It’d be interesting on a straw poll if people wanted a return it seems quite divisive.

Lennon contributed very little last time round.To be even considering spending scarce resources on him now is just absurd.Is there not one , young , hungry wide player anywhere that we can recruit ?? The idea that we have a recruitment department and they would come up with Lennon is risible.

If its Lennon or nobody then with our lack of wingers the best of those two options is obviously Lennon. If he does sign and no other winger is signed then the criticism is the fact we have managed to end up with the choice between Lennon or nothing and that could only be assessed as a poor showing in the transfer window

If we give Lennon a contract and get another winger seen as a potential starter then that for me is acceptable

We could sign Ryan Christie for less of a wage than Lennon. Christie would significantly improve us
Ryan Christie has 3 assists for Celtic, so far today.
Joe Hart not much to do. Leggin's picking them out of his net.

Ryan Christie should be right up our street. He’s a hard working never stops running type of player. A better version of Arfield

I don’t think Lennon was allowed to contribute much tbh . He was rarely played wide ,always inside and often just had tracking job and using his pace ( which he still has ) Was often switched as well . He’s an out n out winger who might just be able to share a season with the slower and fading JBG

Lennon is a no brainer. He will be on a free, knows the manager the lads and our style of play, he also has bags of premier league experience

Far more sensible than putting your lot behind an unknown Brazilian

It's tough for wingers playing in our setup, will all the defensive work they're expected to do. A lot of the time watching Lennon I felt our system was restricting him.

So does Steve Stone, who is also no longer good enough for the PL. let’s register him too.

If there are other managers out there that are performing miracles on a shoe string where are they?

How come every one who writes about the job SD is doing for the national media continues to say he's doing a brilliant job?

Name one, just one manager who is as regarded as highly as SD by anyone not connected to BFC who works on a small budget.

Btw, I'll just add that you and a few other posters have NEVER had anything to say about SD, so it's no surprise about your comments.
TBH, that is emotional claptrap.
I have praised the efforts of SD and his staff when deserved.
I accept that I lost respect for him when he showed what I considered to be disrespect towards BFC.
As for managers capable of working on a small budget: plenty of really good managers don't have to prove they can do this. Doesn't mean they couldn't.
