“But, but, but” – Neil Lennon reveals priceless reaction of Celtic pundits after face to face confrontations
Neil Lennon’s interview really opened up a can of worms yesterday did it not?
As well as raking over old coals from his ill fated ten in a row season, the former Celtic gaffer revealed that he was ‘far from happy’ about comments made by former team mates of his towards the end of his tenure.
We all know who they are.
Chris Sutton and John Hartson were both close team mates with the Northern Irishman during his playing days but also harsh critics as Celtic stuttered and fell half way through the iconic season.
Peter Martin asked Lennon about it on the PLZ Soccer show and Lennon’s answers were telling:
Martin: “Have you have you had the chance to speak to them about it?”
Lennon: “I’m far from happy Pete. Yes.”
Martin: “What was the reaction?”
Lennon: “Ah but, but, but, but I didn’t mean it that way.”
Martin: “Is it one? Is it two? Can you tell me who they are? Or do we just have to draw our own conclusions?”
Lennon: “I think you can draw your own conclusions Peter. I mean, it’s not rocket science.”
What it would have been to be a fly on the wall in that conversation.
Let’s hope now Lennon has the closure he needs on this and both Celtic fans and the former manager can move on from the whole sorry episode.
