Neil Lennon leaves Celtic

I wonder is King Kenny will re-apply?
He's been out of work for quite a while now.

Seemed strange that Lennon's assistant Johan Mjallby resigned a couple of weeks ago saying he wanted a managers job.
He looked the part, but it would be a big step up.
Larrson looks to be out of the frame.

King Kenny has a job and has had it a while
 
I was just going to post this link. A very interesting read and a huge part of the reason NL was happy to leave. In my opinion. The levels of abuse, death threats and assaults that NL was subjected to no one should have to endure .

I totally agree and the dignified way he dealt with all that helped me completely revise my opinion of him. It's a good article, and pretty true, the only thing I would say is that it paints a very black and white picture. There are some people who dislike Neil Lennon without having any sectarian reason. Which is not in any way meant to diminish condemnation of the sectarian bile he has been subjected to.
 
Not condoning any abuse he got I really am not, death threats (albeit from a couple of clowns) should never happen, never, but he really didn't do himself any favours......

Orange (infraction)? Really Neil, then you complain when you get abused? Hypocrite? Double standards?

Martin O'Neill never endured the abuse popcorn teeth did, nor Tommy Burns and I could go on. Why is that?

As for the article, it doesn't mention any of the antagonistic things NL done, why is that? No mention of the round of applause he got when laying a wreath at the Ibrox disaster memorial either.

If he left for these reasons why wait until now? Why not go when the abuse happened?

Truth is, he never left for these reasons, but it's a good deflection (its the Celtic way) from the reality that he does not believe Celtic are big enough for him and his ambition. That is the real reason he left. Hard to accept but true nonetheless.

Also, I note no one has responded to the Leicester City fan who indicated he wasn't well liked down there despite being a good servant to the club. Why is that? Can you not work the bigot sectarian angle into the reply?


For what it's worth I don't think he will ever manage a club as big as Celtic, who are a huge club btw (only a fool wouldn't acknowledge that.......oh wait..)

Imo of course.

He brought it all on himself.

Not in the least bit surprised by your post,not one iota.

Not what I said at all.

Not a surprising response though. I've noticed when the questions posed can't be answered its straight on to defensive mode, either that or its insinuations that you're a bigot.
 
Pretty much spot on from what I've cringeingly observed!

There's a few eejits on 'the other side', but without them it would just be the unseen bullying and oppression that actually occurs in many less visible areas.

Never ceases to amaze me how un-christian some supposed 'Christians' can be.



My mum always said 'too many Protestants and Catholics, not enough Christians'.

That was my Grandmother's expression too. And she was hardly a moderate - she ran the county Orange Order, amongst a few other 'lobby' and communal groups!
