tom27111 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Lennon must be getting the job... Betfair is 20/21 Or it could be the fact that people believe rumours and what they read in the tabloids, so they've put money on it? If anyone was ITK, the odds wouldn't be that generous, betting would be suspended. It's still giving money away from the bookies point of view.

lgfualol Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 I really hope we aim higher than him. It seems like it will most likely be Lennon though. An appointment that does not give me confidence since he wasn't that great at Bolton. He'll be under immense pressure if we've not picked up many points by the end of August.

Wymsey Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Hasn't done anything to warrant a big, upwards-moving club like us. Also, he seems to have a very short-temper in him, which could affect the players mentality. So, hope it's not him tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goober Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Lennon seemed to have a decent scouting system in place at Celtic? players like Wanyama, Izaguirre, Van Dijk signed under him on the cheap. Im guessing thats probably largely down to Celtic's own system though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagworthblue Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 can we change the name of this thread to 'The majority of us really don't want Lennon' it's only cos it's likely the owners will make a fan appeasing appointment and given the junk in the papers where journalist are assuming cos of our connection, he would be a popular choice, I am worried they will get this seriously wrong! Take to social media buddies and spread the word!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Really hope this is true, as I'm looking forward to trolling the trolls if this happens. Expect rambling, incoherant calls for his sacking as soon as he loses a game, plenty of #LennonOut and lots of shouting down anyone who disagrees and decrying his fans as 'Lennonites'.

Narborough_fox Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 I hope, and think, we can do better than Lennon. A lot of people only look at the Barcelona win at Celtic and assume he did a good job. He'd have been out of a job in 2 years if Rangers weren't in financial meltdown and he never won the treble that, in all honesty, he should have with the squad he had. He's not really shown anything that suggests he's a decent Championship manager yet, either. He got them out of trouble with a very good run of form when he took over but he's now lost more games than he's won there, and only won 2 of the last 10 games there. If we do appoint him it just seems like the owners trying to win back the fans with a similar appointment to Pearce at Forest. He'll be getting the job on the strength of his playing CV rather than his management CV. If he keeps Walsh and Shakespeare (highly unlikely) then it may well work out but there's nothing that's suggesting this would be the right appointment for the Football Club.

Ricey Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 I'd be shocked if there's anything in this. It's clear we had no one lined up when Pearson got the boot on Tuesday night and a shortlist would be drawn up. It is now Thursday lunch time and people really believe we are close to appointing someone? Knowing the owners as we do, they are bound to approach some big names on the off-chance they fancy it (Klopp, Hiddink etc) and they always offer it to O'Neill. The odds are down to the recent articles saying he is the front-runner and some mentions in those articles that he would be interested (which have probably come from the man himself).

Wortho Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 He is a Leicester legend so can't stand is a bit strong, I will always love the guy and what he did for Leicester I just don't want him managing our club It is more his antics and boorish behaviour in Scotland that annoyed me. I agree he was good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Dennis Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Imperative the club stays up next season with the financial rewards up for grabs, it is therefore utter madness to be employing an unproven manager at this stage, irrespective of how good he was as a player, Roy Keane anyone? Stability is key, a team of Shakespeare/Walsh/Cambiasso would do nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wortho Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Quite an interesting article that was. I forgot about some of the ways Lennon tried to influence referees, and nearly causing a referees strike. I wonder how the owners would react if Lennon was to appointed, and he repeated some his horrible behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question As much as I don't think he's up to the job, if he's announced then of course I'll get behind him. The only appointment I'd genuinely not back is Sean Dyche, and that's because of his comments in the Media about the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
