I thought about the decline of some of our players last night under lennons strict methods of no tactics, and diet of chips and pints and nobody has suffered more than brown imo.
with him growing older each year this was always inevitable but the rate at which he has declined this season is really something. Rodgers had him in peak condition and it showed.
not everyones cup of tea and i get that, a cm that lacked vision, and a passing range that was limited at best, but i don't think anyone can deny he offered us something by covering the full backs, his defensive work, and his influence on the park.
if anyone thinks turnbull, mcgregor, or christie are going to take over from him then they are sadly mistaken. Turnbulls defensive work rate is non existent and christie and mcgregor have been shown as defensive calamities this season, that said i put that down to Lennon, particularly with mcgregor as he was never this bad under Rodgers or Deila.
in short, can lennon just gtf please?

I honestly can't believe he's still in the job.
I think he'll be here next season, rumours are that hammonds getting binned so thats the recruitment, the pandemic and the players mentality all blamed before the manager.

Luck as well.
There has been a fair bit of chat that Celtic have been 'unlucky' this season.
I like that.

Celtic won the title for years because they were better
We are winning this year cos we are better
Many reasons why, players, managers, coaching etc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed.
Like Celtic I think Rangers came into this season under tremendous pressure.
We have just handled it better.
There has been a marked change in how we manage games. In all the games we have been a goal up - Hibs, Pittodrie twice, Caltic, Killie etc I have not really felt overly concerned that we were going to drop points.
That has been down to a mentality shift and better organisation and coaching.
We seem to have the attitude that 3 points is all that matters and the absolute belief in every game that we can win them.

I'm not a fan of his but that's a bit unfair. He's maybe unfairly elevated due to the sheer amount of medals though. From just a personal view, I don't think celtic under Rodgers would have brought the hammer down on rangers quite as well without him. He set the tone on treat us like we were a diddy team to the rest.

i do think rangers have been very good this season zach but i also think the pressure they previously cracked under is no longer there to trouble them
thats not their problem though

He will see out his career at the club he loves.
Hibs.

Brown has decisions to make and hopefully he consults far and wide. He's done his badges. If he harbours ambition to manage the club he should go away, learn the trade, see if it is for him and still have the fall back of a guaranteed job coaching at Lennoxtown if he fails.
He is such a big personality I think he could be a distraction to any new manager and the squad who presumably will still respect him as Mr Celtic, captain etc.
I'd understand why the board would still want him around as they will view his loyalty as an excuse to pay him less than the going rate plus a potential mole as to what is really going on up there.
Go away, come back on your own terms.
