Interesting that she still perceives the summer transfer window as being successful and we just need a bit more depth.

Three poor successive windows and a lack of succession planning looks more like we need the best part of a squad rebuild.

As a minimum I would say:

Central defensive midfielder
Two strikers
Left back
Right back
Centre back

Recruitment was ok with only a few gaps, maybe Hecky wasn't to blame.

We need that deep sitting midfielder who can break up play and protect the defence, unless we get a.amage who works out three at the back will work with what we have!

And yes we need a striker.

We have Four right backs and no one to challenge Lewis. That needs rebalanced.

The centre of midfield is a mess.

It’s failure is piling pressure on other departments which under normal circumstances should be fine.

There’s not one signing that we made over the summer that I have written off as not being good enough (Vela’s been the biggest disappointment, I quite like Newell in spite of the fact he seems hot and cold).

My biggest fear with a new manager coming in is that he takes a while to suss out what Mallan can’t do. It’s cost the last 2 managers a lot of points and we need someone who is prepared to make difficult decisions there soon.

I disagreed with a lot she said about our recruitment, we spent a lot of our budget on players who will never be good enough to take Hibs into a side that will challenge for 3rd or 4th.

James nowhere near good enough and not as good as the man he's replaced. David Gray.

Jackson, an average player no better than Hanlon who's been poor most of the season.

Newell, just pish.

Vella, see Newell.

Naismith, a slow ponderous full back who's as average as you can get, and James it seems is keeping him out.

Middleton, average, done very little since signing, thank god Boyle is back.

Hallberg looks the best of the bunch, pass marks along with Maxwell.:thumbsup:

Doidge, a non scoring centre forward, we needed another one of them.:rolleyes:

The team needs more than luck and tweaks Leanne, but i'd not expect you to come out and say we were pish and had recruited pish.

Yes. How many of those players would we feel we would absolutely not want to lose from ER for next season? Hallberg maybe? The rest are completely dispensable.

I think these two are slightly unfair.

He's not as good as SDG, but I think he's only replace him because SDG hasn't been fit. I also don't think he's nowhere near good enough. He's not good enough, agreed, but I don't think he's absolutely Honking.

R.e. Jackson, I actually quite like him. The games I've seen him play (admittedly not too many) I think he's been the better CB and I'd rather have him and Porto as a pairing than any other fit combination at the moment.

For me James looks slow and overall bang average. Jackson i think looks fine without been a genuine upgrade.

James did fine against Celtic at Easter Road then had an absolute nightmare at Hampden. I'm not generally a fan of fullbacks who think defending is about "jockeying", formative years spent watching Gordon Hunter and Willie Miller tackling has shaped my expectations.

Once again, he looked at his worst when he had Mallan playing in front of him.

Great shot though.

I'd be inclined to give Jackson a shot as the defensive midfielder. We need someone in there who can win the ball back, and I'd like Hallberg to have a bit of freedom to play higher up the park. Jackson's a decent passer and is comfortable on the ball for a big defender, there is a wee bit of the Matty Jack about him.

I think he’s likely to be one of a number of candidates being considered.

I’m sure we’ll speak to him and some others. I think he’ll get the job in the end but I doubt it’s as far down the line as many are saying now.

Good interview imo, seemed a lot like her old self.

Whilst the summer signings haven’t turned out to be great I like how she handled the question. I really think a couple of them will kick on once we get playing with more confidence and get a better balance about us plus 1 or 2 players added.

I see James taking a lot of stick lately but imo he’s a good player, technically he is very very good but needs to learn to press and get in the wingers face a lot quicker than giving him space to run at him. He’s still only 23 so has plenty time to learn and given this is his first season at this level I think he will learn a lot.

Hallberg and Maxwell seem good if not brilliant but again I think with Hallberg we can expect a lot more.

Inclined to agree with this. Sounds like we're not going to rush but if we feel someone is the right guy e.g. JR and he is keen, then negotiations could move swiftly, if the agent doesn't d*ck us around.

If the recruitment was fine, then PH would still be with us. Pound for pound, the worst summer window we've had in many years and anyone calling it any other way is either deluded or making stuff up.

Good interview.

She isn't going to come out and say both management and his players are *****, a bit of diplomacy being used here. It was noticeable that she acknowledged the supporters concerns and spoke of a results based industry and no matter how good a coach or person, results were his downfall.

Also she mentioned end of the month for a new manager and then said of course that may come quicker than that and she's open minded about who may get the job.

Totally agree with that assesment. If she does believe what she said, it doesn't fill me with confidence.

I think we've gone from no communication to too much meaningless chat. I blame all the folk moaning about lack of statements from the club, as they seem under pressure to be seen to be 'engaging' with the fans.

Yup, pretty much agree with that. Clearly she can't come out and say that the recruitment has been poor, but I hope she genuinely doesn't believe it has been good. If she does we're in trouble because there's every chance they'll make the same mistakes again.

I know what you mean, but neutral doesnt really exist in football, or football fans repertoire of words to describe players.

Most player assessment is "what a player" or "total pish" - given those polar opposites, she has to take the more positive one.

I really don’t know why people read so much into these sort of statements.

Both this interview and the Hibs TV ones are months too late. They are reactionary propaganda because it got to a point where somebody had to front up and say something. The club’s been in free fall for almost a year now and nobody’s wanted to show face to answer any difficult questions.

A carefully worded interview with the clubs own TV channel where they controlled the narrative and even had a pop at “some quarters” for daring to suggest the new owner was invisible doesn’t cut it.

Dempster finally fronting up to the media and trotting out the same old cliches about standing behind the players yadda yadda.

The recruitments been a disaster. Bad signings and not a big enough squad. Not helped by the fact we failed to secure a shirt sponsor and have a deficit in the accounts that, despite what the club came out and said, has to impact somewhere.

She did admit we may need to “add a few” in January. We all knew we had to add a few in August. Why didn’t we???

There's a guy called Bartley at Livingston whose playing well regularly in a side above us so if we've got any of our recently increased revenue left maybe we can afford to sign him?

Less Gerald Ratner more Comical Ali / Bagdad Bob (for those old enough to remember).:greengrin


Well there’s a risk of that.

A bit worried that we are going through the same process as before to choose the next manager. It didn’t work very well last time did it?

I never watch her TV conferences now. A load of guff.

I'm always surprised that anyone takes the press conferences seriously, regardless of which player/manager/executive is speaking.

These are simply opportunities for the club to spin a positive narrative and it is unrealistic to expect any genuine insight or public criticism of what is happening at the club.

The same people he did at Sunderland - Mathie and Dempster.

To be honest I’d be happy with the players he was looking at

Noticed he wasnt interested in any we signed in the summer, unsurprisingly

Spot on

If they were a bit sharper they may have been able to avoid said bus but alas I fear the worse for them.

25k per week for Doidge ,Vella ,Newall and Jackson . If that’s true ,we
Could have got Mulumbu, Effe and Hooper and still had change out of that .
Trying to think of a worse transfer window 🤔

Where has the info regarding wages for Doidge, Vella, Newall and Jackson come from?

It was cringeworthy that she felt the need to go straight for the vasectomy topic in the Eddie May press conference.

Aye, you could tell Eddie didn't exactly enjoy answering it. I know he's a bit of an awkward sort with the press (it's not for everyone, don't blame him at all), but her line of questioning is so bizzare and inflammatory.

Won't be surprised if she's not invited back at some point in the future.

Not really a shocking statement though as you have made it clear you have no time for those on the board

I don't, you are correct. It took them too long to make this decision.
