    Rumour spreading about this after famous Celtic fan Greame Speirs tweet

    Didn't I predict this back in July?

    Can't see it myself, he may be a poor manager (that's still open to argument) but he's not had any real cash to spend on an aeging squad so I don't see why he should take the blame for being second in a 2 horse race.

    If he does go it will be because he walked of his own accord.

    Can't see McCoist walking away but could Whyte do the dirty on him?

    I doubt McCoist was his first choice as manager. He seemed to have got the job as he was seen by Smith as his natural successor. Whyte doesn't have any sentimental reasons for keeping him.

    Still think the story is bull though.

    That's the rumour

    Walking because the players have too much power

    Don't ask me to explain

    If Lennon in his first season can survive letter bombs , death threats ,attacked pitch side and the Scottish media having it in for him , surely super Ally can survive having a p&ss team

    I'm sure you predicted a lot of things back in July.
    Most Celtic fans on here were saying he would be away by Christmas. What was your prediction?

    <laugh>

    Nothing to do with him getting his tactics wrong and your team bottling it at ICT?

    Walter Smith: "I'd have walked away with it if it had been me" on the terror Lennon faced last season.

    Cue the normal responses of aye but...

    So the reason he lost the league was because of the threat he was put under?

    Do you think your job would suffer if you were sent bombs and you and your family had to be moved during the night due to threats? Or what about if someone ran in to your place of work and attacked you?

    I'm not saying it was right, it was scummy and shouldn't have happened and hopefully the scumbags involved will get what they deserve but do you honestly believe that was the reason why Celtic lost the league?

    Harry never said that did he?

    He spoke of Lennon "surviving" his first year of management, it was you who changed tack like a blind sailor.

    Well laddy Harry has said previously that is why Celtic did not win the league.

    My counter arguement and feel free to answer.

    Were Celtic sitting at the top before all that nonsense started?

    We will never know but it's funny it all started the minute we hit the front last season , good to see you guys behaving yourselves since we've gone 4 in front !! also good to see Hmrc getting a bit of practise in issuing Portsmouth a winding up petition for 1.6 million , chicken feed compared to what could be coming your way

    I don't see that on this thread?

    I thought we were talking about McCoist leaving and harry made a perfect reasonable point when he said that Lennon had far more of a reason to walk than McCoist does.
