Looking at the variables that have changed - three managers, DoF or not, and no difference. No improvement in the sort of area of the table we are trudging along in.
It’s time to look at what the constants have been during this prolonged period of underachieving. Otherwise we will just keep changing managers or roles within the football department over and over and over and expecting different results.Last edited by Northernhibee; 06-04-2024 at 08:56 PM.

Cant believe we have fans blaming the Gordons, do a whip round and buy them out, as they are putting their own money into the club to enhance every aspect and have ensured funds were available to buy players and retain our own stars. They have given the club more on and off the pitch than I can ever recall.
Yes we are all frustrated at the lack of progress but the constant changing of management has brought us no rewards and only impacts the available cash for the next manager as we have spent lots on compensation to managers and their staff. No manger has been chosen hoping that they would fail, thats just not true, and there is no certainty that the next manager will bring success, Sir Alex Ferguson is proof as he as about to get the sack at Man Utd due to poor seasons but eventually turned it round and the rest is history yet he would not survive a season at Hibs.

I absolutely get the criticism over the manager appointments, I’ll never understand how anyone listened to Johnson and fell for his chat, but at our level every appointment is a gamble to some extent. Look at the sheep, spending even more than us and in an even worse state.

Ben is a very clever man who has set up a very smart management structure.
He will be laughing all the way to his pension top up plan and his redundancy pay out.
Easy money if you know how. ✌️

Yeah can't believe fans are blaming those running the club for continually appointing terrible managers and having a terrible recruitment structure in place for 5 years, I mean it's clearly not the fault of those who own and run the club.

We need something like Ineos at United; turn over all football operations to the new minority owners. Let them clean house, start again.

Clearly he's done a very impressive job off the park, the owners think very highly of him and I think with recent stuff about opposition fans and referees, he's listened to the fans and stood up for the club.
That's only half the job, though - the part we all want to see is on the pitch on a Saturday afternoon and it's brutal, and has been for a while.
What does McDermott do? The club needed a DoF to sort out the football side of the club but I don't know how Monty fits in with the club ethos, what the long term football strategy is our what profile of player we target is etc. Stuff that the DoF should be accountable for but we just look like we're completely rudderless.
The problems run deeper than just the manager (he is a problem, too).Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Easy to make a stand and seem you're doing right by the club after billionaires are onboard.

I find it stunning that some defend Kensell on here, especially when they cite “commercial improvements”. Laughable. We just posted a massive loss. How’s that a commercial improvement? He’s failed on every measure. If I fail at my job I get sacked. When Ben fails he gets a pay rise. The guy has taken us all for fools, and yet those who frequent the hospitality suites can’t see the issue. Let’s see if you agree when we start posting crowds of 8,000 again…

If you're not going to make a stand as a club when your owners family are at a match where they disrespect Ron for financial reasons, then you're never going to suddenly take a stand cause a few angry Hibs fans are at an AGM.

I’m seriously swithering from my position along with where Mikey Stewart is (From todays Sportsound)
Today was the day by hook or by crook to win that game and show his mettle.
We must have failed to get our defensive targets in a typically tough January market. Did we assume that the Foley deal would conclude ahead of the window by get messed up by the delay?
From hearing McDermott speak I think he’s an asset. Come the summer window he’ll get his chance to show what he can conjour up - hopefully clear what’s needed."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012

What I would say is that at the AGM he did say that the Gordons wanted to do something about it before so maybe there was pressure from there as well.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

If the Gordons, think it was Ian in particular they mentioned, were pushing for reduced allocation and Kensell didn't make it happen then that reflects really really poorly on him. All about the money. Much like his reply to my email confirmed.
