He was a disrespectful prick back in May.

Can't disagree with that. At a time he should have been trying to attract players to the club or keep our better ones he was saying he might be offskie. Disrespectful and stupid imo.

He made a careless comment in the immediate aftermath of a very painful defeat.

For the quality of football he'd had our team playing for the few months prior to that he deserves to be cut a bit of slack.

In amongst a lot of conjecture we know a few things as fact:-

Lennon and Rodgers are firm friends

Both Rodgers AND Lennon fell out with their club boards over spending last summer.

Puel’s been a dead man walking since April

When that happens, managers and agents are busy behind the scenes lining up potential candidates

Lennon has connections with Leicester

Lawell and Hibs don’t get on

Informed Conjecture:-
Celtic fans and media convinced Rodgers was tapped up last summer by Leicester

Both managers p*****d off with deals they had agreed between them last summer (McGinn to Glasgow, Allan to Edinburgh)

Both managers relations with their CEO’s had cooled.

Both had hit a ‘Glass Ceiling’ of ambition.

Pointless speculating as we will never know. It does seem to be a rather well timed series of events coincidentally unravelling at the same but it seems to have worked out well

Cos we've got Heckingbottom and were playing sexy
Hibs are flying don't you know
Him and Robbie Stockdale
Singing F****** Hail Hail
Of Tae Europe here we goooo

to the tune of Rod Stewart do ya think im sexy.

One of the first song suggestions on here that I didn’t hate, which is some achievement. I like it, get it to the singing section and we’re good to go.

[Smiggy 7-0]

Like many others on here I thought Lenny was past his sell by date. Things were never right after that game at Tynie.
Maybe the conspiracy theories are right (IMO there is something there) or maybe they are wrong. But time to move on, Lenny is gone, he gave us good times and bad as we have all experienced in the past. We have a new manager who seems to have got us off to a good start, and there are some big games coming up so let's forget it and move on with 3 pts vital tonight.

I’ve asked this a few times without a reasonable answer. Why didn’t he just resign a few months ago when he seemingly decided to ‘engineer’ being suspended and eventual ‘mutual consent’?

Was Parker in on this ‘engineering’ or was Lennon throwing him under the bus too?

[HibsNibs]

just glad I can go back to hating the ****

I agree, there’s always a swarm of hornets following him about and it’s probably better the circus stays in Glasgow. He really doesn’t deserve it but it won’t just disappear in Scotland, he’s right back in the hornets nest now though!

Yeah, surprised he went back there, and all the sh*t that entails

Snakey wouldn’t resign as it wouldn’t look good for him in terms of Scottish football. The way he left, left lots of avenues open to him and his pals in the media playing the poor Lenny card as transpired. Snakey was at it big time and he’s back where he thought he would be.

He resigns in rage for not being backed or this new laid back Lenny taking everything on the chin? While behind the scenes bullying some of the players. Masks slip, his did.

Because he was waiting for Rodgers to be ‘manager-in-waiting’ for the Leicester job perhaps? It appears that Rodgers probably accepted the role at Christmas after Puel had his ‘crisis’ meeting with the Leicester board.

[Northernhibee]

Y'know, I don't care. Either he was just never going to turn round his bad run of form or he always had the best interests of Neil Lennon at heart rather than Hibs, and either way that means we're better off with Hecky.

I just hope that all the things he's said that I thought were wildly disrespectul but others were OK with - the boyband comment, the rants, the comments singling out Flo, the "free transfers and rejects" comment, the threats to leave - I hope that the players remember them and are determined to show him what a proper winning mentality is like.

Board members at Celtic discussed Lennon replacing Brendan last year. He was always their contingency plan. I was speaking to a business contact in December and he told me about the conversations. The same guy owns a company that has a very strong commercial relationship with both clubs. He is a Celtic fan.
I have absolutely no doubt that Lennon knew this was the case and he consciously engineered his exit from the club.

[ancient hibee]

I wouldn't do business with him bud.He's clearly got a big mouth and can't be trusted.

Critical thinking isn’t really your forte. Resigning makes him look bad but Hibs being pish for months on end before him being suspended and effectively sacked doesn’t. Ffs.

No it doesn’t. He had his media pals to blame lack of ambition from the club. Did anyone outside of our support think this season was down to the snake in the dugout? No. The prodigal son happy go lucky Lenny is back in paradise.

Resigning is also him breaking his contract with us so he would surely have to pay us compensation.

You got admit though it really is the stuff of legends. A Hibs manager has the wherewithal to engineer Leicester City to sack Claude Puel then appoint Rodgers just so Lenny can get a temporary gig at Celtc. Amazing stuff!

FWIW I believe it's coincidence rather than anything else, but do you really think anyone is suggesting that Lennon got Puel sacked?

Really?

Gutted we lost a great manager and kept a greedy accountant. I can see another few years ahead we don’t need. Remember the demonstrations. The Cup win saved his skin for a while.

Sadly, too many people in our support who have consistently pointed the finger at all of the managers, players and staff over the years will continue to point the finger at the managers, players and staff in the future years. While they continue to allow those who have been at the club throughout it all completely off the hook.

Wow!
47% actually think this was all subterfuge. That NL planned all this?!
There are some bat$h1t crazy barstewards in our support.

Never has a situation been so methodically engineered with such precision and a string of unlikely coincidences, since Eric Cartman managed to get Scott Tenorman to eat his dead parents in a chilli-off.

The stuff of lunacy. Mentalists.
