Glad you're not in the running to be manager.

Clear out.

We’ll be hearing about a transitional season next.

Just no. Need to move from this. Work needs doing to the squad but everyone should now be afforded an opportunity to prove themselves.

[James-6.2-3.2]

Slivka Kamberi was absolutely dug Shi again tonight and Mallan coming on didn’t even change a thing. Been like this for months. Yet Kamberi get criticised and his toys are out the pram and his locker empty. 🤔

Oh give it a rest FFS. We don't even have a manager at this point and he will decide who's going in the summer. You know - when the window re-opens?

[660]

The clear out started and ended with Lennon. Let a new manager come in and sort out the shambles he has left as his legacy.

In fairness to him, the half pint of lager shandy might have been a bit too much for him.

Might have been an idea to develop some kind of posting history before launching an emotive thread called clear out no?

Not making a case for keeping all the players you mention but I suspect Flo will come good and Mallan may well be an asset in the right team and set up to name but two.
I think it's a little harsh on Milligan too.

Kamberi from January to May last season.
Mallan in some early season games and as recently as a week and a half ago in the second half against St Mirren.
Milligan in his initial stint in central midfield.
Whittaker 2002-2007 at least

Just off the top of my head like.

[Diclonius]

A defeat at Parkhead and all the toys go out the pram. Yawn.

Aye because it’s all been going really well other than tonight!

[Hulk1875]

We’ve got some good players they proved that last season this season we can write off I think but get right manager in we’re all good

[beensaidbefore]

High time you were in your pyjamas and in bed methinks......

👍👍🤣

[The Modfather]

We should build the team around Bogdan/Marciano, Porteous, Allan, Boyle & Kamberi IMO.

There are of course other good/potentialy good players we have e.g. Stevenson, Hanlon, Mallan, Shaw etc, who I wouldn’t necessarily be in a rush to get rid of but are either approaching their twilight or are still too raw and inconsistent. The rest, meh, wouldn’t particularly miss them if they left.

[My_Wife_Camille]

I’d be keeping Marciano, Gray, Hanlon, Porteous, Stevenson, Allan, Boyle and Flo.

I wouldn’t miss anyone else, although even then there are some I’d get rid of quicker than others if I could.

I don’t agree with his post at all, and he may well be trolling for all I know. But why should there be a required post count before someone can open a thread of a certain title?

[Diclonius]

Since Lennon left we've comfortably beaten the bottom team, were comfortably beaten by the top team and had a narrow defeat against a team competing for second. Relax.

You forgetting about the 8 defeats totalling nine this season? What is it now? 2 wins in 16 or something?

Absolutely, but I think that's more to do with the previous manager than what the OP is suggesting.

There's no "requirements" at all.
Merely pointing out that without establishing anything about yourself beyond the OPs 8 or 9 posts then he's going to get humpty when people have a pop at him.

At the end of the day it's a forum and barring over the top posts and abuse folk can largely do what they want.
That doesn't mean that other people aren't allowed to comment on them doing stuff that makes the place a worse place to be.
A lot of people finding "OPRESSION!(tm)" where there is none.

Posting poorly written, reactionary stuff calling Hibs players "dug *****" in your first 8 or 9 posts is a dick move.
He's completely free to make that dick move and at no point have I stated that he should not be allowed to make that dick move.
Just suggesting to the OP that not making a dick move would be better for both him and everyone else on the forum but if he's hell bent on "No. It's dick move from me all the way!" then he can knock himself out.

[Hibeesmad]

Agree with the players to keep. Although I feel that a good bit of training and development on the likes of Mackie, Shaw and Mallan will see these players become an important part of our future

[lyonhibs]

Are you honestly asking when Kamberi, Mallan and Slivka last put in a performance for the club?

How long have you supported us, out of interest ? Longer than 10 days or less?

No way should he be binned. Mallan is a quality footballer in a poor side lets see how he gets on with the new manager and Scotty Allan alongside him. Mallan has been much better since Eddie may pushed him up the park a bit.

So good that he dropped him for Celtic?

[Seaquest]

The current problem is virtually nobody (possible excludes keepers) is performing up to the required standard. The form of the team is poor and ‘form’ is temporary. What we need is to play through this slump. Confidence will return with the right manager at the helm.

[GreenOnions]

I think the most important thing at the moment is to try to get more out of the players we have. We're certainly better in terms of ability than our league placing.

I think one of the main problems with the squad Neil Lennon has put together is imbalance. We lack quality players of a specific type in a couple of areas of the team. IMHO though we do have quite a number of players who I'd like to see stay with us under the new manager.

Out of contract and ageing players in the summer will also be important in deciding where to strengthen.

As far as I can tell Gray, McGregor, Nelom and Bartley are out of contract. Big Marv is popular with fans but will probably leave as will Nelom. Gray and McGregor have both been great players for us but I'm not sure their bodies can do what's required at this level much more. Most would love to see them remain at the club but probably not as first choice for their position.

Bogdan, Gauld, Bigirimana, Omeonga, Agyepong and McNulty have their loan spells ending. I'd definitely be keen to keep Bogdan. McNulty has also shown some promising signs IMO. Both have also indicated they might be receptive to a permanent move.

We also have Scott Allan coming in.

If we leave Gray, McGregor, Bogdan and McNulty out of things for now we would be left with a squad of:

Marciano
Whittaker, Mackie, Stevenson,
Hanlon, Porteous
Slivka, Milligan, Mallan, Horgan, Allan, Fraser Murray
Boyle
Kamberi, Shaw

When you look at that it's clear we'll need a goalie (Bogdan?), a first choice right back, a centre-back, central midfielder with some dig and drive, some more pace in wide areas, another striker. We probably need more than one player of some of these too.

Yip should be cleared. This guy has started 2 threads today with only 10 posts total. Both are exagerated negative rubbish. Does not merit a response, as the guy is obviously a troll. What is funny is that some actually agree with him. Makes you wonder.

[tamig]

Lets just wait and see what the new manager can do with who he has available. No point jumping to conclusions. Some players could thrive under a new boss and in a system that maximises their qualities. Pointless thread imo.

[sahpaton]

Think it's unfair for anyone to say they're happy to punt most of our players in the summer when there are still 3 months under a new manager for them to prove their worth. Totally irrelevant conversation to be having right after a window has closed and our next manager hasn't even walked in the door yet.

Absolutely.

[steakbake]

Sick of the call for clear outs and rebuilds. There is the nucleus of a very decent squad. This same team more or less took us to 4th and a nice Euro run. McGinn/McGeogh are hard to replace but Allan coming in and Gauld in the mix is an interesting starting point.

I’ll be bitterly disappointed if the club feels it has to clear the decks because fans can’t see that we’ve got some decent guys on the pitch.

Take away short term players sqauds light anyway.we know what the players at the club inform can do.you could say we need the graft to go with the football.alan stubbs used to go on about the right type of player.I think we need that now more than ever,obviously its no easy,my opinion is we need hungry young midfielders who want to prove a point,and can drive the team on.I think we lack that type.ive harped on about ambrose,but when youve seen a player like that in your team and they move on,its hard not too.same when big rob jones left.but we need something of eithers ability.obviously with porto we have a cracking player developing.but right now, and this will be extremely hard for whoever comes in,we need them to galvanise what we have,and maybe see some new ways of getting the best out of a team low on confidence and depleated by injuries.my opinion is the new guy will find it hard to have an initial impact.but me personally looking to nxt season I think we will be in a good place to move forward.but like it was in the summer recruitment will be essential.and hopefully better.

[ian cruise]

I'm not suggesting a total overhaul but something needs to change and fast, relegation form at present.

Something has changed, we've removed the manager who wasn't able to get a consistent performance out of a team of players who've shown in flashes they can play very good football.

Accepting that there’s 3 months to go this season, but we need to be realistic about what a new manager can achieve. He’s hardly going to suddenly give our ageing defence a turn of pace ?

We evolve every season, players will come and go. I did read on here that just by getting rid of Lennon things were going to be better anyway.

It’s the mounting injuries and slow recovery time between games that comes with age.

It’s hurting us. We can carry one or two players like this but we really need like 80-90% of our squad to be able to play twice a week.
