What is there to gain from saying that?
So if he leaves they can say his heart wasn't in it any more and essentially shift the blame onto him?
I don’t think they need to. There will be a small minority of Celtic fans angry about it but most, certainly any I’ve spoken to, recognise it’s too big an opportunity for him and don’t begrudge him the move – especially with the money they will get for him.
I think Ricky is reading too much into Lennon’s words. It’s no secret Tierney has his price, nor that it is fairly well known. Celtic don’t need to sell him and would happily keep him. He wants to move for both developmental and financial reasons (Celtic also have a wage ceiling for academy players), but he’s also a die-hard fan and won’t rock the boat or force a move. I’m certain Lennon is just being very frank, he’s a fairly open speaker about matters such as this.
