Neil Lennon

[Poguemahone]

“He was going to be brought in as No 2 when Johann Mjallby left,”

“He came highly recommended, he’s highly thought of. I don’t know if it’s confirmed with Celtic yet, but I know from contacts in the game that he is well respected as a coach.

“We recruited Stefan Johansen from Stromsgodset, so we were aware of his work. It’ll be interesting to see if Ronny gets the job.”

Interesting stuff from Neil who will be missed by a lot of Celtic Fans.

Mjallby resigning and then Neil still doesn't sit right wae me and probably a lot more to it knowing Celtic.

there is something very fishy about lenny and mjallby leaving.

lenny saying he needed a new challenge, thats utter pysh, he was well challenged in europe and the domestic cups, and there was ample room for improvement.

just cant understand why lenny wouldnt want tos tick around and win more silverware, then have a challenge when sevco hit the big time. thought he the would want to experience all that.

He had to leave this year because if he'd left next year some zoomers would have said that it was because he was scared of facing the might of sevco.

I reckon he thought he had a chance of a gig down south but got it badly wrong.

anyone who thinks he would be scared to meet the might of sevco should look at lennys old firm record which is actually superior to them in the head to head.

I agree. I think what's happened is he's called Lawell's bluff and threatened to leave, and the bold Ped has said on you go. Whatever happened, it was time for Lenny to leave.

Lenny would have been better leaving the season after we got to the last 16, said I've taken Celtic as far as I can, and I'm going to take some time out. He might be waiting to see how things go at Leicester at the start of next season before deciding what to do next.

Perception is everything though.

Which is why I think he should have left last year when he was perceived to be a decent manager off the back of one lucky result against Barcelona.

[happytim]

was that the one lucky result that got celtic an unprecedented 10 points in the champions league group phase.

Orange? He's not a Jimmy Calderwood look-alike is he?
