Stokes / Lennon Bust Up

[Billy Whizz]

He's a good player but it doesn't entitle him to just do what he wants does it? Lennon is the boss and if Stokes (or anybody else) wants to play that game there will only be one winner.

Exactly. I’m hoping Daz plays tomorrow, it’s not below him to want to play

[Sir David Gray]

Exactly. I’m hoping Daz plays tomorrow, it’s not below him to want to play

The circumstances are a wee bit different though.

McGregor's just coming back from 3 months out injured and playing in this game would be seen as being a crucial part of his recovery and match sharpness.

If Stokes is told to play in it, if he has fallen out with Lennon last week, then it would be seen as some sort of punishment.

I'm not saying he shouldn't play in it by the way and if Lennon asks him to play in the development team, he should agree to play even if he doesn't want to.

[Galahibby]

Is there any evidence otherwise???There's been some CCTV leaked from East Mains. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171127/2aa099853ddd5e159e491f31b1d66245.gif

We both know stokes attitude in general mate Daz would play for our 16s woman's team and wear the strip. Stokes already thinks he's to good in general and probably is so sticking him in the 21s and having Oli stealing the show isn't going to work.

[Onceinawhile]

Rumours tonight that after a fall out whilst drinking, stokes is back in the squad.

Unfortunately it's Ben stokes and the England cricket squad.

No chance Lennon would play Stokes in a development game and risk injury - that would be crazy given how thin our squad is. Stokesy will have shrugged off the virus and will be in the squad for Firhill

[JimBHibees]

I mean to get him scoring again, get his confidence up. He’s only played a game and a half in the whole of November

If he needs games then that would be the ideal game for him to play.

[Velma Dinkley]

Is this still an unsubstantiated rumour or is it a known fact now?

[eastmainsmsh]

apparently lennon said a little less conversation a little more action

OK - BEFORE YOU START POSTING ON THIS FORUM LEARN TO SPELL! IT'S 'ARGUMENT', NOT ARGUEMENT!!!!

And that's the problem with him, yes? At odds with the world and himself.

[Smartie]

The funny thing about Stokes is that Celtic got the best football out of him. They had him fitter, leaner and playing at a higher level that any other club did.

Celtic won't have tolerated prima donna behaviour, they won't have accepted extravagances or double standards, so I suspect that when Stokes was most prepared to be bossed about and he actually toed the line then he'll have seen the greatest rewards and benefits. Maybe he fell out of favour under Deila when bad habits returned?

Stokes needs to be careful - Celtic to Championship Blackburn to Hibs is a downward trajectory whichever way you look at it. He can either continue that downward trajectory or he can shape up and get going in the right direction again.

He strikes me as a bit of a maverick and a difficult character to manage. If Lennon is demanding very high standard of the players in training, demanding extra levels of dedication then it puts him in a difficult position if he is tolerating anything less from Stokes, especially if he puts in weak performances on a Saturday (as he generally did against St Johnstone).

If Stokes is our main man, scoring bucketloads and playing brilliantly then Lennon might be perfectly entitled to accept different to the rest of the players from Stokes through the week.

But if he isn't......

And what's just as important is do the rest of the squad accept it (or as someone said they 'tolerate' it).
If either one - NL or the team - don't, then I'm afraid it has to be ta-ta time.

I suspect Lennon/Craig and LD are now looking carefully at the situation and possibly looking t bringing in someone in January in case Stokes situation hasn't been resolved, by all accounts big Dave might be on his way out in January too, so 2 strikers may be on the cards.

This isn't the first episode like this regarding Stokes, he's done it at every club he's been at, Yogi turned a blind eye to his shenanigans in his first spell here as long as he was doing it on the park, the problem I see with him is where does he go from here?

I'm not trying to being funny but, he could close the circle and end up back at Falkirk.

[Broken Gnome]

Tough one. We do seem a happy home for wayward heroes that don't quite hit the peaks they should, and end up back here needing to play and be appreciated again.

Bound to be some that would have thought this sort of story was inevitable with Stokes. You'd wager this stuff would be overlooked in the past by a weaker management, and while you don't want him to get away with whatever he likes, you don't want Lennon to burn bridges and show zero tolerance when it could still work out...

I'm not sure what clubs would come in for him if he left Hibs under a cloud, but I can't imagine it would be many better ones. If it turns out that isn't where his heads at, then he's do well to remember it.

Firstly, this is unconfirmed, however I'm hearing the two have had a massive bust up behind the scenes. According to what I've heard (and I for one hope it's not true), Stokes won't pull on a Hibs jersey again whilst Lennon is in charge. No doubt see what comes out (if anything!) in the next few days.

Great scoop on this one Robbie. Your inbox must be full of apologies for the fuds calling you a Jambo.

Except the bit about not pulling on a jersey again for Hubs as long as Lennon is in charge as he is back in contention for place in the squad
Clearly there is time for Stokes to rule himself out by continuing to be late for training etc
But i expect things to be patched up this time round

Five or six high profile games to put him in the shop window then TC. Hope he screws the nut and gets his performance levels up, especially in the next batch of fixtures. We’ll need him I think.

Cant see any club paying a transfer fee for Stokes to be honest. If Lennon does want rid then I cant see how it would happen unless Stokes was happy to forego his contract.

I’m the same, I love Stokesy and I still feel he has so much to offer. But he can’t keep taking sick days and coming in late it’s not on. So unless he sorts his himself out he’ll be gone sooner rather than later I’m hearing!

That’s the million dollar question, he could be very hard to punt and Hibs might have to cut some loses on him. Hope he comes good though because the talent the boy has is clear to see. Huge games coming up so let’s hope he thinks I’ll probe everyone wrong and bang them if Lennon plays him.

What a lot of scaremongering pish!

Is there an ounce of known truth in any of this??? Nope didn’t think so!!

The club have moved on leaps and bounds recently and I for one trust them to tell us of events such as this.

Unless there are any facts, let’s trust the club and management team. 🇳🇬

So now that it’s been put out there by news reporters is that good enough for you??

Or is it all still “pish.”

Definitely need him and hope he screws the nut and shows how good he is. Got to be said thought he was really sharp v Dundee which made his performance that much more disappointing in the Saints game (he wasnt the only one in that match to be fair).

Thankfully we have a very good manager who’ll hopefully know how to handle it. One thing he wouldn’t do is slaughter him in the public eye. Behind closed doors though he didn’t hold back on him. Stokes must know this is his last chance to prove himself. Great finisher and bags of talent, hope when he plays he shows everyone exactly what he can do!

I've never seen the Stokes lack of effort thing. I don't think he lacked effort in the St Johnstone game - he just played pish. He looked lost trying to play a role that was uncomfortable for him and his touch looked off. It was a role that shouldn't have been beyond him, but it just didn't work out.

I don't see Stokes in training, that is where any lack of effort may be evident, and tbh may have contributed to him not playing as well as he should against St J.

I'd rather give Stokes praise and criticism for what I see with my own eyes, and I've never seen him less than committed.

Seriously... Give the guy credit where it’s due. Some people hate and I mean hate that some posters hear things from players/coaches or whoever. I’m sure he will post something good in fact loads of posters have posted many positive things this season.

If something has happened good or bad some folk like to hear it. If not I’d suggest these folk don’t bother with reading the threads. Few on here looking a bit foolish with comments towards the OP and a few others.

[WhileTheChief..]

"It was an isolated incident. I was not going to tolerate it and he understands that. He is back in and has been training very well this week."

"He is fit and raring to go. He has accepted he was in the wrong and he is getting on with it now."

"It's not a major issue. It's not going to affect the group long term and I think you will see a very motivated Anthony Stokes for the next few weeks."

Sounds like it's been dealt with and he's back

Nothing to see here, move along people

Exactly.

This story grew arms and legs and now we’ve got folk wanting him punted in January. Crazy talk.

I’m happy to take Lennon’s word on this.

Sorry wrong post

[Sir David Gray]

I actually admire Lennon for being strong enough to drop someone who many will view as our biggest goal threat and most talented player.

A weaker manager may have been willing to overlook any indiscretions from someone like Stokes as they wouldn't want to play without him.

At least now Stokes knows that he won't get away with any more indiscipline and it's up to him if he's willing to risk being dropped again and potentially being suspended by the club.

It also sends a clear message to the rest of the squad that if this can happen to Anthony Stokes, it can happen to anyone at the club.

Well done Lennon and I just hope Stokes responds in the right way.

Time will tell.

I can see your point about new posters being overly criticised but my point is that this was potentially the biggest story to come out of Easter Road this season and it was broken by someone with 20 odd posts, i wouldn't expect anything other than a mixed reception.
I know it was obviously discussed on PM board and if the first posters breaking the story had the history of Scoopy or the Cat then it would have played out differently but the reason they kept it there was probably the trouble it could have potentially caused to a weak manager so again people are wondering at the motive. Thankfully Lennon is not weak and has handled it in a way that may actually get more out of the squad, time will tell and hopefully will be the case.
If the OP is a genuine ITK lad then we'll see some good stories he'll no doubt get praise for posting. I am totally NITK, don't know players, agents or managers, although I do know a good fish delivery driver, so cannot provide good or bad news i'm afraid.

It's a major tough one because regardless of what his attitude I can't see past Stokes because of Cummings doon the line and him answering my prayers in the final when he went on a one man crusade to win us all the cup. Thank Sauzee I'm not in charge.

Sounds to me like Stokes is testing his boundaries and seeing what he can get away with given his status at the club.

Hopefully being dismissed from training and dropped from the squad is enough to make him realise Lennon won't accept too much nonsense from him despite being one of our star players and he takes the hint to cut the crap and knuckle down.

He could easily play well for another 4 or 5 seasons at this level but if he continues on the way he has been then he will find himself struggling to get a decent club & wage for whats left of his career.

I think we all knew and accepted Stokes came with baggage. I think he's done okay so far however this episode effectively ends the honeymoon period and hopefully we see, as Lennon has stated, a highly motivated Stokes in the coming weeks. I wonder if that means if he doesn't knuckle down in December then he's out, with whatever he's done being enough for us to terminate his contract without compensation.

Anyway, still love the guy and hope he doesn't let down the fans who feel the same.

Agreed. He is, on his day, a fantastic asset and would not be at Hibs if his mindset was consistently what it needs to be. He's clearly guy who by and large lives life on his own terms, and I think John McGinn's comment that he 'changes his phone number like the weather' sums up the sort of bloke he is.

While you do wonder how well he gels with the rest of the squad, nine goals in 13 starts is still very decent going and if he can get his head right under Lennon he could prove priceless to the team over the next few weeks.

[Thecat23]

Lennon was after Rooney in the summer. No doubt about it.

Yeah you are correct, Moult was his No.1 target though. We had another striker on our radar from down south never got a name maybe someone on here knows it?

problem for Stokes is, he is at a club where the fans love him and he fits in well, although he is a good goalscorer, if he can´t settle at Hibs then where will he settle, he can try putting himself in the shop window but I really think he may have shot himself in the foot if he wants away.

A player who hangs about 6yd box and not much else would do very well at Hibs IMO, Stokes and Murray both good but we need that option of a Kris Boyd type does nowt for 80mins then scores.

Firstly, this is unconfirmed, however I'm hearing the two have had a massive bust up behind the scenes. According to what I've heard (and I for one hope it's not true), Stokes won't pull on a Hibs jersey again whilst Lennon is in charge. No doubt see what comes out (if anything!) in the next few days.

The guy Roberts posts a rumour he's heard.


So..the rumours are true. STV’s Paul Barnes just confirmed it on Twitter with comments from Lennon to follow later today.

Stokes back in contention for the squad vs Thistle.

It turns out to be incorrect.

Will forever be grateful to Stokes for his heroics on 21.05.16 but he can't live off that. If he's being disruptive then Lennon is right to clamp down on it.

Stokes has been known to have a bit of an ego and a bit of an attitude. I'm just glad we have a manager like Lennon who will absolutely not tolerate that sort of thing.

Hopefully whatever happened is done, dusted and not repeated.
