ian1964 10,411 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Danny Lennon: St Mirren decide not to offer manager new contract Manager Danny Lennon has left St Mirren after the club decided not to offer him a new contract. The Paisley outfit's board met on Monday to discuss the future of Lennon, whose contract expires this summer. And they have confirmed Lennon has not been offered a new deal. "Decisions like this are never easy, however we would commend Danny for his professionalism and the dignified way he carried out his duties during a very challenging season," the club said. Lennon was named manager of the Buddies in June 2010, following a two-year spell in charge of Cowdenbeath. The 45-year-old led the Paisley side to League Cup final success last season with a 3-2 win over Hearts at Hampden. St Mirren struggled for spells of this term but Lennon defended his record at the club after securing Premiership safety. A club statement read: "The board of directors have today decided not to offer Danny Lennon an extension to his contract that expires in June 2014. "Danny and his players gave our club one of its finest days on 17th March 2013 and they will always be remembered by the club for that wonderful day. "The board would like to thank Danny for his service to the club over the last four years and wish him every success in the future." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27371495 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I was always extremely surprised that two brothers managing teams in the same league was even allowed in the first place. It just doesn't sit right at all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I was always extremely surprised that two brothers managing teams in the same league was even allowed in the first place. It just doesn't sit right at all. There is a saying about waiting for a bus, then two come along at the sametime. Here's hoping but I have my doubts anyone will want tuther one despite the efforts to drum up a suitor. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
