Don't know, but his attempts to turn every thread into a "we were better off under Fenlon" debate are tedious in the extreme.
Bombscare Really. You could put McPake into that category then last season.
If it's not Stevenson it's Hanlon.
Hanlon has been our most consistent/best defender for a number of years.
I take it you didn't see him against the Sheep or against Smellic earlier in the season. The guys been outstanding for us. Maybe not the best in the league but he's up there IMHO.
Hanlon showed what he's all about on Friday nite.
Maybe the problem wasn't Hanlon and that he was being dragged all over the place to assist his partner .....
You're right it is one or the other and deservedly so. You've obviously enjoyed watching Hibs the last few seasons then.
I was hopeful Hanlon would fulfil his potential and am glad he's started to put in more consistent performances. But to say he's played well for years is completely short-sighted.
I'm not goin to turn this into an anti-Stevenson thread as I like the guy but I think we will see TB bring in a winger who can actually beat his man
A Sunderland supporting mate of mine told me that Butcher went to look at the U21 striker David Moberg-Karlsson, but he started on the bench. Doesn't know if he got on or not though. TB has been to two of their games but he wasn't the only one there from the SPFL looking at players.
st mirren have signed greg wylde according to STV
Monberg-Karlson is a decent player. I'm not sure why Sunderland didn't give him more time on the park when Fletch was injured. Especially since Altidore was/is honking.
He's fairly quick too. Be surprised but exited to see him if this is the case.
What makes it more surprising is that apparently Fletcher will be a spurs player by the end of the window or when Sunderland sign this Argentinian lad they're after.
You can have a go at Fenlon all you want, his play style, his failure to use subsitutes, inability to get the players up for big games, yes, of course, he had his flaws and plenty of them, and yes, it was time to go, but in my opinion, he was a good manager for Hibs.
Obviously, there were major blips, two in particular, but all in all, he did what he was brought in to do. We improved after the end of the 2011/12 season and improved our league position hugely, reached two cup finals and yet again improved at the end of last season and we have a decent framework at the moment, with (hopefully) the right man to bring them on further.
Pat Fenlon did what he was brought into do at Hibs, he gave his all and it was time to leave, sick of seeing him constantly slated
FWIW, this is in general, not just upon reading this thread.
You ever thought that Hanlon was doing the job of 2 CH's instead of concentrating on his own game etc. I personally believe PH is one of the. Best CH's ,on his game in the SPFL.
Van Dyke probably is the best but I do think Reynolds and Hanlon are on a par. Reynolds simple mistake on Fri should of lead to a penalty.
If you want to start the negativity about a player (probably our best player in a number of weeks) then dad on.
There's always someone wanting to criticise players even when they are doing well.
Why are folk talking about PF on this thread. Try keep the posts about transfers/thread title related please:greengrin
Any chance of keeping this a transfer thread .
Ggtth
This is a transfer thread not a thread to have a pop at individual posters.
Let's keep it that way please.
