Owen Coyle 4th favourite?

He has no experience of managing in England, let alone the Championship.

 

He has always had bigger budgets to spend than his rivals.

 

He is a long way off the safe pair of hands with a good track record people wanted a week or so ago

I personally don't give a flying fuck whether he went to an ira band night, gay prom night or X Factor audition, I also don't care if he is ginger, blonde or bald.

If he gets us moving up that fucking league he can wear a pink tutu on the sidelines and ill support the short, ginger, dancing queer

So am I reading it right he didn't go to the IRA band night with Stokes the truth is Stokes went and was bollocked by Lennon and fined by the club for attending? It seems strange that the truth seems to be being twisted to suit a particular view of Lennon. That is unless someone can point me to a link where Lennon was with Stokes at another band night.

I'm not completely clued up on this, because I don't care about his religious/political views like most others but that's how I've read it Mounts. Plus you can add to that that he does wear a poppy as proved earlier in the thread, and he's played many times for Northern Ireland.

 

It looks to me like all these things are being twisted just because he managed the rivals of a few of our fans 2nd team up over the border.

 

Neil Lennons Super White Army!!

I must agree

 

However, if he gets the gig let's get behind him

FFS, if you need evidence, just trawl back through this thread. He would not be a unifying force - that's a certainty.

Like the last few managers we've had?

The more I look into this the dafter it seems. People are outraged, but I'm not sure why. Not sure they know really either. Religious sectarian bullshit spouted by idiots who only attend chuch at wedding's / christenings same as most folk. The jocks bang on about it purely because without it they are fuck all in the football world anymore. It gives them a sense of importance in my view. All a bit sad.

Spot on.

 

Im not so sure myself that this is the time or place for such a gamble.

 

But maybe he's the only one prepared to take on the challenge.

 

I doubt the other candidates interviewed would have been enthralled at the financial restrictions the club finds Itself with. Mind you that's just me casting aspersions.

 

Personally I'd have preferred a safe pair of hands with championship experience to first and foremost keep us up.

 

But if the club are going down the route of Lennon then ill back them all the way,as its the only option available.

 

If we do go for Lennon it's the biggest gamble the club have ever made.

 

It really is shit or bust.

 

I just hope to god we are not bumping this thread in 2 years time thinking why the fuck didnt we go for Tony Mowbray.

Well, to put it simply... if it's between this mon and Hughton?

 

I'd pick Lennon too...

People are talking as if its a definite he has the job, have i missed summat?

If that's the official choice...

 

I think I probably would too.

Oh and not all Bolton fans follow Rangers I have liked Celtic since being a kid so i would be pleased as punch to have him

I honestly think when you dig a little deeper the names in the frame none of them are a pair of safe hands the best record is Mackay when he got Cardiff promoted and that was bank rolled, Clarkes a coach first and foremost, Hughton just has the air of a media nice guy Mowbray to me not got the drive and desire we need in my eyes and his record show he initially does well then tapers off quickly. I've said it before I'd like Browny as it would bring the club together and I don't think he's a bad manager and he's definitely a good coach, but if it's not him Lennon looks like he has the drive,desire and passion that this job requires upto now no one has put a constructive argument to not employ him as manager.

Same here

 

High five Snoopy?!

Any appointment is a gamble

 

Whoever is in charge......... COYWM

this appointment is only divisive if so called supporters make it so

 

perhaps its time folk realised theyre not the important thing here

 

its all about bwfc, not them

Managers aren't supposed to be liked.

 

It's all about getting out the shitty mess we are in. 

 

NLSWA

 no one has put a constructive argument to not employ him as manager.

 

 

i think ian did exactly that in the post you quoted

That's asking folk not to have an opinion

 

As daft as any anti-Lennon crap is

12-1 on for Lennon on Paddy Power now.

I'd certainly give him every chance and would sincerely hope he proves himself outside of the big fish in a small pond managerial situation he had while at Celtic.

 

The Champions League isn't 'a small pond'.

his record doesn't look that good away from Celtic and I doubt if he had to do much rebuilding there in his time.

 

Who else has he managed 'away from Celtic'?

i think ian did exactly that in the post you quoted

Good point but I ment from a religious/sectarian view point nothing yet convinces me he shouldn't be considered, the candidates listed none are a pair of safe hands in my view based on their managerial records.

Hughton's record is just as good. Promoted as champions with Newcastle and play-offs with Birmingham.

This.

Up to now he's not been anywhere long enough for me to give him the tag safe hands the Birmingham team he took over was recently relegated so still had a lot of quality and they lost the play off, same with Newcastle still had lots of quality and players like Kevin Nolan make it a lot easier, he's not for me, too nice and don't see the desire or drive.
