He knows what the 'point' is then. As you say, drop domestic points and he's gone. Even if they get a run together it will still be over his head, one more draw and boom he's gone.
 
Nothing to do backing Neil.

A 10m loss
No CL money
Crap in europa league
Costs a lot to sack a manager and coaching staff.
Costs even more to bring in another group of coaching staff.
And the 21 potential court cases coming up.
Tim’s asking fir refunds

All during a pandemic after spending 30m on duds
 
Reading that, it sounds like they are closer to extending his contract than they are to sacking him

Happy days indeed. :))

This is his death knell, he is just trolling them now and there will be further protests if he fucks up again, which is likely.
I hope he's sacked asap, he is a poison for the game up here and I want him gone.

Agreed. I dont understand clubs putting off the inevitable in these situations, it just means there will be one or 2 more bad results before the axe eventually falls, which is good for us.
 
He doesn't believe he is near being sacked? Really?

So, hypothetically speaking, if they were to lose at the weekend he wouldn't be sacked, given that you can't go from "not near the point" of being sacked to actually being sacked in the space of one match? (I'm not counting the Milan game because it goes without saying they're going to lose that one).

The man's lost it. An absolute clown.

Long may it continue.

I just think that he is a prick and I can't stand the lady's front bottom.

NEIL Lennon says the Celtic supporters who called for his sacking in chaotic scenes outside Parkhead on Sunday evening ultimately "served no purpose" - as he insisted the club's hierarchy are "not near the point" where they have a decision to make about his future.

The Northern Irishman typically tackled his issues head on as he addressed the media ahead of tomorrow night's Europa League meeting with AC Milan.

He insisted the club are "nowhere near the point" where chief executive Peter Lawwell and major shareholder Dermot Desmond have a decision to make about his future.

Indeed, he believes they are only a "flick of a switch" away from getting back on track.

It all begins as Celtic take on AC Milan in the daunting surroundings of the San Siro - a stadium in which they have NEVER won.

Lennon said: "On the scenes on Sunday, we were disappointed, hurt.

"I understand the frustrations of the supporters because ultimately we aren't on a great run at the moment.

"But it serves no purpose, particularly for the players.

"I am old enough and big enough to take criticism and abuse. Some of it is justified, some of it is over the top.

"That is the role of a manager. That is the responsibility you have to bear.

"We are all in agreement that we must do better. And we have to do that with results and performances.

"It only takes a flick of a switch

I think we are lacking a bit of confidence, a little bit of belief at the minute. But it can turn around very quickly, then it is baby steps after that, build, build, build build.

"But tomorrow we are looking for a performance and a result to start with.

"For 20 years from my own point of view i have done everything in my power to bring success to the club and the fans.

"That is not going to change just on the run of a bad month or people being upset about my style of management if I can say that. And they don't know what it is, they are just sort of voicing their opinions.

"I look to the players as well, they are working so hard to turn it around and they are feeling it a little bit so they need my support as well."

As for his relationship with Lawwell and Desmond, he insisted that the club remains "strong" and that durability is a key principle.

"We talk about the game, talk about the players, talk about the results.

"Obviously, we also talk about the values that we have, the durability that the club has.

"We are strong, we are not in great shape at the minute in terms of results and performances but I have a great relationship with them.

"It doesn't count for anything if results keep going the wrong way because then they have a decision to make but we are not near that point yet.

"They believe in me and I believe in what we are trying to do. I believe in my backroom staff as well.

"It sounds like I am repeating myself time and again but we do believe we will turn it around."

What has happened to the mad raving lunatic Lennon that we used to know?

He used to blame refs, other players, fans - everyone but himself, his face all distorted as he screamed and bawled at everyone and anyone like a spoiled wean, but these days he seems quite relaxed to the reality of the situation. You don't even see him shouting at his own players from the side lines.

Medicated Mick?
 
Doesn't sound very convincing at getting to grips with their form and turning it around. Their fans know it and it's killing them.

As shite as they are, I can’t see them dropping points to St Johnstone.

Hopefully I am wrong.

And hopefully they still keep him.
 
He said last week that the landscape would change very quickly for him if they didn't have an upturn in results. Now they are no where near sacking him?? He's talking in riddles. If they don't win either of their next 2 games (Milan & St Johnstone) then the axe will fall imo.....& I thought he was still relatively safe until they got beat on Sunday by County.
 
Neil "King Canute" Lennon.
You can't stop the tide anymore than old Canute could.
He'll be sacked well before Jan 2.
