    Seems like he likes the sound of his own voice.

    I've heard a few comments from him recently and I don't care for him very much.

    I wouldn't want someone like that at Hibs.

    Seems like an absolute welt. This behaviour will bear fruits akin to Butcher's here...

    Totally sound bloke that would bend over backwards for anyone.

    A chairman saying it how it is, breathe of fresh air if you ask me.

    Telling it like it is usually translates as talking through a hole in the erse.

    This is no exception.

    Man puts in millions of pounds into something he should have the right the vent as much as we do on this forum. If his players can't handle the criticism then they need to wise up. Sure it might be unprofessional but it could also be a kick up the back side the club needed

    That could prove to be detrimental to their careers.

    Even if he has a point, it's bad form to be doing that.

    Terry butcher was correct. Pat Fenlon had left him the most unprofessional set of fitba players he had ever seen.

    Butcher never bought any players at Hibs, he got 3 loans.

    I think the Chairman would have been okay with replies from his players, as long as they weren't abusive.

    Would have made for a good night night on twitter.

    Twitter is for twats who think they are more important than they really are.

    Crap wee team anyway. Who cares.

    Does Rod Petrie have a Twat account?

    Cheers.

    Or you could say the players didn't exactly try their hardest .
    I don't like terry butcher, but Fenlon was even worse. He was a complete clown whom the players ran rings round.
    Training was a joke, discipline was terrible, the players basically called the shots. Fenlon signed dud after dud after dud. Any good players he had went back the way. Apart from sparky who pretty much done his own thing regarding tactics anyway. I.e. Got the ball ran and shot.

    I'm amazed that shouting and swearing at them, especially the younger guys, didn't bring about an immediate improvement and ultimately avoid relegation.

    What young players is this?

    as soon as butcher asked them to come for double training , the day we lost a 2 nil lead at tannadice, the players went in the huff

    He's spot on. Players are far too protected by their clubs when they're not doing their jobs properly. He has every right to come out and say what he thinks. Maybe the players should buck their ideas up.

    Butcher made us worse, there's no doubt. But what he said wasn't wrong. Our players were ***** and tbh, the worst set of footballers I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

    Okay, I forgot. Fenlon left us in great shape, with great players, who were all fit and committed to the cause.
    fenlon should have walked after 1-5, and then ran away after 0-7.
    Rowan Vine anyone? Need I go on.

    Indeed. Quite remarkably he took a poor team (but one more than capable of staying up) and turned them into a relegation team.
