Neil Lennon's Celtic 'mitigating circumstances' claim draws defence as boss told he must protect himself

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Lennon was referring to and former Celtic boss Barnes insists that's the way it must remain.He believes to go public with any behind the scenes issues would be counterproductive, despite fans being desperate for answers as to what has gone wrong.Barnes said: “At a club, if there is any unrest or upheaval as we’ve seen at Celtic this season, as a manager you do not want it to get out, as it can cause even more problems.

If you look at social media and the reactionary world we are in, everybody is so involved with everything."You don’t want to have messages out there that players are unhappy, and people fighting in training, standoffs with the board etc, it’s not good to bring all this to the surface.
