Lennon pay off

[hibIBZ]

Not sure this has been discussed and I know that the actual figures involved would never be released, but how much did Lennon leaving cost the club and how much effect has this had on the playing budget? It was said that Lennon was the highest paid manager we have had, so any pay off would likely be pretty high.

It is clear that we are short in a couple of positons, mainly centre midfield and striker, as we usually play 2 centre mid and only have 3 first team players in that position and if Shaw goes on loan we are looking short in that area too, but budget appears to have been spent.

Great
You first say the actual amount would never be discussed then ask how much him leaving cost the club??

In my opinion his time was up and we have moved on

I agree that his time was up and that has been proved by Celtics average performances since he went back there.

Maybe I didn't word it well, but does any body think his pay off has effected the cash available this year?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Raking over old coals - for what purpose? As you say no one will be in a position to disclose...

[Hibbyradge]

He got nothing.

No, paying Lennon off got us top 6 = more prize money and more ST sales.

Might it not have been the case that we agreed to pay his monthly salary until he took up an offer and so we stopped paying him when he went to Celtic. Or am i being nieve?

It feels like people are just looking for reasons to be negative. Seems like there are lots of trolls/Jambos about at the moment.

That would be the sensible way to do it. I would hope the managers' contracts would contain a clause to that effect.

I think that's the most likely scenario, so it couldn't have cost us too much.

Setting aside lennon specifically for a moment, I’m sure there was some chat about Levein having a clause like that in his Scotland managers contract, and that when he was sacked he purposely rejected job opportunities until his Scotland contract ran out, just to milk every penny from the sfa.

Pure speculation again.

Same as NL contract.


Why bother 🙄

Most managers want to get working as soon again after a sacking!!
Was he not working behind the scenes with Budgie

[Northernhibee]

In regards to the budget I do wonder if this is a hangover from the Lennon era. By all accounts on here Horgan, Whittaker, Mallan, Milligan, Kamberi aren’t or weren’t on cheap wages. Only Milligan has left us so with cheaper players like Bartley etc leaving have we had to fill several gaps in the team with a limited chunk of the overall budget left?

Could that be partly why she is so loyal to him now, if he helped her gratis while still on the SFA payroll?

No you're partly correct, that was the first of four payments....

[Malthibby]

£150,000, could have paid for Griffiths.

Or you could be right?

I heard he got £1.70 for his bus fare i could be wrong though

[FilipinoHibs]

There were strong grounds for dismissing him for serious misconduct.

It looks like there was an agreement for sweeping it all under the carpet and preserving some of Lennon's reputation in return for a reduced or no pay off package. But nobody really knows.

[I'm Spartacus]

No payout, we were also left without anybody additional in charge for 2 weeks so I'd say we saved money, then I'd say PH will be on less money than NL so saving cash again.

Total powder keg way of life with NL in charge.

[Juniper Greens]

I believe I’m right in saying that him getting the Celtic job saved us a six figure sum

[The 90+2]

Would it not have shown in the accounts?
