Lennon

[Delboy4]

Just heard form a source that Lennon could be away!?

Might be a pile of shight but very weird timing after Cummings away. Hopefully starting from a Jambo.

I'll do my homework and get back to you all 😡

[SRHibs]

I doubt it. But I'd be pretty disappointed if true. More so if it's budget related.

Sounds nonsense. Except that you're usually right with this sort of thing............

If it wasn't you saying it. I would say it's a pile of Barry White. That said I still doubt it highly.

[Captain Trips]

Well I predict 200 replies regardless by 14:00.

[Callum_62]

Dont know why but had a feeling he might leave before seasons start

Hope not

Gary Locke in?

Seemingly Gary Naismith from QOS

Maybe that is where the Gary Locke rumour is coming from, Naismith bringing in his pals?!?

[Bostonhibby]

Gary Locke in?
Normally I enjoy a good lock in but on this occasion I'll give it a miss.

No chance!

[1van Sprou7e]

I just don't see why he'd leave to be honest

[Captain Trips]

I think with the sale of JC just there I am sure this money will have been a hot topic between NL and LD so I can see that if NL did not like what was told then the timing could be right that he might call it. If time goes on then all is well but this JC is probably key in a few factors for the season ahead.

Purely speculative of course.

[SRHibs]

I just don't see why he'd leave to be honest

Frustrations with budget, being aired by proxy via Sutton and Hartson? Maybe he's been told JC's fee isn't being made available to him?

[easty]

Even if NL was to leave, we'd no replace him with Gary Naysmirh or Gary Locke, that's obviously a load of pish.

[Heisenberg]

Seemingly Gary Naismith from QOS

Nah there's no chance Naysmith would get the Hibs job. There are about 3 other managers who'd be ahead of him from the Scottish Championship alone. Couple of weird rumours surfaced in the last two days...both involving Gary Naysmith.

[Waxy]

Either way i hope this gets clarified asap.

[.Sean.]

If he's away, Stubbs please.

[Green Blood]

Club is under his skin now so doubt his relationship with board could be that bad that it would force him to leave. It is more likely to be his mental health that would force a change in current situation.

[The Captain....]

There were rumours last season he wasn't too happy at times with the transfer activity, but I presumed thats all they were. Lennon's comments re Cummings value to the club seem at odds to our actions in selling him to the first bidder this Summer (that we were aware of). He's certainly been uncharacteristically quiet the last few weeks but I presumed it was because he was on holiday or something.

Fingers crossed its silly season rumours wise and he's staying.

[Iain G]

Just heard form a source that Lennon could be away!?



It's Yoko's fault...

[Delboy4]

Just made a few phone calls and Gary Locke has been offered the U'20's job.

Nothing about Neil Lennon or Gary Naismith SO nothing to report guys. Just hold onto our hats at moment..!

Some Jambo rat must have opened up his mouth and spouted P..sh

Keep you in the loop if anything transpires

[pacoluna]

If he's away, Stubbs please.
move on

[bingo70]

If he's away, Stubbs please.

Not long ago I'd have agreed with you however I've quite liked the mentality Lennon has brought into the club.

I love Stubbs, probably more than I should, however i think he's perhaps a bit soft to be a first team manager.

[The Harp]

Rumour probably started by a mischief-making yam.
Having said that, if the board doesn't share NL's ambitions and aren't prepared to splash the cash, he won't hang around.
Hope there's nothing sinister going on.

[adhibs]

Hopefully nonsense, would be gutted to see Lenton leave.

[H18 SFR]

Gary Locke is a football dinosaur, £75 to Suzy's organisation if he gets appointed - never happening.

[danhibees1875]

Not long ago I'd have agreed with you however I've quite liked the mentality Lennon has brought into the club.

I love Stubbs, probably more than I should, however i think he's perhaps a bit soft to be a first team manager.

And he wins too many Scottish cups. :wink:

I can't see this rumour being true - opportunistic timing for someone to start it after we sold Cummings.

[Heisenberg]

I'd be raging if we gave Gary Locke a job. He's a brutal manager/coach. Ruins teams wherever he goes.

[Elephant Stone]

The only worry I'd have is that he would be keen to leave as soon as some pish like Rotherham showed some interest. Other than that I'd say that, with respect, anyone who doubts that Stubbs is good enough to manage Hibs should seek a head examination :greengrin

[we are hibs]

not overly fussed If Lennon is here or not.

I'd actually be pretty pissed off if Lennon left because of a moan about money. NL has been involved in Scottish football long enough to know that teams outside of they two, plus hearts in the "we're borrowing from ourself" years, don't splash the cash. He knows this plenty well enough.

[R'Albin]

The only worry I'd have is that he would be keen to leave as soon as some pish like Rotherham showed some interest. Other than that I'd say that, with respect, anyone who doubts that Stubbs is good enough to manage Hibs should seek a head examination :greengrin

I'd be happy enough with Stubbs coming back but I think that's maybe a bit extreme. We went on one of the worst runs I've ever seen as Hibs fan and he failed to get us promoted in two attempts - even finishing behind Falkirk one season. He certainly did a lot of good things for our club but it wasn't all perfect under him.

That said I can't see this rumour being true.

[easty]

I'll second that thought.

You mean you're making things up?

[Vini1875]

I hope this is rubbish. We need to move forward together. There is a lot of hope and optimism around ER at the moment and I am sure NL knew that JC would be going if an offer came in. The record STs mean we should have a budget that NL can work with and the money from JC. So there is only two issues that could create a problem 1. The board penny pinching, which I can't see we need a premier league squad and have the money or 2. NL has got an offer from England which he is thinking about, which I can't see since winning the championship is not exactly going to set the heather alight down south.

Smells like a JKB wet dream if you ask me.

[Captain Trips]

You mean you're making things up?

Aye whatever

[matty_f]

If he's away, Stubbs please.

100% agreed.

[Not In The Know]

100% agreed.


yep!

[SirDavidsNapper]

I think Lennon would have been fully aware that Cummings would be allowed to leave after promotion. It's probably that that made him stay last season. No place for unsettling rumours imo.

[Leith Green]

I'd be raging if we gave Gary Locke a job. He's a brutal manager/coach. Ruins teams wherever he goes.

Me too .. He is a thick Hearts ****

[Smartie]

Putting 2+2 together to get 5, it wouldn't entirely surprise me to see Lennon walk over funds for transfers.

His 2 transfer windows were pretty underwhelming and we struggled for goals at times before losing our 2 main strikers. If he's not being given a substantial sum (i.e. more than we can afford) to bring in the players he wants then I could imagine him getting pissed off, a bit like when JC got pissed off when we weren't shelling out millions on Steven Naismith.

The articles and comments from Hartson and Sutton seemed to be a fairly direct plea from Lennon for backing, at a level we can't really justify doing.

[keep the faith]

Would have thought that KT Would be a much better u20 manager appointment that Gary bloody Locke!!

[Smartie]

I'd be raging if we gave Gary Locke a job. He's a brutal manager/coach. Ruins teams wherever he goes.

Grant Murray was a Hertz dick and didn't exactly set the world on fire as a manager, yet by all accounts he is doing a very good job with our youngsters.

Gary Locke is one of a handful of people I couldn't see ever wanting to work for us, even if we made him an offer.

[Jim44]

Whether true or not, I'm sure it's not the type of rumour which would drag on for very long. I reckon they will announce it by this evening if true, and if not we can safely assume it's Tom Kite. :cb

[Ryan69]

People need to calm down.

Theres absolutely no way Gary Locke will ever be on payroll at ER!

[LancsHibs]

Can't see there being anything in this? Hope not, we will have deals in the pipeline at an advanced stage and with a change of manager would put these in doubt. We need stability going forward into this big season ahead for us! Lennon is a draw for players coming to us no doubt about it.

[Elephant Stone]

I'd be happy enough with Stubbs coming back but I think that's maybe a bit extreme. We went on one of the worst runs I've ever seen as Hibs fan and he failed to get us promoted in two attempts - even finishing behind Falkirk one season. He certainly did a lot of good things for our club but it wasn't all perfect under him.

That said I can't see this rumour being true.

It wasn't anything close to being a formality that we'd get promoted within the first two attempts given who else was in our league. And finishing joint second with Falkirk is easily forgivable given that we were win both cup finals that year and therefore played a ridiculous number of matches.

I don't think any Hibs manger in my lifetime did as good a job as Stubbs.

Stubbs won us the big one, and that makes him a legend.

That doesn't detract from the fact that, in the league, Stubbs failed at Hibs. It's a fact. Look who else was in our league. Look how many games we had to play. Excuses. Excuses.

[jacomo]

Heard he (Murray) might be promoted to the first team hence an opening for the u20's job.

Not excuses but FACT, tell me another manager who got us into 2 cup finals in the same season?. You seem to forget it was his first job in management and I happen to think he did a great job and would have easily got us promoted last season.

I think 99% of Hibs fans would welcome Stubbsy back with open arms.

[guthrie01]

Are people actually thinking we are lining up Gary Locke to replace Lennon :crazy: Would be worse than Butcher and Leeann will know this.

Would be dissapointed in Lennon leaving, considering he just got us up but maybe he can't cope with the budget we are giving him and it's best for the club that we both part ways

For me there is only one man who can come in and adapt to our players and budget and he is our Scottish cup winning manager.

Lennon knew the score when he took the job on and he's acknowledged the financial backing he's already received from the Board. If this rumour is true, then it's just as likely to be over personal issues than football matters.

But there again, I've absolutely no basis for saying that, it's just my opinion.

[Speedway]

Given how media friendly NL is and the fact that not a single media outlet is reporting a sniff of this; Truth level is estimated at zero.

[Big_Franck]

I hope this isn't true as i'd prefer the continuity that Lennon would give the squad. I was never a Lennon fan before he joined us and didn't want him as manager. He did a decent job last season though and I'd prefer he stayed and had a go at the Premierships. Having said that if he isn't happy with his budget I am sure there are loads of managers out there that would love the platform Hibs give a manager now.

I'd want Stubbs to come home in the case that Lennon goes.

[Speedway]

Is this where the fans reps tell us what the score is?

[Thecat23]

Just so we are clear here, Gary Locke isn't replacing Lennon in case people are getting confused. All that I heard was Hibs offered him a role with the young lads and he's thinking about it.

[Elephant Stone]

Stubbs won us the big one, and that makes him a legend.

That doesn't detract from the fact that, in the league, Stubbs failed at Hibs. It's a fact. Look who else was in our league. Look how many games we had to play. Excuses. Excuses.

Oh it's a fact, Ok. I was going to argue that but looks like you've concluded that one. :tee hee:

His first job in management...that's just another excuse.

I think he'd have got us promoted last season too, but he left. I don't see what your point is with that.

I'm not even saying I wouldn't take him back.

[easty]

Oh it's a fact, Ok. I was going to argue that but looks like you've concluded that one. :tee hee:

Isn't it a fact?

[Elephant Stone]

Laugh away Chuckles.

Isn't it a fact?

He took over us when we couldn't really have been in more of a state; and we had Hearts and Sevco in our league. I think most fair people would say that promotion was the aim but by no means the expectation. Stubbs knew exactly what he needed to do to rebuild the club, his signings were exceptional, his derby record was exceptional and I would say that, despite being in the Championship, I had one of the most enjoyable periods of my life supporting Hibs. I would not dream of using the word 'failure' when talking about this period. It was a successful rebuild.

[Super_JMcGinn]

Laugh away Chuckles.

Isn't it a fact?

It's a fact he took over some 11 players in his first season when Hearts and Rangers had solid squads, but you bang on with he was failure rhetoric if it makes you feel good.

[Hibeewilly]

I heard earlier that Lennon has asked for all of the Cummings money for players or else he is walking. Guy has been accurate before with his info but we'll just have to wait and see. He wants Boyce as priority as well

[Jonnyboy]

As usual, folk jumping all over speculation when no real facts re NL are known. Distressing in a way that folk are happy to jump on the 'board's not giving enough money' bandwagon. Maybe it's just me but I think we are too quick to jump on the theories of others.

[DarlingtonHibee]

To a point. Not all his signings were successful, never mind exceptional. He made mistakes in particular in his last January window and the period of form we had at that point was awful.

We lost too many league games and we finished below Falkirk so it wasn't just due to Hearts and Rangers being with us.

He did have a big rebuild job but to be fair to others at the club, he only had to part of that. Some previous managers would have loved to have been able to bring in a whole new team so there are two sides to the rebuild job.

He's a legend for the cup win, did okay in the league, the football could be enjoyable, but overall we weren't quite good enough. I think we've moved on in mentality and in being hard to beat.

Wouldn't be supportive of going back to him.

[Jim44]

True, he did sign Malonga.

We weren't quite good enough in the league, without a doubt caused by playing so many cup games. In the cups we were better than we have ever been in my lifetime. The one ex-manager I'd love to have back at the club some day is Stubbs.

[DarlingtonHibee]

You can think what you like but he/she is entitled to post what they have heard or think, is that not the purpose of a site such as this?

So let me get this right, what he is saying is that LD and NL have not agree what the budget is, and not agreed how much money will go towards the transfer budget. Sorry, very hard to believe.

[inglisavhibs]

I'd actually be pretty pissed off if Lennon left because of a moan about money. NL has been involved in Scottish football long enough to know that teams outside of they two, plus hearts in the "we're borrowing from ourself" years, don't splash the cash. He knows this plenty well enough.
If Lennon leaves it won,t be about money, more likely to be about health.

You over simplify things without seeing the bigger picture but your last sentence is mindblowing coming from a Hibs fan.

[Velma Dinkley]

I heard that Lennon is contracted to be Hibs manager for another year.

[easty]

It's a fact he took over some 11 players in his first season when Hearts and Rangers had solid squads, but you bang on with he was failure rhetoric if it makes you feel good.

I will bang on about it, but it doesn't make me feel anything, never mind good.

For arguments sake...a quick look online shows they signed Alexander, Ozturk, Gomis, Buaben, Pallardo, Sow, Eckersley, Keatings, Zeefiuk, Anderson, El Hassnaoui for that season, they'd just spent a season getting pumped and playing with bairns, so no quite a solid squad like you suggest.

[CraigHibee]

Probably started by some Yam who is trying to focus attention away from their begging bowl of a club

[bingo70]

So let me get this right, what he is saying is that LD and NL have not agree what the budget is, and not agreed how much money will go towards the transfer budget. Sorry, very hard to believe.

Without knowing how football clubs work I'm sure I read managers would say to the board I want players a,b and c. How much each deal will be worth won't necessarily be discussed.

I hope it's not true but I find it entirely possible that Lennon has given the club a list and if we're not securing them he's becoming frustrated, especially after we've just had a transfer windfall and record season ticket sales.

Was Lennon quoted anywhere after we sold Cummings? I don't think he was and considering how forthcoming he normally is with the media that could potentially point to things not being quite right behind the scenes.

[Elephant Stone]

Of course not every single signing was an exceptional player, no manager ever will do that. Taken as a whole, I would say that he did an exceptional job in who he signed for us.

Scott Allan
John McGinn
Dominique Malonga
David Gray
Liam Fontaine
Anthony Stokes
Marvin Bartley
Fraser Fyvie
Conrad Logan
Darren McGregor
Dylan McGeouch
Liam Henderson

And the other signings were fine: Keatings, Boyle, and others have been absolutely fine. Overall I think you are being incredibly harsh if you would disagree that Stubbs did an exceptional job in signing players.

As for the league, we did lose too many games but I can forgive him for that given the number of games that we had to play - owing to the fact that we made both cup finals in the same season (an exceptional achievement).

Would take him back in a heartbeat, the only issue I have is the fact that Rotherham was sufficiently attractive for him to leave last time.

[ian cruise]

So let me get this right, what he is saying is that LD and NL have not agree what the budget is, and not agreed how much money will go towards the transfer budget. Sorry, very hard to believe.

Plus he's already been given budget to sign Swanson and Ambrose who won't be on tiny wages, so find it hard to believe he's not being supported by the board.

[DarlingtonHibee]

As CEO she will be in constant contact with Neil. There will be a revenue budget set, he would have known how much of the transfer fee he would see before the deal was signed.

We were in a state, no doubt. So were Hearts and Rangers though.

Some of the football under Stubbs, especially in the big games, was brilliant. I've not forgot the less entertaining games though, of which there were plenty.

Stubbs is a legend. Obviously. Failed in the league though.

:agree: Leeann has said more than once that the Board does everything in its power to support the manager and give him the best possible transfer budget it can. I am also sure that Neil is well aware of the financial situation of the club and what we can actually afford to spend in fees, wages, etc. So I find it strange hat people are insinuating he is unhappy with that.

[MyJo]

I think the fact we have been able to sign efe Ambrose on a permanent two year deal and we are looking at players like whittaker, stokes, commons, Boyce, Stewart and moult shows we aren't skimping on the budget.

The only thing that might cause an issue is us selling JC and Possibly McGinn against lennon's wishes.

If he does walk away I would absolutely welcome Stubbs back, he didn't win us the championship but his record against premiership teams and in cup competitions in general with us was great

[we are hibs]

To a point. Not all his signings were successful, never mind exceptional. He made mistakes in particular in his last January window and the period of form we had at that point was awful.

We lost too many league games and we finished below Falkirk so it wasn't just due to Hearts and Rangers being with us.

He did have a big rebuild job but to be fair to others at the club, he only had to part of that. Some previous managers would have loved to have been able to bring in a whole new team so there are two sides to the rebuild job.

He's a legend for the cup win, did okay in the league, the football could be enjoyable, but overall we weren't quite good enough. I think we've moved on in mentality and in being hard to beat.

Wouldn't be supportive of going back to him.


Stubbs came in and said he wanted to deliver a team the hibs fans would go to easter road,enjoy watching and be proud of. he did that. The football may not have been as free flowing in his second season but his first season we played some of the best stuff since under Mowbray. No doubt that we should've beaten that pish poor rangers side in the play offs but over the course of that season; considering what he inherited, he done a good job. His second season we simply ran out of legs imo. We should've finished 2nd so a poor league campaign, a terrible play off campaign, a good league cup run where we were simply unlucky on the day. we luckily found a second wind in time for the cup final but it was a poor season that ended up being another good season thanks to his decision making in the final and getting his tactics spot on. so overall he done a good job. I think he'd relish being in charge of hibs in the top flight with teams coming out to attack us rather than sitting back. If Lennon goes I think we should 100% go for stubbs.

[Elephant Stone]

You seem to be missing all the players that weren't fine though?

Jesus Christ mate you will argue about anything eh? Every manager in the history of football will sign a couple of poor players. Stubbs took a few gambles with players on loan and very low paid contracts which didn't come to fruition. Over all, as a whole, I think he did an exceptional job in signing players for us and I am pretty baffled as to why someone would dispute that.

[Vault Boy]

My many sources are telling me this too. :greengrin

[Brightside]

Gary Locke is a football dinosaur, £75 to Suzy's organisation if he gets appointed - never happening.

Eddie may has offered him an academy role.

[Smartie]

Stubbs had a cracking record in the transfer market.

Yes, he made a few poor acquisitions but his good signings were so good, it made me wonder what the hell we we were playing at for 10 years before that.

He had the best transfer market record of any Hibs manager imo.

[RIP Bestie]

You over simplify things without seeing the bigger picture but your last sentence is mindblowing coming from a Hibs fan.

Why mindblowing?
Take away the cup win and I don't think too many Hibs supporters would have been overly concerned if he had resigned or been sacked when he left. Even fewer would be petitioning for his return now. As has been said, he failed with his primary objective.

[madhatter]

Anybody else get the feeling that we need some signings or at least tangible signing rumours?

You said his signings were exceptional. Some were, some were alright, some were terrible. Overall picture was pretty good but not exceptional. He made errros in that last window that mean he can't claim that at all.

There were more than a couple that didn't work out at all.

[Ozyhibby]

What hibs managers have a better record in the transfer window than Stubbs? Genuinely struggling to think of anyone that can top him

[RossScott1991]

I'd be worried if this was true in regards of the budget part of it. The romantic in me though tells me if this happened and it meant return of stubbsy I'd be delighted ! Legend who signed more good players than bad.

I think lennon will be offski after this season regardless.

Grant Murray was a Hertz dick and didn't exactly set the world on fire as a manager, yet by all accounts he is doing a very good job with our youngsters.

Gary Locke is one of a handful of people I couldn't see ever wanting to work for us, even if we made him an offer.Murray done an excellent job with Raith.

Lennon would have to be pretty stupid if he thought he was going to get bags of money to play with. We're not Celtic. We will be shopping in the same market as Aberdeen and Hearts. He will have known this. To put it in perspective, Aberdeen just sold their best player for 1.3m.

100% Correct Jonnyboy 🤔 Chill Guy's !!

[Deansy]

Given how media friendly NL is and the fact that not a single media outlet is reporting a sniff of this; Truth level is estimated at zero.

Yup - scoured Google and not one solitary mention !. It's either close-season boredom or Yam wishful thinking !

[worcesterhibby]

The only thing that might cause an issue is us selling JC and Possibly McGinn against lennon's wishes.



The thing is, we already persuaded Jason to stay for an extra season and Lennon knows as well as anyone that it is counter productive to try to stop players moving if they want away and will earn 3 times as much elsewhere.

[Jones28]

If assurances hadn't been made with regards to budget then do you really think Lennon would have signed in the first place?

No he wouldn't, nothing to see here.

[Andy74]

What hibs managers have a better record in the transfer window than Stubbs? Genuinely struggling to think of anyone that can top him

Hard to tell really when his teams haven't played in the top league or weren't with us long enough.

McGinn and McGregor are particular highlights, probably Bartley as well. Gray and Stokes for their cup exploits.

Mowbray and McLeish would be in with a shout of having records equally as good if not better. Let's see what Lennon does this year - he's had success with Ambrose and Commons who played key roles for us. I'm sure Swanson will turn out to be excellent. Holt needs to be credited if we are counting some of the players on Stubbs' list that were good.

Stubbs signed a lot of players, as I've said, some were indeed exceptional - overall record is very good. It is a longer list of ones that didn't work though than some remember. An argument can be made for all of them as to why they were brought in but then again every signing is pretty much the same in that respect.

My post wasn't in reaction to the OP. It's those that followed with unfounded speculation that he was leaving because the board wouldn't back him. That led to a flurry of posts in agreement. There is no factual information to base that on but it's being spoken about as though it were fact.

[ian cruise]

I think the fact we have been able to sign efe Ambrose on a permanent two year deal and we are looking at players like whittaker, stokes, commons, Boyce, Stewart and moult shows we aren't skimping on the budget.

The only thing that might cause an issue is us selling JC and Possibly McGinn against lennon's wishes.

If he does walk away I would absolutely welcome Stubbs back, he didn't win us the championship but his record against premiership teams and in cup competitions in general with us was great

I'm don't disagree with what you're saying, however I'd be fairly upset if his reason for leaving was JC and SJM being sold. I think the majority of the support accepted they would be gone at some point in the near future at least a season ago. Due to the good management of the club when they do we're getting the best return possible to continue bringing more quality in to the club.

NEIL LENNON RUMOURS:

Today Fans News has received multiple messages regarding rumours of Neil Lennon leaving Hibs.

A source close to Neil has confirmed to us that after a brief conversation with Neil while on his holidays in Portugal this is pure fabrication. Normally rumours like this are shrugged off but with the return to the premier league only weeks away we've been asked to deny the rumours.

All these negative rumours do nothing but hurt the amazing feel good factor of the club at the moment. We've never had this feeling in a long long time and for someone to try tear away that good feeling is ridiculous and simply malicious.

Now more than ever is the time to get behind Neil and the club 100%!!

We understand people are disappointed and anxious about the sale of Jason Cummings but have a little faith in Lennon and the board.

We honestly thought we had past all this. 😕

Delighted this isn't true. While Stubbs is a legend for winning the cup, Lennon has moved the club on and is clearly stretching our ambition. Hopefully, the board can start to get a few more of his signing targets over the line and the new season will start to take shape.

Sort of knew the story was false as soon as the first posts of 'He'll be leaving because he's not getting any of the fee received for JC' appeared - that was the Hibs/Petrie of old while the stadium was being re-built and paid for. Now it's all done I fully believe that RP's pledge - 'Once the redevelopement of this stadium is complete, then all available monies will be invested into the first-team squad to ensure we have a team that matches the stadium' will be fulfilled !

After all, what else are Hibs going to do with all the money that's pouring into ER just now - record ST sales, huge attendance increases, NO MAJOR DEBT etc - bank it and save it for 'a rainy day' ?. No, we're at the start of a new era for Hibs - a positive, vibrant squad with the promise of even more talent arriving AND we've got Leeann leading the way !!. We're not some p*ss-poor, shoddily-run, amateur wee outfit, scrimping and scraping to build a 3rd-rate stadium - constantly emptying our fans pockets because our access to 'Other People's Money' is no more and charities won't leave their collection-boxes overnight with us any more !.

Lennon's ambitious and theirs nothing wrong wi that, if he's going to get Hibs to 2nd place we need to spend the JC cash. I trust Lennon to fight his corner, RP won't get away wi his usual ****!Aye, Rodders wont get away with investing in the future of the club by clearing debt and building a stadium. Evil ******* that he is.

He took over us when we couldn't really have been in more of a state; and we had Hearts and Sevco in our league. I think most fair people would say that promotion was the aim but by no means the expectation. Stubbs knew exactly what he needed to do to rebuild the club, his signings were exceptional, his derby record was exceptional and I would say that, despite being in the Championship, I had one of the most enjoyable periods of my life supporting Hibs. I would not dream of using the word 'failure' when talking about this period. It was a successful rebuild.
Well said.
