Another weekend goes by. .. Training starts and Leeanne is at the training centre but no manager yet ... Things are getting desperate and time is running out !! Unless the man that comes in can get he best out of what we have and add a bit of steel in the defence, with a good striker then I can see us struggling big time.

Is it not taking longer because Stubbs agent is in Brazil so all negotiating is down via the phone and email?

I find it hard to believe they wouldn't just do a skype meeting or some sort of video conference call with all parties, doing negotiations with only phone and e-mail seems counter productive.

Agreed, if Hibs do not have video conferencing facilities at ER there are plenty business centres dotted around the city that do.

I think it's more to do with Stubbs' agent maybe being a bit pre-occupied in Brazil.

You cannot be serious?! We aren't even a team at the moment, no manager, no keepers, no coaches.

I mean this is getting ridiculous. I was told under good authority that Stubbs was going to be named on Friday and then told Friday afternoon one of his two coaches had changed their mind but it would be resolved before Monday morning.

I mean WTF?! What is happening?

In agreement 100% - those two must never, ever be allowed to shame our jersey's again !. Especially McGivern as it's blatantly obvious he doesn't give a toss - Hibs are probably nothing more than 'Champagne-money' to him !!

If he's read through some of the threads on this forum, I wouldn't blame him if he did. It's not just a team he (and LD) needs to turn around, but a whole club. What a mess Butcher & Petrie have presided over and left. It's a scandal.

Whoever takes on this job, all the supporters are going to have to try to get right behind the manager IMHO. If that happens, then that's a start. (However, the level of anger and disillusion which exists amongst the support does not bode well for this to happen, and we could then go into a further vicious downward spiral).

The big stumbling blocks might be 1) the quality of player the club is able to bring in may not be good enough; 2) can HFC offer decent wages to attract those quality players? and 3) will quality players want to play in the second division / championship?

Not trying to be "negative". Just my opinion FWIW.

Sorry, you'll have to expand on that!

I still believe that he was the man that would have turned Hibs around. To only give him seven months was ridiculous. He was sacked for all the wrong reasons, not because we were relegated. If anybody could persuade players of a decent quality to come and play in the Scottish Championship then it would be him. He still has a great deal of respect and stature within the game.

We have left ourselves too little time to replace him to make a serious promotion challenge, so now we are looking at a minimum of two seasons in the Championship. That is a huge financial hit.

I concede that Butcher made mistakes, and most likely under-estimated the deep-seated malaise that pervades this club from top to bottom. I would suggest that he is probably the best qualified person to tackle these problems, having experienced them first hand, and would know exactly what was needed to remedy them, and was willing to do so.

I wish Stubbs well, but he is another rookie manager, and he could not have come into Hibs at a more challenging time. Still think that he is a big gamble.

The two seasons is only your take on it but I respect your right to have that view.

Our last two 'rookies' were John Collins who won a cup and Tony Mowbray who didn't do a bad job :wink: I know TM had some cracking youngsters to work with but he supplemented them with players he had knowledge of from his time as a youth coach at Ipswich. It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that Stubbs could do the same :thumbsup:

Our real problem is that we somehow expect the management team at Hibs to be Hibs supporters when it is quite obvious they don't give a damn. The sense of urgency which pervades the posts above simply does not exist at boardroom level.

We will get a new manager sometime and all the fulminating will have done nothing but raise our collective blood pressure. Does anyone in power really care that our chances of doing well next season diminish with each day that passes?

How on earth can anyone still believe Butcher could turn this club around. He took a team that were mid table mediocrity to relegation fodder bereft of confidence and resorting to hoofball coupled with dreadful man management skills. He had chance after chance towards the end of the season to get the necessary points to keep us in the top division and failed at every turn. His assistant appeared to be more interested in exchanging obscenities with supporters instead of concentrating on getting a winning team on the park.

If Butcher was still our manager I'd be putting my mortgage on not getting out of the Championship next season.

Relegated from the weakest ever SPL. Not even second favourites to go back up. An untried manager. Hardly any decent players. ST sales way down and,to cap it all Petrie still squats in the boardroom like some great smug toad.

On the other hand we have some vaguely promising talk from our new CEO and we have revamped coaching for 8-11 yr olds. I find it amazing that so many on here are trying to enforce optimism when, so far, we have seen nothing to actually justify it.

Don't know if there's any truth in this but my mate whos a media facilitator for sky sports says hibs are waiting for stubbs to pick his back room staff before making an announcement and he may also be bringing some players in with him .....the hibs scout had ear marked some players and LD is running the rule over them but stubbs has the final say and is keen to bring in 2 or 3 players that he knows personnaly

No it wasn't. He was hopeless and got us relegated.

How on earth can anyone still believe Butcher could turn this club around. He took a team that were mid table mediocrity to relegation fodder bereft of confidence and resorting to hoofball coupled with dreadful man management skills. He had chance after chance towards the end of the season to get the necessary points to keep us in the top division and failed at every turn. His assistant appeared to be more interested in exchanging obscenities with supporters instead of concentrating on getting a winning team on the park.

If Butcher was still our manager I'd be putting my mortgage on not getting out of the Championship next season.

Oh he'd have got us out the Championship alright !!

If this is the new way of communicating with the fans then I am afraid LD has failed.. We read more about what is supposedly happening in the papers or on here than we get from Hibs .. Not a lot of improvement so far to see!!!

You're right, we get more news from here and in the papers about what is supposedly happening at Hibs.

Have a wee bit patience and wait to hear what is actually happening from the club itself.

I think there needs to be a wee bit of understanding of the position the club may be in if for example say Stubb's assistant who initially said he would come decides he doesn't want to come. Sometimes these sort of negotiations can take time especially if Stubbs agent is at WC. I am sure in the next day or so some announcement will be made one way or the other. It would be wrong for the club to be making an announcement on what if's.

They do not even have to go that far for me.

All the PR team needed to do was issue a statement to say to the effect: LD had carried out her initial review of the 40 applicants for the manager's position. Following interviews with the short listed four (?) candidates, LD has put her recommendation to the Board. Contractual negotiations are still ongoing with the preferred candidate and his agent and Hibernian FC hope to be in a position to announce our new manager as soon as negotiations are completed. In the meantime training at East Mains will be taken by __________

Instead we are left to read rumour and speculation in the media, a lot of which is picked up from .net.

I don't understand why folk get worked up because a paper or poster says there will be an announcement on xday and it doesn't happen. If you get annoyed at the club after a paper or poster gets it wrong, you're directing your annoyance at the wrong place.

The club will announce news when it actually happens - no speculation, no bull****. I really don't want to see the club wasting wages on putting pointless updates like "The process continues" on the website though.

Although the club obviously cant announce things that havent been finalised, I think its a fair point that they should be looking to get the fans back on side. Its been a month since we were relegated and Im not sure anyone is any the wiser as to what the actual plans are for next season, or when things are even going to start moving forward.

I know and I'm as frustrated as the next person, but official statements about grass growing don't really interest me either. I think that LD is savvy enough to know the need for positive news.

I phoned Hibs about 5 mins ago (24/06/2014 @ 14.05) to ask if there was any announcement due regarding a new manager and was told that any announcement will appear on the official Hibernian.fc website although she didn't give me any details when. I'd be very surprised if there's an announcement today, and I'm not even totally convinced that Stubbs is going to be the manager, all the stuff regarding him getting the managers job is pure speculation as far as I can see.

Do you want to phone Hibs back and ask if we're signing anyone. Also, if you could ask what shade of green the new strip is going to be, that'd be great. :aok:

Why would Hibs tell a random person who phoned up something that has yet to be officially announced? Even telling you when an announcement will be made is, in essence, confirming the appointment. Someone has also put a picture of Stubbs at EM on another thread so it looks like it is happening!

It is still my opinion that HIbs conduct their business properly. Announcements are made when there is something to actually announce. Anything in between, such as Hibs are still in the process of recruiting a manager would definitely be met with cries wondering why the hell they bother. Even if and even when Stubbs is announced there will be posts, and I could probably name some of those who will do it, saying why bother telling us something we already knew? Why is the Hibs site always so far behind the papers? Announcements will be made when there is something to announce. Patience is a virtue, be virtuous.
