Brian Lennox is a very astute businessmen and in no doubt is very realistic as to what City can achieve in the short term. The main thing now for all City fans is to remain patient and success will come. Be mindful of what Fat did to St Pats as I'm sure Mr Lennox is.

Corner can you tell me, how is Mr Lennox not showing any ambition for ****. If anything he saved your club and you showed be thankful for his intervention and shrewd acumen to date. I do believe that CCFC deserve a better man at the helm than Dolan.

Fat's antics are well noted.

Partizan, your comments would have been alot more respected and had more credence had you left the fat/**** nonsense behind you.

Some fans have a very short memory.
Anyone remember why the club nearly went wallop a few years back?
It took on more financial burden that it could cope with.
And I for one would rather have a football club to support rather than a league title and memories of a club that no longer exists.
Do I lack ambition?
There's is no point putting your long-term future at risk for short-term gain. Look at Leeds - the heart and soul of that club is destroyed.

read my comments above. i am very thankful for what he did.

and i also stated there is no place for sentiment in football. he cannot bring the club further. he already stated he will have to step down in the next 3 years for somebody to bring it to the next level.


it seems a lot here have been going on about the way he saved our club and yes we are all grateful but i ask u this

are you happy for our club just to exist?

most of the people that have been joining this topic are members i have respect for as they contribute a lot but would yopu be happy with just a cup run next season with no silverware to show again except for the munster sh1tty cup

No. And would you like to tell me WHERE or WHEN Brian Lennox has ever said that? Or anything like it?

I agree, there's no room for sentiment in football, but there's no room for people to be unfairly attacked for saying or doing things that they haven't said or done either.

This is just the el silly season. No matches to talk about so stuff like this gets more attention than normal.

Club does seem to have levelled off in progressing professionally but we probably don't know all thats happeneing behind the scenes.

What si the alternative anyway? Do we expect Lennox to pump his own cash into the club? Would a supporters Co-op be better?

Like a supporters trust? Cant see it happening, and these things, while beneficial in the short term end up seriously messy, like what happened at Bournmouth (I think), where the fans bailed them out, elected a chairperson who got too big for his boots, and the whole things fell to pieces.

I could just imagine some jumped up nobody trying to do this at City.

Anyway, the point is moot. We wont find better than what we have even if we tried. Citys short term future, IMO, is in capable hands with Brian Lennox.

i think you know eanna that i am not uinfairly attacking, just looking at this side of it

didnt he state in his interview that an improvement on last year would be a cup run

it certainly is an improvment on the cup side but i think we deserve more this season than just a cup run

great idea would be what bohs did. anybody remember their jersey where fans paid x amount and had their names on the jerseys a la the old man utd jersey with ex players names.

The one thing in Lennoxs favour i will mention is he said last season goal was 1/4 final of Inter Toto Cup & if we truelly honest i'd say few of us expected to get past Malmo.

Baring this in mind i'd be interested in his expectations/predictions for the UEFA Cup.

I know you're not having a go at him thecorner, but I was just making the point that IMO he's never shown a lack of ambition, he's just being realistic.

How can our club be just existing? We were runners up in the league, did well in the Inter-Toto and claimed a UEFA Cup place.

This season we have a very good chance of winning the Setanta Cup( the winner will, I think, come from our group), a good chance of winning the league itself, we have to push hard but we are capable of doing that, Munster Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup, granted we wont win the UEFA but hey-you have to be in it to win it :D.

Perhaps try to SUPPORT the club rather than criticise it......?!

I may be talking cr*p but that's the way I see it. :)
