sylofox Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 Am I the only Person on this forum who would have Neil Lennon over any of the 'Big three'? I think he has loyalties to club and will always have the best interest at heart, He isn't a bad manager just lacks the calibre CV of the other three. I cant help but envisage the other 3 overhauling our squad. All the hard work that been put in and building a successful team. I may be wrong, but i just cant help the feeling that its going to end in disaster a big manager with a name bringing in the 'big Charlie'. Just a Thread to discuss Neil Lennon's suitability, as there is one for the other big three candidates. Neil Lennon gets my vote. How happy will Vardy be with a manager that brings in big charlie with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inckley fox Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 He could well turn out to be a great manager and I hope he does, but there isn't a huge amount of evidence to support that yet. One of the main advantages from the board's perspective could be that the fans will be inclined to give him time and it's not unthinkable that he'd be willing to work with a much more experienced manager for a year to learn his trade, before - all being well - taking over thereafter.

If the owners are worried about 'reputation' and 'respect', they will have a problem with Lennon. As a manager, he's morphed into this overly fiery character capable of a eight match touchline ban. Fighting around the dugouts and sent off on regular occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 To be honest, the longer we go waiting for a manager the more I am willing to give Lennon a chance. It will be a gamble, and could end if failure but I'd love him to be a success here. You can't really judge him on his achievements at Celtic, he won everything he should have done. But on the same token you can't say he is shit based on the fact their was no competition. I think he won less than he should've. He won the league each time but his cup record was poor. Two Scottish Cups out of 9 Scottish and League Cup attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 Lennon would be dreadful. We may as well am give it to shakes and Walsh if we're going to bring in shite like Lennon. He's done a miserable job at Bolton, he would certainly send us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Foxin_mad Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 Think he would be better than some old fart on the retirement circuit at least he might still have a bit of drive left. Hasbeens like Sven, Hiddink and Raneri should stick to footballing outposts like Australia, Asia and MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez of Mahrez Posted 7 July 2015 Author Share Posted 7 July 2015 I don't think there's any need for some of the abusive terms given to Lennon in this thread. He has already played a major part in establishing us as a Premier League club once. Fair enough if you don't think he can do it as a manager but his playing career with us surely means he merits being discussed in more polite terms?

Guest Foxin_mad Posted 7 July 2015 Share Posted 7 July 2015 I despair too.... What the **** has he actually done in 5 years? He was a name once so what. Fergy was a different level to these managers in everyway, he knew when his time was up and went out on a high.

dayday Posted 8 July 2015 Share Posted 8 July 2015 People talking of a different formation and tactics when the new manager comes in. Well I cannot see Lennon changing to much,played with 3 centre backs in the O'Neill days. So though he is not everybody's favourite,he is the one manager that can make the transition without complications. The last thing we need is a Sousa type manager complicating things,so just be careful what you wish for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 8 July 2015 Share Posted 8 July 2015 What has he done at Bolton to help you form that opinion?Well they were utter dog turd before he joined and he kept them up ok. Not enough to give him the job, but certainly enough to say he didn't do a terrible job, or was shit at Bolton.He needs another year in the champ with a team he's moulded a bit before we know if he might make it.

Sly Posted 8 July 2015 Share Posted 8 July 2015 I don't want Lennon personally. His achievements, or lack there of at Bolton have left me very underwhelmed. People keep saying "he knows the club". Does he? Really? Ask yourself, do you know that company you resigned from 10 - 15 years ago. Do you know all Managers, Owners, Staff etc, for the majority I'm suggesting the answer will be no. The club has changed. Other than it being the same city, we have changed owners, stadium, staff, training facilities, structure. Even the city has changed!! Tedious link, spun by bookies to take money. Most former players that become Managers, are taking the step up from the coaching / playing staff as they know the club ethos. See Sherwood, Guardiola, Hoodle, Mancini and a million others for examples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when MoN left we needed 3/4 quality players to move the club forward . Not the quantity dross Taylor brought. Same position now this appointment can move the club forward? We are in uncharted territory regarding ££££ , full stadiums ,premier league status, cat 1 academy status . Yes we have a lot of reasons to thank Pearson but he has gone . Laid the foundations ,sorry but Neil Lennon is not the answer , who is ? Who knows ... Take your blue tinted glasses off He left before ? HIS club on 35k a week in 2000 yes 35k a week . No thanks Lenny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 8 July 2015 Share Posted 8 July 2015 People who seriously think Lennon has a loyalty to LCFC are either being deliberately blind or have totally forgotton the end of his time here. He played for MON, not LCFC. Soon as MON went up North his performance level divebombed and he couldn't wait to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzaLCFC Posted 8 July 2015 Share Posted 8 July 2015 Damn I hate that song......Lennon needs more time in the championship. If we get him, he will not last. The club has moved on since the days of MON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffolk fox Posted 8 July 2015 Share Posted 8 July 2015 Is it coincidence that Lcfc are on a training camp in Austria next week? Bolton are also on the same training camp? Ideal time for the owners to approach and speak to Lennon. Lennon's right hand man is Gary Parker another Leicester legend. Some on this board are truly deluded, Lennon would be a good appointment for this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
