No-nonsense Lennon’s definition of nonsense is surprisingly broad

Former Celtic manager Lennon outlawed mobile phones, bobble hats, passing backwards and all types of cheese but medium cheddar on his first day in charge. 

 

 

 

 

“Under D-Free, sorry, Dougie Freedman, we seemed to be able to do a lot more stuff, like chatting, or trying to find a through-ball, or blinking,” an unnamed Wanderer told FourFourTwo.

 

“Wait, did I use the past perfect there? No, but I did there. Didn’t I? That’ll be a fine.”

 

Much of Lennon’s career has been dedicated to combatting nonsense, a passion which made his departure from Scottish football inevitable.

 

 

“We can’t discuss relegation,” the player admitted. “Or promotion. Or staying in mid-table. Or Strictly Come Dancing.

 

“If this carries on, it will be difficult to talk at all... hang on, is that the future conditional?”
