He’s under contract and likely we’d get compensation from morcombe Was scratching my head there. Was sure he had 2 stints at Bradford with Morcambe in between. Seems his contract is up in 8 months so compo would be fairly minimal I would imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 20 minutes ago, David said: I think so as well. It was always a dodgy situation allowing the manager to surround himself entirely with his own backroom team. While it may seem like a good thing at the time to back the manager, it also means if and when he goes they all follow. I'd like whoever comes in to have Hammell installed as the assistant, with Kerr moved up to take on the job Hammell had with the youths. Hoooo get your own suggestions!! That's what I said!!

Needs a sponsor (the club if he gets the job) we'd then apply for a certificate of sponsorship, he'd then apply for the Tier 2 sportsperson visa once that has been issued. Whole process usually takes about 3-4 weeks but they can be fast-tracked in two days. I've heard managers moaning about it being really difficult getting players from the EU in which is a load of shite and just an excuse for them and/or to fill up their interviews. Clubs and the player or his agent just need to do some bog standard paperwork. Gets more complicated the lower the level the player/coach is coming from but unless we're signing some teenager from the Latvian 6th tier it's a piece of piss.

Why does the old 'managerial merry go round' love to tout people who have managed bigger clubs and failed ? What, anywhere, in Lennons CV would suggest that he can create a team that can punch above it's weight ? His last managerial job didn't exactly end well. And ignoring his managerial achievments for a second, the guy is a cunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘baggage’ that comes with him though just wouldn’t be worth it. As well as being an abrasive, shit stirring individual, he is also the poster boy for people with a very sinister agenda, in football, the media and politics in this country. It just wouldn’t be worth the gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Bit weird of Craggs to speculate . He did a very good job for Hibs would be hard to like him - I remember having a similar view of Micky Weir and then we signed him back in the day never felt right cheering him on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Not Lennon for me , too much baggage involved there and would bring unwanted publicity to the club Nothing to do with the Celtic connection either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I don't hate him as much as others do, but there is a lot of baggage that comes with him, which isn't all on him.

Attitudes like this are part of the reason it would never work. We’d have a few bad results, some criticism would come from the stands (as would be the case with any manager) and you’d get nonsense like this before you can say “candlelit vigil”.

twistandshout1983 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I definitely don’t hate the guy , I just wouldn’t want the baggage, but at the same time I could say the same about the likes of Barry Ferguson The guy has a lot of people in this country who don’t like him for purely bigoted reasons that I never agree with , do remember Craig Brown saying he is a likeable guy and I know he has suffered from a lot of mental health issues in the past Being honest now if he got us a half decent team to watch maybe all the past is forgotten, and if he beats Rangers a few times so much the better , I don’t believe he is even interested in the job though and it is simply Craggs putting his name forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
