Lennon for Scotland job ....... according to .......

**~~Firestarter~~** · 26-01-2018 10:50 PM

He wants out. The posters saying Lennon is the best manager ever etc are disgraces. He couldn't care less about Hibernian. He really couldn't.

He’s said a few times he’s too young for the Job and he sees it as a role for an older manager, those quotes in the sunnatr pretty damning though so it sounds like he’s maybe changed his mind.

To get round his unpopularity with half of the country he’d probably just appoint McCoist or someone else rangers minded to the coaching staff.

FWIW I think he’d be the perfect fit for the job and a great appointment for the exact same reasons Rodgers gave.

If you watch the interview on hibs tv it's not quite the "please approach me now" the papers have made it out as.

Said many times this season to my mates, lennon will leave at end of the season and Stubbs/Doolan will be back in charge. Just my prediction

Offer John Doolan what he wants. He won't try to sign Emile Heskey.

Exactly this. Complete non story.

To suggest that he wants out is nonsense. He can walk away any time he wants.

Brendan Rodgers is his mate. It's being played out for a reason. A very well respected and established poster on her (not me I'm irrelevant) said last week this whole thing won't end well. Neil Lennon I'll say it will be gone by June at the latest and I'm willing to bet anyone £100 into Leithlinks it's the case.

Fake news stoking up negativity regarding our club from a largely Jabba controlled Scottish media that stinks like a hunyam piggery. Who'd have thunk it eh?

Exactly. Anyone who has watched his interview on Hibs TV would not interpret that as him saying that he wants the Scotland job.

The media is a funny bugger. There's a pretty good possibility that Neil put Rogers and/or McNamara up to making the 'speculation' as a roundabout way of announcing he was interested in the job - it'd be far from the first time that feelers would have been sent out this way by managers hunting for jobs, and Lennon certainly didn't do anything to shut down the speculation when they pressed him at the press conference.

That same thought crossed my mind, didn't pay much attention to McNamara but when Rodgers came out with his statement backing Lennon for the Scotland job, it must have been with Lennon's knowledge, he didn't exactly extinguish the possibility in his BBC interview, quote below.

"If an approach comes, and it's a huge if, then we will deal with it accordingly but until then there's no further comment," the Hibs boss added.

"It's very flattering from someone of Brendan's stature in the game and I appreciate the sentiment, but I am the Hibs manager."

Couldn't care less about Hibs to the extent that: we won the league last season, had our most comprehensive win over Hearts in years, reached the SC semi-final; and then this season: beat Rangers at Ibrox, drawn twice with Celtic, beat Hearts again, reached the League Cup semi-final, has us 4th in the league (5 points off 2nd place). He sticks up for the club on every occasion it is necessary.

If he leaves Hibs for the Scotland job then so be it, but don't pretend he disnae give a fiddler's fart about us while he's here just because it suits your very obvious agenda against Lennon. In any event, you'll be delighted if he leaves. Let's see what happens.

The £100 bet has got me thinking it's something you're relatively confident about. I've certainly never picked up any vibes that suggests to me he "wants out" as you put it. In fact I would say it's the opposite. I thought Neil was happy here.
He's obviously ticked of with the events in Portugal and his trip to the Celtc gig was, let's say, unfortunately timed.
If it's true that there's something going on backstage that us punters are unaware of, it comes as a surprise to me and it's very disappointing.

Bottom line, if Lennon doesn't want to be here, it's better for all that he goes. The same applies to anyone at ER - player, manager, director or otherwise. They've all come and gone in the past and Hibs are still here. Who knows what's round the corner, it might be the birth of a new dynasty.

Time will tell.

didnt he just sign a new deal a very short while ago?

Doesnt ever give any impression that he wants out. Obviously there are bigger, better jobs out there than us....and if he gets one of them, then its only because he has done a bloody good job

Aye. If he leaves Hibs for pastures new then he's no different to McLeish, Mowbray or Stubbs in that respect.

One things for sure, as a manager, you either leave because you're good or you get sacked because you're not. Either way, every manager - past, present and future - will only be with us for a spell.

Good post.. for the record I think Lennon is one of the best managers we’ve had in a while and that’s from someone who wasn’t to thrilled when we hired him.. definitely won me over and we’re lucky to have him.

**we are hibs** · 27-01-2018 03:56 AM

Not bothered if he goes.

***Johnny_Leith*** · 27-01-2018 04:05 AM

From a Scotland perspective, he knows our game, our players and would command respect from the squad. I also think he'd be proactive in blooding some much needed youth, and we have an exciting crop coming through.

From a Hibs perspective, I'm very happy with Lennon as our manager and I don't want that to change any time soon, and don't believe it will.

Rodgers is touting Lennon primarily because he wants an ally in the Scotland position.

First time in his tenure I've heard Lennon even court the idea which in itself annoyed me.

Stubbs would be immediately be welcomed back into the fold if he did move on to the national job - 100% - dare I say many of the players would welcome that too.

I really like Neil Lennon and personally would be really disappointed if he thought that the Scotland job was for him. Can think of many reasons it's not, mostly reasons relating to The Rangers and SFA backroom staff - think it would be a real poisoned chalice, dare I say worse than the Celtic job.

I'm baffled how the media have suddenly latched onto the fact he may be interested given he distanced himself last week.............maybe worth looking at a link to the SFA and Hibs in a media sense...........The Scottish Sun now running with it...............just saying

It stinks

**Onion** · 27-01-2018 04:52 AM

Whether Lennon's interested in the job or not, this is just the latest negative / corrosive story the MSM is developing about Hibs. They are on a mission to unravel this Hibs bubble and restore the "natural order" of Yam / Hun domination.

You mustve been raging on Wednesday.

Your one man hate campaign against the manager is whats a disgrace.

Think this era is over. Clearly looking for next up move. Who is going to sign for us with this uncertainty around the manager. Players will want to go to or maybe not. Stubbs and To plan can hold the ship and club together.

***Viva_Palmeiras*** · 27-01-2018 05:39 AM

Daily record articles on this contadicting each other.
Don’t click thru to that other “paper” so if direct quotes from Lennon (I’d be surprised on the eve of a big game)

Clear to see that on the days running up to a match against Celtic that good old SMSM are doing their finest. Prior to the Hearts thumping, Brendan’s thorn in the side was Hibs he hadn’t the beating of us in the league. It’s interesting therefore to se him joining the calls.

Edit: well looks from the comments in The Scotsman he’s left things open so media will speculate. Foolish to get drawn - contrast with Clarke who played it with a short straight bat.

Makes you wonder.

**heretoday** · 27-01-2018 06:16 AM

Lennon strikes me as a guy who likes to be involved every day in football i.e. a club boss. Sitting in the stand watching other mens' teams wouldn't suit him. I could be wrong!
