WELCOME NEIL LENNON OFFICIAL

Hip Priest wrote:If somebody had told me a week ago that Duggie would be gone and Neil Lennon would be managing us I'd have thought they were a raving nutter. Seems just too good to be true. Obviously NL is a bit of a volatile character and to some extent unproven but I'm just Sooooooo so glad the MISERABLE,sterile Freedman era is over and looking forward to a bit of passion being shown around the club again.
This might all end in tears as usual but just at the moment this feels like a BRILLIANT appointment to me.

It doesn't matter that it's  been in a 'tattie pie 'league. Its a league that has been as competitive as the lower end of the Championship and therefore he will be well aware of what's required.
To say he has no experience ,and all that sort of stuff is like saying anyone who changes jobs in the same sector is almost doomed to failure. Its managing a  football club- that's all it is- its not brain surgery or astrophysics.
Of course he can manage at this level.

I'm a bit late catching up with all this as I'm in New England on holiday (because its the international games) but I'm delighted with this appointment.
I don't really buy all this stuff that he's no experience in the English leagues, or the championship, or a club facing relegation, or a club with no money for transfers, etc.,- none of this is essential for success.
He's a motivator, doesn't stand nonsense, builds attacking teams and has  a track record of winning things.
Give him about 3 competitive games and this team will be different in terms of personnel, tactics and mentality.
There'll be fireworks - but that's better than the last 3 years of utter tedium.
Next home game, I'll be turning up at the Macron with expectations of winning and seeing some decent football.
I won't be disappointed

This based on inside knowledge and knowing how Bolton works , well Coyle bombed, and dare i say the late great Nat couldn't even get his head around managing us. So lets stop whinging and get behing the manager.

If we had gone for Mowbray etc we would be saying that the club had no vision, had Lennon gone to Cardiff or Fulham we would have thought they were progressive, well guess what he signed for us so lets give the manager and the board all the support they need to save our season.
