Beale lasted just 10 months in the job before a 3-1 defeat to Aberdeen on Saturday saw the club's hierarchy take action.
That result saw Celtic extend their advantage to seven points over their arch-Glasgow rivals at the summit of the Premiership.
And Lennon is adamant that, as well as the results, the recruitment carried out by Beale has taken the club backward. Lennon said:"I have to question why they got rid of Van Bronckhorst in the first place and get in Michael. "I know he worked under Steven Gerrard before as a coach but it's a totally different mentality when you become the manager. He had a brief spell at QPR and I think he's a good networker. The enormity of the job started to sink in."He came with this huge reputation, what it was built on I don't know. The proof was in the pudding, there was noof play, no, 'I can see why they brought this player in'.
"They've lost three out of seven in the league and I'm sorry after a year in the job that's unacceptable unless you have credit in the bank with a trophy, people have seen some sort of progress but there was none of that."Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
