Looks like Lennon has been a naughty boy again!

Sacking coming up after a training ground bust up and then a fight with club officials yesterday.
 
To me, Lennon always seemed to give Hibs the impression that they were lucky to have him as a manager.
Certainly weakened the team in his time there.
Hibs will be a good job for a decent young manager. Perhaps Lee McCulloch.

Lennon seems to be a very angry man. Is there any way back for him in Scotland or has this burnt his bridges?

There is nothing concrete in the news yet but rumours are that he called Leeanne Dempster, the Hibs Chief Executive a rather derogatory homophobic name during the bust up are now circulating.

How true all this is I don't know and I would think Hibernian FC would do well and come out of this better by keeping the bust up in house regardless of the outcome.

I'm assuming the suspension and short delay before he is dismissed is to go the gross misconduct route and so avoid a pay-off to Lennon.
 
Exiting weekend ahead......only 3 points between the top four clubs.
Plus a relegation contest opening up for the bottom three

Good win for Ayr last night puts them back in the promotion mix.

Weakened? He got them promoted then finished 4th the year after. The only people that weakened Hibs was those who sold his top players

That always happens at Scottish clubs, you are guaranteed to lose your top players. Even Celtic and Rangers these days.
Managers like Tommy Wright plan accordingly so, weaken yes, Lennon did not buy well and his academy/youth players failed to step up.
 
Having watched Aberdeen Kilmarnock yesterday I just don't get the plaudits that come their way. Kilmarnock are an absolutely dreadful footballing side.

I've never in my life witnessed a team at Pittodrie fail to have an attack or a shot all day!!!! Even Stenhousemuir had a shot at Pittodrie and scored!

Credit that they close down quickly and they "spoil" the game but for a team currently in second spot having beaten a big spending Sevco team midweek I expected a decent game of football. Some attacking football, maybe even an entertaining game. Absolutely dreadful, eyes bleeding stuff.
 
I watched Kilmarnock twice last year at Rugby Park,
I was very impressed with their play.
Very solid defensively and they break at great speed [except Chris Boyd of course]

Yesterday's game had scoreless draw written all over it, wind and rain not helping.
 
Strachan being touted for the Hibs job.
Can't see that one working out well.

Make the derby games interesting though. Two former Scotland managers against each other. Ferocious banter.:love:

Hibs fan. He was always going to be in the frame, whether he's interested or not is another matter.
 
Well said Steve Clarke but it will fall on deaf ears as it has done for years!

Both halves of the bigot brothers have had countless chances to try to eradicate it but usually bury their heads in the sand and pretend not to hear it going on at their respective grounds and in away stands across the country.

We will get the usual lip service from the SFA but at same time probably find a way to sanction Clarke for daring to speak out against it and he will end up charged with bringing the game into disrepute!!

Then we will be having the same discussion again in a few years saying “something should have been done the last time when Steve Clarke spoke out about it”
