Lennon has exposed the Brown situation & we don't need the player's attitude!

After 4 months of negotiation with Scott Brown’s contract, Neil Lennon has sounds somewhat frustrated being diplomatic when stating. “Until they (Scott & his agent) adapt a different approach it’s stalemate.” Are we missing something here? Because being made clear that Celtic are expected to pick up the agents fee? So Scott doesn’t pay his agent for getting him a new deal? But Celtic have to sign another cheque, and until we do then he isn’t for signing the new deal! Are we some kind of soft touch here? It’s ludicrous to say the least. Neil added... “I haven’t had the chance to speak to Scott because he’s been in London”. Okay, I suppose when you’re being paid £21,000 per week (over 5 years works out at £5.040m, with transfer fee at £4.25m = Celtic outlay now £9.29m)  but are out injured then your Club Captain can go to London for whatever, pick up your wages while the fight goes on up here to claw back League points, and dictate to Celtic that before you will sign a new contract, then you’ll need to square up my agent first! Really? What part of get-a-life does Scott and his agent not understand? Celtic are sounding more like a charity organisation by the day instead of demanding & expecting more commitment & desire from their player & captain. What an example! What is going on in that building? Move on Celtic, this affair is leaving a very bad taste in many supporters’ mouths with regards to a Captain who hasn’t convinced a great deal over 4 years,  who bought some time & favour with his gesture to Diouf last year. Celtic first at all times. Selfish demands from non-convincing invalids are not on!

  1. Matt,

    Fair point re: judging a player's performance over the term of his contract. Celtic have financed SB's development in the sense the cost was greater than the return for a number of years. At this point, commitment and desire are indeed at a premium and if SB has those great. If not, agreed, it is best for all concerned to turn the page.
