I find it strange that we are making a press release at 2 in the morning!

[Conrad Gray]

I'm sorry to hear of Gary's departure. I know that he has worked hard for the club during his time at Easter Road.

I wish him well in whatever new role/job he finds himself in.

[Billy Whizz]

Who's taking up his duties?

I met him a few times through LWT and was always impressed with him and the work he put into the club. Good luck with whatever you do next, Garry.

[BroxburnHibee]

That's a big loss to the club.

I met Garry when I was working for Hibs 16/17 years ago. Think his role then was stadium manager so it shows how his role has grown over the years.

I wish you well Garry - good luck.

[Chuck Rhoades]

One of the remaining old guard and has served his time. Happy to see we continue to freshen things up at the club.

Thanks for your efforts Garry.

[overdrive]

Is this the beginning of LD bringing in her own management team? I wonder if we will see a new FD soon as well. IIRC Jamie Marwick was a Scott Lindsay appointment. I think they had previously worked together elsewhere.

Good luck to Garry. He always seemed one of the better ones on the Board in recent years.

[FranckSuzy]

I'm sorry to hear that as Garry is an excellent ambassador for the club. I wish him well in his next venture.

You shouldnt play down the role that the "old guard" played in keeping Hibs on track to still be functioning today from behind the scenes!

Garry has worked hard night and day for this club over the years and just because he has been with us 17 years does not mean his ideas were not forward looking or indeed fresh.

During earlier reconstructions of our board/management teams he took on added responsibilities and coped with them admirably and should have the respect that he deserves.

i personally will miss Gary being at the club and think we are losing a first class HIbs man through and through from our board of directors.

Other clubs have often admired the work he was doing with Hibs and im sure he will be snapped up by one of them.

Whoever replaces him has a BIG job to do in the future of Hibernian and i hope they will be up to it?

I just want to wish Gary all the best and thank him for his time with Hibs and to keep smiling!

I too wonder why this press release came out at 2am?? Strange one that?

I did not underplay anything and have dealt with Garry more than anyone at the club over the past 4 years.

Information maybe got leaked hence the strange timing to prevent rumours?

Let's deal with the elephant in the room.

Anyone know why he is being let go?

The announcement says G O'H is "leaving following a restructure of the club management."

What exactly does that mean? Presumably more details to follow in due course?

It means his face doesn't fit and he is being let go .....

Completely agree. Good luck Garry.

Maybe board members need to have notice on wording so all singing from same hymn sheet and someone was abroad? Don't think there's something sinister.

How do you know his face doesn't fit? You know this for a fact presumably?

"Being let go" - fired / made redundant?

[Gerard]

Good luck Gary.

[McIntosh]

This must have happened relatively quickly. Is it by mutual consent?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Never understimate the ability for folks to over-analyse things.
Yet another sideshow to the main event. Let's not detract from moving forward - it's even alluded to in the relase.

[Virginia Hibs]

Best of luck to Garry! Sure he'll find another role soon, in football or otherwise.
17 years have seen big changes at Hibs that have helped stabilize the club. I'm sure Garry would have liked to have seen more success in the field as well though!
A good Hibee and always had the best interests of the club in mind.
Reason for going? I suspect a lot of what he was doing LD sees as her responsibility along with George Craig these days. I have no doubt that Garry has left a legacy of progressive projects behind the scenes that will deliver value to the club and benefit the footballing side.
We'll see soon enough I'm sure.

I have worked closely with Garry on a number of projects for the club over the past 15 years, including enabling work for the then new West Stand and the East Mains fit-out. He has been heavily involved in all of the modern infrastructure we have at the club and he is as open and honest a character as you will deal with.

He also helped out with a small fundraiser I organised on here that raised a few bob for the Dnipeo kids.
He will take some replacing in man hours alone and I am sorry he has gone.
Good luck to him wherever he goes unless its the other end of the toon.

Spot on in everything you state.. A season ticket holder (at Hibernian FC) prior to taking up his position at the Club............ one of our own.

[oconnors_strip]

Wish gary all the best in the next step of his career. He is Hibs through and through

Think LD is changing a lot in the background, I believe other long serving staff are looking for jobs

[Ozyhibby]

I have no opinion personally about the job the guy was doing but I found it infuriating that not one person from last years board departed.
Maybe it was all this guys fault but I seriously doubt it.
Hopefully this is Leeann changing the whole structure of the club in time for one big departure.

[flash]

Hopefully it was his choice. Would hate to think a good Hibs man like Gary has been forced out while Petrie remains.

[Ronniekirk]

What is the word from fans on the Board re this Amit and Frank are you allowed to comment or do you have to keep stoosh

Hence in part, why I asked the question.

It appears he was pushed, rather than walked, and I have heard nothing but good things about him, so who did he upset and how?

[PatHead]

Not seen it posted elsewhere but notice Garry is leaving.

A good Company Secretary who went about his business in a professional manner. Didn't draw attention to himself just did his job. The way it should be. No dramas, just ran things smoothly. Good Hibby to boot.

Good luck wherever you are going. Wish you every success.
