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

He was asked in the latest pre match and said he is happy where he is. :aok:

It wouldn’t suit NL’s style IMO. He craves his day to day work and wouldn’t enjoy sitting doing heehaw for months at a time.

And yet Lennon said yesterday he was happy at Hibs and that the Scotland job isn't for him.

Yes. I think he was seeking a bit of attention for himself rather than actually making a profound statement.

Again it may be he would prefer the golf and the punditry he could be allowed as a national manager.

I don't think he would because of the grief he would get from certain teams supporters.

I have no doubt he would take it.

Probably. Viewed as too controversial by the blazers.

I think that high profile job of Scotland manager and with his love of TV work would suit him.

Listened to NL being interviewed on TalkSport Scotland coming back from the development game tonight. Ally McCoist put the Scotland Manager position to him.

NL dismissed his interest saying he was too young and it needed a more experienced manager at Club and International level to take the reigns

[andybev1]

I hear Rogers is up for patronising prick of the year - good chance of winning it apparently.

[Hi Heid Yin]

Listening to Neil Lennon talking about the Scotland job the other day I detected a twinkle in his eye and, of course, he gave the standard reply of a manager in that he is happy where he is - knowing that the world is watching, including Leeann Dempster and co. Stranger things have happened in the football manager merry-go-round.

[snooky]

Surely that makes HIM the perfect fit for the Scotland job. :hmmm:

Not to mention totally unprofessional conduct in commenting on the business of a fellow manager. It was bad enough for a nonentity like McNamara to set the ball rolling on this one but Rogers’ involvement beggars belief.

[Sir David Gray]

How about Brendan Rodgers sticks to talking about his own team?

Would love Lennon to say so. But he won't.

[Jim44]

How about Brendan Rodgers sticks to talking about his own team?

His pre-match conference touched on the International situation. Does he have a vested interest in getting a Celtic minded Scottish National coach?

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has expressed concern about the possible impact Scotland's post-season friendlies could have on the Hoops' Champions League hopes and the rest of Scottish football.

The Scottish Football Association, still searching for a national team boss to replace Gordon Strachan after Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill rejected the opportunity, have arranged four matches in the meantime including a trip to Peru on May 29 before taking on Mexico away on June 2.

The Parkhead club have recently provided Scotland and Hoops captain Scott Brown, Craig Gordon, Kieran Tierney, Stuart Armstrong, Callum McGregor, James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths to the national squad.

Celtic, in the likelihood of them winning the Ladbrokes Premiership title again, will begin their Champions League qualification campaign on July 10 or 11 and Rodgers, hoping his side make the William Hill Scottish Cup final on May 19, pointed out the implications of a short summer break.

"We hope to make it through to the Scottish Cup final which takes you through to May 19, if you then have eight of your players at least going on a friendly tour to South America, I don't think it is helpful for Celtic, ''said the Northern Irishman, who will be looking for a "sensible decision'' to be made by whoever becomes Strachan's successor.

"Players will play 60 games plus, plus international games so that makes it extremely difficult, especially for the young players like Kieran Tierney who are starting out on their careers and have made great starts.

"You don't want them to be broken and burnt out too early in their career because of the number of games.

"Footballers are not machines, they are human beings and they need that mental and physical recovery at times.

"But I also think it is for the wider scope of Scottish football.

"The team has the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League, they need every chance they can to qualify.

"One: for the national game, to show we can put a team into the elite club competition in European football, but also two: financially.

"The financial implications the last couple of years qualifying for the Champions League is that each of the other clubs get a substantial amount of money for that and sometimes that is the most revenue that they get.

"So it is not just for Celtic. Of course, you look firstly within your club and the players but you also have to take into consideration Scottish football when you bring on a friendly campaign that far away at that time of the season.

"Some of these players had six days (off) last year, some had 10, the maximum the non-internationals had was three weeks, so to do that again, you are not giving yourself an opportunity.'

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.

Interesting observation but I’d be surprised and disappointed if true.

[Kojock]

At least he'd have plenty free time to attend all the Celtic gigs lol

[Onion]

Scotland job is a road to nowhere for Lennon but perhaps the best he could hope as England will no touch him. Be disappointed to see him leave, but ultimately everyone chucks it at Hibs unlesss they think they'll be supported to take the team to a higher level.

[adhibs]

The news article does it make it seem like he woyld be interested. He possibly could just be pushing hibs to give him a bit cash to spend though

[silverhibee]

No chance Lennon will ever manage the Scottish national team,nFFS he has enough on his plate with the media for him to start getting asked about this nonsense, it ain't happening.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Neil Lennon would be an excellent Scotland manager imo

He won't ever even be approached for it because half the country genuinely hate him for one reason or another

[Since90+2]

Lennon would never be offered (or take) the Scotland job. He is detested by a large proportion of the countries fans so he would be on a hiding to nothing.

The job he done at Dundee United was pretty well rec'd throughout the media at the time.

He may be hated by hibs fans Levein, but Lennon is genuinely despised by rangers/hearts fans and dislikes by many others. I'd say about 60% football fans in this country has a sever disliking for him.

Which suits me, he's ours

Scotland would be mad to appoint Lennon. A number of Rangers fans would find it very difficult to support Scotland with him in charge.

Serious question. Is there a large % of rangers fans in the tartan army? I would have thought the pro Scotland anti union sentiment displayed at Scotland games would make it difficult for them to support the national team in great numbers anyway?

Probably not. But they would still release a statement,protest,make death threats etc etc. Just because it would be an affront to them to have a 'fenian'in charge of the national team.especially if it was Lennon.

This whole thing might be a load of tosh, but it appears his head has been turned a bit and this doesn’t fit well with his and the players’ frame of mind with the big game coming up. Is it a coincidence that the flames are being fanned by Celtic folk?

Mon the Cabbage!!!

[bingo70]

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.

[Firestarter]

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.

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. :cool2:
Time will tell.

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]

Not bothered if he goes.

[Johnny_Leith]

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.

[truehibernian]

Not bothered if he goes.

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 :cb

It stinks :aok:

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.

Don’t make you’re mind up by reading the quotes in the papers, watch the video of his press conference.

We are sitting 4th. FOURTH in the top flight after we tried and failed TWICE to get out the championship. Our manager had us on an unbeaten run earlier in the season where folk were saying we'd be challenging for 2nd. We've hit a bit of a blip and it's life jacket on cause we're in for some choppy water ala the period between 2008-2013. It's ****ing embarrassing. The way some hibs fans **** their pants at the mere thought of everything not being perfect. One minute some fans think we're running this city the next their back to wetting the bed and thinking hearts are gonna destroy us.

Some people will never take to our manager yet absolutely adore the fact that Griffiths plays for the best team in the country and loves us. Double standards to me that.

The job Lennon has done to date has been excellent. Job done last season but reaching the league cup semi, unbeaten vs hearts in the league and unbeaten in glasgow in the league is exactly why I want the man to remain our manager for as long as possible

One minute some fans think we're running this city the next their back to wetting the bed and thinking hearts are gonna destroy us.

Some people will never take to our manager yet absolutely adore the fact that Griffiths plays for the best team in the country and loves us. Double standards to me that.

The job Lennon has done to date has been excellent. Job done last season but reaching the league cup semi, unbeaten vs hearts in the league and unbeaten in glasgow in the league is exactly why I want the man to remain our manager for as long as possible

The truth in this is unbelievable. It's amazing though, when hearts are bumping creditors left right and centre and going through it all it was all 'poor hearts' similar scenario with the sticky buns but as soon as there's a sniff of a crisis at hibs the media are on it and pouring petrol on the flames.

[The Green Goblin]

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

He did, yes, which surely means Hibs can demand significant compensation if NL wants to go.

I think Lennon is in the media way too often for all the wrong reasons. It should be about Hibs and the players. I've never known a manager of Hibs to be in the media so much and I don't think it's doing us any favours.


Perhaps you think he should spend more time at home polishing the Rover?

Neil Lennon would be utterly mad, to accept the post of Scotland manager.

He'd feel the same wrath & poison from the various factions who don't like him because of his background :agree:

I don't think there are many Rangers fans who attend national games but there are some and there are many Hearts ones and others who would just love to stick the boot in when things go bad :agree:

He is re building his reputation and found a City he can stay in thats away from the Sectarian nonsense of Glasgow
He knew he was coming to a Club on the up and suspect he has been pleasantly surprised by the Crowds we are currently attracting
He has the backing of the Board

So it was a. no brainer to sign a new contract snd get more money in the process

I have no idea what clauses are in his contract but i would be disappointed if he was offered the Scotland job and took it at this juncture
I assumed he would still be here till the end of the Season and think that will be the case
If he keeps us fourth i think he will be wanted elsewhere and he will be ambitious so it wouldn't be a surprise if he moved on then

[jacomo]

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.


Disappointing if you ask me. Lenny could have shut this down but is letting it run.

[Paisley Hibby]

Jings, this thread is hysterical.

I think the SFA will appoint Scot Gemmill as the next manager. No inside info, just my opinion after reading a good piece in today's Sunday Times (no doubt fed to them). It points out that Gemmill would be following the same route to the job that Craig Brown and Andy Roxburgh took. The SFA would also not need to find cash for compensation.

So FWIW, I hope Neil Lennon stays with us, we're lucky to have him. But if he is wanting to move I'd imagine it'd be to a much better job than the Scotland manager. If he's been deliberately ambiguous in his public response to the Scotland job speculation I'd bet that's about a different agenda altogether.

[bingo70]

Sky sports scotland reporting SFA keen on promoting Scott Gemmil to the managers position.

Seems to have done a really good job with the younger sides and remember reading a really impressive interview with him when he was linked with the hibs job (not that that means anything right enough). Wouldn’t have been my first pick but I’d much rather have him than someone like Lambert, Moyes or McLeish.

Let’s be honest, Lennon isn’t liked in Scotland. Only Celtic and Hibs fans like him and if we’re being honest, Hibs fans didn’t like him when he played for/managed Celtic. I think it’s too much of a controversial choice for the SFA to appoint him so can’t see it happening.

They’ll go for a “safe pair of hands/non controversial manager”. Steve Clarke would be a good appt.

You speak the truth my friend.

I will admit that i wasn't happy when he took over at the helm as I saw him as potentially being very divisive. He is. However, when he's in your corner and fully committed to you then you're really glad he's there.

I think along the same lines as Angus that he would be too controversial an appointment. Also, far too many media types and a sizeable proportion of Scotland fans would idiotically be desperate for him to fail.

The Scot Gemmill thing brings to mind when Italy were managed by Cesare Maldini, and he had as his captain his son Paolo Maldini.

Maybe if Scot gets the Scotland job he can do things in reverse, and bring back his old man in the attacking mid role...

[worcesterhibby]

If Gemmill did get the job, it would be similar to England giving the National job to Southgate. Admittedly Southgate had more club management experience, but he would have been nowhere near the job on the basis of his club CV. He was appointed 'from within' because of his record with the England U21's.

[WeAreHibs]

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. :cool2:

Didn't GS do a decent enough job with England U21s though? get them to the Euros finals and at least regularly qualifying for latter stages of tournaments?

If Gemmill did get the job, it would be similar to England giving the National job to Southgate. Admittedly Southgate had more club management experience, but he would have been nowhere near the job on the basis of his club CV. He was appointed 'from within' because of his record with the England U21's.It's similar to the Roxburgh/Brown situation, where they came through with the players they'd coached.

I thought they did pretty well, perhaps better than they were entitled to expect.

Roxburgh got very little credit but was light years ahead in his thinking. I attended a meeting that he led prior to him becoming national boss and he pretty much predicted the international malaise that Scotland is in now.
