Memo to Leeanne don't bother setting up any into the future discussions because they are all worthless until your employers are able to give evidence of their serious intent to return the club to where it should be the rest is just rubbish and the fans know it so do us all a favour and do what the rest of the Hibs board do and distance yourself from these horrible people.

The appointment of Leeanne is evidence of serious intent.

Hibernian FC is more like a tanker than a pedalo. Steering it in the right direction is quite a task.

We got beat today but there were good performances on that pitch today, good signs that a different approach is being used.
Looking at the positives doesn't take away the hurt of being beaten .... again. But getting beat again doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge the positives.

I wish we could win every game we play but the reality is , wishing isn't going to work.

Steering it in the right direction is a fairly easy task providing you have a decent captain and a good helmsman

The club's been restructured from top to bottom over the summer. Everybody wanted change and LD's being left to do her thing. What's the point in harping on about the board.

Hibs will have (at least) the third biggest player budget this season. Apart from spending money we don't have, what more can the board do?

I can see where your coming from. For me win lose or draw Petrie should have walked. Another thing I think mate the board haven't backed what they said at the start of the season. Stubbs will need about 6 players to win the league. 3 or 4 to finish top 2 and 1 very good striker top 4. I think the board see just making play offs a success and we may be lucky to make that with this very thin squad.

You are missing my point.. Why have we no money?? Because we appointed failures in the past who we are still paying off. We have blown so much money on sackings because they weren't the right men in the first place.

I'll back LD but it's time Farmer dipped into his pocket because he DOES have money!! Oh wait.... He doesn't give a ****.

Sorry for still feeling strongly that we are being misguided again this season. No matter how many fan meetings we have it's the same story on the pitch. I feel for Stubbs I really do. He's trying to change how we play and the players (some) sent good enough and whether the support was happy or not at previous appointments it's there job to get the right man not the most popular.

You also think folk like myself should just forget the past 8 years of ***** and forget we are playing Championship football. One good or bad result doesn't stop me wanting Petrie gone along with Farmer. Hibs are not mediocre Hibs are rotten and heading down a route were 2 seasons on this league could hurt us hugely. Now whether you choose to ignore this fact that's fine, if you still back this board again that's fine.

Personally it's the soft approach taken to this board that makes them think they are untouchable. Just because they brought in LD doesn't make everything fine again.

If that's the case then I'm wrong. I'll also hold my hand up if we sign a quality striker. If we don't and the window shuts without us improving our squad, would you hold your hand up and say they have lied to us and let us down? Because there are players out there but I don't think we have the money.

The process of change is sometimes a painful one and in our case also not a short one. There are no quick solutions, no short cuts that we can take that will make us a successful football club, rather than a corporate entity. IMO the way to make our club a football club is to work with the club and be part of the process of change. 'The WT partnership is IMO the means by which change will take place. It is open to all Hibs fans to be a part of. Like many Hibs fans I have been a part of this process for just over 2 years. If you read the threads about WT it suggests that there is a process that will make our club return to being a football club. The more people that take this journey the quicker will be the return to OUR CLUB playing successful and entertaining football. The appointment of a FT dedicated CEO is a major part of this process. The new CEO has only been in post for a few months and in that time there have been changes in the way that the club is run. Hibs have recruited people who will in time make our present players better and all future players who come to our club to be as good as they can be. I would like to see more quality players come to Hibs now but OUR CLUB has to pay for these players and as we know OUR CLUB operates within a tight budget. IMO as fans we are the principle revenue stream that keeps the club open. STF and RP own the majority of shares but we will be there when they have sold their shares. In life problems and difficult situations can be transformed into opportunities to make things better. If we work with the club we will be part of the process that gets us promoted. I urge all the fans who want change to happen to be part of the WT process and make us proud to support this venerable club:wink:

Has AS not already said that there will be more signings before the end of the window? If so then he must have the budget.

If there are no further signings, then how could I possibly know why? Realistic and decent targets might not come for any number of reasons and AS has already said that he won't sign folk for the sake of it.

He has also been quite explicit about not signing players unless they've been watched x number of times. Given that the season has just started, could it not be that AS and his crew are still very much on the case?

What makes it worse is we aren't in the Prem now. We are in the championship and should have a team that will win nearly all games. Just like Hearts should and The Rangers. Sadly we aren't and Hearts for me will win it or win the play offs as they are stronger than us whether folk want to admit it or not. Not hugely but enough to beat us and secure vital points. I refuse to except the same standard this year simple as that.

At this point I don't know or care who is or isn't doing what.

We have too few players and too few good players. We have nine days to remedy that and even if we do so there will still be a lag in which we will continue to pay a price for our weakened squad until new players settle, come up to speed/fitness and blend into the team.

I'm blaming everyone who is either taking a wage or self conceited enough to be occupying a position at the club. I now have zero tolerance for their verbiage and their excuses.

Maybe Stubbs is dragging his feet on signings. Maybe the Board are dragging their feet on committing to the necessary wages. Maybe they are all leading us up the garden path on coming back up in one year. Maybe Dempster is daft enough to think that this is just Motherwell all over again and that we have small club mentality and maybe she doesn't get that at this point that are several years of grief to be addressed in a very, very short time. Maybe its all just spectacular bad luck. Whatever, I don't really care.

I'm simply going by the club's statements and what's actually happening.

Before relegation the club announced LD's appointment and promised wholesale changes. We've certainly had that.

The club has said that all ST money will go to the player budget. They've said this every year for a while and every year wages have far exceeded ST income.

In at least 2 interviews, AS has said that he wouldn't sign players unless they'd been watched at least 5 or 6 times. Given that the season has just started, it seems logical to me that this process is currently underway.

You obviously have your own sources of info., and I don't doubt you for a minute. I no longer have any direct contacts for inside info, therefore I can only go by what I see with my own eyes.

In saying that, my cousin's laddie has just signed up with Aston Villa so watch this space (he's only 6 though so it could take some time).

Let's be realistic.

We can only sign players if:
1. They're half decent, otherwise what's the point.
2. They're available
3. They're interested in playing for Hibs
4. We can afford them

As far as 4 is concerned, we don't have any money. Aside from all our other financial problems, for Terry Butcher alone we have to provision something like half a million pounds for the next three years to pay his salary. The lack of signings this window has nothing to do with biding our time and waiting for the cream to become available before Leeann and Stubbsy swoop like hawks on their targets...

As far as 3 is concerned, we're a club in a seven-year decline that is rapidly turning into freefall. We have showed this summer by the way we treated three youth players who had been offered contracts, and the youth manager who was the only person at the club that could hold up his head in terms of on-field performance, how 'success' is 'rewarded' at Easter Road. Why would any promising player with aspirations to and prospects of a decent career want to come to Hibs?

We could go round in circles as I strongly feel let down by the board and I'm told now we are toiling because of previous mangers the board appointed.

End of the day reality is we were the worst team in the league last year. We flirted with relegation before we dropped and ignored it by buying cheap journeymen and it's cost us dearly.

Obviously mistakes have been made in the past but we can't do anything about that now. I prefer to focus on the present and the future.

As for the young lad, he spent his summer holidays on a 6 week trial with Villa, and was told after 5 that they wanted to continue with him.

I think you are being fooled by the same con trick Petrie has pulled many times now. The problem is we are no longer merely stagnating we are on the slide. My problem with Petrie is that the club clearly has no intrinsic value for him, whereas it does for us, it has an instrumental value for him - he has SFA ambitions and his role at Hibs allows him to pursue these.

The club's been restructured from top to bottom over the summer. Everybody wanted change and LD's being left to do her thing. What's the point in harping on about the board.

Hibs will have (at least) the third biggest player budget this season. Apart from spending money we don't have, what more can the board do?

Where have you got these figures from, and do you know where its being spent?

Even if i believed you, which i don't. Most of it seems to be going towards a backroom staff influx, and past managers and assistants, its certainly not going on quality over quantity players.

So apart from the ugly cousins, what team in our league will outspend on the playing front?

At this point I don't know or care who is or isn't doing what.

We have too few players and too few good players. We have nine days to remedy that and even if we do so there will still be a lag in which we will continue to pay a price for our weakened squad until new players settle, come up to speed/fitness and blend into the team.

I'm blaming everyone who is either taking a wage or self conceited enough to be occupying a position at the club. I now have zero tolerance for their verbiage and their excuses.

Maybe Stubbs is dragging his feet on signings. Maybe the Board are dragging their feet on committing to the necessary wages. Maybe they are all leading us up the garden path on coming back up in one year. Maybe Dempster is daft enough to think that this is just Motherwell all over again and that we have small club mentality and maybe she doesn't get that at this point that are several years of grief to be addressed in a very, very short time. Maybe its all just spectacular bad luck. Whatever, I don't really care.

They need to either put up and deliver or shut up and go.

As much as it is hurting just now and has in the past, we need to look at the future honestly.

We have appointed a new manager and his coaching and support team, we have brought in a few players, not as many as we would like or possibly as many as Stubbs would like, we have appointed a new leader in LD who has many ideas but it will take time to see if her direction and appointments will work or not.

As much as we would of liked to have seen more players from previous seasons heading out the door it just wasn't feasibly. Most of the players that escaped the cull were on contracts, and the fact we have other staff still on the payroll getting a wage when they have nothing to do with the clubs means that players on contracts were only allowed to go if they arranged a move themself.

As much as I would love to see an immediate change of fortunatess, it's just not going to happen, there has been too much change to deal with.

Yes it hurts like hell and we all want a quick fix, maybe we just need to try and be a bit more patience for a bit longer and hope that We can build a solid foundation for years to come not just till the next manager change.

The appointment of Leeanne is evidence of serious intent.

Hibernian FC is more like a tanker than a pedalo. Steering it in the right direction is quite a task.

We got beat today but there were good performances on that pitch today, good signs that a different approach is being used.
Looking at the positives doesn't take away the hurt of being beaten .... again. But getting beat again doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge the positives.

I wish we could win every game we play but the reality is , wishing isn't going to work.
Cut that positive ***** out, it's not welcome round here.

If we have the third biggest budget then I really believe we are being robbed as fans because I refuse to believe we are spending anything like it. We were promised quality 3 players signed and 2 loans I'n too.

We have possibly got rid of 3 of our highest earners and we seem to be no closer to bringing I'n the other 3 minimum that we need to push for the title that we were promised by Leeann that we were aiming for.

Please don't think I'm being negative as I'm not but I am a realist and I really do feel at this moment I'n time I have been lied to and hoodwinked to buy a season ticket that I feel the money from said season ticket is not been spent on players as we were promised.
