Full Celtic Media Conference: Neil Lennon (02/12/20)

Neil Lennon speaking to the media.

“On the scenes on Sunday, we were disappointed and hurt. I understand the frustrations of the supporters. We are not in a great run at the minute. We are in agreement, we must do better and we have to do that with results and performances.”

Time to back lennon and team. Cant turn it around if fans don't back the team

[annehughes]

Have lived through very very hard times with our beloved club. Remember all of you sack the board and losing league last day of the season. Remember this is our club and what we are. There was no need for those horrible scenes outside Celtic Park on Sunday. They brought us to same level as Sevco fans. Remember coffin outside Celtic Park sent by a certain newspaper. Hail Hail Neil. Coybig 💚💚💚

Neil Lennon & Celtic FC most loved football club in the world. Stay strong Neil & all the players. .God bless

[retrogamerlife]

Good luck Lenny and the Bhoys let's hope things start to change 🇮🇪💚

True Celtic fans know that Neil has given 20 year of his life to Celtic. He’s a Celtic supporter . Get Off His Back. Give the man the support he deserves.
Celtic players, show Neil & us that you are with him & us. Sunday outside the Park was a disgrace ! None of you should be aloud back in !

Baby steps is he really serious???? We need HUGE steps and immediatley!!!! Especially to TRY and save the 10!! If we take baby steps we are even more fucked than I thought!! This is Celtic FC not bloody Livi or Alloa or whoever!! OUR club has really treated our supporters worse than any season before in my eyes. Lennon says the players are hungry and he's right, Hungry for moves away or hungry to hang him out to dry! I know im not alone here but the liewell and desmond spere has gone further into my heart and it hurts so much!! Fucking blaming fans for protesting. What else can we do?? They dont acknowledge " social media " and with no fans in the Stadium what other options do we have?? Our voices must be heard! Sack the board and I will always love Neil Lennon but 99% know its time for a change! I firmly believe liewell wont sack him because of the payout he would have to pay Neil! He's a greedy, arrogant and uncaring piece of shite towards us fans who are what makes this club! Sorry for the rant but I do feel like people would agree with this comment. Such a sad sad time for us all and unity behind the Manager is the wrong thing im sorry it just is. I would like to see Roy Keane in there. Or even Stevie Clarke. If walter smith and ally mccoist walked from Scotland and done it and mcleish, then why shouldn't Clarke. Only my opinion. Hail Hail Ghirls and Bhoys try and stay positive through these horrific times at our club which tbh is basicaly impossible really! We need more protests with social distancing and no violence aimed at police. We are Celtic FC not the other side of Glasgow. Manchester 2008, I rest my case!! One Neil Lennon but sorry he is a Legend and always will be as we know. But its time to go!! 💚💚💚💚

Cmon lenny turn this around I would love nothing more to see u lift the 10

[andrewreilly]

For someone who has played football and who has followed Celtic for 50 odd years I feel for Neil. I am confident that he is the man to turn this season around in spite of what others think. I'd like to wish you all the best Neil and keep your head up.I'd also like to say that if any captain can motivate a team then Scott Brown can.I spoke to him after a Scotland game before he even signed for Celtic and since then he has played with his heart for the club.Hail Hail.

[bnjys]

Lenny looks good here, I think he’s going to turn it around.

[tunes]

Wee Dembele and Turnbull should be getting a run of games and Welsh is another who should be playing more often.

[kl]

Henderson turnball dembele Welsh should all start since there's nothing to lose

[CatsRUs]

Around a month ago you said you'd hold your hands up & walk away if it wasn't working Neil, we're now out of the CL, EL & LC, 11 points behind in the SPFL & the performances have been insipid all season, it clearly isn't working Neil, so why are you still here? Why didn't you stay true to your word & take the decision out of the incompetent boards hands for the good of the club? There's no turning this around & deep down you know it, the players collectively chucked it against Ross County, that doesn't happen unless there's major problems with the management.

Please Neil, for the good of Celtic, resign before the league becomes impossible to overturn. Give us a fighting chance at least under fresh management.

[JM-qnnh]

A think Lennon’s looked depressed in every single interview I’ve seen of him this season and doesn’t show even half of the same passion he used to show when we score or win. How many weeks can we say we just need to turn this around and get good performances yet to see a good performance this season. Not all Lennons fault because the teams hes putting out should be winning most of these games but players don’t look interested as well need a change quickly

[kelsohunt]

Players trying to hard. Really Neil? It's been brutal for months.

[arronblack]

He hasn’t the footballing brain to change things, look at Ross county game. We are losing the game and takes Elhamed off and puts on Duffy FFS!!!All this pish he’s a “Celtic man” that doesn’t cut it this season! I agree with someone’s comments in regards to the young lads getting a run in Milan. Dembele Turnbull and Henderson should get a game

[liamkelly]

Love to see you turn this around love your loyalty to the club and you did not deserve the abuse given by a small number of fans these players need a kick up the to many not realising who paying their wages hail hail

[gaw]

Get the young ones blended in. Turnbull is a must. Stop holding them back Lenny, you can't carry on keeping faith in players that can't do it anymore, or don't want to be there FFS

[jtad]

I wish the minority off fans that done that outside the stadium would apoligise to neil only not the players as its the team thats letting the manager down big time, I understand there raging and frustrated we all are but personal abuse aimed at neil is out of order after what hes done for our club and had to put up with in the past, I think neil can turn it around and hope and pray he does but big changes need made either pre maddonas need dropped the ones that dont want to be here like he said before drop them and possibly start seeing guys like soro turnbull it could be a wee injection of something different that could spark a run that we desperately need, I'd personally like to see us going 442 domestically like he played in his first spell with hooper and stokes up front but not for this game, good luck lenny for the game tomorrow and the rest of the season.

[clashmannumpty]

"it only takes a flick of a switch"? Well if that's the case why didn't you flick the switch before rangers Pumped us at home, Fenecvaros Pumped us out of the Champions League, Sparta Pragues reserves annihilated us home and away and Ross Co humiliated us at home? Oh and 2 wins in 10 is not being sacked for the sake of it, it's getting sacked for not doing your job. Ime sorry to say my sympathies aren't with millionaire Neil Lennon or millionaire Peter Lawell. My sympathies are with the supporters, some of whom didn't claim refunds for the early finish last season and bought season books in record numbers knowing they most probably wouldn't get to see a game whilst losing their incomes throughout this pandemic. And then trying to vilify the hand that feeds you because some arse hole kicked a wee fence over after fans have endured all the above is quite frankly disgusting. Every word you utter in interview drains a little more respect I had for you to be honest. Its not self entitlement to expect a Celtic team and manager to at least put up a fight for the title and the only thing to come out of this debacle is the support have finally had their eyes opened to the mismanagement of OUR club from the boardroom down

[smallies]

The fans showing a lot more fight than the players/coaches
