Look guys – and at the risk of getting another error message – there is no way our board will get a good experienced manager. There are two reasons for this:
1) They wont spend the money
2) More crucially they will never employ someone who will stand up to them – never.
Its only the supporters who can change it – we need to force the changes we need
vinniebhoyCharlie Austin– is he not the 6 million dollar man????

The reality of the situation is that you now wouldn’t be confident playing any team in the SPL. Our wage bill must be triple Hibs, they played with heart, we do our playing in media interviews. How far behind must we fall before enough is enough. We are playing like a mid table SPL side coming out with the odd good performance but unable to show any consistancy. I understand the lads who say Keep the Faith, we all have been saying it all our lives but the present set up is simply not working. I for one have had enough, I love you Neil but please go.
Neg Anon 2 17.47 I dont disagree with what you have written but what comes to my mind is that turkeys wont vote for Christmas .To remove D.D. will take a huge united effort from the support but im afraid were not united and many Celtic fans think the situation can be turned around.H.H.
Just back from the game.
Any signs of a slow return to form were cruelly extinguished today, especially in the second half.
There had been a few signs of inventiveness from Stokes & Hooper early on but the ball arrived with them so rarely that we never got the chance to test them often enough.
And, though Hibs were equally poor our right flank was exposed worryingly again as Griffiths replicated what Sproule had done last Wednesday.
All in all, we are dripping too many points for comfort this season. Neil may have to be ruthless with those that do not have the mental strength to cope with our home crowd. Only Charlie and Victor showed that mental toughness today.
I am not an advocate of sacking or boycotting but Neil will have to shake up his team somehow.
I am very disappointed but I’m not staying on here to get into fights with good Celtic men. But be careful of some of the names appearing here- they are proven enemies of Celtic, prepared to sleep with our enemies, whether that be Rangers or the Daily Record, whilst advocating that we harm ourselves financially.

Listen get rid of Lenny and who do we get???
No point spouting shoite to get rid of him, but what top class managers will come to CP to work under the conditions Lenny has to work under?
None, nada, zero, zilch!
Until the board strategy changes, nothing changes…….
Lenny will resign when he thinks its time to go, he definately will not be sacked.
100% correct
Kevin …. What rubbish you spout!
Strachan won us 3 titles out of 4 on limited resources
First manager since stein to win 3-in-a-row
Last 16 of champions league for the first time not once but twice
Brought us the likes of nakamura,Boruc,jvoh caldwell,Skippy, Robson as cost effective strategy from our board
Show a bit more respect !!
He could fix this!!

MON has turned down Leicester
get on the phone to this man and give him whatever wages he wants
perfect for this job, bounce in give the whole place a lift tell (good players to be honest) that they are the best etc etc
win win for MON as well, not his squad so if he loses the league so what, if he wins it, it just adds to the legend
and if he does come
Lawell will be out as well
for us win win as well
Havanalaugh – you are indeed havin a laff

We might get a manager who acts and behaves like a manager of Celtic FC instead of a supporter who struck it lucky
RIP Jimmy Saville
owz about that then, guys & gals ???
Now then,Now then, Now then!
Dont worry the rangers going bust gang will be on soon.
Aff for a few jars
Looking increasingly likely no.1 managerial choice, summer 2009, will be available soon.
tamrabam
Me too m8, jam tomorrow don’t work.
We may well unearth a gem now and again, but the money we are wasting on wages for the deadwood is outsrtiping any big transfer deal, Aiden was the last, all that money has been wasted on the crap we have on the books.
Lenny is working with his hands tied behind his back, of that I have no doubt.

I cannot countenance self immolation.
What really bugs me at the moment, is what has changed from last season?
What has happened to the pace and movement?
Where has the self confidence and belief disappeared to?
Where has the pride and passion been left?
Do we need to have a siege mentality to ensure we all pull together and support the team, the manager and the club itself?
Based on last season it would appear so.

KINGLUBO
do you think that lambo would leave his project at norwich to come and manage us?
they are eighth in the league and came back from 3-1 down today for a draw. there is no doubt that he’s got some savvy but can we count on the lure of ex-players? serious question.
Gutless.
Please , please do not use the excuse of tired players. Its embarrassing. Its October ffs.
I have never felt so down at any Celtic game……there is something not right at all here…..the Board need to get to the bottom of what’s going on…..the players weren’t even near to matching Hibs for basic effort……here we have rankers going out of business and we can’t even put them under any kind of additional pressure….!!!!
We need an experienced manager in now, with Neil as his assistant (MON ’til the end of the season, at least….????)
Neganon? What is your blueprint?
Have you a Craig Whyte lined up?
WHO do you have in mind?
Is it somebody who will had us a £30m transfer kitty out his own personal wealth?
Change? The only change we need …..
Ah forget it
Boycotts???
Shame on you
And .. presently, we only hiv Players who wanna Crouch Behind the Couch..till
the Ninety Minutes are Up..and Hope that Naebuddy Noticed!

the board havnt the guts to bankroll an experienced manager……………..
——————————————————————————————————————-
EXACTLY !!!
When will the penny drop amongst the rank and file of Celtic fans that, once the board/CEO have Your money, You don’t matter!
We as Celtic fans have to save ‘our’ club from these charlatans! IMO!
Let me ask all true Celtic supporters on here tonight and give me a truthful answer
If you were lucky enough to fall into the managers job at Celtic park and the results and the performances were at a level they are now would you step aside in the hope that a better man could be found for the job
neg Anon
The boards only mistakes is making two bad managerial appointments.
Fortunately the fiscal policy means we are not holed below the water line and as a company we are in good health. We will recover from this relatively quickly.
We need to appoint a good manager.
Beginning, middle and end of the debate.
Gutted!
Yes, we have injuries and a back four that chops and changes every game BUT we had more than enough talent in the team on the park today to wipe the floor with any other SPL 11.
What is going wrong? There is a malaise running through the team. The youngest and least experienced bhoy on the pitch is the one who is carrying the others. No leaders!!!
Today was reminiscent of last week against Aberdeen. Dull, boring and predictable. Why didn’t we try to change our approach / tactics / formation??? Probably because we don’t have anyone in the dug-out who knows how to turn things around.
I am a big Neil Lennon fan – we share a surname!!! I have always been behind him but even though my heart was delighted when he was appointed manager, my head said no. The Celtic manager position should NEVER be occupied by a novice. I would LOVE it if Neil could turn the corner and start to get some convincing performances out of the team (even though the league has gone) but in my heart, I think his time is up.
The problem now is who would want to take the job should it become available? I don’t buy into all of the stuff about it being one of the biggest and best jobs in world football – that was in our glorious past. The reality of the situation is that ours is still one of the biggest global brands in the game but we are a poor team in a poor league and 12 points behind a dire local rival and have a board who refuse to invest when it is needed most.
Having said all of that, I will still be there at every home league game and will give my 100% support – but Saturdays are not the same anymore.

That’s my newly married wife off the phone asking me if I have gone to Cuba to hand roll those. fags. I love her ability to retain and return my cutting jibes. So I have to go. Sorry I can’t stay on and debate. Let’s keep the focus on the extinction of the hun for now.
Standing up for Neil Lennon.
Neil,
If you are of a mind to step down. Stay where you are until the summer.

Listened to Lenny’s post match interview on Shortbread and “tiredness” was one of the possible explanations that he gave.
Except that he sounded like he didn’t really believe it himself.
pauloantony
wgs started to empty CP
wgs spent as much on transfer fees in 4 years as MON did in 5 years
the wage bill when wgs left was higher than when mon left
so i dont believe that he had meagre resources
in fact in some season he spent more on players than all SPL sides added together
WRT the last 16 – big eck got there before us with 7 points, and he was hardly a genius either
When WGS arrived our euro coefficient was pretty damn good, but ask yourself what it was when he left?
no no no no a million times no to WGS. Anyway if the park continues to empty it wouldnt matter if we brought in jose himself because we couldnt spend a bean
how many Season books do you think we will sell next season if the huns win 4 in a row while in admin with a 10 point deduction

Your starting to sound like….Comical Ali!!!
Wake-up and, Smell The Glove!
Calling on MON wouldn’t change anything.
He wouldn’t get the necessary funds to turn things around.
No point in bankrupting ourselves anyway.
The SPL is a dire and corrupt league.
I’ll tell you what needs to happen!
WE need to change!
WE chased one of THE most successful Celtic managers out the door because WE didn’t like the style in how he WON titles!!!
we lauded the appointment of Mowbray embracing the new style that he would bring???
HE ripped the heart out our team and a short term solution was found in Lenny… But what he endured last season meant that the board had to gamble on him this year…
WE think that throwing money at a rookie manager is the answer???
He was a gamble and a gamble that hasn’t worked !
The NEXT experienced manager will spend
sorry Mickbhoy I have added a y by mistake
Kevin…
So the board only want our cash.
You are an idiot
I feel like today was the day we lost the league.

would you trust those who have made the two bad managerial appointments to make another managerial appointment?
I am afraid to say that I have just lost faith in Neil Lennon’s ability to manage Celtic Football Club.
The nagging doubt I have had about this since his appointment was abated when his teams bitch slapped Walters Myths during a glorious 3 month spell at the start of 2011. But there has been no progress since then. Not that I can see.
And the lack of organisation on the park is there for all to see. You’d have to be blind not to see it. I hate to give any credit to the Orcs but I watched a bit of their game today and when they lose the ball their midfield are back in no time in a recognisable formation in front of their back four. Space is at a premium for attacking teams. It’s basic stuff but if your players are also that X amount better than the opposition then it wins you most games. This is what is meant by earning the right to play/ win in the SPL. You have to work hard.
It amazes me that Neil Lennons teams often look lazy and disorganised. I hate saying this but that is what I see.
I was encouraged against Rennes and Hibs midweek but stated that we need a four or five game winning streak before we can announce any new found confidence in the team. We just don’t seem able to do it.
If the board and Neil decide to tough it out then I’ll support the team regardless and I will be willing him to turn it round but it is, as someone else stated on here last week, getting like Paul Le Guen.
I don’t like our great club being laughed at. Especially as we are also about to be shafted, yet again by the cheating ways of the establishment club.
Could they have believed their luck in how incompetently Celtic have thrown away league after league?
God I am starting to sound like all the posters I have criticised in the past for negativity but I am going to have to admit that I have been wrong about the footballing operations at Celtic Park.
Sorry Neil but I think you should walk away. Go and serve your apprenticeship somewhere else. If it works out and you still want it then maybe we’ll meet again in a few years.
Tommy Burns had enough humility to come back as assistant and coach having previously been manager. How often has that happened anywhere at any club? I thin k we miss a Tommy Burns figure really badly. Yes, Neil is a Celtic man but Tommy was the real heart and soul type of Celtic man who is a rarity among those employed by the club. His love of Celtic was bigger than his ego.
It’s a pity more of the current squad never knew him.
