True. You think hed have the sense to know how the game works these days by now. The way hes fighting MONs corner you just wonder whether he does see himself as his no2 for the forseeable. |

You think Hibs should have appointed Mowbray over Lennon?

I think Lennon taking the Hibs job is a very strange move ..... hiding to nothing and if he flops he is utterly unemployable Is a second tier club in Scotland really his level.....and if it is, how did he ever get our gig ?? Or is he taking it in the basis he will not be managing against us and hopes its only for a year and he has an escape route down south I wish him well

He clearly doesn't want to uproot his family again. Hibs is one of the bigger jobs in Scotland with bags of potential. Good ground, good training facilities, decent squad. Yes, anything other than the league and he's toast, but he's used to that. I think it's a good fit for them both just now. |

At this point, he hasn't many options open. Celtic have overlooked him despite lobbying for the job; another Championship gig in England could be Bolton Mk. II. Taking a chance on Hibs is as good as it gets for him right now. Their resources should be enough to get them promoted and that would be the first substantial achievement he's had since leaving Celtic. |

Best of luck to him. The cup final and subsequent celebrations the following days showed what a sizeable Hibs support there potentially is should the club get the proverbial finger out. |

The problem with the John McGinn comparison is I can't see the media overrating and slobbering over Lenny like that... Championship player of the year? No harm to him but that's absolute baws. |

It's undeniably a huge step down from where we/Lennon thought he'd end up but assuming the current 3 English Championship clubs with managerial vacancies (N.Forrest, Reading & Barnsley) haven't made an offer for him, then this is pretty much as good as he'll get and as others have said at least location wise is perfect. He's not exactly doing adverts like McCoist ffs

I actually think it's a shrewd move as, by taking over the club with the strongest squad in their league, his chances of success are much higher than if he'd walked into a mid-table job in the top flight or English lower leagues. Hibs should be the Celtic of the Championship next season - better players and greater resources than all their rivals. No Sevco or Hearts in their way this time around. If he takes them up, it puts him in a decent position. If he fails to take them up, he's got a huge problem. But that was always going to be the case anyway after what happened at Bolton. He needs his next job to be a success - and at Hibs he has the tools to make that happen. The trick is ensuring he moves on at the right time and doesn't end up as a Mark McGhee-type mid-table SPFL manager. |

My take, when Lenny got the Celtic job i was raging Cheap option, no experience WTF However, he did a great job for us. Last 16 in CL, a shocking performance at Inverness aside and we'd have won the league in his 1st season. Some very poor cup results granted, but all in all he was a more than competent manager. He deserved a bigger gig than Bolton, but he did as well there as could be expected. He's better than Stubbs, by a country mile!! See you next season

Probably a good move for him. Fresh start, club still on a high following the cup win, and if they get promoted he's in a strong position again. Good luck! |

I actually think it's quite an intelligent move, one that demonstrates that he's motivated by more than his salary. I'm quite sure he's aware of the risks if he fails, but any manager is arguably walking that tightrope regardless of what job they're in. Also, if we're ever looking for a replacement for Lawwell in the foreseeable future, we could do worse than sound out Leanne Dempster. Edited by modest mouse, 8 Jun 2016, 10:48 PM.

Very risky move in my opinion. He's went from seemingly being in the running for every EPL gig going to having to settle for a second tier club in a country where he won the league only a few seasons before. Could see this being the death knell of his managerial career if it goes wrong, with a move to be someones number 2 later. |

Very ambitious move indeed from Hibs. Hope it works out for both parties. |

Wasn't Parker first team coach at Celtic as opposed to assistant manager? |
