Lennon answers doom-mongers: What more can we do?
With a 19 point lead in the SPL alongside a fantastic run to the last 16 of the Champions League- beating Barcelona along the way- hoops fans have rarely had it so good.
Fraser Forster, Victor Wanyama and Gary Hooper are now known throughout the UK and beyond with no sign of the Armageddon forecast by SPL chief Neil Doncaster.
Celtic could clinch the SPL title next month with Lennon happy to answer head-on those that attempt to tarnish a championship winning season.
“We have proved all the doom-mongers wrong and there is a lot of negativity in this country, a lot of it, it is overwhelming sometimes,” the hoops boss stated. “Even when you are doing well….you are so far ahead and it is a one-horse race.
“I can’t do anything about it. The reality of my job is to win, develop the players, develop the team and keep it progressing.
“Why would it be a worry for me when we are 19 points clear? There is nothing I can do about that (fans stopping coming), do you want me to stop winning and let the gap close a little bit and make it more exciting?
“Bayern Munich are 15 points clear in their league, Man United are 12 points clear in their league so why is it just exclusive to us?”
Lennon added: “I don’t have a crystal ball and I don’t know what next season is going to bring so if crowds are down then we will do our best to bring them back.
“My motivation is to keep winning, keep improving the players and making the club better on and off the field.
“Although I don’t really have a lot to do with what goes on off the field, I can affect the squad, results, recruitment, development of players and that in itself is a huge challenge.
“I think we have come a long way since 2010 and I think that gets overlooked sometimes.
“We have huge assets at the club which we never had before, we are still in the last-16 of the Champions League and well clear in the league. so what more can we do?”
