This is year zero. We've got everything right off the park, now we've made a bold appointment for manager, taking on a successful and committed guy who will do things his way, and with a staff not mired in the stodgy mediocrity of the SPL.
It's now time to reap the benefits of the facilities we have, and attract emerging and one or two established talents to Easter Road.
It's going to be a rough ride over the next 18 months as we are now (finally) addressing a culture of failure, having been going backwards since 2007.
But the good thing is that we will see SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENT and not the usual mumbled excuses for why we're standing still or going backwards.
This is day we start to cash in. GGTTH

Yes this is what we need!
I agree with all you say Bob and would add that now is the time for all Hibs supporters to back the new manager as he picks out whats to stay and what needs moving on from the playing squad.
I look forward to a challenging and exciting future and agree that there are difficult times ahead where the nettle has to be grasped .
Lets give this manager the time and backing to get the job done, lets not expect miracles but a sustained improvement over the next 2 1/2 years.
We're in the mire now but I see light at the end of the tunnel unlike our near neighbours who's plight is dire. GGTH

Hope you are right, lets see if there is a root and branch clear out of the dead wood at ER, things are/were not right at ER but hopefully the new man can move us upwards and onwards to the land of decent throw ins and well taken corners-well that would do for a start !. I don't know if will see the immediate difference such as Mcinnes has achieved at Bristol but it shows what can be done when the manager has a decent brain on him, fingers crossed.

The bitching about the football side has been addressed in terms of coaching staff. Miracles wont happen overnight, but we should - repeat should - see an upward move now.
The bit in bold is daft. If Fenlon is good then its luck?
Harking about the inadequacies without waiting a decent period of time to see if the fairly radical changes actually work are pointless. If ever theres a time for us all to concentrate on the football side of the club its now

We should see an upward move now? but not for last 2/3 managers? what was supposed to happen then? What decent period of time? 5 years since winning cup was not enough time to have had the club sorted? So every time they get it wrong and sack manager they have the time factor reset to zero to judge them?
So at what point do you think wait a minute, if Pat fails is it then just ok lets get in another? for me it has passed that, so it is just the manager who gets a timescale then, the board just keep going and going and have no timescale to try and get it right, for me they do get a timescale and have long since failed on it, what is so radical about us getting in yet another manager with the same bosses?
I would say day zero was cup win as an excellent starting point how we have ended up where we are since then is a disgrace.
I am not convinced Pat is the right road to go down it seems and is my opinion that maybe he could be more easily controlled from upstairs than I would like. Of course if the board keep hiring they will get it right they have had enough shots if Pat is right does well and naturally moves on to better I have no confidence the board have it in them to continue the success, that is why for me the changes are not radical at all its same as before really.
I wish Pat well and truly hope he is strong and right for this job, all the best Sir.Last edited by Captain Trips; 28-11-2011 at 04:57 PM.

Well said Bob
We are finally going to start reaping the rewards of continued support (for us that stuck it out anyway ) and a few disappointing seasons. This is no longer a transitional season, hopefully Nutsy will have signings and improvements in mind after watching at the weekend.
Everything is there, a recipe for success

I think most of us would disagree with that.

As it's also a year zero, it's time we wiped the slate clean and united as supporters again. Those who claim to speak for the support yet only put forward their own opinion now need to either piss or get off the pot - we've gotten change, which is what we wanted. Whether or not you wanted change at board level, we've still gotten change, and we now need to show a united front, show Fenlon and whoever is in his new team that we back them, and want them to succeed as a Hibs team that tries.
You know something, maybe it's time as Hibees that if we hear anyone in the crowd shouting abuse at youngsters like Spoony, we confront them. **** them, it's time we adopted a "you're with us or against us" mentality - what we need right now is to turn Easter Road into a fortress, and if the boo boys want to jeapordise that, **** them, we can do without them and are better off without.

Unfortunatly Peev you do not dictate on when I post and on what subjects, 100% feel free to rip my content to bits as I will with things I dont agree with but I think basically asking somebody not to post views you disagree with is a bit of a joke.
So I assume Peev you have never stated a positive on a thread started in a negative manner? I assume thats fine though? I know I have posted positives on mainly negative started threads and negative deemed views on what might be seen as positive threads, its a messageboard Peev with different views try to always remember that before aking folk to give it a rest.Last edited by Captain Trips; 29-11-2011 at 03:08 AM.
