People that argue that sometimes he has winning ugly.isn't that what Alot of fans have cried out for years?winnings what matters at the end of the day sometimes we will win playing great football(utd game etc.)and other times we will have to grind out boring 1-0 wins.I like the fact we can do a bit of both at times.especially as the squad is a work in progress.

His comments about the usual boyband and players not taking responsibility ect are out of order IMO.
This current Hibs team give everyone for the club and they deserve better than to be publicity slated by their manager after a narrow cup defeat.

Laughing at all this "winners attitude" nonsense. We are scraping by with a 50% win rate in the Championship and only looked like winning it due to the other teams being utter dross and not pushing us enough. We could finish with less points than last season and people still think we have improved
I'm content for him to stay next season but if we could get Stubbs or Alex Neil I would absolutely take them over Lennon.

Next season will be the time to judge him. Although Stubbs failed twice, with no Hearts or Rangers this year, we would have needed to be horrendously bad not to have won the Championship this year.
We are now in a league that we should be in and we should be aiming for the top 4 (I don't buy this top 6 target).
I am happy that he wasn't pleased with the opening 30 minutes of yesterday's game because it was embarrassing but at least he had the proactive approach to change it early.
I will reserve judgement until we have played a significant part of next season. We need improvements to the squad and it will be interesting to see who is brought in over the season.
Jury is still considering its verdict for me.

I think that WE are lucky to have him. And with the support that's been shown the past three years or so, he is lucky to have us to.
I'm buzzing for next season."Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

Put it this way, who could we get that's better?
I was very excited when we landed Lennon. At first I didn't think that talk of him coming to Hibs was anything more than speculation because there's no question he's a 'big time' appointment having only recently enjoyed a successful few years as Celtic boss. I thought he was exactly the sort of guy we needed to get us out of the Championship.
With a lesser overall calibre of player to work with than he had in Glasgow I think he's still learning as a manager but will only be the stronger for it and I am quietly confident he can do well with Hibs in the top flight. On the evidence of our cup record against a number of the supposed 'top' teams in recent seasons we have nothing to fear next term and I don't think there's any question we'll kick off in August with a significantly stronger squad than the one we have at present.
No, the football's been far from pretty on too many occasions this season but in the end we've won the league comfortably and while some will quibble about how many draws we had the big difference is that we didn't lose any of those games. That, I think, is down to Lennon who has instilled a stronger mentality along the lines of 'if you're not playing well enough to win then make sure you don't lose.' Had we lost, say, three or four of those drawn games, the league would have been a lot tighter and there's no question that in recent seasons we would more than likely have lost several of those games. Draws can be frustrating but nothing like as dispiriting as a defeat and I thank Lennon that on only three occasions in the league this season has my mood been darkened by a defeat!

Not sure what his contract is? Was it two with a year option? Anyway, the first target of winning the league is achieved. I would suggest that for next season a top six place would be a reasonable target. There is nothing to suggest that there is
a gap between the expectations of LD and NL and he will be given the tools to do the job. As he has never been in charge of us in the SPL I can't know for certain if he is the right man but he has my vote.

Stubbs couldn't work out how to break down packed defences neither has Lennon. Lennon has came in and he has went for let's make sure we don't get beat and let's play it long to much the same end as Stubbs let's keep the ball and play some football often to little effect. Stubbs won more games and Lennon has drawn more and lost less. Not much in it for me in terms of who is the better manager and I think the best approach is probably somewhere in the middle with a manager who praises when its needed and chasticed when he thinks it will get a positive result. A manager who can mix the style to suit the opponent but also has a good eye for a player.

For me Lennon's shown enough to convince me that he's the right man to take us forward.
His man management looks spot on. He's more flexible tactically than Stubbs. Sometimes our tactics don't work, but that's the same for everyone - other teams have tactics too.
And the winning mentality thing counts for everything. It'd be easy to take the foot off the pedal now that the league is won and we're out the cup, but that's obviously not Lennon's mindset. He wants 100% from the players every minute they're on the pitch. He appears to be able to make allowances for players who are tiring or carrying an injury, but pounces on any lack of concentration or application. This is spot on and hugely important IMO.

Lennon has got us up with a weaker squad...yes no huns this year but the championship has been more competitive this year than the last 2 - that's why Falkirk have less points etc. Anyway I don't care how many points we end up with we r up - something stubbs failed at twice

The fact weve got promoted and folk still wanna moan about iur manager? Jeez some folk are never happy. Dont Hibs would have got promoted if wasnt for Lennon and dont think we would have got a better manager comparing last season to now is pointless as some are. We are promoted time ro look forward and im certain Lennon will prosper with Hibs next season GGTTH!

We will see just how much a winner he is next season.
I love virtually everything he says, because its mostly what we are all thinking, but he's hardly made us better although did get us up which is great.
He will be judged properly next season, i hope he succeeds and he has us punching our weight.

We finished third last year behind Falkirk, we barely strengthened the squad at all and we have won the league with weeks to spare.
You don't have to love the manager but he's made us hard to beat and got the job done something Alan Stubbs could not achieve in two seasons.
Lennon is a good manager and hopefully he can bring in some better players this summer as my main issue is hat his recruitment hasn't been great at all, to me it looked like a very restricted budget he was working with so that hopefully changes a bit this summer.
The standard in the SPL outwith the top few is no different from most of the teams in the championship.
