Hearts in the cup and Hamilton at home were fucking dreadful, he looked lost and didn't know what to do. The majority of this forum wanted him out and I don't blame them. The slide we were on was disastrous. Atmosphere had went poisonous, he was never lasting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s their job, they did it well On our form it wouldn’t matter a fuck what the tims did this season our form would still see us win the league. Thems the facts, all about us and fuck all about them My point is that we collapsed two years in a row when under pressure, we didnt face that pressure this season, would we have coped, who knows, who gives a fuck now anyway as the leagues done thankfully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season continued and he lost the league fairly and by a big gap then he would've been gone. Are you saying this as someone ITK or guesswork?

We've been fucking incredible this season. They've not fucked it, they just couldn't live with us That's the point I was going to make. Until the result on Sunday they could still have got to a points level which would have won them each or their last 9 titles. Their fans have totally over reacted, I think their performances in Europe was a big part of it. The media has contributed to it as well and it detracts from how consistent we have been. I think the celtic board would like to still back Lennon but if they see a big drop in ST sales he will go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,723 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I bumped my gums about it being about the rate of progress. A right few disagreements were had on here. Some for me were impatient as silverware hadn't been won, but I could see we were still progressing well enough imo. Our defensive record on the whole improved, we did well in Europe, we were developing well as a squad. Gerrard had 3 seasons to win the league, cups were never crucial, and I'm delighted he's not only closed the gap but overtaken them. Huge credit. That in turn leads to questions on what's acceptable going forward. If I see us still progress and grow as a squad and club ie in the CL, then that would mitigate domestic cup losses. If we didn't win the league next season thats a failure and obvious decline. That'd be failure and whether he'd survive it would depend on how we'd progressed or not in other areas.

He was on his way out Not sure about that and it would have been the wrong decision. Not just because of this seasons results but because teams that swap and change their managers every 2 seasons never make any progress. It needed to be a minimum 3 year project.

If the feeling was that strong against Gerrard it was clear a time as any from fans to show no confidence in him... the club was deperate for cash fans could have easily had him sacked by holding of on buying tickets, they didn't. Again, he wouldn't have been in a rush to walk, there is a pretty decent body of evidence in his career to show he isn't a pussy and backs himself.

We weren’t turning that league round and it’s ridiculous to suggest otherwise He was on a 4 year contract, then extended. King talked about the bumps in the road and standing by him. Only Gerrard will know if he'd have walked, but I doubt he'd have been pushed. He was right to stay, and right to be given the opportunity he was offered when signing his contracts. What would have been ludicrous would have been expecting a manager to come in and stop their 10iar in one season after another season of failure.
