What has he actually done? He is accused of being anti-remembrance but there's plenty of photos of him wearing a poppy. Then he is supposed to enjoy a good old IRA sing song when he is on the record attacking sectarian chants & accusing Scottish based Celtic fans of knowing f@ck all about the realities of the situation in Northern Ireland.

From what I can gather,the blue half of Glasgow has tried to throw as much shit at him as humanly possible.

 

He played for ulster he got bullets sent to his house.

 

He spat on a rangers scarf in 04 so someone sent a bomb to his house and got attacked in the street.

 

He bought a piece of land that was once owned by a bloke who knew someone that might have been connected to the IRA. He had another bomb sent to his house and death threats made.

 

 

It's all tit for tat bollocks that belongs in Glasgow,not in Bolton.

 

He's better off out of there IMO.

He played for ulster

I do not want Lennon, for reasons mentioen in this thread.

 

It does interest me that given his gig with the BBC he can hardly be desperate for work, given our league position and financial position the job could seem one to avoid, so can only assume PG and/or ED must have been able to sell him the job, implies maybe we are not is as much of a mess as it looks.

Your point was that 'his record doesn't look that good away from Celtic'. He doesn't have a record away from Celtic. Good or bad. It's a daft point.

Haven't got a clue what your trying to counter argue but my point was we are maybe appointing a man who has no real managerial record apart from 1 club. Is that easier for you

It's still a daft point. It might make more sense if he'd managed that one club unsuccessfully.

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

 

That would be my concern.

 

But he, like anyone else appointed, will have my full backing to do a big & difficult (and NOT short-term) job.

 

But he, like anyone else appointed, will have to show he is moving us in the right direction, however slowly, or be judged accordingly.

You mean the "£163m" isn't a fact?

 

Spot on

Is Chris being lined up as The Big Mick for 2015 then? I won't breathe until I see Lennon or A.N. Other posing with a scarf or stood in The Macron...

 

It's good to know the runners and riders so early tho'...

 

Unless we get one from way out of left-field. Happened before.

So winning a one team league is classed as success in your book

 

Qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League is. Take a look at their current league position.

It's an imaginative appointment. It was a decent shortlist so if he was the best candidate, he must have something about him. Let's hope it works out.
