If someone else built the team for him and he just had to coach them and motivated him, sure. If he was in charge of transfers as well, definitely not. Made an absolute arse of replacing Stubbs team, a team that was built entirely in the championship on 9k season ticket holders.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

We also started the second season back up well and were top of the league by October, not forgetting a good (by Scottish club standards) European run.

There never were. The day he left everyone was in complete shock, no one said they saw it coming.
The general feeling amongst the fans was that the board hadn’t supported him enough in the summer. Even through that run of 14 the fans were generally right behind Lennon and saying it was down to the players.

I remember someone at Hibs calling Lennon a 'flip chart manager in a digital era'. Tbf the same person went on to list several qualities Lennon had as well so it wasn't a wholly negative assessment.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

When you say 'I remember saying at the time'......is that like when you remember thinking at the time McNulty had got himself sent off deliberately in the Derby?

This isnt true at all. There were many wanting him gone around that time.

Theres a thread from full time in his final game we lost away to Motherwell. Plenty people thinking it was time for him to go.Last edited by we are hibs; 27-08-2020 at 04:00 PM.

I also don’t remember the support questioning the boards backing, we spent money on Horgan, Mallan, making Kamberi permanent and signed Milligan in the summer window. There was lots of criticism that we had recruited poorly, and worries about the midfield, but that’s not the same as saying the board didn’t back him. Our recruitment was poor for a number of years, particularly the summer windows, so it wasn’t an issue unique to Lennon. However I’d say that he had one exceptional January window and 3 poor windows overall.
I was responding to your recollection of his last season so not just an opportunity to have a dig at Lennon. It’s not really relevant to my reply above but before the wheels fell off he deserves credit for promotion, getting 4th and the fantastic ride there in the second half of the season. As well as improving an already very good midfield unit and players like Boyle etc.

Slivka at right wing back more than once (I think), that Killie game where we got skelped 3-0 and he played about 7 defenders. Lewis Allan getting a run in the side despite being woefully out of his depth. I’m sure there’s more.

Heard Christie’s refusing to sign a contract extension, and fancies a move to the Premier league
All in all, doesn’t sound a happy camp

I detested Lennon as a player, wasn't that keen when he was appointed, accepted him when we had a decent run of results but wasn't that fussed when he departed.

Stokes (talking as a Celtic supporter) just on Reporting Scotland, seeming to just shrug off their defeat last night and saying 10IAR is all that matters. Pretty blinkered, parochial viewpoint as surely ECL participation is more financially rewarding than 9.75 IAR.

Glad he’s gone.
And who’s fault will it be this time? I hear he is ‘carrying the can’ in a sort of ‘its all the players fault’ way.Last edited by judas; 27-08-2020 at 06:19 PM.
