Blame game

[ArmadaleHibs]

Sack the board. Sack the manager. It's the fans fault for not backing the team. Tactics were wrong. Who appointed him. We've lost out on another player. We've improved. Were crap. At last a decent manager. Were even worse now. It's not his fault. Sack the board again. We're going down. Bring in jimmy calderwood. Back the team.

This is a snippet of near enough every thread started in recent years.

Like most supporters of hibernian football club, I am no different. I eat sleep and drink hibs and when things are good I'm happy and when things are bad, I'm sad, which as we all know is about all the time at the moment. I would say that most of the comments on hibs. Net are reactional at best and a huge amount of the comments have had us as fans arguing amongst ourselves as to how we see the club needs improving. We've had such a bad run of mediocricy in the last several seasons that it has become the norm for us to fill our threads with negativity, arguments, judgements and guess work as to what's wrong. Who do we blame. Is it us, the board, the management or indeed the players who in my eyes are the defining factor in all of this. It all stems from what eleven (albeit with subs) players achieve in 90 minutes. In our case very little.

There's an obvious flaw in our club structure. We as fans can see it a mile away. The media can see it. They've slated, slagged, laughed at and written plenty about how bad we are. Were slowly turning into the club everyone outside Easter road thinks we are. The more this carries on we will have absolutely no chance of anyone player worth their salt wanting to have anything to do with us.

Where the hell do we go now. I for one have a real fear that were going down and if we do I also believe it could be the ruin of us. I'm not trying to be negative I'm just going on what and where we are as a club right now. To say were in a sad state of affairs is an understatement.

Back to the flaw in our structure. CHANGE. We've had more managers in 12 seasons than half the teams in our league combined. We've tried more players than the majority of teams in our league. We've sold more players and wasted or hidden near enough all the cash brought in. We've had a different starting eleven every week with no proven winning combination. We've sold more season tickets recently with less crowds (that's bonkers). Why. Because we keep changing things, constantly. We as fans have no clue as to where we're going. The management has no clue as to where were heading and are guaranteed to be handed a budget that's far beyond unrealistic. The boards remit is to keep us afloat and no more as our owner believes that just having hibs in the community is good enough. We as supporters have argued and faught amongst ourselves and at times probably had a negative effect on the players.

Were all to blame. Were all having a negative effect on things and were all slowly killing this great club. When I started this thread it was more to do with being annoyed at the reactions to players, manager, board ect, but in truth I can understand why we get annoyed as the club means everything to us fans. Unfortunately it doesn't mean that to the players, management, board and owners. Thus meaning the changes will keep happening, the fans will keep blaming everyone and everything and hibs as a whole will keep sliding away.

How the hell do we stop this mess
