The Mighty Celtic...


Recommended Posts

Not hiding, just in from work and off to football with my son. Did not see the match, so I cannot comment. Obviously no happy with the outcome,  but that's football. We were not good enough. Simple...To be honest, we would have been humped in the CL, so Europa it is. Life goes on..

Left-back. 

Utterly bizarre. Didn't that happen in one of the OF games that Rangers won last season too? 

Why pay £3m for the new boy if he's worse than removing your best player from the midfield? 

No sense in it at all.

It's a possibility that Peter Lawwell bought one or two of the new players without Lennon's consent. There's chairmen who do that.

He has actually done this before. In 2008 he bought Rangers target Glenn Loovens just to send a GIRUY message to Ibrox. It was clear at the press conference to unveil the player that Gordon Strachan knew little about the player and didn't have plans for him,.

But I thought he was "Lenny" the guy who lives and breathes Celtic FC ?

He's a prick, a yes man and a dreadful, dreadful manager. Dreadful managers sets a team up like he done tonight, sends them out and hopes someone comes up with something, absolutely no idea how to exploit opposition teams properly. We went for the cheap option and we'll suffer for it. A big club with a small club mentality.

Fair enough.

Are there any realistic candidates to replace him that you'd consider ?

There were plenty in the summer we should have looked at. Clarke, Setein, Gasperini, Blanc, Marco Rose, Bilic, Cocu and that's only off the top my head.

Remember Lawell said he received plenty of cv's but didn't even bother looking at them, the man's a negligent idiot.

There will be plenty more performances like that throughout the season.

Think they still got the £25m, more a case of not adding another £15m in CL money. 

Seemingly nearer 25 million for CL Group Stages depending on results.  That has gone.  If they don't reach the group stages in Europa KT's transfer money will compensate but won't be the bonus it should have been.  Board will be raging but the buck stops with them.  Lennon will get hung out to dry but they went for the easy/cheap/unambitious option.  Strachan once said the wee guy sitting with a can of Kestrel and a whippet would do phone ins and social media thinking that they know more than an experienced manager.  I think in this case it is right.  Can't believe their best midfielder was put to left back.  A gift that was gladly received.
