oggybwfc Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 The more I read about him,the more I admire the bollocks of the man. Not many other managers would put up with being attacked in the street,attacked by supporters from the stands,bullets sent in the post and his name constantly dragged through the mud. Fair play to the bloke for sticking it out. Moaners in the west stand throwing their screwed up werthers wrappers to the floor in anger will seem like small fry to him. Well said, but "Never let the truth come before a good story" Like others have implied if he does sign we could become hated again, and that too me is better than Apathy. In the words of Andy Capp, "They never Boo a nobody" Quote
Ani Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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 Quote
Ratwhite Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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 Quote
Eddie Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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!! Quote

He is a long way off the safe pair of hands with a good track record people wanted a week or so ago I must agree However, if he gets the gig let's get behind him Quote
mickbrown Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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? Quote
jayjay Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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. Quote
gonzo Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I must agree However, if he gets the gig let's get behind him 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. Quote

Well, to put it simply... if it's between this mon and Hughton? I'd pick Lennon too... Quote
Guest pansyroadwhite Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 People are talking as if its a definite he has the job, have i missed summat? Quote
gonzo Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Well, to put it simply... if it's between this mon and Hughton? I'd pick Lennon too... If that's the official choice... I think I probably would too. Quote
Guest pansyroadwhite Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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 Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) 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 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.

superjohnmcginlay Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Any appointment is a gamble Whoever is in charge......... COYWM Quote
Casino Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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 Quote
darwen_white Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Managers aren't supposed to be liked. It's all about getting out the shitty mess we are in. NLSWA Quote
Casino Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 no one has put a constructive argument to not employ him as manager. i think ian did exactly that in the post you quoted Quote
jules_darby Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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 That's asking folk not to have an opinion As daft as any anti-Lennon crap is Quote
COYW Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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'. Quote
COYW Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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'? Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited October 12, 2014 by Mounts Kipper Quote
COYW Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 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 Hughton's record is just as good. Promoted as champions with Newcastle and play-offs with Birmingham. Quote
paulhanley Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Hughton's record is just as good. Promoted as champions with Newcastle and play-offs with Birmingham. This. Quote
