The Blame Game

[HibsMax]

Yay, another poll which will prove absolutely nothing but I am curious to know how the posters on Hibs.net would distribute the blame. So check all the boxes that apply and let's see where the cards fall.....

We have got a decent bunch of players that are miles better than some of the teams above us but we've not got the right manager that has tactical sense or know's how to pick a decent sqaud..... Blame The Manager !

If that's true then personal pride should have seen them produce a better performance than yesterday. The players are partly to blame.
Having said that Yogi seems to send them out with great big question marks over their heads with nobody seeming to know just what they should be doing.
The board appointed him, so they can take a piece of the blame too.
The fans are the innocent victims.

Didn't vote; but all five factors are at play to some extent.

It's just that 70% of the problem lies with the Manager.

I ticked Manager, Players and Board. All have some culpability attached

Then check all 5 boxes if that's what you think. :)

[blackpoolhibs]

I ticked all 5.

[cabbageandribs1875]

the first three

It's the board - the message board that is.
24/7 polls everytime someone sneezes serves what purpose exactly Internet polls in particular foot forum ones are not exactly MORI polls

Off topic was it Lynne & Geds anniversary yesterday - coincidence if it was - ours anaw

Manager top, then players second.

I'm intrigued to see that almost as many people think that the board is to blame as the players

I'd rather not as there is no facility to weight the different factors.

Therefore unrepresentative of my views.

[Albion Hibs]

All of them apply for me, some more than others.

Luck is a big one, things are just going against us, my honest view.

The Board should have a look at themselves for the strength of there negotiation over Stokes - I didnt mind seeing him go, but how can hibs do any business if we wait to get shot of stokes till the last day of the transfer window - word to Rod, he was under a good contract - we held all the cards, how we ended up in that position I will never know.

Manager - listens to much to the fans, who they want to see and play etc etc, Bamba and Wotherspoon should probably take sometime of the bench.

Fans - lets be honest we are poor. The loudest are stadium is, is when we are booing!

Good to see you read my very first sentence. ;)

There have been so many posts recently blaming everyone. What better way to find out how the fans feel than a poll which completely excludes the unnecessary and sometimes inflammatory commentary? And this poll is a little different as I am not asking people to pick one person to blame - since in all likelihood it's really a combination of factors. Polls aren't for everyone and they are not mandatory. Please take the results with a pinch of salt. ;)

I am hopeless with dates, I barely remember my own anniversary. lol.

Happy Anniversary to you!

I hear you and I agree. A weighting option would be nice but in the absence of such complex technology we have to go with what we have. :)

Do you mean Lynne and Ged Reilly from Dalkeith? If so how do you know them mate? I used to work with Ged. They were both at my wedding.

I take it that if you are asking this question to HibsMax then he must be the brother-in-law that Ged is always going to stay with in Boston (MA that is ) .

Nitin, my apologies

Say Hi to him next time he's over-staying his welcome at your place.

BTW, i voted for the manager and the fans as I think we are ALWAYS too quick to abuse our team when things aren't going well. But hey, that's easy for me to say in NZ I suppose.

Because the board keep cutting corners when it comes to the most important part of the playing side. Although the player budget available will also limit the quality of manager who would apply, even if his own personal salary was right.
