It’s all likely correct that, but the fundamental issue seems clear, the majority of the squad simply don’t like Lennon, and won’t play for him. Edouard is a disgrace tbh, but it’s the managers job to get the best from the players at his disposal. Lennon has just about got the worst. He should go to the board and resolve this like an adult and leave, but I suspect he knows he was blessed t be handed a machine in good running order, and plenty of momentum built up. He neglected it through stupidity, obduracy, incompetence or most likely a bit of all three, and it’s now banjaxed needing a complete reboot and possibly a few new parts. He unfortunately is just standing there looking at it gormlessly and scratching his head, whilst demanding his salary is paid in full for this body of work, as well as for another year of standing gormlessly scratching his head, and giving it a few taps with a lumphammer to try and get it to splutter for a few days.
He’s like an old print technician who has become obsolete. He knows he’s highly unlikely to ever command a good wage or big club again, so he’s hanging on for dear life, immune to the fact that others depend on the machine
He’s dead right to be fair. If they want rid of him they’ll have to cough up as you said he won’t have a choice of clubs after this
Edouard carried this team for a full year. He’s a bad season, it happens - players go through poor spells of form. It comes down to management, why he is playing is another issue. He has still got a decent scoring record this year despite the fact he has been awful.
I’ll just pick Klimala out for argument sake. He’s a player who has been fully fit for the whole season, has had a few decent cameos off the bench, seems to have an excellent attitude. We have had our other strikers out of form or unfit and the guy has barely got a look in.
He might not be up to it but for me he looks a damn sight more of a footballer than that fat mess A Yeti. Lennon picks his favourites, he alienates players, he demotivates, he lowers standards. He is the problem with all our on field problmes, Lawwell is the problem with all the off field ones.
Lennon is fucked.
For the rest of his life when he meets Celtic fans they will end up in an argument over this year. If he met them two years ago he would be a legend and they’d be buying him drinks.
Had he resigned in October and said he couldn’t move the club on and in the interests of the club and a chance of the 10 he was stepping back then he would still be known as a Celtic great.
The board also have to take responsibility.
60,000 fans bought virtual season tickets for this year. I doubt there will be a waiting list for real season tickets next year.
Ntcham gone to Marseille. Loan with option to buy.
Never rated him tbh.
Very poor work ethic.
With all the messing going on, Edouard’s value is plummeting. He’ll be bought on the cheap.
Thats an awful price for Celtic, fair enough it was pre covid but this time last year the figure was £15m. Another players thats been Lennoned
Will always live in the memory for that winner in Rome
His contract is up next season I think.
Like Edouard and Ajer, Celtic let their contracts run down too close before trying to renew.
Amateur hour from Lawwell again.
If we weren’t sure if Eddy had downed tools before or if it was a genuine lack of form we are about to find out now I’d suggest, the best mate away.
This Lawwell character has a rather unique characteristic- TFK followers of Celtic all harbour a viscous hatred of him. He’d have the COTY21 sewn up if he was eligible.
Meanwhile…
Lennon IN…
What did he ever do to merit that fee ??
He’s a nice footballer, just very lazy but with a poor attitude.
Porto offered just under that in 2018
I don’t think he’s in poor form, he’s just miserable. He plays like a deeply dissatisfied player. That’s down to the set up, which is down to the manager and board.
He hasn’t been playing well. He’s not the only one but he is by far and away the best player in the club, a lot of players had their form dip long before Edouard. We’d have fucked it up last season only for him.
I think he’s a great player. His form is good. His touch is good. He’s just not trying very hard. I think he despairs. He doesn’t try a leg tbh.
It’s been confirmed that the trip to Dubai cost 400k
Mental
AVB would be a great appointment at Celtic.
