Neil Lennon's managerial record is nowhere near as bad as some want to make out.   

It’s poor at best

Stadium needs to be unbearable Saturday if he’s still here. I’m talking chants against him from minute one, even if we take the lead continue. 
 

I don’t think enough people realise that keeping him here as manager is akin to toying with the very existence of the club. 
 

We can, with the right manager and a couple of January signings to inject some pace into the side, salvage this season. But to salvage it a change has to happen now.

Haha, had to double check it wasn't the 1st of April.

 

You know how this works.

 

They will all get a hero's welcome, perhaps the odd pocket of anti Martin chants. 

 

If we lose - Repeat the following week.

 

If we win - all the mongies re surface in this forum telling us patience is paying off, and we arent real fans for wanting him sacked.

It’s a better average than Martin.. granted he’s managed more games and maybe at a similar / slightly lower level than Martin.

[filbertway]

The most annoying part of having Martin as our manager atm, is seeing "Us Rangers fans told you so" on every Martin related post on social media. It was funny at first, but my god they're relentless.

 

Most of them may not have been aware of him as a manager when he signed for them, but I'm fairly sure most Leicester fans will have been painfully aware of Martin for much longer then the past 18 months.

Saturday there was more like 23-24K

Definitely wasn't. The ground was pretty much full barring the posh seats.

 

Easily 30k fans there considering that Peterborough had about 3.5k fans.

Average at Dunfermline.

 

Sh*te at Bolton.

 

Sh*te in Cyprus

 

Sh*te in Romania.

 

You just can’t judge him on the Celtic job.

 

Hibs? Average.

Managed a ~20% win rate in his only job south of the border.

 

He'd be a woeful choice.

True but Bolton were almost in administration. Not a fair gig to judge him with any certainty.

Sorry but you’re wrong.

 

There was 2K empty seats in the family stand and north west corner alone.

I was at the ground and only had my eyes to go off but if you've got the stats feel free to share.

 

The ground looked full to the eye without many in level 1 of the West Stand or the restaurant seats in the top of the corner between the west stand/family stand.

 

Definitely far more than 24k.

Just ask a senior steward or Cop and they will more often than not give you the numbers through the doors.

Rob Edwards I think would be alright.

Unless it’s Dyche, this club needs an energetic manager who’s gonna get the players playing forward.

 

Again, unless it’s Dyche this club needs someone to come in and give the players freedom to attack, create and counter attack.

 

We need to be pressing and taking risks when attacking/counter attacking.

 

Rob Edwards isn’t that. 

[winteriscoming]

Only these clowns could reportedly look at Lennon and Edwards when Challinor is readily available. 
 

You couldn’t make it.

I thought Edwards teams were all about high pressing and all about the transition and turnover of the ball within 5 seconds of loss?

Didn’t show it at Wolves and Boro played better without him

In fairness, his Boro side were overachieving and then he was replaced with, in my opinion, the current best coach outside the premier league. So yes, they did technically play better without him, but he did absolutely fine there.

 

He won’t drop to league 1 though.

Yeah that's fair but when given time to build a formation I thought he had a rep to be decent man manager in terms of building a team spirit and culture. He plays 3 atb with wing backs and two up top a la Shinji Vardy style I thought.

That’s what I was thinking Dyche would be perfect. But unfortunately he mates with Vardy so Rudkin won’t like that 

[Samilktray]

Just really depressing that we've fallen to a point where Dyche would be both an upgrade, and completely unobtainable for us. Just makes you sick it really does

Dyche is on record saying he's mates with Rudkin.

Need someone who's head isnt in the clouds and ready to rip up the philosophy and look at where we are now. Unfortunately that person unlikely to be appointed whilst current board/ownership in place. 

Every manager appointed is worse than the last one. We may have to ride it out for a while if can paper over cracks. Very sad to say.
