Guest Wieghortsnut Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 9 hours ago, Ludo*1 said: Interesting idea. Here's my list of managers since I started watching Dundee. Note: Barry Smith would instantly go to the top of my list for that single season, but I'll treat it over the spell. And John McCormack was just appointed manager when I started going to Dens, but remember very little. 1. Jocky Scott. 2. Paul Hartley 3. Barry Smith 4. Jocky Scott II 5. Jim Duffy 6. Alex Rae 7. Ivano Bonetti (Love him enough to be in my top 3, but let's be real. He's lucky to get this high!) 8. John Brown 9. Neil McCann 10. Gordon Chisholm 11. James McPake 12. Alan Kernaghan 13. Jim McIntyre Absolute madness. Only Jocky, Hartley & Smith can be deemed as successful over their whole stints IMO and I'm sure that not everyone would be unanimous on Duffy Jocky Hartley The rest can suck my white ass 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be as bad as appointing fucking Bomber. Lennon with big Rab as his assistant wouldn’t float your boat then Imo he done well at Hibs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Lennon had Hibs playing exciting football, got them back into the top flight and back into Europe. He's just a c**t of a human being. Pros and cons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very 'Celtic' minded but you would expect that, came across as a very arrogant Celtic manager but that's just something that comes with the roll. A c**t of a human being seems a tad harsh. I would be happy if he came here, not that he is though. Edited February 24, 2021 by johnnydun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Didn't he fall out with the players and leave under a massive cloud? In any case, by the time Nelms empties McPake, Lennon will probably be about 70 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Can't see Adam taking instruction from Lennon very well either, nothing to do with previous clubs, just think they would clash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Bliss Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yeah he fell out with the players. Was it not something along the lines of he wanted to wipe out Kamberi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Did he not allegedly fire a host of inappropriate insults as Dempster as well? It was all very hush, hush at the time and I don't think many know the full story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 We badly need a nasty streak in our side. Mr Lennon would provide this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did after all welcome and employ Govan season ticket holders in Neil McCann and John Brown. East coast regards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the existing under-soil heating system could be utilised to counter balance the excessive residual ground moisture content and thereby assist with the natural drainage. Lesser clubs get by using simple pitch coverage assisted by gas/electric hot air blowers. I've certainly seen over the years far harder winters locally than this one. One thing is for sure, the groundsman does not become poor at his job overnight, hence I would have to assume there are conflicting internal issues we are not aware of.

Derry Alli Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Lennon - the guy who doesn't take training because he's still steaming from the night previous? TDB throws up some amount of shite but this takes the tattie biscuit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, if it's true what he's alleged to have said, and I accept it's a very big 'if', then I'm astonished that Celtic felt it was appropriate to re-hire him at all. I certainly wouldn't want him anywhere near Dens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should have been the end of his football career if it was true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
