    Looking at the full picture of all events, the secrecy, the sudden suspension and now this then yes, I'm thinking he was led to believe the Celtic position was going to be available fairly soon and he was asked if he was interested/wanted it.

    He left under a cloud the last time claiming the board didn't match his ambitions etc now all of a sudden he's jumping off a flight to take over without any "formal talks" with the board, reassurances or time to think it over?

    He's not going to have a transfer window to operate in, so funds won't matter.

    I heard a whisper during the whole affair that he was going back to Celtic during the summer and had to be free of commitments in order to take it on.

    I thought it was nonsense so didn't share it on here, even though it came indirectly from a very good source.

    He will if he's been assured that he gets the job if they win the double. He's not going to just go in there for 4 months with nothing else to gain.

    He's certainly not been oblivious to any of the situation and was about to go abroad when he got a phone call......
    "Lenny, you want the job for 4 months, Brendans left" "Brendans left? How did that happen, I thought he was happy?" "yeah it's shocked us too, we didn't see it coming but fancy coming back until the summer, we're sorry about the reasons you left last time" "Aye, sure **** it, I'll be there in a couple of hours"

    I don't really care one way or another.

    His time was coming to an end regardless and I don't believe for a minute he contrived to lose games deliberately to force the issue.

    That's a shame.

    Would have been a great scoop.

    Five threads on the MB now about an ex Hibs manager. Can we merge them into one please?

    If he has manipulated this he should be banned from football as it is outrageous. I hope it’s not true but it all seems to add up.

    Lennon is a plan B, original target didn’t want job on interim basis.

    Who cares?! We have a new manager and we've moved on (or so I hoped). Two big matches this week that we need to win. Let the media and Celtic fans talk off the pitch- we'll do it on it. C'mon Hibs.

    Get in a fret about it if you want man. Like with any conspiracy theory, there's a much simpler explanation that makes more sense.

    Congratulation on, I think, being the first to put those words together today.

    By using those words you must be telling the truth!

    Which is odd because going in the summer would have meant that he was permanent manager but Celtc have only decided (seemingly) to make him an interim manager. Bet Lennon is proper pissed off after working his ticket at Hibs for the permanent gig.

    Yes.It’s disgraceful that he arranged for someone to get the sack in England from a job that Rogers would want so that he could take over.

    So, will those couple of ar5eh0les that were singing "There's only one Neil Lennon" at the last few games still be doing that?

    Or will they just do the logical thing and follow him to Celtc?

    Why would it have to have been interim in Moyes's case though?

    If you’re a Celtic fan.

    If, as some are saying, this situation has been in the pipeline for weeks (since before 25th Jan?) and Lennon has gained financially at Hibs' expense then I care.

    At the moment it is a big "if" but we'll see what more info comes out.

    I don’t really know, but perhaps that is all Celtic we’re looking for at this stage

    They'll do the logical thing and keep on paying with their hard earned cash just as me and you do to watch the team they support, Hibs.
