Really had no time for him, but after hearing him during the World Cup and recently, he seems quite a switched-on guy. Problem is he'll cost, he'll want money for transfers and will want to bring in his own people.

Definitely. Seems a horrible nasty piece of work from the outside but would be 100% dedicated to the cause. Top level experience and would inspire the players.

If Neil Lennon even registered his interest it would be a huge compliment to our club. The guy has managed a massive football club in Celtic (and without relatively big financial backing) and overseen some fantastic victories. Surely, his wage demands would be beyond our means and with the exact same reasoning we'll probably go for a much cheaper option i.e. promote from within. As attractive as someone of Neil Lennon's calibre might seem.

He will have earned a lot at Celtic so could come here to be a stepping stone into premiership management ?

Its probably the kind of appointment we need to kick on, doubt that he would come due to lack of transfer funds for immediate success and our commitment (hopefully) to 352 throughout the club.
He would certainly earn his manager status if he could turn this around, Id liken him to Sean Dyche in what he could achieve for us and his previous success even though you could say that was an easy task at Celtic.
In answer, I dont particularly like him, he seems a nasty piece of work, but he is probably the kind of guy our squad needs, we have had enough matey matey managers, robins put his foot down and pressured out/lost the dressing room. I think there would be only one winner in Lennon and any of Pato, Clayton, Hammill, Ward, Gerrard and Ross Wilson and he would be ginger......

I don't think the position would interest him much. Chris Hughton is number one choice for me.

I'd rather go with warnock than him, but he has a point.

I'd rather go with warnock than him, but he has a point. I don't like either of them as people, but they would both be superb appointments for the predicament we find ourselves in. I'd choose Lennon of the two for a more long-term approach. Probably can't afford either, but if Deano wants to get his next appointment right then he's going to have to pay good money for it. So far the old adage 'you buy cheap, you buy twice' (thrice in our case) has come true.

If we as a club want to stand still then we might as well have just kept Robins, now we have a chance to make a statement of our intentions. We need a manager to shake the place up and get us back on track! Lennon has cut his teeth at Celtic and would certainly be able to do well in the championship in my opinion. If the club continue going down the route of Ross wilson's best pals joining the party then I can only see maintaining a seasonal struggle at best. we are now at a crossroads and have now got the opportunity to get some of the floating fans back on board, someone of Lennon's calibre would be a good start.

Slowly coming round to this idea, passion, fire and definatley knows how to pump up his players, I still can't believe Celtic beat Barcelona! Feel if he likes it here aswell and higher end Champ clubs come after him he will show a bit of loyalty to Deano.
Yep, I'd be happy with him.

Difficult to judge him as a manager.Winning a one horse race isn't hard. Did well tactically in the CL though against sides that should have pissed all over them. Comes over as a bit of a twat though. Maybe thats what we need?

If any one says they wouldn't want him here needs there head testing , but with us sticking to FFP and a limited budget i think that it may not be the right opportunity to manage in the championship.
So that takes us to the who is willing to work with what's already here , while also sticking to the FFP and a budget that is probably the smallest in the league , all the names that have been banded about so far like davis , lennon , etc i don't think we have a cat in hell's chance of attracting .
So that leads me to the question that i would love to put to Dean and the rest of the board , what are we trying to do as a club , is it just survival with minimum outlay and sticking to the FFP and not ever wanting to achieve anything more , if so i wish they would say this and at least then they cant moan about the crowds not being big enough to do anything else .
Out of all the clubs in the championship how many are risking it and spending money beyond FFP , it seems to me that the only way to survive is to break the rules like the majority are doing knowing full well that a fine comes know where near to what being relagated to league 1 would cost .
Has Dean had his fill of spending 4m plus of his own per season to bank roll the club then perhaps he should be looking at selling it , he will leave in place a fantastic training facility , shares back in the stadium and a progressive youth system that is one of the best outside the top flight .
It's stick or twist to me the championship , you either risk it to gain alot as in higher crowds with being nearer the top of the league which takes quality players which doesn't come cheap 10m plus easy per season or you struggle at the foot of the table spending the bare minimum and selling your better players for a profit that you bring through or develop .
To sum up it i think its time we fans knew what the real truth is regarding the whole situation as we look like a club self emploding from the inside at the minute , its the least they could do , just be honest and tell us if things are bad behind the scenes and if james vaughan is mental or has a career ending injury , the clayton situation is a farce , has he even been offered a contract to stay on better terms or does he want to leave , without the loyal fans the club is nothing so treat them with respect and honesty . UTT

I'd have him definitely, people say they don't like him why? Because he's driven? Because he wants to win? Because he doesn't take cr@p?
He is a manager with lots to prove, a manager who wants to be successful and I like the fact he's not Mr Billy Big Balls who is expecting a Premiership job and is prepared to prove himself in the Championship.
IF, and it's a big if, he thinks we fit his ambitions he could be the spark we need. He'd take control of 1st team affairs and wouldn't be dictated to in terms of selection and recruitment. As I said yesterday leave the football decisions to football people (but within our budget).
If he delivers who cares what people think?
But that all said I don't think we'll even look at him...sadly

Lennon wouldn't be my first choice, but he would probably be OK.
His connections into Scotland and Ireland could be handy for bringing the odd fenian in. Kieran O'Regan would no doubt approve.

I think he means vs other European teams, rather than other Scottish ones. So all in all quite irrelavant as the nearest he'll get to Europe here is Cardiff. It reminded me of this little viral image from his time at his previous club:
