It good that they acknowledge that being in the bottom 6 is simply unacceptable. With that in mind I would have liked NM sacked now even before the review of the entire football operation, which is a good idea.

Only positive I see is they have specifically stated BK will be heavily involved in the review which is good.

I think that the use of the phrase "simply unacceptable" is quite powerful. That doesn't sound positive for Montgomery.

A full review was done, we appointed Brian and we’re even worse off

Having failed to achieve the “absolute minimum” and having overseen a “simply unacceptable” league finish, surely the manager has to go.
I cannot see how any other conclusion can be drawn. Don’t understand why he’s not gone already.

In all seriousness though, we've just had massive investment from a large footballing organisation
As stated they will be heavily involved in this - it's not just about who the manager is it's about structure and the qualities needed in each role to be successful
The folk that were on the negative end of the spectrum on hibs should be rejoicing

The fact it’s came to the board feeling this is necessary should be a massive sign things are not good at all
Massive booing
Poor fan engagement / relationship with players manager again!
Poor results
Writing is on the wall
I don’t understand why a few thinking these five games saves his job
If he wins each one 3-0 it’s still not good enough were they’re in the first place
For me he’s a dead man walking and Hibs are just dragging this out unfairly on both him and us.

I just don't see the point in persisting with this any longer, just let Gray and McGregor run the team for the final few weeks.
This limbo can't be beneficial for anyone, Montgomery included.

Agree that bottom six is Montgomery's responsibility and he has to be held to account after the Livingston game is over.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Took 4 months to appoint the DOF last time.
Who from BK is doing the review ? Sounds like it could be a review of things between now and end of the season and then changes at end of the season.
Anyway - won’t be content till we improve results and performances and stop losing regularly to teams with less resources.

I’m sort of reading it as that the season has been effectively written off and the marked improvement in results starts immediately in season ‘24/‘25. The chances of being dragged in to a relegation battle do appear to be highly unlikely given the maths.
From now until then it’s about addressing where we went wrong and what needs to be done to put the club in a stronger place on the park.
If the manager was to be dispensed with I’d have expected that to have been announced within that address to the support. A couple of wins against say Livingston and Ross County shouldn’t be key to any managerial decision being taken at this stage.
Might be reading it different to others but that’s my take on it anyway.

That’s a final warning imo, significant upturn in results or he’ll be away at the end of the season.

If the board let this run beyond the summer, and we end up sacking him early next season, then, quite frankly, we're a laughing stock.
If the board back him now, then they must realise they're leaving themselves in a ridiculously difficult situation should the season start in a similar manner to this.
This is what makes me think his position is untenable, but I don't understand why it's not been done and dusted already.

The writings on the wall isn’t it, there’s just no coming back from it for Montgomery.
Will the Black Knights already have a DoF in place at another club or one in mind that they think the can appoint quickly to fix our issues?

Montgomery is toast.
Might be some contractual thing in his deal that he has to linger around the corridors until the end of the season so Hibs can punt him on the cheap.

Feel like a few uncomfortable questions are coming his way in the next press conference. Actually feel a wee bit sorry for him, I won’t lie.

He's done a poor job, absolutely no denying that. But they've kinda done him with that statement in my opinion.

Personally think this should have been done at the end of the season after our next 5 games.
