Bottom 6 - Has the club said anything yet?

***One Day Soon*** · 14-04-2024 10:53 PM

We’ve just finished bottom six. Another humiliation for the club and its support.

Has the club - particularly the Chief Executive or the owner - made any statement yet? Any apology, statement of intent or regret? It’s over 24 hours later, you’d imagine a leadership remotely worth its salt would step up to communicate with the support, even if only to pay lip service.

**B.H.F.C** · 14-04-2024 10:59 PM

Couldn’t give a **** what they have to say. It’ll just be the usual stuff that we’ve heard numerous times before. Any kind of statement means nothing.

Waiting for the end of the season to congratulate everyone on finishing top of the bottom 6, great achievement for NM and the team, hoping they can finish top again next year and cement our position of best of the rest.

I hope they don’t make any statement. Seems to be statements flying about for everything these days.

Don't you have access to the usual channels or was your question merely a vehicle to vent?

Might be worth remembering our owner is a lady who very recently lost her husband before we pile into her as well.

Kit Gordon may be owner in name and I think she's involved in the community side of the club but I'm pretty sure she has nothing to do with the actual running of the club. That's on Ian Gordon, Ben Kensell and Malcolm McPherson. Who I'm sure the poster was actually meaning. And I'm sure you knew that.

**Geo_1875** · 15-04-2024 07:08 AM

I don't want to hear any statements just now. Hopefully the board are as angry and frustrated as the fans and are working hard to make the necessary changes.

"Pretty sure".

If the manager is staying then I doubt they’ll say anything at all aside from maybe an end of season “we know this wasn’t good enough” message.

***Argylehibby*** · 15-04-2024 07:46 AM

A statement saying we are too big a club to finish in the bottom six among the dross of the league? It would sound pretty arrogant.

The absolute last thing they should do is make some mealy mouthed, lip service announcement.

Sacking the manager and preferably themselves is the only announcement from the Executive management/board that I'm interested in and we all know that's not going to happen.

Yes. You don't come out with that. Though they should certainly be feeling that way behind closed doors. And their actions now ought to reflect that fact.

**I'm Spartacus** · 15-04-2024 08:09 AM

Absolutly NO to any statement as BK would make things even worse. He'd use Ron's name and also use the new investment to distract from the reality that we are a complete shambles.

I mean, TBH, right now I'd settle for a pretty short statement just apologising for failing to make the top 6. Particularly given the rather ill-judged 'jubilation' comment from the manager post match on Saturday.

You're funny.

Yep, and rightly so I think. An end of season statement before the end of the season doesn’t seem necessary to me.

I am but not sure that's relevant.

**stuart-farquhar** · 15-04-2024 08:20 AM

The new BTG looks good though.
Probably be as empty as the images in the brochure. How prescient of the management.

I think the club should always communicate with the fans. Some call it lip service, I think it’s just good practice to speak to your customers who you heavily rely on.

Things haven’t been good enough this season, I think the club do need to publicly acknowledge that.

Our season pretty much has ended.

We were so, so close to jubilation though...

We should demolish it again.

There will be the usual media blackout.

There has been multiple posts and interviews.

***MagicSwirlingShip*** · 15-04-2024 08:46 AM

I’d be interested to know, since the split was introduced. How many times have we finished top 6?

No offence but its pretty easy to find out.

I agree. It looks pretty weak that we haven't acknowledged it in my opinion. You could bet your life on it that if we'd secured top six the socials would have been full of the "and how are we feeling this morning Hibees?" stuff.

I don't care how it makes us look to other clubs. Bottom six is an embarrassment and the club should be saying it isn't acceptable and acknowledging the support who as always, have been excellent this season and travelled in numbers.
