Petrie Must Go

[southsider]

I have today written to our Chairman informing him that is my intention to move a motion of no confidence with him and his board and asking him to step down forthwidth. Have given him my full name and address and that of my seconder. As the small fan shareholders have a tiny percentage of the shares so i have no chance of the motion being carried. However, a massive show of hands against Petrie at the AGM will show him what we think of his disasterous chairmanship of our club. If you agree, please attend the AGM and back the motion.When i receive a reply i shall post it on here. Keith

Good Luck from a fellow Southsider !!

[blackpoolhibs]

Good luck matey, this protest against him should carry on until *removed* eventually leaves the club for good.

Today we witness another one of his disastrous appointments leave with a pay off presumably, taking more money out whatever budget we have.

That man has cost us untold amount of money, OUR money and still he hovers in the background dividing the whole club with his presence.

Just go Petrie, and give us our club back.

still he hovers

Wow, hes' invisible and he can hover. He's a rotten football chairman but that induction into The X-Men must be on the cards sometime soon.

There's no question of RP losing a vote of no confidence, of course. But it's still worth doing in order to maintain the pressure on the club for change.

Perhaps not but it is better than doing nothing and watching him ruin our club.

Wasn't aware the conduit put money in the club, I am aware he's cost us 100's of thousands with his bad appointments though.

The thing is, if he hadn't recruited Marsella as well as Butcher and Malpas, he would have been criticised for penny pinching.

I remember one poster saying that it had to be all 3 of them or we might as well give up, or words to that effect.

That was a particularly stupid remark, but vitally every Hibs supporter and football commentator, thought we'd played a blinder getting the "dream team".

Marsella's work ethic, driving all night, sleeping in his car etc was held up as examples of how brilliant we'd done in getting him.

If we all agreed with those appointments at the time, it's a bit hypocritical to slag Petrie off now.

The rest of your post I agree with although the motion of no confidence will achieve nothing.

The only people who really care about the club..... the fans. Once Petrie goes i would gladly put in £200 per month. There must be a few thousand fans who would invest in the club. How about you ?

Go back if you want Dave, and look at my posts and a few others when Butcher was mooted to be our target. I stated then that his managerial career was shocking, and he'd had about 18 months of very good times with Inverness, and the rest had been sacking after sacking.

I can't speak for anyone else, but i don't get paid to make these types of decisions, Petrie did. He was once again hoodwinked by someone who had achieved very very little in his managerial career, and his appointment was him and his boards appointment.

And once again another dud was appointed and again sacked, HE failed not the fans who may have wanted him.

Fair play to you, Keith as at least you are trying to make your feelings (and those of countless others, going by threads on here) known

Completely agree with your comments, there would have been an uproar if RP had failed to get all 3

Every word true as I still cringe at how I too generally held this belief.

Me too. I also cringe at the selective memories of many on here.

I am coming to the opinion that at AGM time RP will announce that he is standing down forthwith.

I think even he has accepted that his position is untenable, given the division caused by his continuing involvement, and will use the AGM as the forum to announce it.

He can't' sack anyone else this AGM.

Do you think he'll get a round of applause?

If he does, Fred (fingers crossed smiley) how many on here, who said they won't return until Petrie has gone, will actually come back I wonder. I suspect some will move on to say they want STF out first and some may say they won't come back until the team is worth watching.

I ask this because initially it was only until RP departed but I suspect some goalposts may be moved

I meant to say "virtually" every Hibs supporter. I'm not used to my new phone's predictive text yet.

I know not everyone wanted Butcher, but a huge majority welcomed him excitedly.

JB, you're spot on. All we can do is turn up each and every week doing our bit for the greater good of our Club. Petrie,Farmer, the Cost, the Home strip..........the cost for some I do concede but the others".....?

[Hibeesforever]

Well done that man, I don't own shares but would gladly help recapitalise a Hibernian Football Club without him attached formally to the club.
The owner, Sir Tom, is also inextricably linked with this nadir period of our history. ...if he was a true community minded person, he would pass the club off, "free" of charge for no premium into a special purpose Trust, from which new capital could be raised....the time for bluster is over. Look at the league table and lower your heads in shame Messers Farmer and Petrie. You should redeem your reputations by handing the club to the fans for free. It is the least you could do because of the emotional trauma in the community that has been caused on your watch!

[greenginger]

Have to say I was delighted when Butcher and Co were appointed, so I would not slag Petrie for making the appointments.
Things were looking good for the fist seven or eight games then the rot set in and there was obviously a giant rift between management and players.

That's when a football club chairman should step in and knock heads together for the sake of the club.

I've no idea if Petrie tried and failed to bring the sides together or just kept out of it because of previous problems when he entered that territory, but that was a serious failure and he should have at least resigned as club chairman the morning after relegation.

[lucky]

As I have previously stated on another thread I'm totally in support of this move.

Good luck, nae problem supporting this in person one the day, and if I can't get up I will arrange a suitable proxy - know a couple of other shareholders who will support on the day too, hope it gets that far.
