So a review of the football structure, does Ben Kensell avoid being part of any review as he falls outside of the footballing structure? Does McDermott survive this?
I think the statement is pish, the cowards hide behind 'Hibernian FC Board of Directors' while they name one man, hanging him out on his own when then non-footballing side are worse than anything on the pitch. They also use Black Knight Football Club as a distraction, do Black Knight own us now? I've said it before, we are being controlled by a 25% stakeholder, pony up and then you can call the shots.
Ben Kensell. Take a flying **** to yourself, you are a disgrace. If you survive this season then there's no chance I'll be back.

Meantime the so called smaller teams often make life more difficult for the gruesome twosome.
It's been said so many times before, but very poor recruitment, particularly of the last 3 Managers, has crippled us. Basically a football department who do not know what their doing, appointing Managers who do not know what they are doing. A recipe for disaster.

I like the statement.
Ignoring for a second the fact that it’s been a pish season for football, there are just little things that people at Hibs are doing that gives me hope.
Statement of acknowledgment of the poor season strikes a reasonable tone. I quite like the way Monty turned up to face the music on Sunday and a couple of people I know who were there were impressed with his tone at the event. I liked the promptness of our response to the recent home game with Rangers, I like the simple fact that we’ve managed to source the input from a group like the black knights and I’m thrilled they’re set to be part of this review.
In general - I’m more of a learn and improve type over a head on a stick type. Maybe Monty goes in and his reflections on our recent failings are 100% plausible, exactly the same as the majority of us have been thinking and he has solutions to the problems?

Poor statement. Shrouded in smoke.
What's the performances and results over the next 5 games going to tell them that they don't already know already?
It's a maybes we will, maybes we won't vibe.
Football manager....some job eh

And I would say something not very nice in response if I had any ill-feeling towards you. But I don’t so I’ll respectfully agree to disagree.

Taking the fans for mugs, season after season.
Last year the Board of Directors announced a fundamental review of the football operation. They then announced the appointment of a Director to LEAD the football operation.
Less than a year later, the selfsame Board announce yet another fundamental review of the football operation. There is absolutely no reference made to the Director they appointed to head up the football operation.
Presumably they think we're just going to forget about the 2023 review and the role of Brian McDermott?
The lack of integrity in this statement is indicative of a dishonest board who take their supporters for mugs.
So many on this thread simply roll over and accept this fake propaganda.

I think a review of the ‘football operation’ was inevitable after our failure to make the top six.
Exactly WHO is heading the review is going to be interesting……it’s not an overall business review, but one of the football operations.
My experience of reviews….and I’ve been involved in many business ‘reviews’’ in my previous life…but not of football operations I might add…..is that it will inevitably lead to personnel changes.
I would expect McDermott and Monty and the coaching team to be recommended for replacement.
It’s difficult to implement reform from within, and usually senior management are directly affected as a result.
As it’s a review of the ‘football operation’ which clearly has been seen to have been a failure, whether I agree with it or not it’s difficult to see the major people in the ‘footballing operation’ who oversaw it surviving.
Not sure if it will extend to the CEO’s position, but we shall see.
As I said, it will be very interesting to see who actually heads the review….presumably someone with wide football experience as opposed to your general management consultant.Last edited by Forza Fred; 17-04-2024 at 11:32 PM.

Let's face it Ian Gordon ect don't have enough knowledge to analyse how the playing side is organised, they need a fresh impartial set of eyes on this
I don't think the results of meaningless games is what interests BK
Montgomery is obviously been given ultimatums here and if he can show that he has enough savvy to adapt or take on new ideas, then he might keep his job. If he doesn't then he knows he's out

The one question I have…
When is this review to be completed by and the recommendations provided to the board?

We were two points away from making the top 6, 20 seconds, games where we were wronged with decisions from inept officials, the margins have been fine this season and if any of those matches like the throw in at Ross County hadn’t been given we wouldn’t be talking of the failure we are now experiencing and we would be looking forward to trying to finish fifth or fourth, I do have some sympathy for the team in a season where officialdom has seriously let us as a club down.

We're that far off where we want to be and that can't have been the plan.

seventy e has the right to this lie own opinion but I’ve often wondered over the years about thr “illldknt be back until…” I’m guessing it started with Alec Miller. With ST attending upwards since then I’m wondering whether folks really follow through on that.
we almost lost out club. We used to sing “we’ll support you evermore”. We almost didn’t have a team to support so I’ll ever understand the withdrawal. Opinions eh?"We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012

I don’t see the statement as throwing Montgomery under the bus.
There have been a huge amount of posts on here slaughtering him and saying he needs sacked etc. There have also been loads of rumours about him being sacked, not settled and leaving, ALF taking over and more…
The club have just said we’ve had discussions about where this season has went wrong and everyone is in agreement it’s not good enough?
Why just Montgomery mentioned? Well he’s the manager and at the end of the day it all falls on him to get results. Not saying it should be the case but that’s football.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock and the Yorkshire Pudding II is now on his way out sooner rather than later with McDermott close behind as Foley will want his own people in place going forward to spend all his cash.
Kensall will be safe exactly as he planned when he set in motion the last clever reorganisation that fully protected his position and hung the manager and DoF out to dry.
