Protest my :asshole:

[FifeeHibee]

Can we please give the board a break!They've tried to do well by us!...

Calderwood- Solid record in England
Hughes- Fans' (cheap) choice, mistake. The fact that he couldn't string two words together should have been a clue!!
Mixu- Had done ok. Popular (cheap) choice. mistake.
Collins- Potentially fantastic. What went wrong?
Mowbray- INSPIRATIONAL.
Williamson- Supposedly solid....ahem! Board mistake.
Sauzee- Who wouldn't have taken him on?
McLeish- Strong appointment. Best available.
Duffy- The only obvious blank!
Miller- Yaaaaaaaawn. Board was too loyal for too long.
Blackley- Who wouldn't have taken him on?
Stanton- Who wouldn't have taken him on?
Auld- Could have done better! But a high class pedigree.
Ormond- Who else to follow Turnbull? Who wouldn't have taken him on?
Turnbull- The magician.


That is one good set of appointments. They didn't all work out. Unfortunately the recent good ones pissed off pretty quick! Money talks!

Now tell the board they suck!!

No one can deny that Hibernian FC has seriously under performed for a club of its size over the last 30 years. Apart from the odd League Cup win we have won zip and punched well below our weight. And don;t get me started on how bad our Derby record has been - in a 2 horse race. A few of the appointments have been ok - Turnbull (genius), McLeish (pretty good) and Mowbray (inspired) were all great appointments and brought Hibs fans moments to remember. The rest were basically failures - some of them spectacular.

Boards are not there to be popular, make the obvious choice, act as lay people or fans. They are there to make the right decisions for the club and on the whole they have failed when it has come to picking a successful manager. In fact their record is so bad, sticking a pin in a list of candidates would probably have given us a better return. From top to bottom, the club looks stale bereft of ambition, self-belief and drive. You can only blame one group for that - the Hibs Board.

A friend has just shared a link to a "sack the board" protest on Facebook. 7-10 tomorrow night at ER.

I was reading 6-45pm start and the shareholders join the meeting at 7pm and the other fans protest outside. AGM last 90 mins. Protest wont be anything like 3 hours.

It is another way for fans to get the message over to the board and STF. We have had enough.

[Newhaven]

I got a text saying that Albion Hibs will be at Easter Road from 6.30 to boo every single shareholder and supporter that goes in as it's their fault that were in the state we are NOT the board or Calderwood.

[hibsbollah]

Funnily enough, I found myself admiring a yellow cardigan the last time I was at Ocean Terminal. :shocked:

I'm gonna take a box of fake mousers down so the protesters can kick them up and down St Clair street.

[Kojock]

Was speakingto a G4S official after the match on Saturday and they were saying they had got wind of a protest and that they would be stewarding it accordingly.

[green glory]

I've got an old puppet of Sprocket from Fraggle Rock. Put a wee suit on it and we're sorted.

Again Hibs fans putting the boot in, the guys are trying to get the message across that enough is enough, nowt wrong with that, Petrie needs to get the message. If I was back in Edinburgh I would support it aswell. Weve turned into toothless fans. Why do we find it necessary to rip into the ones who are making a stand for the club they love??

[KeithTheHibby]

I got a text saying that Albion Hibs will be at Easter Road from 6.30 to boo every single shareholder and supporter that goes in as it's their fault that were in the state we are NOT the board or Calderwood.

Well if that is the case I look forward to him booing me then. What a prize plum.

true rubbish idea. we should praise petrie for loosing 1000s of season tick holders, running up millions in operating losses in last few years, no more family silver to sell, product on the park being dire, more managers than hot dinners.

look forward to hearing from you at the AGM praising Rod.

Perhaps the punters that cant take anymore of our club falling apart in front of our eyes want to remind STF and the board they have had enough.

[frazeHFC]

[HibeeMG]

I believe people should have the right to protest at anything they want but in this case I have to completely disagree with those standing outside ER right now.

What an absolute embarassment to see people shouting 'sack the board' just a few paces away from the latest addition to our fantastic ground.

Are all the protesters under the age of 25? They must be because they wouldn't remember the dark days of the Mercer take-over and how far we've come since then.

Yes, for the most part, the on-the-field levels have fallen short over the last few years but to be standing there on national telly I think is wrong.

What was pitiful about the two gentlemen interviewed on Reporting Scotland was that they seem to think sacking the board will automatically bring new investors in. I'd have thought nonsense like this stunt would only put off any sane investor. I think they are misguided.

He cannot live on the coat-tails of the good forever, good for him he diverted a huge chunk of some transfer money we got to help stablise the club, but for me he is now doing damage to the club, for all the money that came in thanks to the scouts he has possibly just cost the club a fair bit of money.

Thanks indeed for some of the stuff done but now well passed sell by date and should leave asap.

No sane investor would put any money into any Scottish club. Football in Scotland is littered with the carcasses of otherwise sane, successful business men who pump millions into their local club and get treated worse than Satan himself.

Folk think theres a long queue and forget the seventies are over.

On another thread a poster asked we thought changing a manager would change anything at the club. I defended the fact that, hopefully, a new managerial team would bring the club together in a lot of different ways.

However, I would take the opposite view when it comes to changing the board. What makes people think anything would be different? Would it not be a huge gamble?

I'm glad you've acknowledged that RP has done some good at the club. What would you have liked him to do different during his tenure? What consequences would the club have faced if he'd have done those different things?

It's a little bit different when it comes to managing a football team because things are a little bit more black and white (or less grey!). Each decision will probably see an immediate improvement or deterioration. When it comes to matters of finance, I think things are a lot more long term.

I am not for one second saying that the board and RP have done everything right. I just don't think change for the sake of it is what we need right now. I also don't think that RP deserves the abuse he has been getting but that is my own opinion and I can see why people are lashing out.

It is not for sake of it though we simply should be doing a lot better to even slightly justify all the expense on the infrastucture, Rod Petrie IMO is found wanting on football matters, we are at the stage or should have been on football issues other than building/investing and imo failure.

For a club of Hibs' size, building/investing and investing in the football side is a balancing act. Every penny is a prisoner for us.

I do think that RP has done a very good job in the main but has taken his eye of the footballing side of the business. I do not believe he should go because of it though. I think it would be a waste.

Instead of 'sacking the board' would it not be an idea to bring someone onto the board who is a 'football man'?

Anyway, I'm going to leave this thread to updates from the AGM.

I believe people should have the right to protest at anything they want but in this case I have to completely disagree with those standing outside ER right now.

What an absolute embarassment to see people shouting 'sack the board' just a few paces away from the latest addition to our fantastic ground.

Are all the protesters under the age of 25? They must be because they wouldn't remember the dark days of the Mercer take-over and how far we've come since then.

Yes, for the most part, the on-the-field levels have fallen short over the last few years but to be standing there on national telly I think is wrong.

Even if they were under 25, what's your point??

No doubting we've had 25 years of progress but there comes a time for change. Our time was about 3 seasons ago.

If you need you need change in the world then you need the youth to drive it. If that's what it takes at hibs then so be it.

I'd argue the older generation of fans have been accepting the same old ***** for too long and just can't be arsed to do the right thing!

It's our club, not petries or farmers. If we want change then we can make it happen.

GGTTH

[Barney McGrew]

Petrie on interest in calderwood in the summer - 1 club wanted less for him than was paid to NUFC other sent mixed messages over desire for him as #2

Shareholder making point about supporters' disgust at players in media for all the wrong reasons. Lots of 'hear hears' from crowd.

Fans weren't consulted over Friday night football because "it's an experiment to see what benefit there is"

[HibeeMG]

seems like a fair question tae me.

For one, they're two completely different types of business so it's an easy one to get out of and therefore we learn nothing.

For two, what did the questioner expect STF to say?

Usual good and positive noises coming from the board, now to follow it up with a swift, decent managerial appointment.

More importantly though was there a scrap in the car park.between a couple of fat bassas at the protest, that's a big team protest!!

[1two]

owh my god we're turning into jambos.

No, in fact the exact opposite!

Yams have been bending over and recieving romanovs fat one (I have no proof he has a fat one) for a good 5-6 years now.
Apart from the open letters signed on kickback and the odd hat getting kicked about theyve just accepted it

On the other hand year after year after year the hibs board have asked us to accept their apologies for yet another failure (does nobody else think its strange that we have sacked another manager just days before the AGM?)
Some hibs fans have had enough and they're trying to do something about it, others are like yams and just accept it, roll over and take it!

Even if they were under 25, what's your point??

No doubting we've had 25 years of progress but there comes a time for change. Our time was about 3 seasons ago.

If you need you need change in the world then you need the youth to drive it. If that's what it takes at hibs then so be it.

I'd argue the older generation of fans have been accepting the same old ***** for too long and just can't be arsed to do the right thing!

It's our club, not petries or farmers. If we want change then we can make it happen.

GGTTH

But who decides that 'we' want change. I accept that the 'sack the board' brigade have some valid points just as I would hope that they would see some validity in mine. Who gets the deciding vote then because it isn't black and white is it? You cannot guarantee me that things will improve or even that they won't get worse by changing the board.

Oh, and I'm only 35 so I'm neither the older generation or the youth! :greengrin

This is my thoughts. They are not going to come out all negative. They can sound positive which is great, but we need to see the changes, mostly results wise.

[TheEastTerrace]

Jim Spence - One fan tells rod Petrie you have to look at your position as chairman given your record of managerial appointments

Rod Petrie says board meet tomorrow to discuss candidates for hibs managers job

This does just sound like some fine management speak in places.

[Barney McGrew]

Fan makes point that Mowbray's team increased fans but won nothing.

Petrie: We have been in top 6 in past 6 out of 7 seasons, with cup win & Europe. But we take responsibility, it's a board decision.

RP: not just looking at managers out of work. We are prepared to go for man already in employment

At last look the wee 'should RP go' poll was around 50/50 so no clear majority there then.

I think this next managerial appointment and how the rest of this season goes is massive for the board. Like I say, I am for backing them at the moment but can see merit in what the opposers say.

[hibiedude]

Again Hibs fans putting the boot in, the guys are trying to get the message across that enough is enough, nowt wrong with that, Petrie needs to get the message. If I was back in Edinburgh I would support it aswell. Weve turned into toothless fans. Why do we find it necessary to rip into the ones who are making a stand for the club they love??

The fans that protest have every right to do so after all they protested after the Game on Saturday and come Sunday Calderwood was gone.

Petrie should walk but from what im hearing some muppets are are hanging on to his every word. I wish some fans would get a back bone

[The Falcon]

Usual good and positive noises coming from the board, now to follow it up with a swift, decent managerial appointment.

More importantly though was there a scrap in the car park.between a couple of fat bassas at the protest, that's a big team protest!!

There were a lot of people who thought the last four were decent. Thats the hard bit.

Oh, and ye'r a cheeky bassa! :na na:

We were in a similar position last season. The difference was we had X amount o players out of contract at the end of that season. We had just completed the stadium and if the correct appointment was made we could have progressed. We're worse off now than last year yet some fans are wanting another let's wait and see season.

And if Petrie is stating that he hasn't received a salary this season can someone ask if he has received any pay out from hibs in any way this year and if so, then how much?

No argument from me there. With the exception of Hughes I was a fan of the almost all the appointments this board have made, as were a majority of fans. A fact often overlooked when the knives are out for Rod and Co.

[TheEastTerrace]

Ewan Murray - Hibs should be a major Scottish club. If the present incumbents aren't taken to task now for this ongoing malaise, they never will be.

[grunt]

Are Rod and Vlad the only options we're allowed?Clearly not. I was just offering an alternative in order to make a point. Which is more than most folk who want RP to go.

I wish some fans would stop talking utter rubbish and thinking they are talking for the majority!

In this financial climate the main criteria for a chairman should be someone who can run the club well and keep us on a sound financial footing. That for me, for now, is Petrie.

Yes the recent appointments haven't been as we hoped, but it baffles me how so called professional managers can be so inept tactically as the ones we have had.

I am talking about the financial footing that has taken us from what.....£20 million in debt........to £6 million in debt with a payment plan to pay that off. I am talking about the kind of financial footing that also has our assests worth a lot more now.

I get your point about the product on the park, but two things.
1. the wage to turnover ratio is higher than its been for a long time, and business wise shouldnt go any higher!
2. even when we had the product on the park, we still have half our support that only come out for cup finals. If they all came to ER then think of the money we could spend.

[BSEJVT]

Farmer calling for us all to stand together and support the board

Frankly whether we like it or not , we have no choice

RP will leave Hibs at a time of his and only his choosing.

Now there is a school of thought that says lets make life so uncomfortable for him that time will come sooner rather than later.

I dont hold with that at all

Hibs needs to be run as a business to ensure we are always here

That means that there is always going to be a tension between what the business needs to do and what the fans want to happen

That wont change whether RP is Chairman, or anyone else

These though are really dangerous times for Hibs in particular and Scottish Football in general

Relegation is absolutely unthinkable, but a real possibility

We need to unite behind the team, the board and each other

I think I feel numb over the piece. Some interesting teasers in there from STF acknowledgement of frustrations with discipline. In otherways unremarkable. Seems
Like they took some steps to diffuse things the extent to which hard to guage

If only you'd gone along to probe that instead of telling us during the AGM itself.

Did plan to, and arranged proxy, but meeting I'd hoped to schedule with bank/financial advisers didn't come off.

I'm sure we'll get a more in depth report from others who were there once they get back home and logged on.

Frankly whether we like it or not , we have no choice

RP will leave Hibs at a time of his and only his choosing.

Now there is a school of thought that says lets make life so uncomfortable for him that time will come sooner rather than later.

I dont hold with that at all

Hibs needs to be run as a business to ensure we are always here

That means that there is always going to be a tension between what the business needs to do and what the fans want to happen

That wont change whether RP is Chairman, or anyone else

These though are really dangerous times for Hibs in particular and Scottish Football in general

Relegation is absolutely unthinkable, but a real possibility

We need to unite behind the team, the board and each other



Agreed :agree:

[jabis]

The fans that protest have every right to do so after all they protested after the Game on Saturday and come Sunday Calderwood was gone.

Petrie should walk but from what im hearing some muppets are are hanging on to his every word. I wish some fans would get a back bone

this muppet disagrees with you,infact I think you are spineless,due to your obvious inability to grasp some major facts,and your ability to lash out at anyone who does'nt agree with you.

A lot of the credit to the journos for Tweeting from ER. The wonders of social media!

Hopefully read some more in-depth stuff from those who were there later

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Why did STF say he would consider further investment if it was for the benefit of the club. Surely any investment would be a benefit, how would it not be ?

We need players that are hungry for success and prepared to work not just ones prepared to pick up a high salary even sit in reserves. Also need to spend wisely.
Do we buy fish or a fishing rod?

[HibbyAndy]

Cheers for the update guys much appreciated :aok:

any investment would need to be paid back at some point, so just wasting a million on some dud players really wouldn't be helpful. However if we get a good manager who can trade wisely in the transfer market then it might be a good investment and a good time to make it.

Good to see Paul dalgliesh still takes a keen interest in hibs. Asked on twitter for hibs fans to keep him updated with the agm

Applied for the job? :hmmm:


Jim Spence - One fan tells rod Petrie you have to look at your position as chairman given your record of managerial appointments

Rod Petrie says board meet tomorrow to discuss candidates for hibs managers job

That's like asking someone their name and them saying "five past ten". Answer has no relation to the question.


I cant even keep reading this now cause I am so fed up hearing all the drivel tonight.

RPs comment (posted by someone on here tonight) that ER has become intimidating but not in the way they had intended, is bang on! I am not saying that RP is blameless here, but for me a group of our own supporters (a fair sized group going on tonight) are creating an atmosphere of crisis around the club that the media are jumping on and making worse!

To be fair, I'm fed up hearing the folk paying for Hibs being slagged off by the club and other supporters. Would everyone prefer that supporters don't bother turning up, if their presence isn't appreciated?

[zlatan]

So to summarise

Nae fights
More of the same from the same board for years to come
Usual cliches
We're all in it together
Together we are stronger, together we are Santan...emm Hibernian

[Part/Time Supporter]

Well that about it sums it up he got rid of Yogi and got in CC Aye he is the best Yogi got us intae Europe in ah.
Yogi didnae deserve the treatment he got fi petrie

If Yogi is such a brilliant manager, why is he still out of work?

****s sake, Calderwood's arse is barely out of the door and he is already being linked with a job.

[SkintHibby]

Well what a crock of sheit that AGM was!:rolleyes:

The investment would be for a share of ownership - namely it would need to be at a price to satisfy STF and RP.

Their presence is appreciated, if they actually SUPPORT the team. The players are scared of playing at ER the moment! I dont want to turn on the tv tonight and see us headline news because we have a protest going on against Petrie. We need to get rid of this crisis atmosphere round the club, a new manager will help unite everyone I hope. But at the moment the media are having a field day jumping on the crisis at hibs bandwagon.

[H18sry]
