The best move the owners have made was to get Neil in as manager. His experience and skill set have been invaluable.
It`s bloody tough being a legend

Couldn’t agree more Raymie. He’s a class act. Funny but his acknowledgement of McPake after the Hibs game was fantastic, really brought home the importance of a fully engaged management and ownership team.

I’m surprised Lennon hasn’t really been mentioned in conversations about bigger jobs, Aberdeen included. He clearly knows what he’s doing and, more importantly, he consistently gets a tune out of players who’ve been frozen out under previous regimes. Mehmet and Ngwenya are great examples of that. Lennon simplifies things and restores confidence, suddenly they look like proper assets again.
That ability alone should appeal to clubs operating with tighter budgets, because improving what you already have means less money spent on constantly rebuilding.
I’m actually glad he isn’t being linked elsewhere right now. He looks like someone who genuinely believes he’s building something here rather than just passing through. Maybe he’s happy where he is, and maybe it would take a truly massive offer to change his mind and I’m more than fine with that.

It would be interesting to look at the stats to highlight the "Lennon Effect."
We started the season reasonably well, but results took a downturn after Neil received a touchline ban, which includes the dressing room, I think? He was then on compassionate leave when he lost his father. Results and performances have been remarkable since he returned to the dugout.
Can anyone provide the numbers for these games? I can`t remember the dates he missed.
Not your average Sunday League player.

It was around the time of his dad`s passing and the QOTS away cup game.

I think he`d have to achieve something significant here before really being in the frame for other jobs - winning the league or maybe a good playoff run.
I asked chatgpt for examples of managers moving clubs fin Championship to Premiership and it could only come up with Derek McInnes and Jim McIntyre. McInnes moved after winning the Championship with Kilmarnock and McIntyre after taking QotS to the playoffs.
Derek McInnes → Heart of Midlothian — from Kilmarnock (Championship) to Hearts (Premiership) in May 2025.
Jim McIntyre → Ross County — from Queen of the South (Championship) to Ross County (Premiership) on 9 September 2014.

Neil Lennon could manage at any level and make a success of it. Maybe one day he will make a move to a bigger club but I get the impression he’s enjoying life at the Pars. Long may it continue………….
You’ve seen the Pars now please go home!

Superb strike from Robbie Fraser. we had better chances than that one but the goal was worthy of winning any game.
SJ move the ball about really well and we rode our luck a wee bit at the end but the team is displaying a steeliness now that wasn`t there earlier in the season. We`ve only conceded one goal in our last three (tough) games and that was a dodgy penalty.

I think NL said that the most important thing was trust with the owners. It sounds like he has had problems in the past. He coukd well have attracted interest from elsewhere but to me it looks like he is enjoying it at EEP. The grass is not necessarily greener on the other side. He enjoys working with young players and developing them. The evidence at EEP shows that. He may not get that luxury at bigger clubs. In his career he has nothing to prove to anyone. Its a different challenge at EEP and maybe the objective for him is maybe to prove to himself what he can achieve at a club like ours.

Listening to the St J manager, I got the feeling he wasnt happy with the sale of his striker. It does seem like a strange decision when you want to hang on to your best strikers when you are in the driving seat for autonatic promotion. It will be an interesting few months

Cracking goal. Great first half tackle in the box from Mullen, it`s a shame he`ll probably leave for free to a bigger club in the summer. If only the powers that be could convince him to sign on for 1 more year, then we could get a few bob for him in the summer if he wants to leave.

We can only hope he doesn’t sign a pre contract with another team by the end of this month.
That gives us time to negotiate.
Of course he may be waiting to see what league we’re playing in before deciding.

Whether people in Scottish football like it or not Lennon has done it all at the top of our game as a player and manager. Yes he had the best players around him etc but that takes a skill set on its own to get results. In his mind he won’t have anything to prove to anyone.
I think we provide a perfect opportunity for him to build a full club organically to a high performing environment which with the owners we have and potential of club etc. opportunities like this don’t come around too often. I’m not the slightest bit concerned Lennon would leave us any time soon, it would have to be a big job not a Killie or the like
