Fog of stress begins to lift from Lennon

980

A line has hopefully been drawn under the stress Neil Lennon has lived under during the last two years with the conviction of two men found guilty of sending bombs in the post.  In a statement, Neil said: This has been a very stressful and difficult time for myself and my family and clearly I am glad that it is over”, before adding, “I will forever be thankful to the Police for the way in which they have handled this matter.”

Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell, added: “No one could imagine the pressure [Neil Lennon] has been under during the past two years.  He has coped with this particular episode, last year’s assault and the, at times, seemingly unrelenting attacks from many quarters.

“In my opinion, no-one in Scottish footballing history has had to contend with this level of pressure whilst trying to do their job.  Neil Lennon is someone who has shown tremendous character and resilience, and we will continue to support Neil in any way we can.”

This month has been made all the more difficult for Neil Lennon by the sudden death of Paul McBride, also a target of the bombing campaign.  Neil Lennon said, “Finally, I would like to mention my good friend Paul McBride.   His sad passing remains very raw to those close to him, we continue to miss him dearly and my thoughts remain very much with Paul’s family.”

The SFA have written to Neil Lennon three times since the start of the trial earlier this month to capitalise on perceived transgressions by the Celtic manager while yesterday a former referee used his newspaper column to undermine Neil’s position at Celtic.

These people really do need to get a grip.

Within minutes of the verdict being announced yesterday news of Stilian Petrov’s serious illness was made public.  Stilian will received the very best medical attention and all our prayers.

    In spite of the fantasy sound proofing they have tried to instal, what they are hearing is the sound of reality marching to the beat of its own drum.

    ========================

     

     

    The administrators are ” Boiling the frog. ”

     

     

    This is a method commonly used by people such as Craig Whyte and Toxic Jack.

     

     

    What does it mean ?……Basically, it consists of starting with relative optimism and is followed by slowly drip by drip giving out the bad news.

     

     

    A frog that is thrown in boiling water immediately jumps back out but a frog that is placed in water and is heated up until it boils, is cooked.

    If they go into liquidation, it’s not even a question of relegation.

     

     

    The parrot is dead, ceases to exist, kaput.

     

     

    Relegation?

     

    Dream on.

  7. Re the EBTs irrespective of any side letters the liability ceases when the indvidual leaves the employ of the organisation. This is why such a scheme would be perfectly suited for a short term football contract.

     

     

    Apart,obviously, from the lack of trust on both sides. failure to follow the HMRC rules. Failure to follow SFA rules. etc

    I think you will find that they are indeed relegated, then stripped of their league membership and football license, after which they cease to be.

    Probably his shirt number when he played for the big club?

     

     

    Lenny’s was 18.

    They have had the bad luck that this has come to a head at a time where public pressure has never been so great in demanding that those at the top pay their way as much as those at the bottom.

     

    My heart goes out to them

  14. Sixteen roads to Golgotha on

    I can still remember the days when Celtic players wore their team/squad numbers on the shorts.

     

     

    Unique.

  15. TLWIO

     

     

    But if they know it’s inevitable then they might be inclined to engineer a set of circumstances where our manager is seen to be denied his moment of justified glory by being in the stand and the back and front pages of the press are stained red white and blue, that scenario annoys the life out of me.

     

    I agree any newco should start again in a new stadium on a new site in Div 3 and that the SFAs role in all this is laid bare so that reform or starting again is compelling for everyone to see but i too don’t hold out much hope that things are going to change.

    Geez. Missed your earlier post. Kojo brought it to my attention.

     

     

    I bet not much gets past you.

  18. will liquidation equate to de facto relegation

     

     

    if so there is no place for the new co

  19. Stan always did well against TFOD. I think he didn’t shine so much on the European stage.

     

    I could never work out why he was so upset on the day of the title winning party in 2006. It seems now that he signed a new contract so that Celtic could get a decent fee.

     

    Maybe it was just he and WGS didn’t get on?

    Reform on all fronts is unavoidable. It’s that or Scottish football will be in perpetual nose dive.

     

    Scottish football s biggest handicap by a country mile are about to go out of business, freeing the way for the re-birth minus the biggest problem.

    Watched 6-2 game again, loved the way Stan threw himself to meet the ball.!

     

    Hated it when Stan decided to leave only because he was a pivotal player in my favourite hoops team, a quality guy, player and person!

     

    Stan Petrov I pray for you!

     

     

     

    On a lesser topic, I am sure no one on planet celtic truly believed Murderwell would get a point today, prior to game I’m sure 12 goals against and 1 for, the lottery a better bet!!!
