    I've just had a text to say he's taking over after the Euros.
    I think one of the red tops reported that a couple of weeks ago.

    I can’t remember loads of terrible Stubbs signings? If he brought in about 30, loads of which were terrible... that suggests you could name double figures? Surely not.
    Feruz, Sinclair, Carmichael, Anier, Eckersley, Dagnall, Insall. Then you had the keepers Cerny, Virtanen and Reguero who didn’t really get much of a game I suppose. Likes of DjeDje and Keith Watson perhaps.

    Thought he wanted to leave Killie due to the sectarian issues in Scotland.

    Doubt he will get another big job. Will probably land a comfy pundit role somewhere.

    That’s actually a decent stab to be fair 😂 even if I don’t agree with them all as being terrible.

    I’ve gone totally blank - who was Sinclair?

    Scott Sinclair’s brother, he came on loan from Southampton.

    I was at the St Patrick’s branch meeting at the Hibs Club where Darren McGregor basically said Lennon was too strict and not such a good man manager whereas Stubbs was a nice guy but didn’t have enough steel as a manager. This was in response to being asked “who the best manager he’d played under” was. Basically somewhere in between was his ideal Manager. They are few and far between.

    Wish him all the best.

    A good job done at Hibernian. Likeable dude. Lovely ginger hair. Loved when he gave that specky Hearts bam some back - Nobody disrespects the Hibs. Especially some no mark, no trophy, no lips, farm dweller.

    Welcome back in Leith any time.

    All the best Neil.

    Lewis Stevenson recently said that Lennon is the best manager he has played under. Most players react to criticism differently I suppose.

    He also said there were times he hated him and he wouldn’t even give the team a formation, let alone tactics for a game. It wasn’t as glowing as the headline suggests by a long shot.

    Not aware of the article you may be talking about. I got it from this interview around the time of his 500th appearance.

    Basically some reserves, squad fillers and sub goalies. The real signings were mostly good.

    A job as a pundit would be good for NL and good for his health. He's had great success as a manager and player. All the best to him.

    Lennon has made a career out of landing on his feet at good sides. He's never taken over a toiling team and made them better. He even had the excuse of Bolton being a financial mess to hide his failings. He's the luckiest manager ever in terms of jobs and continually gets found out whenever it gets challenging.

    If that was the meeting McGregor attended with Swanston thenhe never said any such thing about Lennon.

    No chance is he getting another job of any substance.

    Tactically he’s never been great and his default solution when things go wrong is to abdicate responsibility and blame everyone else.

    The fact he often comes across as a bit unhinged won’t be that attractive to employers either.

    You're a tough judge. Look at his record - he's had a great career as a player and as a manager for top clubs in Scotland and England - and he's played for his country.

    And he's also made a second career as a pundit.

    Maybe clever people just keep making good choices?

    Good luck to him.

    I think he's looked a far more relaxed man the few weeks and that's because he knew he was always about to do this.

    Wish him all the best. He's suffered some horrible stuff and pretty shameful in this country.

    I wish him nothing but the very best.

    Good luck Neil.

    That’ll be the last big job he gets.

    I’d be surprised if he manages again, reckon he’ll end up a pundi

    I think “resign” is just a way for him to help him keep his integrity in this, And that there will be compensation agreed ..

    I think if Lennon fancies working again he will have decent options . Other than Bolton, he has had success everywhere and with Celtic some big successes ...all managers end up getting sacked, I would think that will matter little clubs looking at him..

    He’s still young - Wouldn’t at all be surprised to see him managing again. Could see Aberdeen going for him if they get rid of McInnes (for example)

    He'll be lucky. Left Celtic and Hibs poorer teams than the ones he took over

    Celtic giving him a new contract in the first place was the big mistake. They had it far to easy and started investing income far too late and with no real plan to build. They pretty much need a whole new defence. Who ever gets that gig will have a hard job catching Rangers. Celtic fans are not going to except any chat about Stevie Clarke etc.

    Yep, I really enjoyed the vast majority of his time at Hibs. All the best to him.

    Hopefully we'll see Celtic turn in one of those 'post-manager' performances teams often seem to come up with and thump Aberdeen this weekend.

    Agreed, it was clear there was no way he was resigning or he would have long before now. Biscuit tin mentality still prevails at Celtic Park it would seem, he should have been sacked a long time ago.
