Neil Lennon Stays.

Neil Lennon has today dashed the hopes of his old boss Martin O'Neill who had hoped to lure the midfielder to Celtic. Under his new terms with Leicester City, it is reported that Lennon's weekly pay has been uplifted by new boss Peter Taylor to £30,000. The Irish International has recently been sorely tempted to join Celtic, his boyhood heroes, but their overtures came to nought when they failed to meet the asking price of £8 million. Lennon is reported as saying that after giving the matter much thought, he has decided that he will be quite happy to continue with City under Peter Taylor for whom he already has great respect. We can now look forward to the continuation of Neil Lennon's match winning efforts in midfield supported by the old firm and the new, as yet unproven arrivals.
