Under performed ? What else could he have done ? Won the league 3 years was it in a row - lost one league match last season. That seems to be a decent season
Neil Lennon leaves Celtic

- Start date

If that's referring to my post then it was 'competition' I said.......bit more thought needed there perhaps?
If someone else posted opposition then yep, more thought needed there.

I was talking about the 3rd level EPL, Ist level Champs teams like WBA, Naaarwich, Palace, Fulham etc. who are the only realistic ones that would sign him.

They may take the risk on him but might prefer someone a bit more proven at a higher level

Same thing.....how come Celtic lost cup matches if there was no competition.

Because they are one off cup matches - upset happen on regular occasions.

So there must be some competition/opposition then, otherwise they would just have won everything they played in

Every team has "competition" when trying to win something -

Alright then, lack of competition of a similar or better quality in terms of international caps won for players and wages commanded appropriate to expected skill levels of said players.
Is that better?

That'll be the clubs that sign players for £6 million plus for fun and pay £30k a week for fun.
We have paid £4m once in the last 7 years for our Captain Scott Brown in 2007. I think I am right in saying our departed Boss remains our highest priced player bought at £6.5m........................ 14 years ago.
Their budgets are night and day to ours regardless of the fact that globally they are small fry in comparison.

I've read a lot of stuff about the character of Neil Lennon - and little of it was complimentary.
But my impression of him was that he is just a manager of Glasgow Celtic - with the usual 'overheads' that that position involves; demands it makes, and expectations of the position of Celtic at the top of Scottish football.
I haven't actually heard or read anything that confirms the poor opinion many seem to have of him. I therefore wonder whether the opinion is well-founded, or simply based upon what others say and what those who don't like Celtic, or anyone connected with the club, would like to think.
Maybe I just missed his outpourings of bile and invective.

Have done well selling players for a good bit of profit
The budgets will be smaller because the money in the game is smaller.
Whilst the league remains as it is the budgets will be small and you will suffer from lack of competition - will not help Celtic in Europe
Rangers back in the Prem would increase the interest a bit and bring in a bit more telly and sponsorship money - the league needs Rangers back there to get it competitive again
Bigotry......you missed out the B word.
That's the top and bottom of it let's not try and fool anyone here.

That's very strong indeed.
It is a fact.
The reason he is a hated man has nothing to do with his colour of hair and everything to do with the team he played for and managed and his nationality along with the roots of said football club.
Now for the ..."but but but's" .....no but's it is a fact that people try to ignore and sweep away.

Celtic run a tight ship financially.
They learned their lesson when McCann rescued them.
The wannabees in the EPL are all millions of pounds in debt.
Did I read somewhere that Liverpool lost £50m in a year?
Lennon wishes to join an ELP club that is willing to spend the money that the Celtic board denied him.
At least with Celtic he had a chance at European glory, fat chance of that for any club that is willing to sign him.

Neil Lennon was the type of bustling, hard tackling midfielder that fans love or hate in equal measure depending on whether he's in your team or not. Same thing applies to very many other players past and present.
Lots of fans took that same opinion of him when he went into management and his very demonstrative approach initially did little to dispel those views. Personally, I grew to respect him greatly for the way he conducted himself through experiences that nobody should have to suffer. And he did put together some successful sides, regardless of the level of competition domestically, including one very successful CL run.
Yes, bigotry has played a part but it's naive to think that's the be all and end all of it. Many people who have never had a bigoted thought in their lives still dislike him.

Between £40M and £50M each of the last 3 years!
And that's from a club that's not run as a toy!
