Lennon Resigning?

[Greenheart]

Anyone else heard this rumour is told the players this morning? Been on Radio Scotland and a journalist mate has also heard this. Hope it is a rumour

The Rumour started on Saturday on Keekback.

The rumour actually started on twitter then here. I wouldn’t say it’s came from nowhere either

What does that mean? It is either correct or made up probably by a bitter yam.

Hard to believe that Radio Scotland is broadcasting something that they describe as a rumour.

Lenny said he might ‘consider his position’ and here we go again.

Do we have to go through this after every derby at Tynie? Why don’t we just work out how to beat them on their own patch?

[Kato]

Hard to believe that Radio Scotland is broadcasting something that they describe as a rumour.

Is it that hard to believe?

[MB62]

He said on Thursday he loved his job and the people he was working with and the players. Also said resigning would let the bigots win 9or something along those lines) so he would be going nowhere (fingers crossed)

[Stuart93]

What does that mean? It is either correct or made up probably by a bitter yam.

The source from twitter where it originally came from (which we can’t discuss on here) was passing on what they’d heard. Wouldn’t think that person made it up from nowhere either

Yes.

[Wilson]

Steve Clarke please.

[Onion]

Would be astonished if there’s anything to this. It would be exactly the result the coin throwing Yam and his 15000 pals would be hoping for - and Lennon’s not the type to give in to the mob. Wishful thinking by Yams who gave nothing else to grasp onto !

[Hibeewilly]

Lenny is 100% a winner and is going nowhere IMHO

[I'm Spartacus]

Nah, unless he's being lined up for somewhere else, I don't see him having better lifestyle than he does just now, he LOVES East Lothian and his golf down there, he loves the slower pace of life compared to the Celtic goldfish bowl.

I smell ***** on this one and guess it's a PrickBack rumour that's grown arms and legs.

[I'm Spartacus]

OR is he re-signing!!!! :)

[BILLYHIBS]

:wtf:

Not this old chestnut!

Yams cannot beat us in the field, they have a crap manager, crap ground, no songbook, thugs as players and zero class. Their hopes and dreams now revolve around Hibs fortunes. It’s classic Obsessive behaviour.

I wouldn't blame him. The crap he's taken all these years.

I hope he doesn't.

It was a good friend of Lennon's who tweeted it.

[KdyHby]

Are we playing one of the infirm this weekend? 😉

[Rumble de Thump]

The rumour began with certain journalists deliberately reporting Neil Lennon's comments out of context. He has no intention of resigning. The club know that and the journalists also know that, which is why the club are not happy with said journalists.

[Smartie]

No smoke without fire.

Well, it is the 5th of November right enough.

It would be a shame if Lennon's last match in charge turned out to be that damp squib of a match on Saturday.

That’s not how the rumour began.

I know the comment you’re talking about but he superseded that later by saying he’s be staying here for the next year or two.

The latest rumour came from after the match on Saturday.

[Kato]

Yes.

I meant that BBC Radio Scotland would go with a football rumour on their news show. I'm not surprised.

[Velma Dinkley]

That’s not how the rumour began.

Surely the rumour about him resigning began with the rumour about him resigning? :greengrin

[BegbieHSC]

99% sure it’s not true.

[Weir07]

No smoke without fire.

You're usually in the know, any substance to it?

[Brooster]

You're usually in the know, any substance to it?

Yes but that's all I'm prepared to say at this juncture.

[KDY Hibs]

Yes but that's all I'm prepared to say at this juncture.

That doesn't sound great........

[BegbieHSC]

Yes but that's all I'm prepared to say at this juncture.

Interesting - I’ve heard from someone apparently ITK that there’s no substance to it. I hope he’s right.

I suppose time will tell...

[Weir07]

Yes but that's all I'm prepared to say at this juncture.

Ok, that's fair enough, you've always got good info, so will be interesting to see how this develops.

[Sir David Gray]

I don't believe he's going anywhere.

[Speedway]

Well if he is, I hope he gets on with it quickly and leaves.

He’s threatened us about not blessing us with his presence before and it’s time his bluff was called as we’ve lost enough momentum with his failed rebuild already.

If he’s going, get gone. If he’s staying commit and bring us three points on Friday.

[lapsedhibee]

That’s not how the rumour began.

I know the comment you’re talking about but he superseded that later by saying he’s be staying here for the next year or two.

So you're saying it was a breaking rumour on Saturday, and it's an established rumour now - that how these things work?

Or are these two completely separate rumours, about exactly the same thing? :dunno:

[Smartie]

Lennon can drift into hyperbole territory occasionally.

Hunch tells me that it is someone taking something literally that wasn't really meant to be taken that way and that it has grown arms and legs.

Hope so anyway.

[Dancehibs]

Well if he is, I hope he gets on with it quickly and leaves.

He’s threatened us about not blessing us with his presence before and it’s time his bluff was called as we’ve lost enough momentum with his failed rebuild already.

I agree with this . I love Lenny. But we can’t have this drama.

Info shared was decent. He did say things to the players after the game.

[bingo70]

So you're saying it was a breaking rumour on Saturday, and it's an established rumour now - that how these things work?

Or are these two completely separate rumours, about exactly the same thing? :dunno:

No, there was a rumour immediately after the press conference on Friday saying he was considering his future in Scottish football. Later on that was clarified when the full 16 minute press conference was put up on you tube and he said he expected to be here for the next year or two so that appeared to put the rumour to bed.

On Saturday night though a new rumour came out that he had told the players after the game he may be off.

I think that makes it two separate rumours but I’m no sure on the technicalities here 😉

[Bostonhibby]

Has this got something to do with distracting yokels on kickback from the fact that their team lost more goals against celtc than they actually managed shots on target over two games?

That seems harsh. The positives which Lennon has brought to Hibs during his time as manager steamroller any negatives and I would be very disappointed if there's any truth in this latest rumour. If there IS any truth in it and it comes down to the fact he feels he's had enough of the the abuse he's been getting ever since he's played and managed in Scotland then he has my every sympathy and my 100% support. His health issues are well documented and you could see why putting himself in the front line week in week out would get to be too much for anyone, even someone with a tough a skin as Lennon.

[we are hibs]

:rolleyes:

Don't know why you're reacting like that as it's true. This team is a significant downgrade on last season's

[Callum_62]

after losing Mcginn Mcgeough and Allan what did folk expect

Mcginn, and to an extent Dylan were always going to be nigh on impossible to replace

However, didnt we have more points than the same stage last season a few weeks back?

Harsh in the extreme

Folk need to remember where we were 2 seasons ago

And we also have to remember we were 2 games away from 2nd spot last year, big budget and the McGinn money but we still never signed Allan and have again too many either loan deals or last minute signings way off the pace and not contributing. Apart from a few players this is his team and it's definitely poorer than last season's.

You would need to be fair and reflect the injuries and Europe plus international breaks meaning much more of a stop start nature. Too early to say it isnt as good IMO.

I believe we had 19 points after 11 games last year

We have 18 now

He/we need to stop being drawn into the "it's going to be a battle" mind games, just set out to plaý our own game, we seem to be turning the derby into a scrap before a ball is kicked.

[J-C]

You're optimistic if you think folk are going to be fair about something when there's a chance to put the boot in. :greengrin

Not putting any boot in Matty, I just feel the squad is considerably weaker than last season, take injuries and suspensions into account and if looks very thin, I still don't think Lennon knows his best team and shape yet.

[SaulGoodman]

I believe we had 19 points after 11 games last year

We have 18 now

We were also the greatest team people had ever seen after scudding Hamilton 6-0 but 1 expected defeat, 1 okay draw and 1 very bad defeat later we are rank rotten again because there is no in between with Hibs.net

[hibbydog]

Ah....we got beat at the weekend so the glass is half empty again.

If we’re not as good as last seasons team, perhaps we could remember who was responsible for last season?

Knee jerk reaction to the first home defeat in 11 months is staggering.

[Smartie]

We've had one bad result.

Lots of teams will lose at Parkhead, very few will make as good a game of it as we did.

Lot of teams lose at Tynecastle, we didn't, in spite of playing 25 minutes or so with 10 men.

We were pish and deserved to lose at home at the weekend. That hasn't happened for a very long time.

I for one really hope he's staying.

I think everyone wants him to stay, if he wants to stay.

Uncertainty isn’t good for anyone though so if he has said to the players after the game he may be off that’s not good enough and I hope it happens sooner rather than later.

[ALF TUPPER]

I think we would have lost if we didnt set up like we did. We need to combat the way they play and hope the game opens up later on unfortunately the ref scuppered that by sending off our chief goal threat.

I know there’s some reliable posters on here but I do wonder how fans on here, JKB and some Dunfermline fans website would all pick it up before anybody in the MSM?

Contrary to popular belief most journalists will have sources at the club and if anything was happening I’d have thought at least one of them may have picked up on it by now.

[chrisski33]

FFS it's all come from after the Derby when he said on Thursday he may consider his position. He later clarified that he was happy to stay at Hibs and wasn't going anywhere. End of story. Close thread

I don't think we set up to combat how they play, i think we set up to mimic how they play, we didn't set up for a scrap, we set up to scrap, and when you do that nobody wins, certainly not football.

[bingo70]

Not really the end of the story though if posters who are known to be reliable and have inside info are saying he told the players after the game on Saturday he may be off?

At the very least it’s worth keeping the thread open for surely?

[Lemonade]

I hope not.
I think he needs to get the head down and get on with the job in hand and stop alluding to leaving (if the story is indeed accurate)

Could it be that he said to the players “if you lot play like that again,I’m off”. ?

Folk have very short memories

A poor start to the season would have been under Stubbs in Championship or under some of the post Collins numpties

Folk really need a reality check on where we come from.

I expected a better midfielder than Hyndman who has contrubuted absolutely no goals and no assists to replace Allan, mallan has been a good signing and has an incredible shot on him but defensively he leaves a lot to be desired and I've defended slivka a lot over the last year and a half but he really hasn't shown much apart from a couple goals against rangers and Celtic to merit a starting place. Milligan has been good but has suffered from Lennon shifting him into defence. We are still lightweight up top as has been proven by the fact we have Boyle up there. One winger was injury prone before signing is out injured and the other has shown glimpses but that's it.

I don't think it's harsh to criticise our summer recruitment.it was the same this time last year when we had a poor window that summer but people still claimed different.

Hyndman has scored one and been unlucky not to score more imo
But he has yet to impose himself and make himself a guaranteed starter Good Technical player but balance in Midfield wasn't right on Saturday and no one took the game by the scruff of the neck and drove us forward

Hyndman scored against Hamilton. Probably has a few assists as well.

Mallan has more goals than Allan, Mcginn and McGeouch got combined last season

Has Slivka actually had a bad game this season? He's been in strange positions, often on the bench but he's played well when he has played and our best 2 wins score wise (Dundee and Hamilton) had him playing very well. Totally changed the Asteras game when he came on as well.

Boyle played upfront because our 2 main strikers were injured or suspended. How many players do you actually except Hibs to have? What if we signed another striker and no one ever got injured so he never played? That seems like a good use of wages.

[BlackSheep]

Every Scottish team's forum is rife with this rumour simply cos they all want it to happen.

Lennon has been the best thing to happen to Hibs for a long time, he turned a team that loved to choke into a team willing to battle to the very death.

Most teams fear playing us... including the old firm, and they all have reason to be afraid.

Unfortunately for us, that fear doesn't always work in our favour, especially when we have a bad day or two at the office!

Players or staff who were privy to what was said after the game will tell family or friends before running to the media, more like once the press have heard something that a journalist may get in touch with a player to find out if any truth in the story, talking to the press may backfire on player or staff if he gets caught.

Someone close to Lennon tweeted on Saturday night that we aren't allowed to talk about on here, I mentioned it as well and I heard it from a players mate what Lennon allegedly said, the media will pick up on it soon enough, the two posters on here who have spoke about it would suggest this isn't a load of nonsense.

Hyndman has scored and he has provided an assist - 12 or so games enough time to really judge ? He's a decent player, not helped by recent tinkering of formations. Mallan has scored 9 goals in 19 games and we are only 11 games into the league season ! Slivka isn't helped again by tinkering and being in and out the side, however he hasn't let the side down when I've seen him play.

[Scott Allan Key]

Well, it is the 5th of November right enough.

Really wouldn't surprise me SH, I really think he was close to it after last season's game at Tynecastle after seeing him close hand before and after that game - would be wrong to speculate admittedly but I think he does struggle at times to keep it together due to him being so competitive and not having the personnel to really drive forward his plans / desires. That isn't a dig at Hibs either, just that he wants the club driving forward at a pace that resources won't allow (in my opinion).

I posted a few days ago that he also needs to curb his emotions in the derbies at Tynie - it transmits to the players and they respond negatively. It can be very over-bearing and takes the focus off the football being played on the pitch.

[superfurryhibby]

Hibs net is a very polarising place and thank the lord it isn’t particularly reflective of the wider Hibs support.

There are a group of folk who revel in poor results and can’t wait to be all over here stirring ****, then there are the folk who take themselves and football too seriously and jump straight on the bandwagon. There is no reasoning with or persuading these folk.

We are less than a third of the way through the season. There are no consistent trends or patterns to emerge which would give any certainty as to how the season will end up.

We all know we lost three fantastic players, guys who were instrumental in creating such a dynamic side for the last half of the previous season. Anyone with half a brain knows that they were going to be hard, if not impossible to replace, especially on the funds available to the club. Just in case anyone doesn’t know, we have the fifth highest income in Scottish football.

I love football and always will. Hibs are my team and always will be. Sometimes we are good, mostly we are gash. I like it better when we are good.

I’m finding this place becoming something negative in my life and it’s probably time to step away. I’m reluctant, as like reading people’s views, even the ones I don’t agree with. However, this isn’t a healthy place.

Sometimes in life you have to just appreciate what you have. Lennon, warts and all, is a man who can deliver what Hibs need. Failure to recognise this astonishes me.

No ‘folk’ need to remember how big a club we are in the context of the league and country we’re in and that last season wasn’t the pinnacle of achievement but simply a restoration to at least where we should be all the time.

[Franck Stanton]

Where does all this crap come from ? Lennon is on record in last few days stating he " won't let the bigoted idiots drive him out of Scottish football".
Think a few people need to take a chill pill.

[WhileTheChief..]

^Excellent post.

Folk have short memories. We had over a decade of absolute dross and are a million miles away from those dark days.

Of course we will have the odd poor performance but I’ll settle for that over the odd good performance per season of yesteryear.

I wouldn’t change a thing about Lennon.

This place will be even worse when he does eventually leave in a few years and we go back and settle for some nice namby pamby manager again that does us hee-haw for us.

We’ll finish with more points this season than last.

I was just saying a few weeks ago how well Lennon was looking and that he seemed to be in a good place, I would still say the same right now but something has irked him, don't think it's the coin throwing incident, more to do with the abuse he is receiving from the stands and the backing he is not receiving from the club or the SPFL who runs the game, Caldwell and the ex police mans comments must have been a kick in the teeth to Lennon.

Yep, fair comments bud :agree: his health and wellbeing are paramount, he's a top man and a top manager so would be a shame to lose him to the 'fishbowl' mentality that is Scottish football. I was at an event at EM a few months ago and he took time out of Saturday training to speak to those in attendance about mental health, etc. and he was really inspirational. That said, events like last week must affect him. The comments from Les Gray were to be expected, the man is a balloon - and he has previous for aiming criticism at Neil. His previous 'force' couldn't even police U17 Old Firm games properly :aok: anything he comes out with is not worth listening to :agree:

A restoration? ... I’ve been going 40 years and seasons like last year are once in a blue moon.

Maybe but turning that around and maintaining it from that a team that spent 3 years in the championship doesn’t happen overnight

But how many seasons in the last 20 have we been challenging for 2nd?

Unfortunately I think there may be some truth in this. I hope he doesn't give in to the bigots or their supporters, and I will include the policeman and Caldwell in those people who are putting him under pressure.

Think that’s fair. We’re a big club behind Celtic and Sevco, so we should be up there fighting for Europe. Lennon has got us back to where we should be.

[cabbageandribs1875]

I was just saying a few weeks ago how well Lennon was looking and that he seemed to be in a good place, I would still say the same right now but something has irked him, don't think it's the coin throwing incident, more to do with the abuse he is receiving from the stands and the backing he is not receiving from the club or the SPFL who runs the game, Caldwell and the ex police mans comments must have been a kick in the teeth to Lennon.



this :agree:

[jacomo]

Folk have very short memories

A poor start to the season would have been under Stubbs in Championship or under some of the post Collins numpties

Folk really need a reality check on where we come from.


And some folk just have a passive aggressive online persona I suppose?

:rolleyes:

I neither have a short memory, nor do I need a reality check.

The only point I was making was that we had a fairly slow start last season, and so a similar points haul at this stage is not marvellous.

I could write an essay explaining context (summary: Lennon has obviously done better in the League than Stubbs). Or I could just ask that you lighten up a bit, which would take a lot less time.

[we are hibs]

Do you only look at the negatives in every aspect of life or simply Hibs?

Hyndman scored against Hamilton. Probably has a few assists as well.

Mallan has more goals than Allan, Mcginn and McGeouch got combined last season

Has Slivka actually had a bad game this season? He's been in strange positions, often on the bench but he's played well when he has played and our best 2 wins score wise (Dundee and Hamilton) had him playing very well. Totally changed the Asteras game when he came on as well.

Boyle played upfront because our 2 main strikers were injured or suspended. How many players do you actually except Hibs to have? What if we signed another striker and no one ever got injured so he never played? That seems like a good use of wages.

You said you didn't know who I was the other day so how would you know what my outlook on hibs or life is? Has slivka had a good game this season? What did he do against Hamilton and asteras that merits him playing well? Lennon hasn't helped by playing him out of position but when he's been played central he hasn't done himself any favours. I don't think it's unreasonable to have 4 strikers in a squad when we play with 2 up.

My bad on the Hyndman One, read a stat on Twitter from that agent Scotland the other day that he hadn't scored and assisted yet. Still hasn't done enough and doesn't do enough when he finds space.

[jacomo]

Hyndman has scored one and been unlucky not to score more imo
But he has yet to impose himself and make himself a guaranteed starter Good Technical player but balance in Midfield wasn't right on Saturday and no one took the game by the scruff of the neck and drove us forward


:agree:

Slivka should also do this more but seems unable to impose himself enough.

[Ozyhibby]

No ‘folk’ need to remember how big a club we are in the context of the league and country we’re in and that last season wasn’t the pinnacle of achievement but simply a restoration to at least where we should be all the time.

I agree totally. I think since Petrie arrived we have only performed in line with our budget about 3 times in 19 years so people tend to think last years performance amazing. Fact is, it should happen much more frequently.
I totally back Lennon though.

Difficult to do that from the bench.

[we are hibs]

Hibs net is a very polarising place and thank the lord it isn’t particularly reflective of the wider Hibs support.

There are a group of folk who revel in poor results and can’t wait to be all over here stirring ****, then there are the folk who take themselves and football too seriously and jump straight on the bandwagon. There is no reasoning with or persuading these folk.

We are less than a third of the way through the season. There are no consistent trends or patterns to emerge which would give any certainty as to how the season will end up.

We all know we lost three fantastic players, guys who were instrumental in creating such a dynamic side for the last half of the previous season. Anyone with half a brain knows that they were going to be hard, if not impossible to replace, especially on the funds available to the club. Just in case anyone doesn’t know, we have the fifth highest income in Scottish football.

I love football and always will. Hibs are my team and always will be. Sometimes we are good, mostly we are gash. I like it better when we are good.

I’m finding this place becoming something negative in my life and it’s probably time to step away. I’m reluctant, as like reading people’s views, even the ones I don’t agree with. However, this isn’t a healthy place.

Sometimes in life you have to just appreciate what you have. Lennon, warts and all, is a man who can deliver what Hibs need. Failure to recognise this astonishes me.

We have been consistently inconsistent so far this season..thats the problem. It also wasn't impossible to replace them on "our budget" after all we signed all 3 within a lower budget. People said we couldn't replace Allan 3 years ago and signed Henderson and mcginn. It's not impossible at all and we could have done a better job in the summer. People's refusal to recognise that is more astonishing

[Golden Bear]

Mallan, Slivka, Hyndman and Milligan looked the biz against Hamilton. More game time for these guys as a unit please!

[truehibernian]

My overall take on this is that when you look at Neil's 'actions' and the punishments he has received from the authorities, and thereafter look at what the authorities themselves are doing (or not doing) in relation to the main crux - abuse (physical, written and verbal) and religious bigotry - then you have to see it from his point of view. Here's a man who gets bans for performing an 'aeroplane' gesture yet the main men in charge do NOTHING to back him regards the abuse he gets constantly from the stands. Yes, you could argue he could rein it in (and I have) - but think about proportionality - when has Regan, Doncaster, McRae, etc. ever come out with statements against the bile that comes from the stands ? Ever ?

Michael Stewart was bang on at the weekend - enough is enough - and the powers that be need to come out and make a firm stand against it. Funny how Morelos was hit by a coin, after giving it the big cheese after scoring (why not, he's scored a cracker), yet there is not the same media furore ? Shocking he was struck by a coin, idiot fan yet again, but no real media fuss ? Is sectarianism and coin throwing now the social norm as far as the authorities are concerned ? Seems to be the case ! Do we decide who gets press and who doesn't ?

Websites such as Rangers Media should be shut down for a start - it peddles bile, bigotry and is allowed to stay online - why ? Surely the police and their 'Focus' officers see this and have an opinion ? It goes way beyond freedom of speech or expression - it's racial and religious hatred - full stop.

Enough is enough, Lennon is correct on that aspect. And he is getting zero support from the media and the powers that be. If society is to change it's moral compass we need a strong set of individuals in charge of the game with no agenda. Won't happen in my lifetime I reckon. Money and 'power' = keeping the status quo for many of these imbeciles in charge.

[JimboHibs]

Hyndman and Slivka, on the whole, have failed to deliver and contribute significantly to the Hibs cause.

Sporadic bits of clever play here and there from each player is simply not good enough if we are to sustain a serious challenge for a top 4 placing.

Slivka, in particular, has been here far longer than Hyndeman and still we are waiting for him to deliver regular match-winning performances and to play to a high level consistently.

For me, he is no more than a squad filler - a neat and tidy player who can do an adequate wee job coming off the bench for the last 10 minutes of a game we have in the bag.

Thought this thread was about Lennon resigning?

You've got to give up the Petrie hating C.

In the last twenty years we have played well and succeeded under McLeish, Mowbray, Collins, Stubbs and Lennon.

Our club has been in existence for nearly 150 years. We've won 20% of our trophies under the stewardship of RP, by your definition. That is success in relative terms.

We could do better, maybe should do better, but maybe expectations are out of kilter with reality?

And that then becomes a weapon to slate the ownership and management, made all the easier by throwaway vehicles like social media that create a narrative that isn't backed up by fact.

[The_Horde]

Firstly, hopefully it's bull**** at this stage of the season..

Secondly though, i'd say he is replaceable. Yes league results at the end of last season were good but cup results have been iffy and our lack of wins in places like Perth, Aberdeen and Ross County have been poor with no signs of improvement either.

On top of this I trust Dempsters judgement 100%. If anyone will find the right person it's her.

[Libby Hibby]

If he goes, he goes.

I like Neil Lennon, I genuinely feel he is the best manager we have ever had but something just isn’t quite right at present.

I would really like him to be at ER for years but if he feels that he is better off away, then so be it. It might turn out to be best for all parties.

Unfortunately they didn't do it against Celtic, Hearts and St Johnstone, most of the top 6 teams will score a few against Hamilton, they were fairly poor against Celtic, dragged down to Hearts levels and looked decidedly average on saturday.

100%.

NL has got us back to where we belong pretty quickly, good work in doing so.

Our next challenge as a club, and that's everybody not just NL, is to push on and make sure we perform consistently in the top 4 at the very least in the top league, with regular finals into the bargain in the cups.

And that's where NLs bad loser / ambition may kick in......if we fail to achieve what we all aspire to he may well move on. However worth pointing out that he's not alone in carrying the can IF we don't achieve something like what's highlighted above. Because, as Speedway observes, that's where we should be.

Yup absolutely spot on...and these words or something similar to them should be pinned up in the dressing room, at East Mains, and in the Boardroom at Easter Road.

Oddly enough and on a thread about our manager, I think he realises that too and shares the frustration of a lot of us that European qualification should be the smallest the bar is set at Hibernian every year.

[MWHIBBIES]

Players or staff who were privy to what was said after the game will tell family or friends before running to the media, more like once the press have heard something that a journalist may get in touch with a player to find out if any truth in the story, talking to the press may backfire on player or staff if he gets caught.

Someone close to Lennon tweeted on Saturday night that we aren't allowed to talk about on here, I mentioned it as well and I heard it from a players mate what Lennon allegedly said, the media will pick up on it soon enough, the two posters on here who have spoke about it would suggest this isn't a load of nonsense.

This has got a bit of the “Mixu’s gone” feeling to it (albeit he did eventually go).

Am sureennon wouldn't of been happy as I know I wasnt as it's the first game in ages that I thought this is such a poor prrformance I wouldn't want this repeated against Aberdeen or we would get beat
Am sure he probably let rip and said things in the heat of the moment given the Derby Aftermath

If that makes me passive, aggressive or a mixture of both or whatever then I am guilty as charged.

That seems harsh. The positives which Lennon has brought to Hibs during his time as manager steamroller any negatives and I would be very disappointed if there's any truth in this latest rumour. If there IS any truth in it and it comes down to the fact he feels he's had enough of the the abuse he's been getting ever since he's played and managed in Scotland then he has my every sympathy and my 100% support. His health issues are well documented and you could see why putting himself in the front line week in week out would get to be too much for anyone, even someone with a tough a skin as Lennon.

Can anybody offer some "subtle" clues for those of us who have been busy at work and not keeping up (I know, I know, but there's a first time for everything ... :wink:)?

Undermines the club and everything we are striving to achieve if the managers position has a question mark hovering over it. I’m not sure if Lennon created this uncertainty this time but he certainly did last season. I’m thinking of it in terms of future players who might not want to come to a club with such uncertainty, players who are already at the club might also suffer. Supporters buying tickets/ season tickets can suffer. All this needs put to bed by either Lenny or someone at the club because all this negativity isn’t good at all. A win on Friday evening would give everyone at the club a much needed lift. :flag:

aww does Gerrard not want to answer questions on why he took the easiest option for his first gig, and it just also happens to be the most vile sectarian institution in Britain bar none







i do like the comment about him 'slipping' though...he done plenty of that in his playing days :agree:

We could do with milligan at défensive mid, for a start.
mallan in front of him.
Porteous at centre half.
Boyle on the right.
horgan wide left.
then either flo/Jamie Mac up top
or Flo with hyndman just off.

the line up v Celtic, hearts and saints wasnt at the races.

We need Flo and MacLaren up front, the problem is the imbalance on getting the defence and midfield right to support them, do we go with wing backs or wingers? Gray wide right or Boyle?

For me we need to find our best team and stabilise things a bit. Lennon has been over tinkering for the sake of it at times.

I`d like to see the banner in support of Neil Lennon being displayed at Pittodrie on Friday night.

the ONE NEIL LENNON banner should be at every game from now on.

(easy to say when it's not me lugging it around mind)

Are you allowed to say what level of fitness each player in the squad is currently operating at just now? A percentage off peak maybe?

Yes but I have been sworn to secrecy...

But in all seriousness, when we did have a solid base there we were winning games, tinkering for the sake of it, dropping Milligan back into defence for example, has not helped keep that settled team, which is important especially when we have an all new midfield.
