Lennon ready to talk....

[Marco G]

If they love Hibs it shouldn't take Neil Lennon's appointment to persuade them to buy a season ticket.Correct. But it could help to persuade a a lot of ditherers!

[jacomo]

It's hard to see how we could have made a better appointment. Every appointment is a risk but Lennon has the credentials to win.

As for the supposed short list - MacKay has produced a manual on how to run a football club - he might get a chance to implement that elsewhere but we already have a structure in place, so I don't think he would fit the remit.

McLeish never seemed interested in a return.

Here's to an exciting season ahead.

[Nutmegged]

Why :confused:

Why do you think? Its the same reason Celtic are looking at shifting about 10k more STs this year to, an ambitious appointment is a statement of intent and that more often than not grabs fans attention

[Greenworld]

I doubt this will ever be confirmed until the next AGM but rumour is Sir Tom Farmer has injected a cash amount into the club as a "Scottish Cup win Bonus" the amount is unclear but is obviously enough to pay lennon the highest management wage in the clubs history AND secure a reported THREE transfer targets Lennon wants.....👍

Why do 99% of fans rate Hanlon and you don't?

These will be punters who haven't had a season ticket for a while, with the cup win and a signing like Lennon, they can now see the direction in which the club is now moving. It's the missing 2-3K that we're trying to tempt back, do you love Hibs more because you already have a season ticket, if you think that it's a strange attitude to have.

[adhibs]

Why :confused:

Why not? Would it be better if they never botherd?

[Nutmegged]

That's such a distorted view, it's about ambition, surely you get that? This happens the world over, a football club shows ambition and fans will react to it.

Poor Gail may top himself over the next couple of days.


Himself, erm the name Gail makes me think it's a female :greengrin

[Super_JMcGinn]

Out of interest who was your first choice?

Stuart McCall 100%. I just don't think Lennon will be a good fit for our club, Obviously hope I'm wrong and he is a huge success but I doubt it.

Lennon agreed it last week. It was Parker he was waiting on and once that was cleared it was all go.

Henderson will be back as well.

[Nutmegged]

@AgentScotland has been on the ball with this one on Twitter from before the Sun 'broke' the news, even the length of contract (rolling) and now he's saying Lennon told Hibs he wants Kris Commons, this gets better and better

Let me assure you nowhere near 99% of Hibs fans rate Paul Hanlon.There are a few vociferous backers on here for sure, of which a few I bet haven't been near ER in years if ever.

Surely it's impossible to say that just now about Henderson as we have no way of knowing whether Brendan Rodgers thinks he is a player or not, I doubt we'll get any clear understanding of who Celtic do and don't want for the forth coming Season until they do their Pre-Season.

I wouldn't hold my breath for Henderson, even if Celtic do send him out on loan again I'd imagine they'd be wanting him to move onto a so called higher standard League, for what it's worth I think he'll be a Celtic player next Season

He's rated by the majority because he's a good defender, who improves every year.

Time will tell,but L D knows what McCall can do and clearly hasn't made him the Boards preferred first choice
Given the Transformation that has taken place at the Club since she arrived , she has not done a lot wrong
I trust she sees Lennon as the Manager to get us promoted and she clearly hasn't just opted for the cheap option so she gets my backing ,as does the New Manager and both will now be judged this season on whether we come up
You seem to have a closed mind as to whether he can be successful before he is even in the door ,and before he has made signings .

I think this may have caused the delay in Lennon signing any contract. I'm pretty sure Leeann will have insisted on a "nae shan gear in the dugout" clause. While Lennon prob wanted a waiver for tracky b's and boots.

Gray - Lets not let the fact he scored the winning goal in the cup final cover up the fact for the majority of the season he was poor

McCormack - Last I saw of him was when he was sent off for head butting Palazuelos

all imo of course.

Sir David of Gray and Lord Lewis of Stevenson can do no wrong, irrespective of any previous poor performances or transgressions. As long as the manager picks them to wear the green & white of Hibs, I will support them fully. They are now both above criticism.

David Gray was magnificent in his first season, over the piece not quite so good in his second.

I thought he was tired, he played a lot of matches and put in a power of work in the ones he played.

What he did do was put in some really notable performances in big games towards the end of the season - excellent in the home playoff ties.

He did more than anyone at BOTH ends of the park to drive us on to our monumental victory when tbh his tank must have been about empty.

I'm sure he'll be one of the players Lennon will be most looking forward to working with. Nobody can ever again doubt our captain's drive, ability or willingness to knuckle down when the going is tough and we need him most.

Gray didn't have a terrible season, he never had a great one over all performance wise either, but I think the tactics of Alan Stubbs had a lot to do with this. I'm surprised him and Lewis had any energy left to give such solid performances in the cup final, they were both used to breaking point and in Lewis case he had 0 cover at all.

How will his 3 game Euro pundit job be affected.

Formation - interested to see what he will have us playing.

Youth players - Stubbs rarely gave youth a chance - will Lennon.
