haven't bothered to read page after page in this thread. I jumped in saw that post and figured I would contribute what I've been told. No wind up, if i was the wind up type I would be posting more often.
Was just chatting with my uncle the other day about it and I mentioned Neil Lennon and he said he was never considered (maybe not seriously). Asked him how he knew and told me he knows staff at the club. He is involved with the Peterhead set up and wouldn't be surprised if he knows a few people at a few clubs. I live 5000 miles from him so i don't really badger him for info.
