    Lennon

    Gone after today. Tactical inadequacy shown again. Wind ups to Gers ahead of match classic pantomime. We are well shot.

    He won’t be gone before the end of the season. No chance of getting the job now though

    He'll no doubt have a good moan about his players not trying and how that's not acceptable for Celtic.
    Meanwhile not accepting any blame for his own performance, poor coaching and lack of motivational skills. Never getting the job now.

    Maybe we can offer him the job again as so many posters were adamant he was the best manager we'd ever have.

    Almost like he was carried off the back of Stubbs' midfield trio and only had 4 really good months at Hibs, isn't it?

    Kilmarnock bound when Clarke inevitably leaves is my bet.

    Personally I don't care, as long as they win that ****ing final.

    I can't imagine he's very popular with Celtc Fans right now.

    I don't think he'll manage a club in Scotland again

    Who else would take him?

    He should go on the after dinner circuit. Never a football manager

    We had some great times under Lenny

    He is an excellent pundit and I hope he's back on the tv soon

    We had some great times during Lennons tenure as Hibs manager. Not sure where all the hate comes from.

    So long as it's a subscription service where you have to pay for the Pearl of wisdoms he provides.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Can’t see him being kept on by struggling a Sellick and can’t see him being happy at another Scottish club.

    Think if he wants to remain in management he will do so overseas, but struggle

    He was good for us for a while, but absolutely collapsed in a heap after the Hearts loss and then was just short of a liability.

    He must have been incredibly hard to manage, and I am relieved he moved on.

    Having said all that, I wish him well

    He only needs to beat a crap Hearts team at Hampden and he's managed to achieve exactly what he set out to.

    They might have been poor today but the championship is in the bag.

    We had good times with Lennon and I'm grateful for them. I'm somewhere between lukewarm and uninterested in Cltic whoever their manager is.

    It’s not hate. It’s people not being able to see how bad he was this season. He stumbled across a Championship that most people could have had wrapped up in about the January. He had a good first season back in the top league. This season he was awful for us.

    I don’t hate Lennon. I hate Celtic though.


    Hope they win the final.

    What price are Hearts for the cup? May as well capitalise on the unthinkable.

    If Neil Lennon wants to restore his relationship with any Hibs Fans still miffed about his departure, or the latter part of his tenure at ER, all he needs to do to put things right* is win the Cup Final....preferably by a few goals.








    * This is a light hearted post, please don't overreact.

    Loved Lenny when he was with us - was pissed when he left.

    In retrospect, it definitely was for the best he left though.

    Asides from our Europa League fixtures, and the December win over Celtic, he’s been totally out of sorts since the derby at Tynie last May.

    No idea what’s happened. Can’t see him staying at Celtic, so I wish him all the best.

    I hope PH is as successful and hopefully even more successful as Lennon was at Hibs.

    As long as he wins the cup. Last thing we need is him having a selection brain fart, as he often did in big games for us. Hearts are terrible and Lennon shouldn't be able to make Celtc bad enough on that big pitch not to win.

    Karma. It’s hard to get your mojo back when you down tools for 6 months in the previous job.

    Agree with the first statement. A bit of realistic observation might answer your second point, although I think ‘hate’ is a bit strong. For example, having led us into a poor run of form in the second half of the season, he behaved in a questionable manner on occasions in terms of his managerial duties, antagonised and openly rounded on individual players and apparently, lost the dressing room. Some say he engineered a move away from Hibs and in a short space of time landed back at his first love, Celtic, where he was quoted as saying he could never really celebrate a Hibs goal against Celtic and even told his assistant to sit down and shut up when he celebrated Hibs goals against Celtic. I’m sure there is a substantial element of truth in these ‘facts’ and fair justification for Hibs supporters to be relieved he has gone and have sour memories of him, if not actually hatred.

    Aye wasn’t overly fussed about him leaving as we were ***** and changes were needed but as for his pandering to the Celtic masses saying he couldn’t celebrate a goal for Hibs against celtic made me rediscover my hatred for him before he came to us

    I remember when Lennon was 1st rumoured as being interested in the Hibs job there was more than a few people suggesting we were embarrassing ourselves by even considering it possible. They regarded it as almost impossible that Lennon would sully himself by managing Hibs. The reality was his stock was low after a mitigated disaster at Bolton and he needed us every bit as much as we needed him.

    Say what you like about the Championship season, it was a grim watch at times, but he got the job done. He then had a steady start in the top flight before an explosive 2nd half of the season saw us finish a brilliant 4th. If there is one criticism of that period it's his decision making in 2 semi finals that ended in disappointment. This season was always going to be tough but the manner of our collapse in the weeks leading up to Lennons departure was unexpected and pointed to a total breakdown in relationships at the club.

    All in all Lennon was good for Hibs, we were good for him and I certainly don't hate him. However I never believed he was irreplaceable, he's not a great manager by any stretch of the imagination.
