However, a couple of wins and things will be better. I have always put my trust in the manager but I am not too blind to see he has issues.
If the club turned round tonight and said they backed the manager and had no intention of sacking him however were giving him a month off to get his head together and recharge the batteries I would be delighted with that. It would show leadership and recognise things aren’t right just now. I think Lennon is a good manager but I don’t think he’s getting things right just now.Quote:

If there’s a potential solution for this problem without sacking him we should be exploring that option.
If this was something the club did then the club and Lennon get my full respect and support.Quote:

How does a responsible employer deal with this in 2018?
Now a professional football club in the spotlight of the media and with a demanding fan/customer base isn't like an ordinary employer.
The first team manager is central to everything on the pitch. A normal employer couldn't ditch an employee whose performance has dropped due to a bout of depression for example without trying to assist that individual, usually sick leave would be a normal course of action, why should a football club be any different?
For what it's worth I suspect that the graffiti has had a deeper impact on Neil than being hit by the coin.
I feel that neither the club, media or even the police addressed it in any shape or form.
Lennon himself made reference to the graffiti, he viewed as being racist and representing a culture in Scottish society that just isnt being addressed properly.
Look at the response to a banana skin being thrown onto the pitch in the North London Derby and compare that to our response to an open death threat contrived from a culture of accepted sectarianism or racism that we have here.
When Leeann and the budgie cosied up together to condem coins, punches and flares, the more powerful graffiti should also have been addressed.
The media quoted Lennons views on our society but did nothing about questioning those comments, poor poor stuff from them.
Really hoping Lenny doesn't do the post-match presser now.
He didn’t [emoji6]Quote:

We hear a lot about game management.
Our ridiculous context is that we have a bit of an insane amount of games in short space.
Lennon needs to manage himself around that so he’s on top of his game
if that means skipping potentially energy sapping conferences getting embroiled with media looking to poke the bear and it get me in the way of resting and moving on to next game, so be it.
Here is the thing LD should in my opinion be clarifying the whole thing.Quote:

100% agree with your post I've been saying the same .Quote:

I don't like the silence from the club if Neil is struggling then you need to take away the pressure points that are causing it .
Perhaps the press are one of these things hence the non appearance.

I understand why fans want clarity ..and perhaps we will get some..but if there is a situation being managed , the priority here has to be Lennon’s health..so if the strategy and advice is keep working , keep a lower profile and try to work through it ..then perhaps we should let him do just that ..when he is ready he will talk about it - he usually does..Quote:

I suppose we are all just guessing and assuming this is a bought of depression and if it is want to help but as you say he will be getting guidance .
