I was having a discussion with a few mates about Hibs, and how we're not getting motivated for games.
I would have though that for a group of players who's contracts are nearing an end - a lot of them who are punching well above their weight by being at Hibernian FC - would be working their ***** off on the pitch to ensure we renew their contracts, and that they remain at a respectable club with a strong fan-base, decent salary structure, great infrastructure.
However, these players clearly aren't working their ***** off on the field. The lot of them show no drive, passion or desire. There is little to no team-spirit. This is the opposite from what I would have expected. Here are the only explanations for this:
- They believe that they will be offered a new contract with hibs, regardless
- They believe that they are destined for bigger and better things than Hibs, and have no fear that they will be snapped up by bigger clubs
- They are not enjoying themselves at the club (dislike the coaches? fellow players? fans? location?)
What do you think the reason is?
