Lennon to Spartak Moscow?

[Heisenberg]

“Hibernian boss Neil Lennon has emerged as a contender for the vacant manager’s job at Spartak Moscow. #Hibs #Spartak“

From journalist Pete O’Rourke on Twitter.

[hfc rd]

Is he reliable?

No doubt there will be plenty of high profile names on their list.

[Paul1642]

Football aside have to wonder if he would want to move to Russia and if his wife would also

What paper is Pete O’Rourke a journalist for?

All seems a bit far fetched to me but I suppose if they do want him the financial package on offer would be a real life changing deal for him, does well there and he’d probably get another crack at the premiership so not just going to be about the money.

[HibeeHibernian4]

Apparently it stems from Lennon impressing Spartak in 2012 when he managed Celtic to home and away victories over them. Pete O'Rourke's Sky Sports News I'm pretty sure.

[Mick O'Rourke]

We all expect possibly Neil moscow sometime.
I hope he is not russian it though.


Is it not the case that their current manager has only just recently joined them?


Edit; He is caretaker manager.

I was hoping he would be more of a sports blogger that is getting a bit loose with the term ‘journalist’, if he’s a sky sports journalist that’d be a bit more worrying.

At this point in time it would be an utter disaster to lose Lennon.

[calumhibee1]

Would be a good move for him to be fair.

I think it’s probably the one thing all Hibs fans would agree with.

Imo it’s inevitable he’ll go soon but when he does I fear we’ll struggle to replace him.

[Mick O'Rourke]

There will be dozens of managers/coaches applying for this job.


Brendan Rodgers has been linked.

What a pile o *****

[AK86]

Are we going to have to put up with Lennon getting touted every single vacancy in the northern hemisphere now? It's getting ridiculous.

Maybe they will go for Levein , they are after all top of the league.

Neil Lennon will leave one day , Hibs will continue , we may replace him with someone better .
I can't see him going to Russia , I hope he stays a bit longer , but we can't wet the bed everynight fretting he might leave the next day.

Yeah, anyway let’s not think about that! I’m in my happy place with payday tomorrow and Question Time about to begin.

What other vacancy has he been touted for?

FWIW I’ve just had a look at that journalists twitter feed and it seems to just be that hitc website and betting promotions he works for so this story is almost certainly bollocks.

Just wants to get twitter followers so he can promote bookies incentives.

He used to work for Sky Sports but is now at HITC who are highly unreliable. He could well still have some decent info but is the only one reporting it so far.

[CMurdoch]

I think Lennon will be dead interested in what he can achieve next season when the team rebuild is complete.
He has put 2 years of sweat and tears into this project and will want to complete it.

If he could sign another midfielder of the standard of Milligan plus Allan and one other good player as well as signing up Bogdan, Ambrose and MacLaren (on a permanent deal and a full pre-season), we could be a real good team.

That team would be evidence of his management ability to put a good team together and make it work.

Certainly no way he is going to Spartak.

Aston Villa , smellies , Kelty hearts

[Diclonius]

Russia wouldn't be the best place to go and Lennon will get better offers anyway. I don't think this is anything to worry about.

Only 2 years feels like he’s been here so much longer

Yeah, I had to think about it.

[NAE NOOKIE]

The one thing that strikes me about NL is that he appears to be happy at Hibs and I cant help thinking that will be a huge factor in any decision he was to make regarding moving on, I would doubt money would be an overriding factor either unless it was silly money, he must have made a fair wedge over his playing and managerial career already and he doesn't strike me as the sort of guy to have pished it all away.

If / when he does move on it will be to a club he genuinely thinks he can improve, he wont want to end up in another Bolton situation I would imagine.

[weecounty hibby]

Has Craig Levein been mentioned? If not why not? He is by all accounts the best manager ever and has won the league with hearts this season. It always amazes me that whoever the hearts manager is they never seem to get mentioned in the press for roles elsewhere. I remember Stubbs being touted for jobs but couldn't get us out of Div 1 but Neilson who had won Div 1 and had hearts up at the top of the Orem was never mentioned

Rangers played Spartak Moscow last night and the return game in Russia is in 2 weeks. There’s your link. “Lennon to manage against Rangers in Europe shock”

Waste of a tweet.

Yeah I think it’s fair to say if there was anything in it then it would have been picked up by someone else in the media.

Interesting wee rumour to pass the time but no danger he’ll be going to Moscow.

Seen another journalist this morning saying on twitter that things may have come to a head at Celtic after last nights defeat and there could be major upheaval next week, that might be a more realistic immediate concern for us but I hope not.
