Thought Police Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 They were all begging for MacLaren to re-sign in the Summer as well. I always thought he looked mediocre but had chances put on his plate by a great midfield. He huffed and puffed against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon: I need 2 centre half’s as good as Berra and Souttar, a defensive midfielder as good as Harring, a creative midfielder as good as stevie Naismith and a striker as big and powerful as Uche to work with Mclaren and Kamberi, and we’ve signed Scott Allan right? Hayley: Hi Neil I’ve got your signings they are all on loan tho... we got you a guy who can’t get a game for Motherwell, a teenager from Leicester and Mark McNulty not the golfer an actual football player apparently, Erm...Scotty Allany has signed but he’s staying at Celtic for now as he’s a wee bit embarrassed at coming back again...oh and one other thing we eh we got rid of that McLaren....how’s that Lenny boy just what you asked for...

That could, potentially at least, give him a case for claiming constructive dismissal had they sacked him, and might explain why they’ve paid him.

The Old Tolbooth Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 What I heard was that the Hibs board were getting a bit sick of him continually asking for more funds for players and have been wanting rid of him for a while, and so any little excuse they could use was going to be used to prise him out the door. I personally don't see anything wrong with that from Lennon's point of view, however we all know how much of a petulant little child the man can be so god only knows how he conducted himself whilst asking for extra funds, and what/how many players he threw under the bus at the same time. I reckon that's why they've come to an amicable agreement that seems to suit everyone, although Tom English is definitely sticking to his "not everyone is happy out of this deal" mantra however, but won't expand on it. Either way, Hibs have handled this supremely poorly and don't come out of this looking good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB52 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 15 hours ago, scott herbertson said: Hibs being linked with John Carver, ex-Newcastle From Wiki... "On 26 January, it was confirmed that Carver had been appointed temporary head coach until the end of the 2014–15 season.[ During his spell as caretaker manager, he had accrued three losses and a draw in all competitions. Five days after Carver was named the temporary head coach until the end of the season, he won his first match on 31 January, against Hull City.[ From 4 March to 2 May, he oversaw a run of eight successive league defeats, a club record for Newcastle in the Premier League. Despite such heavy losses, Carver still believed that he was "the best coach in the Premier League",[though he later claimed that his words were taken out of context by the media after receiving widespread hilarity for his statement." Sounds ideal he used to coach my grandson at Newcastle boys. He certainly is not someone to have a go at. Having said that he has no track record as a manager really so might be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to move on quickly and avoid bad publicity it makes sense to do deal. Lennon's lawyer would certainly be making a strong case. Petrie perhaps most involved. But Dempster has also been keen to protect Hibs' reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Dunno if she is any good or not, I suspect the reason they have had to pay Lennon up is to do with the suspension possibly being against some HR rules, which he would have been able to sue over, but I do agree that she has been seriously undermined and I expect her to be offski soon, again with a golden handshake.

joondalupjambo Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I like Leann's latest comment, quoted on the BBC sport website. "I understand supporters want to know - it's their club - but there's been a joint statement that's been agreed by all parties and we are really not saying anything beyond that". In other words shut the f up and we will tell you what we want to tell you and if that means as loyal supporters you do not get the truth so be it. Not a good tactic that one as it will no doubt come back and bite Hibs when crowds dwindle and income reduces. Guess the truth is covered by non disclosure agreements on both sides, even saying that would be better than that quote I would have thought.

Jambo-Fox Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Dear Neil Lennon, I loved you as a player at Leicester. Alongside Gary Parker, Muzzy Izzett, & Robbie Savage you made the greatest LCFC midfield ever! However you left! You transgressed big time! As a player at Celtic I forgave you! But .... Your behaviour as manager at Celtic and most recently Hibernian was upsetting! I developed contempt for you, you lost all my respect! However today (Sunday 10th Feb) at Wembley vs Spurs ... I forgive you! You cheered when Leicester scored and when spurs scored their 3rd goal you held your head in your hands. At that point I knew you were a true Fox! I thought it was great that you were at the match with your son and watched it all, there’s nothing better than a father taking their son to a match. And it’s great that you wanted and were able to sit with the regular fans. All I can say is .... Neil welcome back to the Fox family! Love JamboFox PS I’m sure Craig Levein is already missing you!
