Nelson
McGivern
Stevenson
Collins
Jones
Heffernan
Caldwell
Handling
Craig

All on 50% wages and staying unless they can find another club then.


is this just speculation ..or is it fact..... ?

[silverhibee]

Are McGivern and Nelson going?

Hopefully. Please Please Please let them go.

[silverhibee]

Williams is gone and Sean just text me to say he's out... Butcher better have a plan...

Pretty sure he will if he is releasing so many players.

Maybe the plan is to get players in who will work for him and get on with the job in hand.

[Lago]

Footballs football. I'm not buying this diffit rent club nonsense. You can either do it or not do it. The mentality of the players has to be right. Plainly the players were not up to it. It's up to Butcher and his team to identify the players to get us playing winning football and get us back up. You can be the best man manager in the world but the men have to have the right mentality. Too many players without that aided and abetted by some undermining the team spirits always a recipe for disaster. Pop in only one chance to do anything about it in January with no cash it was always gonna be close. A clear out now followed by everyone pulling together will be a start.
Totally agree. See a number of posts expressing sympathy because this player and that player has gone. Frankly a lot of this shoulsd have happened after the first Malmo game, since then the majority have had chance after chance, didnt take it so from my point of view good bye.
As for the hoof ball criticism I cant remember ICT being accused of it during Butcher's time there, what I do think is we had 2 centre backs playing yesterday of limited ability who resorted to a lump up the park and based on yesterdays performance they couldn't even execute decent hoof ball.

[Fat Penlon]

We don't actually know who this supposed 50% cut applies to. If it was everyone with a contract then you'd need to add Harris, Stanton, Forster and Hanlon.

But Robertson simply saying he has another year indicates not everyone is looking at a cut.

True

[Cropley10]

Yes, looks like I was right.

[Fat Penlon]

is this just speculation ..or is it fact..... ?

Not on the clubs official list of players released so take from that what you will.

[Thecat23]

Will make it all the more sweeter when we get promoted at the first time.

I can only dream.

If we did then yeah, I won't hold my breath though Silver that for sure.

[Cod Boy]

Who ís Boateng

[Thecat23]

I'm not in the Butcher fan club by the way. I'm just at a loss to see what's going wrong. I don't believe that anyone (never mind someone whos played at the highest level) would set up a team to go out and hoooooof the ball to nobody every-time they get near it, even when they're not under much pressure.

It's baffling it really is. But some on here think it's just simply the players fault when it's both them and management.

[steviehibsleith]

Agreed but many have short memories Paul Hanlon played in that game and has only been missing since the end of March .

Without details that makes this meaningful for any of us "not in the know" this is surely a waste of your time SH as you are only talking to yourself about stuff that you may have knowledge of and even then you are talking in a fairly "wooly" way! :agree:

I'm going by what I see on match days as I know about that and Butcher and Malpas have been poor and totally innefective in management of the players at Hibs and are at the root cause of the club having to perform in the Championship (jeez that name even makes sound as though it is a good quality of football too!)! :rolleyes:

Fair doo's, i have all day to post my views, if Butcher goes tomorrow then i will lose no sleep over it, i just don't think he will imo. :aok:

I watched a number of games in the championship last season, not a pretty place to be and yes some teams like to get the ball down and play football, they just aren't very good at it, the most important thing to have in that league is good goal scorers who will bag you 20+ goals in a season and we have a chance of coming straight back up. :agree:

So Hanlon is rubbish?

Handling staying. Source his twitter. 1 year left. Front two of Handling and Cummings wouldn't go a miss next season

[silverhibee]

Did players like riordan and O'connor buy in to managers plans in the past.

As i have said, this is not about Deek or Gaz.

But if you want a answer then ask the past managers.

Thankfully we will be bringing in a striker or two no doubt.

Handling not covering himself in glory with some tweets, taking the bait.

[silverhibee]

No doubt he will, I've read on here there is plenty of better keepers than Williams that we could easily get, still waiting for names though...

Williams was leaving us anyway, one poster has mentioned Brill may be on his way to Hibs more than likely as our No 1 and i have mentioned the lad Bain from Alloa as possibly the number 2.

Couple of names for you.

[silverhibee]

Does anyone think decent players will come to Easter road next season ?

Surely a player and his advisers will sit down and look at hibs and go; butcher arrived mid table and got them relegated, there are no / very few pros at the team and there not even in the SPFL. If I was a neutral I would not come to Easter road on that set of facts.

If the money is right then Yes they will come.

[greenlex]

Is Stevenson out of contract? Can we assume he has been offered a new contract if he is?

[Green Cabbage 7]

I know he is gone but does fenlon not play his part his players his team

If it is true then you and a lot of others will be happy....when are you doing a poll for the next scapegoat.........or is it already agreed on.

Steady, he aint a scapegoat, he just cant cut it at hibs.

[Thecat23]

Our saving grace is Hearts and Gers. Players will see the league will be competitive and have some big games.

One or two of the targets will no doubt look elsewhere but I think we should still be able to attract good players.

IF he means yesterday, fine, fair enough - if he means today, coz so many 'mates' getting bulleted - ****** him !.

Totally agree with getting rid of the dross that, imho, actively played to get us relegated. If true TB told them in January who wasn't being kept on, then how many of them did we see knock their pans in to interest other clubs ? - NONE !!.

However, my biggest worry for the future is no matter who we now bring in, Hibs must find out the reason why, after the initial 5/6 months, reasonably decent players who arrive at ER lose interest and go into some sort of lethargic malaise - Liam Craig being a typical example. Played well at St.Johnstone and for us when he first arrived - then just turned into a player who looked totally disinterested and couldn't give a flying-one !. It's not just him, and nor is it TB's fault - it's been happening ever since 'Collins-gate' and the phrase 'Player-power' became associated with Hibs.

[cabbageandribs1875]

We need to sign by the looks of it 12 odd players. Some job on Butchers hands. Here's hoping he does it, and does it better than Hearts and Rangers.

Doubt that.

Exactly, he assembled this shower off muppets, let's be honest the football being played then was awful, nothing changed the whole season, players were needed in January and we failed again to get any deals done, well apart from last minute loans

[#2 Double Tap]

But you would also look at some of the positives like; moving to a bigger club, being involved in a battle for the championship, being involved in scotland second biggest game, also playing and training in one of the best facilities in scotland. Living in edinburgh - playing for a club thats had great players like sauzee, best and the famous five........

[SlickShoes]

And he had his team safe and challenging top six and wouldn't have seen us relegated

Start of November 2013 we were 7th with 15 points, St Mirren were second bottom on 8 points with 2 games in hand:

http://www.statto.com/football/stats/scotland/premiership/2013-2014/table/2013-11-04

Fenlol ****ed us as much as butcher has. We were in the bottom 6 when Pat left and while he was here continually closer to the bottom than the top. We got a few wins over christmas and then normal service resumed. The players have been hopeless all season, I was amazed butcher got anything out of them at all over the festive period.

[cabbageandribs1875]

TB will pick up a few decent players at the WC :)

[silverhibee]

Players have let us down big time yes. So has Terry with his tactics. He's a clown of a man who's failed everywhere he's been. One good season at ICT well half a season. Sorry not convinced and I hold my hands up and say I was wrong about him.

That's fair enough TC, it's a Hibs forum not everyone will agree with each other, I'm of the opinion it is the players fault and yes Butcher has to take some of the blame for that, even if we stayed up this was going to happen today with the players, it should come as no shock to anyone that we are seeing a cull at the club.

You will know that TB MM & SM didn't come cheap TC, can we really afford to sack all 3 of them, imo i don't think so.

This is the position we are in after years of mis-management from the top of our club. :aok:

[silverhibee]

Ur club? Not his club, has he gone too?

That's what i wondered too.

[Weir7]

Yep fully agree that the top end has failed for to many years and we are getting exactly what we deserve.

It's bad for us fans but it's no shock. The clear out was always happening every player knew it. As for sacking, if he walked which I wish he would it would save us money.

Surely to god Hibs included a clause that they can exercise incase he drops us down to cover us? If not then that's another major **** up.

[silverhibee]

Bit surprised that some people are mourning the loss of the Mayburys and Stevenson etc.

Also that we still have posters saying we need to "splash the cash". We are *****ed, relegation will have a massive impact on an already tight budget. However if there is any positive for me, it would be we get rid of all these journeymen who have been bleeding us dry and get back to a young hungry team. If we had fielded our youth team this year I doubt results would have been any worse.

It has to be a young team next year, with a few players bought in. Booth, Black, Forster, Hanlon, Stanton, Harris, Handling, that's likely the nucleus of our team next year, that's the reality whether folk like it or not.

That's the way i see it too, youth and players that Butcher brings in over the summer.

[stubru59]

It's baffling it really is. But some on here think it's just simply the players fault when it's both them and management.


Without doubt the players and the management team are to blame. But the management team includes Petrie and the board. That said, the problems run much deeper. There's a culture at our club in which second best is all too readily accepted.

We live off the crumbs of our infrequent success. Teams of mediocre talents come to Easter Road expecting to win. How else can we explain our terrible derby record - especially in the 80's - where one team wanted to win and the other was trying to avoid getting beat.

This ain't going to be a quick or easy fix. And it might actually get worst before it gets better. What is certain, though, is that we can have little faith in those currently at the helm putting things right.

[silverhibee]

Is Stevenson out of contract? Can we assume he has been offered a new contract if he is?

You seriously expect Hibs players to be disciplined ?

Say it time and time and time again - after a really bad defeat players should not even contemplate social media to let things settle. Hugely emotive day and weeks ahead. Or use it like Maybury and Robertson, very sensibly and articulate.

I'm just surprised we've not had photos from George Street yet.

The day after relegation and as bad a season as I can remember and you think it's OK for players to be on social media sniping back at very angry and passionate supporters?

If they any brain cells, they might just have thought about taking a few days away from it all to let it simmer down. Clearly Handling is low on the brain cell count.

that poor poor woman :(

[ekhibee]

So how come his record at Hibs is so utterly appalling? I don't give a toss about his record at Motherwell TBH.

His style of football is from about 50 years ago. Nelson & McGivern hoof it up to a wee "striker" like Heffernan or Cummings (that's if it doesn't end up in the stands) and watch the big defenders gobble them up? Who tells them to do that? Who has been watching that for weeks on end?

As I've posted elsewhere, Hamilton Accies passed his woeful team off the park yesterday playing a modern style of passing football. A 35 year old Jason Scotland ran us ragged all afternoon. Yet he it seems is being allowed to stay on as manager. I really fear for Hibs. He lost the dressing room from what I can gather. He has lost the fans too. I wonder how many will be back to ensure those "funds are made available".

I was replying to a post that said his record was awful at every club he's been at apart from one season at ICT, and that, IMO isn't true. And as far as yesterday goes, nothing will convince me that Butcher wanted them to play like that yesterday, they were dreadful in every department. It's as if they just ignored what he wanted them to do, they were like scared children and it was embarrassing to say the least. He was out on the touchline frantically waving them forward to no effect. I don't see how, if he wanted them to play hoofball, that he would be egging them all on to go forward. Nelson and McGivern were ****, totally agree with that, and they've been like that all season too, but for that result yesterday I blame the team. As far as 'losing the dressing-room' is concerned, well that seems to have been the case with at least five out of the last six managers, and at least four of them were managers I didn't want as Hibs manager anyway, although of course I still supported the team. Butcher will be the first one to bring in a virtually entire new team of players. If that doesn't work then, like most other people on this board, I would want him out, and quick. That's just my opinion of course, you have a different one and I respect that.

Ask him how many times he was out in George st before a game. Hes a wee ticket. Who'll do nothing in the game

From what I'm told by some, he always goes out drinking at every opportunity.


He obviously knows the guy if he knows where he works and the guy is constantly posting abuse at him. Him giving a wee bit of a banter comment back is the least of our problems

I usually stick up for him, it was a one off. Others took offence to it, I didn't.



To be fair it actually appears to be banter between mates with the leishthedevil guy but won't stop others jumping on the band wagon. Don't seen Danny having a go at anybody else.

I don't class him as a mate. He just sees me in his local tesco and was at the charity matches we've been playing to raise money for tesco's charity this year and last.

No Hanlon is a decent enough footballer but he is not a CH.

We wouldn't be relegated if Paul was still in the team. You could put your house on that.

PF left us with no decent cover for any of our defenders so the minute we lost one or two to injury we are *****.

[HKhibby]

Bring back Eck, and Mogga! They can do half a season each...:aok:

Sad to say, but these two, Mcleish and Mowbray are the only good managers we have had since 1998 until now! Terrible!

I would bring in Mcleish tomorrow if there were a chance of it, but would he come back? i think he has sights on something abroad or south, also how much would he cost?

[BH Hibs]

“@ts_sport: Rod Petrie and Leeann Dempster have just arrived at Hibs' East Mains training centre. Players have left, Butcher is inside. What next?”

Hopefully he's being told tae **** off and Petrie's going with him. He's been gash with every club he's managed apart from one. He plays one up front with weak lightweight strikers, leaves the best passer at the club on the bench and brings in Danny ****ing Haynes into the biggest game of the season. His man management skills seem to be to tell the players they're pish then expect them to play for him. Yogi mark II. GTF

[Thecat23]

Yeah, he'll have to remain nameless I'm afraid but that was his reply when asked what he thought of Butcher

No worries bud. Seems a few in the game don't rate either him or MM. Or the way they speak to some players.

[Thecat23]

Surely he had the same thoughts about TB a few weeks ago when you were touting him for a move back to ER.

He thought he'd be punted he said last night.

[GordonHFC]

Spoke to him last night. I can't repeat what he thinks of TB. I was of the impression he liked him. Sadly not the case mate! Told me a few stories from his Scotland days and how he treated some players.

I said so that's a defo no? He said only way I'll be back now if I'm hired as manager!!!

But I thought he was desperare to come back and was just waiting on the club contacting his agent. If he has such a low opinion of TB then surely he had no intention of coming back ?

[Thecat23]

But I thought he was desperare to come back and was just waiting on the club contacting his agent. If he has such a low opinion of TB then surely he had no intention of coming back ?

Again when I asked that he said he thought TB would be gone come the summer. Clearly not so he's not interested in playing for him. Trust me it came as a bit of a shock to me as well.

[HKhibby]

It does.

But thats worrying, because he is just asking for a club that will give him a big transfer kitty

I think you are right about that in a way, as much as i like what Mcleish did for Hibs, when he left, if people can remember he left a lot of debt etc.. as well, but maybe he could do a job now for us, he is older and maybe wiser now as well, and has a lot more contacts and experience since leaving us in 2001

its interesting reading the comments about individual players who could come here and do a job for us ..or not .....but it will be the overall shape of the team that will actually dictate how good someone will be here.

Look at Rankin, Craig, and Wotherspoon to name a few,, who by all accounts have been tom tit here but have and are shining elsewhere....how does that work ?

[busby7062]

I liked AM as a manager. He did a good job for Hibs in getting us to the SPL. At the moment we have a manager and there is no vacancy. I think TB needs a chance to bring in his players and then he can be fairly judged as a manager. The Hibs BODs have had a lot of chances and can be judged. Mr Petrie you need a new challenge and I am sure that you will find one. The relegation of our club is not one that should have taken place. We had a lot of chances to avoid relegation. STF you have done a great deal of good for our club and no words can express the gratitude that you have earned through your actions. This club needs funds to be spent to get us back in the SPL and keep us there. If you take the view that this can not be done with the present PSHs of the club then this club needs a new PSH who can make this happen. This is a dark day for our club, please bring the sunshine back to Leith.:wink:

No mate just the same as others. I posted early this morning about Williams and Taiwo leaving before that was confirmed but I think it's a case most out of contract can go and the ones left are free to find a new club! Bar a couple I'd imagine.

[Sergio sledge]

;4030576']Did Paul not get injured around the same time as our wee 5 game run came to an end?

It was later than that, his last game was the Partick away defeat where Watmore scored.

I know you can prove anything with stats, but with Hanlon in the team we conceded 31 goals in 28 league games. 1.1 per game. Without Hanlon we conceded 20 goals in 10 league games. 2 per game. Considering we only averaged 0.8 goals per game, this difference is massive.

I think he has many faults, but he's by far the best of the centre back options we had this season. He'll be fine in the championship IMHO and others should be on their way well before him.

Five minutes ago you were telling anyone who would listen that 'Kenny' was desperate to come to ER and was sitting by the phone waiting on Butcher's call. Now, apparently, he doesn't rate Butcher and you're posting the supposed contents of a private conversation all over a public forum.

I know a Nigerian guy who's just come into a load of money. He might buy us. He needs help getting the money released though, all you have to do is give him your bank details and pin number and stuff and he'll transfer a load of it over to you.

The more we hear about TB the worse it gets. No doubt someone will be on here shortly to tell us Kenny Miller is just a back stabber and not the type of player we need at ER. Mind you the 2nd bit is true, he likes the ball to be played on the deck to him.

Calm down man.

I was passing on what Kenny told me ages ago he'd love to come back and play for Hibs. I assumed he got on with TB because of what he said. I didn't know he was meaning as long as he wasn't there.

It's my fault for jumping to conclusions I'll hold my hand up. But it's a public forum and I'll post what I like.

on a separate unrelated issei, it may come as a surprise to some but believe it or not Terry Butcher reads .net and other fans forums on a regular basis. Set up a user account terry and get involved.

I'd heard about that, can imagine him going metal at some posts. Honest mate I can't get my head round folk having a pop at other fans because it doesn't sit will.

To say I'm perverse really had me laughing. Poor guy!!

[Coco Bryce]

One thing I do agree is I'm bitter as well. I'm raging and fuming! How is my info second hand though if it's Kenny tell me himself?

Thank god I haven't posted half the stuff I get told about many things at ER. Like other posters we keep the majority of info to ourselves.

What I say does not influence the way things are at ER the fans will make up their own mind about TB and if he stays he stays. I don't rate him.

I learnt this lesson a while ago :agree:

[Thecat23]

Ladies, handbags away.

Mine is away now, to good to burst on him. Gucci number ;)

[bawheid]

I can't help who I know though. Would you prefer I told my mates to do one?

No, I'm not saying that at all. Maybe just don't go running to the keyboard with a chub on every time you're off the phone to one of them though?

[Thecat23]

Are you really laughing that hard? I detect a slight bit of sarcasm!!!!

Would you rather just hear the good things? Would you rather we all backed Rod after everything? Would you rather burry our head in the sand like previous years?

Some people would rather live in ignorance mate. That's up to them, but they shouldn't be having a go at the people who want to know whats really going on.

People deserve to know the truths. Its our club. Any wrong doings should be brought to our attention. Its our money that they're pissing up a wall.

Is that really true? Quite staggering if so...

[Kato]

What can't you argue with?

What bawhied said.


Would you rather just hear the good things?

To tell the truth I don't want to hear very much other than Hibs fans singing after a victory or three.

I certainly don't want to hear about Kenny Miller wanting to come one minute only for that to change that he only wants to come if the manager is gone and that weeks ago he though he would be going - in fact I'm not in the slighest bit interested in what kenny Miller has to say and don't want Kenny Miller any where near Hibs (your info is second hand btw as it's being filtered through you).



Would you rather we all backed Rod after everything?

Sorry but I don't know ehere you're coming from here. Can you point out where I said anything resembling that.


Would you rather burry our head in the sand like previous years?

I've never buried my head when it comes to Hibs and that's after supporting Hibs since 1968.

I'm surprised you're still here given you said you were giving up supporting Hibs if we went down, why aren't you burying your head in the sand?

FWIW I agree with Bobby Williamson in that internet chatterboxes are the worst thing has happened to football clubs in the last 20 years.

You might think writing up your ITK stuff on here is all fine and dandy but not everyone thinks that way and those who don't aren't necessarily burying their heads away.

I just wish we could have sorted this mess months ago and TB didn't write them all off. I also wish those same players didn't take the huff and actually put in a performance so that we would be in the prem next year.

[silverhibee]

If kenny miller loved hibs he wouldn't care who was manager and how much he was getting and play for the badge. That's what you do when you love a football club.

:agree:

He will be playing for The Rangers next season.

More in the know info?

[Zander]

it seems strange that Liam Craig is the only contracted player to get any kind of a mention so far especially when there are more obvious players who should probably leave.
I wonder if he had some kind of a clause in his contract that would allow him to seek a move in the event of relegation.

Does anyone see a potential captain next season from those still here?

[silverhibee]

Keep posting what you want mate.:aok:

Would love Kenny to return and play a role at the club. But don't blame him for going nowhere near us at the moment, as it would be career suicide under the current climate.

Lets face it H his career as a footballer is coming to a end, he will do another 2 seasons and hang up his boots at castlegreyskull and then move in to management or media, time is running out for him to come back to Hibs, it shouldn't matter who the manager is, it didn't stop him from turning up for Scotland squads.

Hamilton probably

Same. Not the best player we've had but gives so much passion and heart and gives 100% each and every game. I fully want him to stay, I think he will do well with us next season in the championship.

[Thecat23]

You actually can't help it, can you?

I was replying to another poster and told him a team from the prem are in for him. Is this harming Hibs too?

You are certainly an interesting character I'll give you that.

It sure is cous. Went and done the press rather than come into the dressing room.

[Bostonhibby]

Yep, can Lewis and it will be the first time in my 47 years following hibs where wearing the jersey means you are out. The boy has been let down by successive managers trading off his ability to play anywhere for the jersey. In other words he understands what we, the fans are about.

[Kato]

Out of interest then, so you think this board should remain?

No.

Said for years that Petrie should have left after the East Stand was finished and, preferably, should have left before then. What he knows about football you could paint on a pea with a paste brush and why any football fan would want him connected with their club is beyond me. I did think at one point that having him at the SFA would benefit Hibs but now think he'll make a shop-front of that as well.

Out of interest why would ask that question?

This little spat started because thecat23 posted details of what I imagine was a private conversation all over the Internet. Basically Kenny Miller is desperate to come to Hibs, but only if Terry Butcher is sacked?

[BSEJVT]

On the basis I believe he will turn it around, bring in decent players that will fight for promotion next season. It's my opinion deal with it.

I can deal with your opinion no bother as they are like ********s everybody has one.

To say it is fundamentally flawed is a huge understatement.

If you can point to one thing the dream team have accomplished in their time at ER I will be astonished.

They are:

Tactically useless

Football dinosaurs

Have the ability to demotivate an underperforming team and turn them into a shambles

Have alienated virtually all of their employees

Are arrogant beyond belief

There is not one single redeeming feature of their time at ER, not one

How you can blindly believe that they will turn it round is just beyond me, can you explain the basis of that belief as I may be missing something from their stellar tenure at ER that has led you to draw your conclusions

Their previous achievements don't support that assertion one little bit

As for their time at ICT. even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally

BTW this is my opinion so you to can deal with it.

[Thecat23]

No.

Who said Lewis is away?

[The Leith Dutch]

Does anyone see a potential captain next season from those still here?

If Jordon Forster can sort out enough of the issues in his game to be a guaranteed starting XI pick then he strikes me as captaincy material.

[#2 Double Tap]

It should be a total clean start. Petrie should act the management team. It looks like total chaos they caused. You want to buy in to TBs thing, but the evidence just says NO. the team selection at PBS and the football we tried to play against hamilton at home - its crazy.

All the reason to invest. Slow ****ty start and it's an ever decreasing circle....down. They HAVE to get it right this window. One roll of the dice or we become the Dundee of Edinburgh.

Just pray that Butcher is up for this, because it looks like he is the Hibs manager going into 2014/2015.

Edit: spelling.

For what its worth I was told from someone who had played under Butcher that he was not a good man manager and his training methods were prehistoric.
Also that he would be a failure at Hibs.
All look to be spot on so far.

[Hermit Crab]

Not really. All he does is parrot back what the fishwives feed him. I'll never understand folk who get a perverse kick out of being seen as 'in the know'. Weird.

You're the boy with that small man syndrome, aren't you? Maybe try standing on a stool.

Just leave it. Why have a pop at someone because he got it slightly wrong. I'd rather the in the know posted stuff rather than being shot down by folk like you that could cause an argument in an empty hoose.

It's cool bud it's all good. Posting things as I do I'm up to be shot down and sometimes whether the way the do it is wrong may have a point.

I'll still post anything i hear but I jumped to conclusions that Kenny would arrive no matter who was here. I didn't know he was banking on TB leaving.

Anyway it's all good.
