I don’t know what difference the five games make. If we win them all, so what? We’ve been garbage in all competitions this season and don’t win any big games.
And top 6 shouldn’t be minimum. Top 4 should be. So some ambition ffs.
Winning five games against the rest of the guff when the pressure is off is nothing.

McDermott is most definitely toast.

It could also be an admission that we've been a bit hasty recently in sacking head coaches and, as there's no real need to boot him now, they've decided to let the review run on the off chance they may just see some potential in Monty that we can't.

The statement is also premature. We could still find ourselves in a dogfight to avoid the playoffs.
They should have kept quiet until we were at least mathematically safe

I think it basically means improve the results or you are gone AND even if results improve you might be gone anyway depending on ongoing review with the Black Knights who I suspect will conclude he aint the right man

I read that as Monty has 5 games to convince the board.
I’m not one for demanding statements but I know a lot do, as far as statements go I’d say it’s good and fair.

I’ve thought all along that the BK would get their person in as a DoF, Sporting Director or whatever they choose to call it. Wouldn't surprise me if someone you’ve never heard of comes in to do that and a manager follows.

Pointless statement, painfully obvious the players are a huge huge part of this problem as they have been for the last 4/5 managers.
Manager in my opinion isn’t the right man but consistently changing managers, allowing them to sign horrendous players on long contracts then changing manager is absolutely killing us. Along with ludicrous contract extensions for our already average players too.
Genuine complete clear out from BK right through to Wollacott is required here.

If we could beat these teams consistently we wouldn’t be where we are. If we won the final 5 games that would be a massive improvement.
Won’t happen however

I'm glad they realise it's not acceptable

Would've been fine without it, but it's pretty inoffensive as these things go. Montgomery must go though, that much remains clear as far as I'm concerned.

Not sure what to think or feel about that to be fair. Defo sounds like NM has til the end of the season to save his job or he will be gone. He shouldn’t be the only one feeling the pressure though, those above him should be feeling the heat too.
See what happens in the summer, be wholesale changes I think.

4th paragraph, 2nd sentence "There's an understanding that results need to improve."
I think he's been told to win some games or he's out.

They’d have been just as well saying heehaw. The idea that results in the next 5 games should have any impact either way is nuts imo. Meaningless fixtures that tell us nothing.

Monty would have been aware of the statement going out.
They aren’t just going to release a statement surely without him knowing it was going out to public.
I guess the only good thing of finishing bottom 6 is a review may happen. If we had managed top 6 they may have just buried their head in the sand and thought everything was ok.

Cool story, bro.
Reads as an acknowledgement that the club owes us big time. It's the paying it back that's the important bit and untill that's happening I amn't bothered for their chat.

I think it's a little unfair to single out Montgomery in that statement, and I say that as someone who doesn't want him to retain his position.
A good few others need to take at least some sort of responsibility for this latest mess.

Just happy the Black Nights are involved in root and branch review of why the Club has failed this season in terms of results on the pitch
Assume they will have a time frame in mind so that actions can be taken as soon as season ends and by sounds of it if results don’t improve in las five games manager could go sooner

They’ve said they are reviewing the whole football operation. I think that’s quite meaningful. We could win the next five and still conclude that that all sorts of positions need changed, including the manager.

Yet another review of football operations, did we not do that before we appointed BMcD
We just want a good ****ing football team on the pitch hibs. Stop with all the bull**** corporate nonsense.
