Lennon was to stay till then but things have got so embarrassing for him/them that they/him flung in the towel. Good riddance to the horrible wee rat, even allowing for the fun he's given us all this past season. He's not so smug and gloating now. I can't see Clarke taking it. He wants nothing to do with the sectarian poison of those 2 entities. They are both the shameful face of Scotland, aided by the Scottish media, who are either of a similar mind or too scared to challenge it.

He's proven himself to be a very good manager, and think he'll go back down south when his time is up at the national team. I don't think that'll be any time soon though. I think he'll want a crack at the World Cup. I think Eddie Howe could be a shout for the Celtic gig. Or some other bawbag from down south. Well, let's hope it's some bawbag or other! 😆 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never forget his feigning injury when a coin hit him on his jacket, never forget his rant after Celtics disgraceful jolly boys outing during a global pandemic. He called sectarianism racism and claimed conspiracy whenever things went wrong. Did he ever speak out against his own clubs role in this, child abuse, breach of covid regulations, violence etc. etc. etc. Of course none of this will change just because Lennons gone, but at least we don't have to witness the scummy little hypocrite spouting his bile week after week.

In many ways, Lennon was well suited for it. Yep some of the stuff Rodgers and his family received when he left was criminal . But in the end money talks,there will be plenty wanting the job .

His trophy haul looks impressive but most of them came when Rangers were pish. Finally they get some competition for the first time in a decade and he crumbles. Fraud. Most Old Firm managers are the same. Rodgers, is possibly the exception. Walter Smith went to England, and done shit with Everton, almost relegating them, blaming it on money.

Its a wart on the arse or world football. I really cant be arsed with NL but really, what has he done that means he needs to walk? This 10 in a row pish is nothing to be proud of. Its just wrong that if you dont win absolutely everything then you get sacked/have to walk. The glory hunting supporters fed by the west coast media have them all in a frenzy about it! Imagine if Hearts were having the season that Celtic were right now? Who would complain about 2nd in the league and a Scottish cup win? Disgraceful that the powers that run our game have allowed it to be about 2 teams and they're only really happy if theres 4 "old firm" league games, 2 "old firm" cup finals and an "old firm" league deciding "helicopter Sunday" every season and to hell with the rest of Scottish Football. The sooner Scottish football HQ is ripped out of bigot town to the countries capital the better it will be for the game. Plus we need a 1 team, 1 vote system. None of this veto pish or whatever! One thing that hasn’t been adequately acknowledged this season is how absurdly consistent Rangers have been. That didn’t help Lennon. But on the occasions I’ve watched Celtic, they’re been tactically woeful. Part of the blame lies with him, part of the blame lies with the Celtic board for appointing him in the first place and not seeing the light earlier this season. That combined with a lazy recruitment strategy. I’m not sure who Scottish football serves any more tbh. The Old Firm hate being here. Everyone else hates them being here. But I also hate the idea of them getting their way by snaking into the EPL (which thankfully won’t happen). It’s a miserable state of affairs and the last people with any ideas or inclination for change and the people who govern the game.

Celtic have been diet fed titles and cup wins for many years now without any serious challenge. It's second nature now for some of their support...and that level of expectation means that second spot is an abysmal failure! No sooner than Rangers getting back to putting in a challenge, the whole deck of Celtic cards collapse, and someone must pay the price. Trouble is Lennon cannot do diplomacy, and therefore it's all conspiracy and factions working against him behind his back. I'm not sure that we should also accept Hearts being second best......Why not be ambitious enough to go for titles and cup wins? (slightly ambitious I know!)......SAF would never have accepted being perennial R/U to Celtic/Rangers in his time at Aberdeen.....I buy my season ticket in the hope that the next season will bring unqualified success at Hearts (again, optimism levels at max!) Finally.....I'm not sure that the clubs want SFA HQ ripped out of Wegia.....you would only transplant the same rancid people to another location elsewhere in the country. Same problems, different view out the window! Apathy is the problem, self interest is the problem....Celtic/Rangers £ is the problem....None of that going away anytime soon. However, good start to the day.....Lennon is off! It's not just a game of football though, is it? That is just the excuse. It goes deeper and wider than that. 10IAR was their way of asserting their "cultural, political and religious" dominance for all time. Think not? Check out some of the stuff emanating from the Green Brigade in recent years. Significant that those mutants - as opposed to ordinary celtic fans - were the ones rampaging at celtic park and attacking their team bus for actually daring to lose ONE GAME. Ironic that Lennon, the bitter twisted wee guy who set out to appeal to that lowest common denominator within their support was in the end the man they hounded out of the job.

JimmyCant Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 5 hours ago, Pans Jambo said: I disagree Jimmy. the system needs changed to move away from "size". and in any case, Hearts have no more power than Hamilton and we generate WAAAY more money than they do. The trouble is the whole system is rotten and designed to only benefit 2 teams. That needs changed IMO. If Tynecastle was rebuilt to take 40,000 and we filled it every week nothing would change at the top. Its a bent system. Couldn’t agree more but it’s catch 22. A rigged system that can’t be changed unless those being heavily favoured agree to it. It will take mass resignation from clubs below the OF or the OF themselves leaving before we’ll see change of the type needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Gerrard's quite early signings are still important players for them - Goldson, McGregor, Arfield, Kamara, Kent, Defoe, Helander.. - despite them achieving very little before this season. He's made a lot of complete dud signings as well. It would have been easy to do a major rebuild each season they failed to win something but Rangers seems have let him do it his way. Quite impressed with how Gerrard has managed Morales as well. He seems to be a bonafide football manager who might actually have a really good career when he moves to a proper club.
