Stokes / Lennon Bust Up

[Roberts1875]

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.

Lennon always out on the lash and stokes not happy about it.

[Libby Hibby]

Yeah, I heard Lennons media commitments on international week really got under stokes’s skin

[Del Boy]

At game today there was talk he’d been dropped for breach of discipline but think suggestions that he’s played his last game for hibs may be a bit of a stretch.

Two fiery characters but close pals so sure it can be resolved if there has indeed been a fallout.

Stokes is a terrific player, when he is fit and ready he can outplay any striker in this league. Shame he is trapped behind some issues which prevent him from being able to focus on his football. Hope this is not true and he really is just sick from a virus. We need him for the Derbys and the OF home games.

Nothing wrong with posting what you hear. For the record you’re story is bang on it seems.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

If its true then we will replace him.....i don't expect him to be here at the end of his current 2 year contract anyway

[Hedlund12]

Not surprised to hear either. Apparently AS was out on the lash a fee weeks and (again apparently!) ended up in bother and had a black eye. Subsequently, he was out out the squad.. official line was "Virus!" I'm sure I read a tweet saying something along the lines "if true Hibs won't tolerate it??"

His form has still been good so if we have to get rid then there are plenty clubs who will take him.
We already needed 1 good striker in Jan anyway so if it turns out that he is leaving then we need another. Quite a task for the recruitment team.

Just because someone can’t give proof on something right away doesn’t mean it’s pish. If I seen a fight in the street and told my mate and he didn’t believe it doesn’t mean I never seen it.

Stokes didn’t get the black eye from being out on the lash or being in bother from drink. It was genuinely accidental. However, the guy continues to accumulate off field problems. It was always going to be a risk - and sadly the gamble is looking less and less likely to pay off.

He did get the black eye when on the lash but it wasn't his fault by all accounts, problem is he's still going out on the lash all too often putting himself in these situations.

I think suspicions are always raised when someone posts a rumour that’s potentially damaging to Hibs. I mean, why post stuff like this even if it turns out to be true?

[FitbaFolkKen]

Giving him a hard time as he sometimes looks a bit lazy is slightly different to stating he has been fighting with the manager. I think he looks lazy at times but he is a great footballer. I also think we look a better team without him sometimes, probably makes me a fantasist too.

[ekhibee]

Maybe there should have been a poll to find out who thinks a/ that there's been a fallout, or b/ it's a load of pish. To be fair, the OP wasn't making a statement as such, he was just passing on what he heard, and I don't think he was trying to s###stir either. Personally I think it is indeed pish, but unlike some others on here, I don't claim to be 'in the know.'

Hopefully whatever the situation it resolves itself - big season for Stokes given his age and there won't be too many more big contracts in his career. Great player but I know he gives some staff at the club headaches at times with his immaturity. Needs to be careful and not bite the hand that feeds him.

I always see a wee positive from player / manager fall outs and that is it gives hungry players like Shaw and opportunity if he gets it and takes it :aok: Good thing about these kinds of incidents (at present) are the strong characters we have in the squad and the unity present. With players like McGregor, SDG, Fontaine, Bartley, Whittaker, etc. there is no danger this will manifest. That's why this isn't concerning me at all (to be honest).

If this is true what a total bellend Stokesy has been. To treat someone in Lennon, who has done so much for his career, like this is a dick move.

There's no denying the boys talent, I just wish he could get the head down and prove all his doubters wrong as opposed to giving them ammunition.

I really, really hope this isn't true though.

I'm normally not one that holds much stock in rumours however it seems there are some long time posters on here giving it credence and if they turn out to be accurate then I'd be very disappointed in Stokesy and not the only one I'd imagine. He's signed a contract to be a 'professional' football player and as such should in no way be participating in alleged unauthorised drunken nights out or any other indulgence that would effect his professionalism or performance on the park. I'm hoping like many others that this is indeed simply a false rumour that's grown wings. Its certain to be confirmed or not in the coming days and weeks ahead.

[Pete]

Time to chill. On the pitch, we’re fine without the legend that is Mr Stokes but let’s see what transpires over the next few weeks or months.

No need for the OTT stuff like labelling him a waster, a jakey or a bellend, especially when nobody knows the facts. They’re all big boys and if there’s a problem it will be sorted one way or the other.

[Thecat23]

This is where Lennons man management will be tested. Does he try and offer advice and go the under his wing route or does he say enough is enough if you want back in the team sort yourself out say sorry to me and the team.

I like Stokesy I rate him as well and defended him many times on here. But this time he needs to get a grip of himself and be the player he can be. If he’s got issues off the field I hope he can get advice or help that can get him back on track.

He may not need advice or help, I’m saying if he did as in how to act as a pro outside of the game. Stokes likes a night out and there is nothing wrong with that. It does become an issue when he’s been late or missed training through his social life.

That’s true. I once stayed off the drink in the mid 90s and I turned into a complete fantasist. Never again.

[CMac1988]

I usually take what I hear on here with a fair grain of salt but this is doing the rounds from a fair number of sources including a couple on here who rarely make unsubstantiated claims. Think a little perspective is needed and we all need to take a few and stop having a go at one another. Some of the comments directed at the op are a little over the top and whilst we still have no proof it's a little sad to see people going the whole hog.

I've no idea if there's anything in this story. However, given the resposes of a few reliable posters on the thread + applying some common sense, tells me there's probably been a bit of a fall out in training which has grown arms and legs. Before you know it Stokes won't play for Hibs again. Chinese whispers I suspect.

I'm normally not one that holds much stock in rumours however it seems there are some long time posters on here giving it credence and if they turn out to be accurate then I'd be very disappointed in Stokesy and not the only one I'd imagine. He's signed a contract to be a 'professional' football player and as such should in no way be participating in alleged unauthorised drunken nights out or any other indulgence that would effect his professionalism or performance on the park. I'm hoping like many others that this is indeed simply a false rumour that's grown wings. Its certain to be confirmed or not in the coming days and weeks ahead.

:agree: In the coming weeks it'll definitely either be confirmed or not confirmed. Don't ask me how I know this.

[Johnny_Leith]

I'd imagine it's not the sort of thing that will need reported, managers and players fall out all the time.

Doesn't help when some are trying, actually trying, to make it newspaper worthy. Fail to understand why someone would want to get this out into the public domain, we all know the weegie press will take any opportunity to twist events to sell stories.

That's all I'm doing, putting what I've heard out there, if that makes me a YAM, I struggle to understand your rationale!

I wouldn't worry about there really are some fannies on here that post ltyc as soon as they read something they don't agree with, Very strange behaviour.

[Vini1875]

Neil Lennon may well be a firey character and by all accounts Anthony Stokes can have a tear up as well, but look what happened when Duffy and Lennon had a go at each other. A little time passed they calmed and resolved it without too much effort.

If AS and NL had an argument I sure they can resolve it to the benefit of Hibs.

Stokes played the most significant part of all the players on 21st May 2016 with a performance that made him unplayable and without it we would be lining up 116 in a row.

He will always always ALWAYS be a Hibernian legend.

Let’s hope we can resolve this but if he leaves, his status will never be any different.

Got a text on Friday from a mate saying similar, apart from the bit about him not playing for Hibs again.

Its does seem to me they have had a bust up, but that does happen a lot in football clubs.

He does come with a lot of baggage, and Lennon will have to use all his man management skills with Stokes, but i'm sure he knew that when he signed him.

Going by what Lennon said yesterday about the virus, i'd assume he still wants to try with him, but what do i know? :greengrin

[wookie70]

I take it the itk posters all know it was all Stokes' fault. A bust up involves more than one person and handling a worker not working is a skill. As said it will be interesting to see how successful Lennon's man management skills are at resolving this. Bust up is not a term usually associated with good management in my view but difficult to know without the full facts.

I think with Stokes, we all know who's to blame here. Its not as if its a one off with him, or Lennon is the first manager he's fell out with, but i do take your point.

Absolutely agree ..... Look at Latapy, he let us down on the eve of a huge match where his inclusion could have made a real difference and yet the fans still love him because he was a brilliant wee player. Whatever happens Anthony Stokes status as a Hibs legend is untouchable because of what he did in the cup final and rightly so.

But if its true that he is causing a problem at East Mains ( I'm not saying he is, I have no idea ) then legend or not its a huge disappointment. I want to see Hibs continue to improve in the league, I want to see us regularly qualify for Europe and I don't want 21/05/16 to be the last time I see us win something, so if any player no matter what their status is disrupting our ability to do that then punt them ASAP and I don't care who that player is.

The days of this club carrying passengers, incompetents, prima donnas, lazy buggers and even players who are constantly injured, as we have done in the past, are over ...... That for me is the foundation upon which the new post relegation Hibs is built, we are no longer a soft touch either within the organization or for our opponents, it was a failure to recognise this was what was needed that got us into a 10 year slump after the 2007 league cup final ... I never want to see that happen again and as a result nobody is or should be immune from being punted for the good of Hibs, not even legends.

I wonder if 'virus' is code for 'didn't show up for training and is being punished'.

[bingo70]

That's very poor if true. No manager will tolerate that.

I’ve actually got proof that’s true.

Wouldn’t post it on here as it’s not fair (and I don’t know how to do it) but the players really shouldn’t leave the fines sheet out for all to see, and photograph, when tours of east mains are taking place.

On a side note, Martin Boyle is a dirty ******* and got a £20 fine for pissing in the shower. Hope my wife doesn’t get any ideas of implimenting that rule 😉

[NAE NOOKIE]

I know he’s been turning up late and missing days. Source is a first team player.

If that's true then he has to go, its that simple. Anthony Stokes is a fantastic player on his day, but he is also a player drinking at the last chance saloon and if he doesn't recognise that then he isn't the guy for us. His last gig was a club where the manager would have shot his granny and drowned a sack full of puppies for the goals that would have arrested their slide to relegation and yet he still wouldn't give Stokes a game because he didn't think he was mentally right to play. That was a warning sign Hibs ignored when they pushed the boat out to get him to join the club, it worried me at the time and its beginning to look like I was right to be.

Even without this rumour I've not been all that impressed with Stoke's overall contribution since he returned to the club, as I have said in many posts. I've been shot down for it by most folk, but I can only post what I think is the truth and if this rumour does turn out to be fact then its not going to do anything to change my opinion that on the evidence so far he just isn't going to be the player we hoped he was going to be.

Unfortunately we've seen this scenario with Stokes before...

Taken from the Herald Dec 2015

ANTHONY Stokes is capable of resurrecting his career for the third time despite falling out of favour at Celtic and being by suspended by the Parkhead club (http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/14118086.Anthony_Stokes_suspended_by_Celtic_for_a_ fortnight_after_Twitter_controversy_in_Inverness/) for a breach of discipline this week.
The 27-year-old, who took to Twitter on Sunday (http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/14111549.Deila_tells__quot_disrespectful_quot__Cel tic_striker_Stokes_to_do_his_talking_in_training/) to vent his frustration at being left out of the match day squad against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, has beenordered to stay away from training for a fortnight by the Scottish champions.

And the same at Blackburn last season

Troubled former Celtic (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) and Hibs (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/hibernian-fc) striker Anthony Stokes hasn't kicked a ball for months because of 'personal issues,' Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has revealed.The Ireland international became a Hibs hero after netting in last summer's Scottish Cup Final win over Rangers, which brought to an end their 114-year drought.He moved to Lancashire in the summer under former boss Owen Coyle and signed a three-year deal, but Coyle was sacked in February.Former Celtic boss Mowbray took over, but the 28-year-old hasn't had a look-in under him at Rovers and hasn't played a league game since December.

Funny I thought this as well. I think he likes playing but not the training that you have to do or all the other stuff that goes with it. Thing is Stokes for me isn’t lazy but he looks fed up a lot and he’s not reached the levels we all know he can.

Said this on the PM board but if it is to do with time keeping and attendance then this won’t come as any surprise to Lennon, he’ll know there’s no point in trying to manage him on every occasion it happens so will pick and choose when to make a big deal about it.

There’s a few massive games coming up and I wouldn’t be surprised if he picked last week as the right time to have it out with him, probably saw the Hamilton and next weeks game as winnable without him. Make up before the Rangers/Celtc and Aberdeen games and you’ve got a top class striker with a point to prove.

You could well be right Bingo but we have had a tight knit squad Stokes will i assume be one of the top earners he should be mature enough by now to be setting examples of the right kind to younger players
Lennon did indeed say he would manage Stokes to get the best out of him He took the chance on him and i hope Stokes re pays the Faith shown in him
But to be honest if there is anything in this we could do without it right now

I really rate Stokes as a player so I firstly hope there is less in this than has been suggested.

However if it is a situation that is and has been ongoing I would back whatever the club thought best, this could affect other players as we cannot back one player over and over and not another. There has got to be a point when enough is enough and NL will know exactly when that is.

I wouldn't expect Hibs to announce details of an argument which had taken place during a training session between a player and the manager.

If you speak to anyone who's involved in football, arguments and fights happen every single day at training. The club would be rather busy if they kept updating us on every disagreement that happens behind the scenes.

But you don't need to know about it. If Stokes has been involved in something with Lennon and sent away from the training ground that's a disaplinary issue. Until they've addressed that, they're hardly going to say anything about it are they?

[Firestarter]

**** sake it's not as if the club is going to announce a training ground issue between the player and our manager. In equal measure it's not as if they would keep it from us either, **** happens.

It seems the only people bitching about this are people looking to shoot down any suggestion of a fall out which happened.

If anything has happened, it's an internal disciplinary issue between employee and employer. There's no need for the club to make that public.

In fact there's possibly even a policy in place which forbids either the club or the employee from speaking about such matters until they have been resolved.

To be fair, ANY player not abiding the work code (on a regular basis) needs to be emptied. They cause disruption and unrest to the club and destroy team spirit. Just look what it's done to posters on this thread alone.

While I appreciate there's no hard evidence to support this alleged incident, people are only passing on what they are hearing. If they can't do that then really, what's the point of having a forum?

[GreenLake]

Stokesies been fired

[Thecat23]

Is there any evidence otherwise???

If you want clear cut evidence of training ground bust ups you don’t know how football works. Stokes was told to leave after an argument, I’m 100% certain Lennon will deal with it in what is in Hibs best interests.

I do think Stokes will play again, but I also think if he’s not sold in Jan he will be in the summer. Maybe you should pop down to EM and tell all the players they are lying about this bust up?

[andybev1]

Sure.

Cost you a tenner, though...:greengrin

mmmm? checks pocket........it's........ok. :na na:

[we are hibs]

Your posting absolute bull**** saying it's bill**** as you obviously know more to be so volatile, so prove it.

It happened, it's not bull****, if you think it is prove me wrong hotshot.


If if it was true it'd have made the media by now. I've seen this mentioned absolutely nowhere apart from here and it's been about 3 or 4 days since this alleged "bust up". He will be back in the squad on Saturday.

Hopefully he will be back in the squad for Saturday.

This doesn't mean it didn't happen though.

Bottom line is you and any other posters can believe what you want, it doesn't change the fact it happened though. :greengrin

[rodhibs55]

Bust ups happen on the training ground at every level. Whether its between players themselves or the manager/coaching staff and players, it happens. The air gets cleared and everybody gets on with life again. I am sure Lenny will have had many bust ups both as a player and a manager and Stokesy will also have had a few. Best just to leave them to let the air clear and the club will deal with anything that has happened internally. We all then move on. Stokesy is a quality player and we need him playing.

[eastcoasthibby]

If this is true what a total bellend Stokesy has been. To treat someone in Lennon, who has done so much for his career, like this is a dick move.

There's no denying the boys talent, I just wish he could get the head down and prove all his doubters wrong as opposed to giving them ammunition.

I really, really hope this isn't true though.


If Stokes was close delivering what everyone knows he is capable off on a pitch for even 50% the time he plays most of yhis thread wouldn't exist ! Its cos Stokes hasn't been near what we hoped for that people are getting wound up and on his case.
The comments about him being entitled to a personal lufe and being a professional footballer are both absolutely right, but the professional footballer bit should rule, because he has a responsibility to the club and the people who pau his wages to be professional and earn them ! If pepple see him out on the lash and he isnt looking up to it in games, not working, or whatever, I think its fair to put out that his personal life antics might be the reason.
Time will tell if " he stil lhas a virus next week" one thing for sure is we need him playing and playing well ...if he is at it he needs to sort himself out or move on as he is part of a team and over the next month are big games yhat suit his ability..when he decides to play !!!

[Nicho87]

Just one final question...

[Lago]

I wonder if what has been, in effect, a work place argument, is being turned into something more. Like most people I've had disagreements with colleagues & managers over the years, equally as a manager I've had those reporting to me disagree with some of my decision making. It happens you work it out, unless of course you banjo someone then it's good night Vienna. :greengrin

😂😂 yeah we are all in a clique. We also get traffic wardens to let us off with tickets it’s great, also we are allowed to use the bus lanes 4pm till 6pm. That’s how good the PM board is.

Don't tell him we are entitled to free pre match beer though. Oops...

If you think there's arguing going on I would suggest you try seperating internet football message board with real life Jonesey.

My spelling is usually pretty good but that is one of my repeat spelling mistakes - if I was trying to impress, I would be more careful. To pull someone up for it though? :grr: Now that I know you are watching I will try to be more careful, sorry!

~P.S in case you noticed, lets face it you probably would, I had to delete one of your wee angry men as you used the allotted 10 and I wanted to borrow one. :)


mmm? or were you giving me my argument (!)

Not sure Lennon will see that as way to motivate him

100% make things worse, stokes barely tried a leg v St J never mind chucking him into a development game

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

I would be highly surprised if NL played that card Billy.

I see your point but couldn't ever imagine stokes being arsed doing that

Sometimes people have to do things they don't like when their boss tells them to.

Stokes ever struck you as the type who lets people boss him about?

[B.H.F.C]

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.
