And to think we had some on this very message board who thought he wasn’t the right man for the job. 🤫

Said it before and I'll say it again, we are very lucky to have Neil as our manager and long may it continue .

My ST is behind the dugout and anyone who thinks Lenny is not 100% Hibs needs to think again. He went nuts at the end of the game. Brilliant Manager who gets Hibs. If we can hold onto him there's some exciting times ahead for the Club.

Lennon has done a terrific job so far, it definitely looks like he has set high standards at the club and he has definitely improved us.
I loved Stubbs but Lennon has taken the side up a level.
Genuinely hope Lennon isn't tempted elsewhere for a good while yet.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I'm a massive fan of Lennon. He's a passionate guy - and yes that occasionally gets him in trouble as a full on furious Lenny in the face of a referee/fourth official/player/manager is not and has never been a pretty sight. But that's part of what makes him great - it's part of a package that also includes an intelligent and articulate guy - a real football thinker with a great sense of integrity and sportsmanship that had already earned him respect throughout the game long before he was recruited at Hibs.
I'm delighted with Lennon but what makes me happier still is that he's been not the first but the third in a succession of brilliant key appointments following the utter disaster of relegation - Leanne Dempster being the first followed by the managers she subsequently appointed - Stubbs and Lennon.
Stubbs did a fantastic job, turning round a dejected club and quickly crafting a side burgeoning with talent that delivered a thoroughly deserved Scottish Cup while narrowly missing out on promotion. I was not at all surprised that Stubbs had an ambition to try his hand in his homeland on the back of that success even if somewhat bewildered by his choice of club. I'll always love Stubbsy though regardless of that.
So I think - usual Hibs - successful manager gets snapped up swiftly to be followed by (going by previous experience) a succession of steadily more desperate mediocrity. And so I was impressed when Lennon - a high profile and experienced manager with a track record of success in the Scottish game - was secured as Stubbs' successor.
But Lennon has exceeded my expectations by a long way, not so much by his smart moves in the transfer market and tactical nous, most welcome though they most definately are! But by his commitment to expansive attractive winning football and moreso than anything else, the pride, dedication and just sheer joy that he self evidently brings to and takes from the job of managing Hibs. I get the impression that Neil is enjoying and relishing the task of managing Hibs every bit as much as we are enjoying watching it and that he is in no hurry to go anywhere else. I hope I'm right and that we will have the pleasure of watching Hibs progress and develop under his tutelage for a good number of seasons yet

The man should be given a contract for life.
The consistency level we are showing right now is unprecedented in the time I've been watching Hibs.
Even although last season was in the Championship, it's incredible to think that in almost two full seasons, we have only lost 9 league matches.
I am really excited about where we can go under Lennon. I really feel we can reach a level we have never seen before.

If Lennon stays, maybe WE are the team that stops 10 in a row....

It's the way he has got the players believing that they can beat anyone that really impresses me. Yes, we have a really strong squad with a number of 'winners' in their own right, but you can see the confidence that Lennon has given them running right through the team. McLeish had it to a fair degree and was constantly hammering home the word 'mentality' but Lennon has taken things significantly further by ensuring we have remained competitive for the entire season - and if anything we're getting stronger as the campaign heads towards its conclusion. That's a very rare thing for a Hibs side over the last few decades.

Loved stubbsy we played some good football under him and oh we won a certain cup but under Lenny good football but more important wins us games when it matters on the personal side before he came not my favourite person but couldn't argue with his pedigree as a manager remember when it broke we were after him I honestly didn't think we would get him but so pleased we did as many posts have said I think we should be just grateful and happy we have him and let's back him and the team to the max by smashing the record fo season ticket sales

When Neil Lennon was appointed I must admit I had real reservations. I just wasn't sure he was the "right fit" for the club. Happy to say he has proved me wrong, has done a great job and I am now totally 100% behind him. So well done to Neil and to Leanne for having the faith to appoint him.

He won me over pretty quickly with the open, honest and passionate way he spoke.
It will be a shame when he goes, but it has been a pleasure having him in charge of our club.

Let’s hope they earn this name.
Would be a nice follow up to Stubbsy’s Hampden Heroes.

He's a true leader and the type of manager we have been needing for years. When he first came here he said he wanted to get rid of the boy band mentality, this team plays for one and other and defeat and draws to your diddy teams is unacceptable. Really enjoying having him here and I'm pretty sure he will go down as a Hibernian manager legend.
