The king is dead long live the king!

[BILLYHIBS]

I am a ST holder at Easter Road

On Saturday I moved my seat and found myself sitting in the West Centre Stand Just above the Directors Box.

I was mixing with a new set of HIBS fans,players,explayers and club officials

All around me there seemed to be a new buzz to the place a freshness an optimism an enthusiasm a hopefulness for the future everyone seemed to be smiling and all around me was positive energy

It was like a sense of relief that the old regime was over and that we were about to enter into a new adventure a run of games that hopefully will see us launch ourselves back into the top six and there was no way we were losing that days game versus Hamilton

It is a feeling I have not experienced at Easter Road for a good 3-4 months

Did anyone else pick up on this new found positive energy or did I just have too much Hibernian Ale?

Managers and players come and go but we the fans and Hibernian Football Club will always be here and that is all that truly matters

THE KING IS DEAD LONG LIVE THE KING!

[Carheenlea]

Bill Leckie from The Sun doesn’t agree. Certainly going by his stick-the-boot-into-Hibs article/match report now that “Lenny” has departed.
There was definitely a feeling of a new era and the natural curiosity that every managerial debut brings, but I wouldn’t say I felt a great buzz around the stadium as such. Certainly left with a spring in the step after an encouraging start.

[pacoluna]

No the atmosphere was flat. Not many people stayed to applaud the new "king" either.

I normally find Bill Leckie very good and impartial, not read the article yet but if he's going by the general mood on the forums and online he's probably right that there's not a wave of optimism engulfing the club. I think the hysteria of the last few weeks will take a few weeks to subside and I imagine there were a lot on Sat who were nervously hopefully rather than wildly optimistic.

Good win against an improved Hamilton has definitely helped post match and I think next week a few more will be taking their seat a lot more confident than they were before Hamilton.

I read that but was reluctant to post, as it would've just started the same fights all over again. Rotten article. Genuinely don't get this theory that the board for some reason are opposed to having an exciting successful side, to the point they'd actively sabotage the management without a single mitigating factor.

Leckie also doesn't quite factor in that Hearts/St Mirren/Livi/St Johnstone at home and Kilmarnock away under Lennon were hardly thrill a minute.

I actually thought the crowd was very subdued on Saturday. Wins and better performances will change that though and Saturday was a good start for PH albeit Hamilton didn't look a great side, apart from the wee guy Miller.

Bill Leckie is one of the better pundits IMO. The guys who have stuck the boot into Hibs in the media are more Lennon's old team mates or those of the Celtic persuasion; Sutton, Hartson and Provan to name a few. Other pundits including Michael Stewart have been very reasonable and actually his piece in Sunday's Sun about PH was bang on the money.

[BILLYHIBS]

Ha Ha!

Never touched the stuff tbh

I did feel leaving the ground with the expected improvement and new management bounce and better organisation and man management skills that PH seemed to bring to the table a lot more confident about the upcoming cup tie versus Celtic ( touch wood) :greengrin

Sorry but I just never sensed any of that at all. It was more a sense of recognition that ‘we are where we are, let’s get on with it’.

There most certainly wasn’t a buzz about the the new appointment, neither around me in the stadium or on the supporters bus.

Through various conversations the feeling seemed to be that nobody knew anything about the new guy, he came across well in interviews, he will be given a chance, every appointment is a gamble etc etc.

Heck will have to build a buzz for himself and hopefully he can do that through upcoming performances and results. He has as much chance as anyone I would guess.

[Frazerbob]

I overheard one guy after the match complaining that ‘not much different from a Lennon performance’. FFS the guy had been in the door 5 minutes and taken one training session lol.
As for the utter fannies at the back of section 43 trying to start ‘1 Neil Lennon’ as PH was being introduced to the crowd, just **** off!

Not sure what to make of this piece to be honest. At least Leckie normally has a genuine viewpoint.

Regardless of who was to blame (probably a bit of blame on all sides) Hibs once again are in a position where the manager leaves during or shortly after their first sustained dip in results.

I wanted Lenny to turn it around, and break this cycle, but it wasn’t to be. If PH can deliver the results and some swagger then all will be forgotten.

Lack of atmosphere
Never 16000 there and the board must be concerned re season ticket sales

I suppose everyone will have different experiences. Chat around us in the East was positive. Defo a lighter mood and a wee buzz.

Possibly a bit of relief as well that we've got a new manager in place and can move forward.

I found it to be a load of pish. Leckie looks back at the 6-0 win against Hamilton last time out, where the opposition put in an awful performance. We were good but were up against a team that was totally different to what we faced at the weekend. They were more organised at the back by a very long way, however with a couple of better decisions in attacking situations we still could’ve scored another two or three goals.

Leckie also fails to note or mention the absolutely dreadful performances we’d been putting in ever since that 6-0 Hamilton game. He goes on about 5k missing fans but we never used to sell out games against Hamilton under Lennon so I’m not sure why that would be different now.

All in all, another Lennon puff piece put out by his media chums.

Leckie also doesn't quite factor in that Hearts/St Mirren/Livi/St Johnstone at home and Kilmarnock away under Lennon were hardly thrill a minute.He also makes out like Hibs are the only club in the land who include non attending ST holders in the attendance. Utter fud just like the rest of the weedgie media and their pro Lennon campaign...it's getting boring now. He also fails to mention our slide down the table as being anything to do with Lennon?? No apparently it's all the boards fault

:agree:

Plucking the 6-0 result out of context is certainly misleading.

Something was clearly off behind the scenes this season. Our coaching team berating the players in public is not ‘ambition’ but a sign that all was not well.

I sit just next to the boys in question. I booed there first shout and got told after by the wee fat alky guy in question that he was going to “knock my head off”. This wee group are grade A ********s. Same crap every week from them seems to me like they only turn up tonto spew there utter drivel

I'm sure it was the same two idiots at the recent game at Parkhead.

[DetroitHibs]

I'm completely over the past month or so. Lennon no longer has anything to do with Hibs, and Paul is the new man to take us forward. I knew absolutely zilch about the man before he took over, but he's our gaffer and will have my backing.

[J-C]

Yes the crowd seemed subdued but it was mainly due to being curious as to what we were expecting from a new manager. It was obvious he's not had too long to work with them but the 1st thing I noticed was the team had a good solid shape in attack and more particularly in defence. We defended with 2 solid lines of 4 with the strikers chasing down from the front and it made us harder to break down. We've been vemoaingthe fact for long enough that we chopped and changed every week, with the players looking uncertain as to their jobs on the pitch, someone else posted that Heckers was constantly talking to players on the sidelines during breaks in play, onwards and upwards.

[Springbank]

I feel much the same as the OP

Lennon really lost me after the May 2018 Tynecastle game, where he picked a strange team (leaving McLaren & McGeough out), then he hung McGeough out to dry publicly ("Dylan's leaving"...when Dylan was still contemplating an offer from Hibs), then he went into his meltdown and into hiding for a few days, saying he might not hang around at ER. Gee thanks, your majesty...

When someone (especially the public face of the club) says they don't want to be there, you can't expect anything other than a dip from the players (in my opinion). That's why you never got Fergie or Wenger naming the date they'd leave, as the minute the boss ain't the long term boss, there's an impact on the park and it's not a good one.

So, I'm glad Lennon has ended what he began in Gorgie in May 2018 (ie his departure from Easter Road).
I wish him well.
But I wish Hibs better.

Here's to the new era, may it be better than the old era...

It was , along with a couple others. Weird Cos I’ve sat up there for 4 seasons now and first saw the guy that was causing issues at CP at the home Aberdeen game, I thought he was an Aberdeen fan.

Fergie did announce his retirement and the team stopped trying. He retracted it and form picked up. I am handing in my retirement notice on Wednesday with the minimum period of notice. Will be on here a lot more!

[Speedway]

1. When Hibs win consistently, crowds pick up, regardless of manager.

2. When there’s something to play for, crowds pick up, even if that something is bad. Fenlon versus the pars to avoid relegation post Calderwood for example.

3. We were playing badly and slipping down the table with a manager who by his own admission was mentally unwell at times.

4. We won on Saturday and played well.

Please can Hernit Crab show me where the problem is.

I watched the game on hibs tv and enjoyed it albeit it fizzled out towards the end after the game was won.

Exactly.
What the media want at all times is copy. Neil Lennon is copy on legs. So now he's gone the media are annoyed at Hibs in general. It'll pass once Heck puts his own stamp on things.
Hopefully, Lennon will get a job soon and then some other club's fans will have to put up with it all.
