Nor a word from Gordon or Kensell

[dp00]

Is it just me that would have expected some kinda message from either of these two ?

Given Kensell was happy to tell anyone listening on Thursday night that maloney would be gone if he never won at the weekend why have we not heard from either of them today

What a mess they have got us into

[Bostonhibby]

Maybe Kensell is sorting out his own exit terms?

I'm losing faith in how Ron Gordon is running the club. It's a real mess just now.

[Unseen work]

Is this Kensell rumour even true?

But in answer to your question, no.

I don’t expect an interview etc of them explaining themselves, tbh it would be a bit pointless as I think it’s clear why they’ve done it and that the message on the website is enough for now.

The people make the decisions now need to get their head down and figure out a lot in a short space of time in terms or

- New manager
- Transfer targets (already identified and other)
- Players leaving
- How we set up

Maloney said we’ve already spoke to players and identified them, so let’s say for example

Regan Charles Cook
Alan Forrest

Were players we were looking at on a pre contract along with the normal Hearts and Aberdeen competition. You imagine that’s 2 we’ve lost out on straight away. Then you’ve got

Jasper - Option to buy
Rocky - Option to buy
Clarke - Arsenal have the Option to recall

Would Jasper commit? Not sure Rocky would be offered a deal but same question to him. Will Arsenal think we’re a shambles and recall Clarke?

The players potentially leaving/rumoured/out of contract;

Scott
Allan
Wright
Doidge

etc, would they be in the new managers plans?

A lot to fix and quick. We need to get the new manager sorted asap, even if they don’t start till next season but so the work can’t start getting done.

Granted the SM experiment was wrong, but he ultimately delegated that decision to BK. Sometimes those type of decisions work (Mowbray/Stubbs) sometimes they don't.

Though I do admire the decisiveness of the club in recognising it isn't working which in turn aligns to their ambitions in not settling for anything less than cup finals/trophy's top 4 and EUROPE

Hibs fans have been screaming for decades for an owner with ambition to step in, well here he is...

It isn't going to be a smooth journey, but I'm all aboard the RG train to transform this club into his vision

RG wasn't shy in setting out his stall, he expects results and wants us to be one of the best clubs in the country.

If, as a manager, your given that opportunity and we end up bottom six with a real risk of being in the relegation playoffs instead then your going to get sacked.

I don't think he's done anything crazy just been more ruthless and decisive than previous owners/chairmen when things are clearly not to the standard he expects.

[Nicho87]

Where has the Kensell thing from Thursday came from?

[Unseen work]

What Kensell rumour ? Unseen

Quite a few folk are running with the rumour that there was a corporate event recently where Kensell was telling everyone Maloney was getting sacked if he didn’t beat Hearts.

Personally I don’t believe it.

Kensell May have got the appointment wrong but it sounds like he’s doing a lot of good behind the scenes and seems far too professional to do that.

Ron made a statement on the official site.
Yup. Finishing up with there will be no further comment at this time. What more do folks want. The doors barely shut.

Love this - definitely want ambition and not accepting poor standards.

Fans pay a lot of money to watch Hibs so deserve better / more success / entertainment.

Maloney was way out of his depth at Hibs. Too big a job too soon for him. Not entirely his fault and it doesn’t help with the Owner, CEO and HoR (Owner’s Son) all being new to their respective roles too. They all need to have a good look at their own contribution to the shambles we are in.

As per the Club communication, they have given themselves plenty of time to get the next appointment right. If they do get it right then we look forward with optimism.

Just because Ron’s made a statement won’t stop posters on here saying we’ve heard nothing from him. His statement was on the BBC news report as well.

Too many Chiefs not enough brave / class ,players

Doidge isn’t out of contract

[JohnM1875]

Doidge isn’t out of contract

He was apparently told he's free to leave in the summer. Might obviously change now Maloney is gone.

It’s a Big IF though Not only do they need to get appointment right , but recruitment far better than last two windows and with less money coming into the club
At a time when Hearts will be awash with money and presumably will look to strengthen fir Europe
Timing of all this couldn’t be worse

Can we please hear from the “never accept mediocrity” camp for their take?

Agreed [emoji1417] Big IF but genuinely couldn’t see us progressing under Maloney. I’m sure he’ll have leant from the experience but he needs to cut his teeth at a place where he can be given time to not only implement his approach but also develop and grow as a fully fledged manager.

There's your answer OP.

Ron's passion for this club to succeed shone through in todays media.

Right behind him..!!

Correct , while I’ve only listened to the fans video and I was less than impressed although apprently his one with the press is much better so I’ll give that a listen soon

Regardless 10/10 for being willing to stand up and talk to everyone

Now just to find Ben ? [emoji848]

It would appear Ron feels the same way

Was a great watch for those who do feel we are perennial underachievers and have accepted 'Homely' Hibs; which he very accurately put it.

Agreed, but now we need action to back up the words. He's talked a good game from the get go. I have concerns about Ron Gordon's leadership thus far. Football is a learning curve for him, too, so we must factor that in. He deserves the chance to get things right.

Great post. Ambitious owner with a ruthless streak who realises we have underachieved throughout our history and is not shy about wanting to change that. Honest enough to admit his failings and quick enough to act to rectify them. Needs to get the next appointment right and I expect we'll see significant investment in the summer to support whoever comes in. I'm optimistic about the future of the club under RG.

Unlike Maloney! :wink:
