pay-off.  In fact, Hibs might be able to sue them for breach of contract, depending on their terms of engagement.

If Hibs sack them that is a different matter.

No probs. His track record of tantrums and petulance would suggest that he's the villain of the piece.

It will be interesting to see how he can Victimidate hibs in all of this,  he had the full backing of Celtics very talented spin doctors, and helped by the media at Hibs.  but as his stock plummeted  and his behaviour was becoming too toxic for Hibs, it was time to go.  If TLB had walked after the Derby then he might have had a chance at another job, but any due diligence by any future club will call up Hibs and ask WTF? 

 

The silence from hibs is that there is an internal on-going investigation,  I would suggest that they are looking at Gross Misconduct.  But what is known and what can be proved are two polarised truths.  But the media need to very carefully step back slowly and stop defending the indefensible.  TLB is not the victim here, Hibs staff members are....but it will come out no doubt formally. And more so it only really needs Hibs to say he brings it on himself.

So still no further on with lots of hearsay and very little confirmation.

And people talking about his job and being interested before any decision?

Interesting.

TBF, it's the press talking about his job, knowing that there's a 'big' story to be had. The potential managers are only responding to questions. Even if they said, "Leave it just now - I have no comment", the story would be "Xxxxx refuses to rule himself out of the running for Lennon's job."

While it wasn't without the odd speculation Paul Kane seemed to be most informed and balanced even. He rightly was on side of the fans including the lack of statement by Hibs. 

Would have been better had he been in studio not on phone so wasn't able to debate fully with the others. 

A statement from Hibs would be most unusual and, ultimately, to the detriment of Hibs fans as the club would risk being fleeced in any settlement.

No right-minded organisation would keep customers in the loop for an internal disciplinary case.

And I'm sure that, at the end of it all, Hibs will still keep it in house. We won't officially know the truthful details of what went on as Hibs would then be opening themselves up to all sorts of employment law shenanigans. Once the matter's settled between Lennon and Hibs, all we'll have is unsubstantiated rumour; and I'll look forward to seeing what unsubstantiated rumour you allege on here...

Good word. I'm sure it has a very narrow scope for application.

Seems the weejie media are turning on their darlings by saying poor wee Lenny has been treated badly by those nasty Hibs people. They (the weejia) are already helping him "victimidate"! (courtesy of Hagar the Horrible).

But nothing more will be said. Hibs briefing the press on Friday night is all we get. 

 

An agreement will be made.

With the amount of fuss he makes about sectarianism, even to the extent that he invents it where there is none, he's got a brass neck coming out with homophobic abuse when it suits him. Rather hypocritical IMO.

Petrie was out of the country when it all kicked off last week.

 

Dempster takes charge and Lennon ends up being treated like any other employee appraoch, suspended, investigation, no comments heading towards gross misconduct.

Depends on the which coaching staff go. Obviously stig of the dump will go with his pal Lenny so that’s one if Murray or May also get punted it’ll not be cheap. I suspect it’ll just be the poor wee victimised mr misunderstood and the tramp that sits next to him.

He’ll agree to go for nothing, if Hibs agree to keep the reasons confidential, and the fans and media will be told it’s by “mutual consent”.

 

Petrie’s idea, supposedly, Lennon’s advisors have agreed, but Dempster’s taking a bit of persuading as Lennon effectively gets off scot free....

 

....or so I’ve been told by a mate with a usually reliable source behind the scenes in Lochend.

If what we hear as rumour is true, I would want to be clear that he has been sacked for misconduct rather than a "mutual consent" whitewash. No need to go into the specific details.

[RobNox]

 

Story in The Sun (I know!) claiming he wants the statement from Hibs to absolve him and Parker of any wrongdoing.

 

Now, if what he is claimed to have said is true, I can imagine that Dempster might not be too happy at that.  It would be funny if she threatened to quit over the incident.
