Got to think the Leicester/Rogers discussions have been going on for longer than today.
lawyers and agents don't earn their cut by tying up contracts in a couple of hours. Celtic supposedly gave Rogers permission to speak to Leicester this morning and he is signed up as the new manager before kick-off tonight. Its been going on behind the scenes long before Puel got emptied.
Whether things were moving before Lennon left us is debatable .

People suggest he’s a good manager. If that were the case, he’d still be Hibernian manager. I’m also glad he’s away and hopefully taken his media circus and all that it entails with him. I hope we ram it right up him and his new club on Saturday!

For the conspiracy theories to be true a lot of stars would have had to be perfectly aligned. Interesting, but I would say unlikely.

Good post.
I don’t know what has gone on but it’s just added more intrigue to a story I hoped was dying down.
If he was negotiating with Celtc while still employed by Hibs that surely would have been a clear breach of contract and Hibs would have said so. Instead we released a joint statement that apportioned no blame to either party.
But I’m well aware that lots of business in football happens outside the official channels - which also makes it harder to prove.

So far 131 people think that Lennon knew Leicester's manager would be getting sacked and Rogers would be away to Leicester so Lennon could move back to Celtic and he deliberately ****ked up the Hibs job in the process? Rubbish!
Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

He did get sacked for that, regardless of the glowing joint statement. The only question is the intent or lack of.

This whole things stinks of contrived and well planned sequence if events, and reflects the type if people working I football, especially at the top end where money talks and it really does show that they are businesses with strategies in place to keep them in shape.
Lennnon I have no doubt was an informed party to what the plans and I just hope that Hibs didnt agree to pay him and Parker off with a significant amount of money, and.if we did I hope that there will be some information thatbecomes available that allows us to challenge whats taken place, or the facts around his behaviours here come out into the open.
Other than that, we will progress without him, he served a purpose and took us forward, now Heckingbottom and Stockdale will get to work and deliver beyond the point where Lennon couldnt.
Onward to what the future brings.

Could Hibs fans be more paranoid than Celtic's now?

He was only "officially" granted permission to talk on Tuesday.

As for Petrie and Lawell, let’s see.
Hibs don’t sell McGinn to Celtic, goes to Villla instead, with a reputed big sell on clause. Lawell played a blinder right enough.
Hibs sign Scott Allan on a pre contract. In the meantime Celtic carry on paying 6000-8000 k/ week to a player who doesn’t kick a ball- quality again from Lawell.
Hibs remove manager who was failing in his job. He goes to Celtic, thereby probably negating anypayments Hibs were making to him.
Anyway, you are worryingly obsessed, possibly in love with or at the very least, totally infatuated with our former manager.

Lawwell bawsed up over McGinn and and was ridiculed over it. Because of that we never got Scott Allan and the midfield struggled.
Hibs lost their manager who had given up the ghost and never got any compensation when he magically appeared again as Celtic boss.
Our club have been had by a couple of snakes.

So in summary, Celtic lost out on McGinn, a Celtic fan and a player widely tipped to reach the highest level. A committed and passionate player who might have been a mainstay of their side for years to come- blinder by Lawell right enough.
Celtic continue to fork out c 300,000 k in wages to a player who hasn’t kicked a ball all season.
Back of the net there then?
Celtic gain an erratic but charismatic temporary manager who was failing big time in his previous employment. A man who’s teams previous three months form was relegation standard. A man who was looking increasingly forlorn, clueless and had by many accounts lost the support of his players and board. Oooftt, clinical finishing there, lol.
Nah, you’ve convinced me, pair of snakes right enough.
