lennoxs lack of ambition

[thecorner]

disgusted reading yesterdays echo and the interview with lennox.. shows real lack of ambition and seems happy just to exist

could be time for him to step down if this is gonna be his attitude

[patsh]

I can't for the life of me see how the man is showing any lack of ambition.
What do you expect him to say That he intends to win the Champions League?
He gave an honest and realistic view of how he sees things, and as he has often asked before, he needs more people with money to come on board to take City to the next level.
I know eberybody has a right to their opinion, butI just do not understand all this anti-Lennox stuff at the moment.
For a while it was anti-Dolan, now Lennox, MUST City fans always have an agenda against somebody....

[thecorner]

he seems happy for the club just to exist
he reckons improving on last season is a decent cup run

I,for one am sick sh!t of winning just the munster senior cup.

[thecorner]

i thought he came across very good. he is realistic bout whats happening at the club on the field and off regarding money.

yeah sure lets be happy just to exist and win the munster senior cup every year.

time for wallace to come in

lennox has shown his lack of ambition, time to bring it to next level.

in dolan we have a manager that wants success

is obvious now we wont achieve this with lennox at the helm

[joe]

Read to me like he was a man who knew the restrictions and constraints that an eL club must work under to survive, which imho is the first step to improving, ie you must first have your house in order before you consider reaching for the sky, ie walk before you run.

Who out there is going to just magically appear and take over the club if Lennox does call it a day?

[thecorner]

ie walk before you run.

so are we getting gerard houlliers magic 3 year plan or is it a real 3 year plan

[thecorner]

now la manga.

which has also turned out to be a bullsh!t story

[joe]

so are we getting gerard houlliers magic 3 year plan or is it a real 3 year plan

Never mentioned anything about a three year plan. A ball hasn't even been kicked in anger in 2005 and people are already writing off our chances of success, why?

[A face]

time for wallace to come in

This was always just a rumour though .... nothing solid ever came of it. We have not seen anything concrete to indicate that Wallace would even be interested.

Maybe it is not Lennox with a lack of ambition, but more of a City fans wanting to punch above their weight.

While the club is making progress, that must be a good thing.

And Wallace has plenty of concrete... he is a builder after all

I havent seen the article but imo both Lennox and Dolan are doing an excellent job.

Exactly. We must be realistic and realise we are playing in the League of Ireland. WE have made more progress in the last 3 years under Lennox than in the previous 18 under other boards. Small steps is a good way to go about things. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.

exactly. He's done a lot of work in the last few years, and has been happy to let Dolan take an enormous amount of (deserved) credit for what he has done on the pitch, while Lennox etc work away in the background. I think people who are criticising Brian have very short memories and are showing a staggering level of ingratitude to a man who has basically saved this club from going out of business and turned it around into a position to compete for top honours.

Spot on, Eanna.

[razor]

Very impressed by the article, came across as a guy with his feet firmly planted on the ground.
It needs to be run sensibly and I think Brian is doing this.
The man has ambition for the club but he isn't losing the run of himself.
Keep up the good work.

Agree that he comes across as very honest and realistic - but as an outsider looking in - I find it very strange in this wide ranging interview, that he makes absolutely no reference to your manager Pat Dolan?

He makes no reference to anyone on the playing side, except for Shane Long. The interview consists of his thoughts on his role in the club, his general overall views on the strength of the current squad, and some of the difficulties he has found in being a chairman. He wasn't asked for an evaluation on how the manager and players are performing, so why is it surprising that Dolan wasn't mentioned?

[Ronnie]

I didn't see the article and I'm not a city fan, but the potential at City outstrips every other club in the country. However, for it to be a successful club you need to be their or thereabouts every year, no good doing it once every 5 or 6 years. If building slowly and correctly to eventually achieve this objective is the aim I wouldn't criticise the man.

[Buile Shuibhne]

Is it not the manager's job to decide if, and in what positions, new signing's are required - subject of course to finances being made available by the chairman / board?.

I read also on your official site that technical director Liam Murphy has agreed the terms of a new contract with Billy Woods - again normally the team manager does this?

[niamh]

I can't believe some of what I have just read.
Unreal. I was shocked when I read the story this morning. IMO Lennox is one of the best things that has ever happened to the club and the fact that he is realistic and down to earth makes me thing he is very much the man for the job.
BUT it can't be easy and is very much a drain on his time and financial resources. Maybe it is time for the fans of CCFC to show him how much we appreciate everything he has done??

Spot on. I was very impressed with what he said, it sounds ambitious yet extremely realistic and bodes well for the future of the club imo.

Corner, where are you seeing the lack of ambition? I can't see it at all to be honest. Quite the opposite if anything.
