Sheep62 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Flattered Mr Deflector but you're right I am in danger of posting almost as much about The Victims as you do about my team.

I think he expected to be off to a bigger league and whilst it's not really our fault that he isn't i.e. we didn't receive an offer that would cover PSG's % and give us the £20m we wanted, I thought the way NL dismissed it was patronising...he's just a kid, his head's been turned but he'll learn. Edouard is our best player by a mile and he knows it and I don't believe he's currenlty giving 100%. Whether that's just out of anger at the club or a mixture of club and NL I don't know but his importance to the team is massive and if we can't get him back on side I don't think we'll make it TIAR. Or testing positive for covid has set him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worse than losing to the fourth seeds in your Europa League group 4-1 at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I am probably misremembering things, but is this not almost precisely what happened to Neil Lennon first time round, in that he’d taken Celtic as far as he could and, when trying to take them further (i.e in Europe and against better coached domestic teams) got rather shown up? To put it another way, did Celtic fans (and indeed the board) really expect a different eventuality? It seemed at the time, and it seems now, that Celtic took the cheap, better-the-devil-you-know option. All of which is rather a long way of saying that I think the board, rather than Lennon, are at fault for Celtic getting shown up.

The appointment, whilst completely lacking in ambition, guaranteed domestic success as long as the blue bigots were shite. Now that they've clicked a bit, Lennon's shortcomings, which we've seen before at several clubs, have been unearthed again. Lennon's appointment showed that board weren't that bothered in producing a team that could achieve performances in Europe that would satisfy the fans. If they'd put a bit of thought, and some money, into an appointment, then maybe the signing of over priced pish like Ajeti, Klimala and Duffy could have been avoided.

I didn’t realise that teams were put randomly into the four pots, I thought that it was done by ranking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be his professionalism and match prep thats the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Lennon has full control over transfers. No chance did he know much about Klimala and you can see that with how many new players he hasn't really played. Putting all the recruitment errors or successes on Lennon is just lazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
