TALKSPORT host and Celtic fan Alan Brazil has told his listeners what he has been ‘told’ about the current state of play regarding the full time Celtic manager position.

The football pundit was discussing Neil Lennon’s chances of getting the job after his stint as interim manager and Brazil is a big advocate of this.

Speaking about the Irishman on his Morning TalkSport show he revealed he’s heard the board are keen to appoint Lennon.

“I’m told the hierarchy want him but that a lot of the fans don’t. And I can’t understand that, he’s got a great record. It’s a puzzle to me.” Brazil admitted on Monday morning.

Celtic fans have been split over a potential full time Lennon return. Many fans want to see the club try to be as ambitious as possible with their appointment after having Brendan Rodgers for two and a half years. There’s a sentimentality to wanting Neil to get the job on a permanent basis but this must be taken out of the equation when the decision is being made.

There is one more game to go then we are likely to find out within the next week or two who the board have chosen.

  1. Most times its not always what you want. Is what you get. But I guess if Neil Lennon wants his old job back (And he does). He doesn’t have to walk that far. But the suit’s now have to justify all the players he wants from the start of his contract.
    And thats almost eight. So Eight times approximately Eight Million = Not going to happen. The big bad biscuit tin strikes Neil again in the head.

  2. Neil will be the cheap option, Lawwel will be in control. As little as possible will be spent, Peters bonus will be huge!

  3. Neil will make a fine manager if he is appointed. Very few of you out there will have run a football club, never mind one like Celtic. Get off everyone’s back and let them do their job.
    It might be nice to get someone like Martinez or Villas Boas, but these are the only two I would ever consider in competition with Neil for now.

  4. The Celtic support ,will not put up with a murty type of management as they know, he then turns into a dog with no teeth and will not demand a war chest ,but will get used as the guy to get rid of players but not replacing as he will run out of time he has been here a few months yet there are no sign of him knowing his best team. and with European football around the corner the board ain’t to bothered, they prefer to help themselves with club profits, building hotels with the teams earned money for there bigger share in dividends

  5. If we give neil lennon this job,it will be a complete downer! And we cant have that ! Rodgers raised the bar Neil Lennon is what he is and that way way below where we are now!! yes he has many ex player friends in the media backing him and this has become what i always knew it would and thats a sideshow!! When if we had put in Kennedy or another knowing full well a new REAL MANAGER WAS COMING!This would been avoided sadly i think he is right they do want to give him it and are hoping a win what we all want! Will allow them to announce this on Saturday or Sunday but if that is and i fear it is the strategy then it a DISGRACE!! AND MANY MANY THOUSANDS OF FANS BE WELL PISSED OF AND THAT WILL CARRY THROUGH TO NEXT SEASON UNLESS WE HAS A RODGERSESQUE 1ST SEASON BUT LENNON AINT GOT THAT IN HIS LOCKER! GET THIS SORTED PETER LAWELL AND GET US A REAL MANAGER OF AURA LIKE THE LAST!REGARDLESS HOW IT ENDED WE NEED AN APPOINTMENT OF THIS LEVEL A TOTAL WINNER ! AND CALMING INFLUENCE THAT BRINGS ON PLAYERS LIKE RODGERS DID WE NEED AND DESERVE THAT! NOT GOING BACK TO A MANAGER THAT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING OF NOTE SINCE LEAVING AS HE WAS “BORED” AS WERE WE NEIL BELIEVE ME!1 NOT A CHANCE SHOULD HE GET THIS JOB NO NO NO!

  6. This kid from w b a up at PARADISE ON SUNDAY I FEAR IS A BAD SIGN AS WHO IS SIGNING HIM BIG PETE?!! I HOPE SO! WE NEED A REAL MANAGER LIKE THE LAST! SORT IT! DERMOT!! AS IT CANT BE LENNON NO WAY

  7. Celtic signing players before a new manager is in place only means one thing Neil lennon has got the job if I’m right hope the season tickets go to rock bottom want the treble treble but not at the expense of lennon getting the job Li well only looking after his bonus total Fraud just like Rodgers
