Neil Lennon has rejected tonight on the Go Radio Football Show that he has a burner social networks account on Twitter. The account in concern has actually been long believed to be Lennon or a minimum of somebody acting upon his behalf as it constantly safeguards his Celtic record versus those who decry his design of management and football.
Lennon certainly attained some fantastic tasks as Celtic employer in the Parkhead hot-seat, particularly winning in European competitors versus some excellent sides. One night in specific versus FC Barcelona will live long in the memory as it was our 125th Anniversary and we emerged triumphant 2-1 versus perhaps the best club side of perpetuity.
However, sometimes Lennon’s football might be irregular and stagnant and his explosive nature might develop issues. During the run towards Ten-in-a-row he actioned in very well to get us over the line when newly designated supervisor Brendan Rodgers left mid-way through the campaign.
Despite this however, Lennon was provided the job full-time in the most less than professional of scenarios after we beat Hearts to win the 2019 Scottish Cup Final. In what appeared an act of nepotism and cronyism from Peter Lawwell and Co., the Hoops advocates were totally underwhelmed by the appointment and had bookings after his acrimonious departure from Easter Road right before he got to Celtic Park once again.
This ended up being real and it’s what in part resulted in us losing the Scottish Premiership throughout the 2020/21 season. His absence of self-awareness and failure to confess when he had actually lost the dressing room still leaves an acrid taste in the mouth of numerous Celtic advocates. Only time will recover this however an acknowledgment of his own part in the failure would go a substantial method building bridges once again.
Listen to Neil Lennon reject he’s on any social networks…
