[Dashing Bob S]

Wasn't going to renew but will now. Welcome 'Lenny'.

[High-On-Hibs]

If somebody had told me years ago that he was going to be the Hibs manager at some point, i'd have probably been raging. However, under the circumstances and with his credentials, i'm delighted with his appointment. If anybody can get us back up again, it's wee Neil.

Welcome to the Hibs family Mr Lennon. :flag:

As an added bonus, the blue side of my family will be absolutely steaming at the ears. :tee hee:

[hfcnic]

I was unsure about this to begin with, however I think it boosts our chances of getting a few signings/loans that will be needed. Looking forward to the season beginning in a few weeks and getting back to watch the mighty hibs

[Finn2015]

Apparently will sign today so looks to be all signed sealed and delivered very soon

[Hibbyradge]

Wasn't going to renew but will now. Welcome 'Lenny'.

I'm in a similar frame of mind.

I wasn't going to go to any games next season, but I'll probably take in a few now.

[SlickShoes]

Seems like a good appointment, I trust Leeann with whatever appointment is made.

Still a bit baffled at how disappointed some folk seem to be, we are heading for year 3 in the second division of Scottish Football so i'm not exactly sure what type of candidate folk were expecting. Lennon like any manager could be a success or failure but he's a fairly high profile appointment and not the level of person I expected us to be looking at when Sir Alan left.

[Enough said]

Wasn't going to renew but will now. Welcome 'Lenny'.

What was the reason for not renewing if you don't mind me asking?

[The Pointer]

Not who I would have preferred but I trust Leeann to make the correct decision so he'll get my support.

[Canon Hannan]

Wasn't going to renew but will now. Welcome 'Lenny'.

Well said Dashing Bob.

Great appointment who will fight for the club.

Hearts will have another reason to Seeth!!! hahahaha

Pleasing, very pleasing.:greengrin

[hibeeleicester]

Hibernian Fc no longer push overs.

[MB62]

Why so sad?

Don't like the man, that's why.
However, he is now the new manager of our football club so I suppose he will get my backing and hope he gets us promoted at (his) first time of asking.

[pacoluna]

[GreenPJ]

Always glad to hear that people are renewing but what is the rationale for only doing it on the basis that Lennon (who in his last role effectively failed and was sacked) will be the new manager.

[JimBHibees]

If true a huge show of intent by the club. Great appointment. :flag:

[Golden Bear]

I disliked Lennon as a player and I disliked him as Celtic manager but he could be just what we need right now.

Welcome to the Hibernian family Neil, I'll raise a glass to your future success as our new Manager.

I am undecided, but has my backing and support. Now lets get some players signed up

I bought my scarf in 1964. It's a bit more battered and worn than this replica and has seen many managers come and go. This time it is quite excited about our new manager.:flag:

[PeeJay]

Wish him all the best with our club. His experience and footballing links will surely benefit us - it'll be interesting to see if he can win the Championship with a lower budget than he has previously enjoyed in Scotland.

[rcarter1]

Welcome Neil!

I hope you enjoy your stay with the greater greens (:wink:)

:thumbsup:

[Sir David Gray]

I am undecided at the moment about Lennon but fully support Leeann Dempster and her decision making.

[jacomo]

Welcome Neil.

You're ambitious, we're ambitious. Let's make it happen!

[SJM]

Good luck to Lennon. I hope it works out.

[High-On-Hibs]

Never realized how attractive this man was until now. :wink:

http://oi65.tinypic.com/6ntgkg.jpg

[we are hibs]

I Wouldn't have cared if it was a butcher and Jeffries partnership. As long as we get up this season. i don't care if he's an absolute ******** as long as he does his job and gets us promoted this season.

[tomhorn]

I disliked Lennon as a player and I disliked him as Celtic manager but he could be just what we need right now.

Welcome to the Hibernian family Neil, I'll raise a glass to your future success as our new Manager.

:flag:

Agree. I really didn't like him as a player but I'm not wanting top be his best pal. Just want him to do well and I don't think we could have got a better manager at this time - his CV is beyond anything we should expect to attract to Hibs in second division. The cup runs and more importantly cup win has totally helped too no doubt.

[ancient hibee]

Drawn at Ibrox in the cup,go there with Lennon as manager,Daily Record in meltdown,Govan explodes.Great.

[Don Giovanni]

Is nobody 'underwhelmed' on here any more?

:dunno:

Lifting that Scottish Cup must have really changed the outlook on hibs.net

[wookie70]

Welcome Neil, not sure how I feel as his record is mixed and he was working in different situations to what we are in. Lots of plus points though and a big name that could bring some good players in.

[Finn2015]

Think we will see a few deals with Celtic for loans etc

[High-On-Hibs]

The Huns and yams can't stand him and vice versa so hopefully he can get us promoted and rescue his reputation about the Bolton job.

When an opposition fan dislikes a player or a manager it is usually an admission that this guy can cause damage, i.e. they are bloody good. This is a far higher caliber of manager than I could have hoped for - delighted!

[Northernhibee]

Ambition.

[Steve20]

Always glad to hear that people are renewing but what is the rationale for only doing it on the basis that Lennon (who in his last role effectively failed and was sacked) will be the new manager.

People want the club to show ambition, maybe? This appointment certainly does that. I know people don't like it, but some people like to wait and see what a club does during the summer before deciding on buying season tickets. It'll be the same at a lot of clubs.

Delighted with this appointment. :flag:

[snooky]

Even if Hibs signed Jose Mourinho as manager, I would still wait till he proved himself with results before getting too excited. But hey, that's just me. :greengrin

[emerald green]

It's now more important than ever that the supporters also play their part in helping to get the club promoted next season.

By that, I mean the 2,000 or so season ticket holders who have still to renew do so as soon as possible. Not all of them will, or can, for various reasons. But surely the large majority of that 2,000 will be able to renew on the back of such a historic Scottish Cup win?

[scoopyboy]

Drawn at Ibrox in the cup,go there with Lennon as manager,Daily Record in meltdown,Govan explodes.Great.

For the first time in my fifty years of supporting Hibs I now actually want us to be drawn at Ibrox in cup ties.

[Dashing Bob S]

What was the reason for not renewing if you don't mind me asking?

With work and family commitments I don't think I'll get to enough games next season to make it worthwhile, and I'd resigned myself to being a walk-up fan.

However, the club has shown ambition and I feel should show my appreciation by renewing anyway.

[Mikey09]

Wait till he draws or loses a game... They will go into meltdown mode!!!! :greengrin

[Hibernia&Alba]

When/if officially confirmed, this move is evidence of a determination by the club to build upon the Scottish Cup win and get the club back in the SPL. Lennon is a big coup for Hibs, and he'll demand the squad win the league. His arrival may also convince some of the bigger players to stay at the club. Lennon must play his part ensuring he doesn't become the story rather than Hibs, but of course much is out of his control. We don't want a media circus, we need the focus to be upon winning promotion. There will be hatred towards him from the usual suspects, but we mustn't allow the inevitable to detract from the aim.

[ronaldo7]

Fantastic signing by the club. Lets now go on and win this league.

[Dashing Bob S]

Great stuff form Hibernian! Now let's go and win this bloody League and four cups into the bargain!*









*Petrified Cup with development squad only, please.

You can almost smell and touch the seethe on KB and FF. It's going to be an interesting season.

[Scooter]

On his official Facebook "hibs bring it on"

[SteveHFC]

You can almost smell and touch the seethe on KB and FF. It's going to be an interesting season.

Hopefully we'll end up drawing one of them in the cup next season away. :agree:

[lyonhibs]

Scarf above the head photo at ER or GTF :greengrin

[High-On-Hibs]

Hopefully we'll end up drawing one of them in the cup next season away. :agree:

For his own safety, I hope not. Although, i'm sure any of the idiots that run onto the pitch to take a cheap shot will claim that they were only trying to "protect the players".

[HibsNibs]

Not a fan of Lennon at all but let's hope I'm as wrong about him as I was about Butcher (thought he'd do well for us).

[Lago]

Not who I would have preferred but I trust Leeann to make the correct decision so he'll get my support.
Who would you have preferred?

[biotech]

Any managerial appointment has an element of risk, but could we really have expected anyone better? Lennon has drive, experience and ruthlessness the team requires. Also, his Celtic links could prove important with regards to loans, etc. Mr Stubbs benefited from this.

Good job landing him.

[Scouse Hibee]

What a coup his appointment will be,the club has really shown their intention here make no mistake,one of if not our biggest ever signing.

[tomf]

This is my first post since we won the cup and I would just like to say a huge thank you to Alan Stubbs for steering us to that historic victory. No decent Hibs fan could grudge him the opportunity to take his managerial career as far as it can go and I genuinely wish him every success with Rotherham although I don't see them playing in Europe any time soon and it might have been worth another year with Hibs to see if that might have opened up better opportunities for an ambitious young manager. However, with all that said, we all know the nature of football these days and so we have a new manager. I think Neil Lennon is a pretty shrewd appointment for Hibs. He has been a winner throughout his career and after his disappointment with Bolton I imagine he has a lot to prove and a real hunger to make his point. It is often said that you learn more from bad experiences and I believe that Hibs will benefit from a management team eager to win.

[heretoday]

Amazing how our star has risen in the last month. Let's give some credit to the board I reckon.

[EdinMike]

Not wanting to sound too much like a Debbie Downer I'll reserve judgement. (I was excited about Butcher. Nuff said)

But on paper it seems like a great appointment. Roll on the Europa League draw !

[Carheenlea]

What a coup his appointment will be,the club has really shown their intention here make no mistake,one of if not our biggest ever signing.

Probably the highest profile managerial appointment in the clubs history. Eddie Turnbull coming from winning the Cup at Aberdeen might compare, but given Eddie's history there might have been s sense of inevitability that he would manage Hibs? A statement of intent, and an exciting one at that.

[Greencore]

Welcome..... 'Neily' hated you as a player, hated you as celtc gaffer but will give you a chance at the mighty Hibees....

Hope everyone can get behind our new manager. Hope the board fully back him too.

Excellent post Sir.

[hibeeleicester]

Still nothing on SSN. They are usually first ones down at EM/ER

[NAE NOOKIE]

I have to admit I don't think its an appointment that will get folk rushing out to buy season tickets .... more because of their perceptions of him as a person than his record as a manager .... I hope I'm wrong, the next few weeks will be interesting as far as that goes. Mind you ... if you don't want your club to be bland, boring and 'under the radar' then with this appointment Hibs are certainly rising to that challenge :greengrin

The biggest problem NL is going to have is that he will not be given any leeway to have a slow start, which might not have been the case with a Stubbs like appointment ... he will be expected to hit the ground running.

His biggest obvious advantage will be that there is no Hearts or Sevco in the league. Our biggest challenge on paper is Dundee Utd, but they have just been relegated, have a new manager ( though with championship experience ) and probably aren't much better off player wise than we were two seasons ago. Falkirk are probably the next biggest threat, but I just cant see them getting to kick off on the first day without having lost at least another two of their best players following the departure of Alston to St Johnstone .... failure to go up will have cost them just as much as it has us.

The biggest thing to remember is this:

Everybody is going on about the fact that we didn't win enough games last season with 7 draws and 8 defeats ... but when you look at the clubs we will be up against next season which one of them can realistically expect to go through the season doing any better than that, even Sevco who allegedly won the league at a canter in the end drew 6 and lost 5 .... IE only one draw and 3 wins better than us ... not a huge statistic over 36 games.

There is real reason to be optimistic IMO

No decent Hibs fan could grudge him the opportunity to take his managerial career as far as it can go and I genuinely wish him every success with Rotherham although I don't see them playing in Europe any time soon and it might have been worth another year with Hibs to see if that might have opened up better opportunities for an ambitious young manager. However, with all that said, we all know the nature of football these days and so we have a new manager. I think Neil Lennon is a pretty shrewd appointment for Hibs. He has been a winner throughout his career and after his disappointment with Bolton I imagine he has a lot to prove and a real hunger to make his point. It is often said that you learn more from bad experiences and I believe that Hibs will benefit from a management team eager to win.

Good post. :agree:

Can't wait til the unveiling and hear what he has to say

[snedzuk]

Tell me he's no brought feruz too?

so long as the Porsche isn't hairy we'll be fine

[snedzuk]

Ah, now you're crossing The Broons with Oor Wullie, an act very rarely done even by Dudley Watkins himself!

Not in the spoof one that used to do the rounds including Oor Wullie and Daphne...

[GreenArmyyy!]

Just been interviewed by Luke Shanley on Sky Sports at East Mains! No sign of anyone appearing yet apart from Tam McCourt to close the gates!

Unless he's singing Sunshine On Leith when he gets out of the car, he isn't a Hibs man. Lennon out :greengrin

Apparently he's got a bit of Hampden turf in his back pocket.

Lennon's appointment suggest we are going for glory!!


I must admit that I was dreading getting back into the SPL only to be a mediocre 'top flight' team with no great ambition. Declaring it a success to merely make the top six, as we have done in the past!

However the appointment of Neil Lennon plus the rumoured signings point to a vision that sees the full potential of our great club. Promotion will hopefully be the first phase of many!!

[bringbackjoeT!!]

Perhaps it's not a done deal after all, Record now backtracking and saying there are some stumbling blocks in the way and nothing is signed

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Lennon isn't coming....couldn't agree terms

Well I'm delighted to see him here, a proven winner, a good coach and will offer that bit of steel and strong mentality our team has lacked for a while, the players will play for him but he won't suffer slackers, onwards and upwards. :flag:
