If I’m being magnanimous, Brendan made no secret of the fact that he wanted to return to the English Premier League. When he was here, he won everything available to him domestically and proved that you can please all of the people all of the time. We want managers to be ambitious, honest and successful and that’s what we got.
It rankles that his timing was so poor, a day before we visit Tynecastle on league duty and five days before we visit Easter Road in the Cup. Brendan saw little compensation in Moussa Dembele’s success here, or ambition, when he engineered his exit at a bad time for the manager, the same is true now. Celtic knew nothing of this before yesterday and have a major job on their hands to ensure the quest for the treble treble remains on course.
Neil Lennon is likely to be announced as interim manager. We are fortunate to have as an experienced hand available. If anyone knows how to take a Celtic team to Edinburgh, it’s Neil. Plans for next season will continue in the background, but Neil will be asked to deliver the treble and nothing will be allowed to distract him or the players from that objective.
I have heard from a few CQN’ers who are surprised today, but we should know better. This is football, managers and players are highly paid professionals, all the badge thumping in the world does not change that. Exceptions are rare.
Best of luck to you, Brendan, and thanks for the trebles. You could have held out for better than Leicester, but there’s every chance you’ll keep them in the division for many years.

The club survived Willie Maley, Jock Stein and Martin O’ Neil leaving, we’ll survive Rodgers.
Welcome back Lenny here’s to the Treble!

Brendan who? Oh aye, he brought success and now passes the mantle to a proper Celtic Mhan that will deliver a real ‘rebel treble treble’
I’m actually really looking forward to the football Lenny will have us playing with the squad we have.
Hail Hail Neil Francis Lennon – something inside so strong ????☘️
I wonder if the rat was actually a vulture circling Claude Puel over the past few weeks. What class. As for giving his life to Leicester, what a brass neck. Ah well, no more listening to his mumbo jumbo shyte about work and levels. I’ve never heard anyone talk so much shyte about the game. He invented his own language.
Lenny tomorrow in the dugout and Broonie on the Tynecastle pitch – I’m looking forward to this.
We are always at our best in times of adversity.
The Scoddish establishment, represented by the referee, will turn the screw. They will be going for it in ragtime now we have been knifed in the back by our own manager. The mini-huns will be smelling blood as well.
But this is where we prove ourselves.
I’d give bloody anything to be there tomorrow. Will be watching in a pub in Oslo, willing the goals to go in.
Put the betrayal behind us and move on. Treble treble is there – and imagine the joy when Lenny lifts it!
Having ruminated for a few hours, I now believe Brendan Rodgers to be a selfish, self serving, dishonest, insincere, cowardly, craven, manipulative bastard.
He abused Moussa Dembele, who had obviously been recruited on a “ window” of CL exposure and when Rodgers failed to deliver he tried to blame Moussa.
He abused all real Celtic supporters with his money grabbing £20 a shot autobiography.
Claiming to be one of us.
Today he proves he is, and very likely, never has been one of us.
Fuck Brendan Rodgers.
Support Celtic.

Ive seen it all now.
First we had at least PL never walked out on us.
Now your praising John Kennedy and Damian Duff for staying.
The truth is no club has given them a better offer elsewhere and that might just might tell you something.
Where’s all the premiership offers for our CEO?

Well said mate…
Hopefully the rat will in the dugout when john McGinn takes the field next year – in some mid table Championship clash of the sleeping giants and the crisp factory team.

Short and selective memory as suits your argument.
PL could have gone to Arsenal and Manchester City approx 10 years ago. The Arsenal one was very well publicised at the time I recall.
Well one thing you can certainly say about the quisling, he’s certainly
brought P67’s blog back to life again.
Never seen so many posts, and new nom de bloggers.
Time now to get together and back Lenny the legend.

“The truth is no club has given them a better offer elsewhere and that might just might tell you something”
I have no idea if that is THE truth or YOUR truth.
I am grateful that they stayed and so is Lenny- that’s good enough for me.
As for PL, I expressed my views already- I don’t care if he stays or goes- we’ll just have another scapegoat along to replace him.

Nice one ole EuroChamps.hh
So, all calm now?
Perspective, Brendan won 7 trophies in a row. Well done.
A bit of history there.
And we bring back Neil Lennon.
C’mon? In this run in who other than Lenny will be able to stand up to the pressure they will inflict on him to deliver a Treble Treble?
Another wee thought, with Steve Clarke exposure of the racist rancid bigots how long before one of the Klan have a go at NFL? Either at a game, or in the street.
He needs nothing less than our absolute support.
The authorities should also be looking out for him.
Love Ya Lenny, welcome Home.
Nothing less.
Despite my interpretation of the slight delivered by BR…
I’ll never diminish his brilliant achievements.
I’ll never assassinate his character (teeth or tan;)
I’ll never get hunlike with churlish, childlike jibes at him.
I’ll remain grateful for what he did, and will look to the future whoever gets the job.
Brendan was a man who came to do a job – did most of it – and left (I hope he realises) too early.

Nuestadt, I really love your quirky posts but the last one wasn’t your best.
Not Braw at all.
One thing I won’t miss about BR
Our ‘defending’ in Europe!!!!!
HH jg
sorry Corky …if the mods are aboot …tak it doon
Braw
BR massively overrated. Good domestically for sure, but then we’ve not had any competition since the death of the hun. The first real challenge from newco under zero managerial experience gerrard and ….we got played off the park at the Victorian lavvies a few weeks ago.
Quite simply atrocious in Europe unable to learn from repeated and heavy pumpings.
Spent a fortune on diddys…couldn’t sort out the defence for toffee ….and worse, big Boyata, a guy who should have been shown the door, another overrated prick, ripped the baws aff him. No animosity at all…he was always going to walk this summer I thought.
Welcome home Lenny, unfinished business for you.
Something for the mhan of the moment, Something inside……..

I highly doubt the PL to Arsenal, but as you say it was in the papers.?
10 years ago, seems a long time, why no other offers?
Look i get the anger towards BR but in 48 hours he has gone from winning 7 trophies in a row to a 1 dimensional, can’t manage in Europe dud who will get Leicester relegated.
Couldn’t believe it last night, and still couldn’t get my head around it today, why someone, who could have left Celtic with his own statue outside, dropped us so quickly for leicester, i mean what the actual fck leicester…. ? Well at least his european record will improve, as they wont be in europe.
Celtic fan my arz, you’d have to drag me from parkhead screaming and kicking, all the way down to there, i care not if the CEO made me bring him coffee on my knees each morning, if you’re truly a fan, the Celtic manager job is one you keep until you die, or get fired.
Truth be told i for one was sick of see-ing our team humiliated in CL, Celtic should be the top club in the world, and if it were not for the EPL/Europe TV sponsorship money and we were on a level par with the others, and could compete financially, i’ve no doubt we would be.
I was also pissed most weeks when our saviour BR, said sweet fanny adams about cheating, …refs have a hard time ? seriously ???
Not even a cheep when that wee columbian coke sniffer had stamps, punches elbows and boots at broonies haw maws, a real fan would have gone turbo with that, and please don’t try telling me he was told not to be provocative, it never stopped him having digs about McGinn or shev, when it suited his own agenda.
Well played BR, enjoy your “new” love, you can even replace their mascot… Filbert Fox.
It was the Celtic team that brought us success, lenny will know that.
Welcome back NFL ..COYBIG

Jeepers Bhoys, my heart will be really pumping come kick off time tomorrow.
How much sweeter will this treble be if we win it from here with Lenny at the helm.
Imagine the state of the currants if Lenny stays for 10?
Not a good morning QUADRO
I think i’m with you in this, i don’t want his tan to peel off
or his teeth to fall out it’s childish right enough.
Maybe a wee bit of hairloss though 8-)))))

Some amount of garbage been written today, most of it justified tho ;-)
Anyways, a massive welcome to Lenny, no better man to see us through this crap, balls of titanium has Lenny.
Really looking forward to swinecastle the morra, will be interesting to say the least.
I wonder how we’ll all be feeling this time tomorrow night?
Elated I hope but, if not, let’s not panic and keep faith that Lenny will come through for us.

Hence his lack of pace and few goals throughout an otherwise-illustrious career?
Right. Bedtime. I went to bed last night a Tim. This morning I awoke as a Tim. There are few greater blessings than that. If I’m spared, I’ll do the same tomorrow.

Good evening all from Dublin. Neil Lennon deserves our full support. He is now the manager of the greatest football team in the world.
