If people don’t want Lennon cos he’s shit or bad at managing players then that’s fair dos.
If it has anything to do with sectarian nonsense then that’s just plain bollox.
For me it's absolutely the management.
His first four years at Celtic went quite well (with the caveat of having little competition for the last three of those four years). Then he was awful at Bolton, getting them relegated. Then he got suspended & agreed mutual termination with Hibs. Then in his second spell at Celtic, he had a good platform set by Rodgers and within two years he'd taken them backwards. You're now seeing what a decent manager like Postecoglou has done with the same club the year since he left. No idea what he's been like in Cyprus but finishing 7th with a team that won the league the season before is concerning.
Not sure either way really, I would question why he’s ended up in Cypriot football if he is still regarded as a good manager which makes it sound like I think Cypriot football is shit buy hey!😬🤣, I have no grounds for saying this, but he doesn’t feel like a good fit for Charlton, which ultimately could be a good thing as it may be what we need.I’m not overly excited by the prospect but if that’s what happens he starts with a clean slate. So basically I’ve got splinters in my arse over this one.🤣
Neil Lennon has been manager for 324 games in Scotland and England. His win rate has been 54%. His draw rate 19% His loss rate 27%. Are these the kind of numbers that make a manager atrocious? My maths is uncertain, but those numbers would give us around 91 points if replicated in a league one season. Is there evidence that Lennon’s mojo is shot?

I wonder what the typical Charlton fan win rate would be if they managed Celtic or Rangers? I should have thought those teams would win more than they lose without any manager.
I can hand on heart say that if Neil Lennon becomes Charlton manager, I will not attend a single match whist he's in charge
Even if he was successful ?
Yes 100%
Can I ask why?
Was a horrible little shit when he was a player
Talks shit about other teams all the time
Refused to come out for the 1 minute silence for the Ibrox disaster
Never stops moaning about his teams being picked on
Purposely winds up opposition fans when he should be keeping his mouth shut
He's a shit manager
He's ginger
Surely only the last of your points is relevant. And the other points show a bias that negates the relevant part. Having said that, my gut feeling is there are probably better options out there. I just wish we would stop farting around interviewing people and appoint somebody.

I wonder what the average American who knows 10 times more than the average sky sports subscriber and more about modern attacking football than those in English football would do?

His win rate at Celtic tops 70%. He had a good year or two with Hibs until that fell apart.
He’s one that would be either awful and sacked before Christmas, or does quite well but ends up leaving after 18 months due to a training ground bust up.
There's this mentality that annoys me in the pundits, players and coaches who have commented saying that when Jackson came in he was expected to be in a relegation fight. He wasn't. He certainly started off in one, and it's never easy to push out of that but this was a team that was expected to be pushing for promotion. Granted the recruitment wasn't good enough to be challenging right at the top, but are our players really that much worse than, say, Plymouth's? I don't think so. Jackson didn't come in to a relegation squad in the relegation places, he came in to find an ok squad playing much worse than it should have been, briefly had them performing well and then saw them return to being pretty rancid again. It's not like he turned a bunch of cheap no-hopers into a mid-table team and then got sacked harshly, he failed to get this team properly firing and then gave Sandgaard a decision to makeover whether he would back him heavily next season. You can have your own opinion on whether that should have happened, but I think it's a weirdly complacent attitude people like Curbs have praising Jackson for not getting relegated when that was so far below expectations.
I'm half Greek Cypriot and you can call Cypriot football frankly whatever you want
Lol, I didn’t mean it as bad as it may have sounded, I’ve got family moved over to Cyprus and seen some football whilst there, it’s not great, but a nice place to go manage if your career is more on the decline I’d suggest, which makes me wonder if the appetite for league one would be there.
Give that man a Knighthood...arise Sir Richard Cawley..now c'mon Rich, all this guff about "I don't know who is going to be manager" stuff...spill the beans mate...

Edit: having read the above posts on this I’d be very very surprised if he get the job.
His win rate has been 54%.
His draw rate 19%
His loss rate 27%.

Your right though it is very hard to judge
He’s like the ginger Bowyer…
Has Nixon confirmed the position on Lennon yet?
