Ben Kensell ,Ron Gordon ,Ian Gordon.

[Steve Austin]

Where is Ben Kensell our CEO ?
In light of the current crisis and results and fan unrest where is our CEO?.owner and head of recruitment hiding under the parapet!?.
We are a shambles on the pitch and actually becoming a joke in Scotland at the moment,As a support who have endured years of malaise and yo yo positions in the league what are HIBS becoming?
Our Neighbours seem to recruit well and have a director of football etc ,we recruit punts ,players that might do it or a work in progress ?..We need steel,fight,aggression and flair .
We seem weak on the field and too many players who just can’t deal with playing in Spfl ?.
If anyone at HIBS reads this surely they can see we have messed up again re manager and recruiting.
Major player investment required for quality players or we will forever be also rans !!!!.
As a life long HIBS man I’m disgusted and disappointed in way things are :confused:

Time for Ben and Ron to front up and be honest re things ain’t working on the pitch are they off it is the question?Ben if you read this feel free to contact me or Ron ?

we are in free fall and bad decisions have been made on the football side

No. Especially when head of recruitment is only a meaningless title.

Even our manager came out and slated the running of the club. Surely that’s worth a tactful response of some sort.

The only thing that’s missing in confirming to me that Johnson will be sacked within the next week or two is the obligatory interview with the owner/CEO giving him their full backing.

…and that’s the bottom line

[Islington Hibs]

This constant chipping has to stop. A constant commentary every time things go off makes no sense and would only compound problems. No one is pleased with the results but really?

For what it’s worth I’m not convinced by Ben , thought losing Leanne was not good, but really Ron Gordon owns the club, unless we can find someone better a constant hounding of him makes zero sense.

He seems sincere to me, has done some things well, put his money we’re his mouth was bringing back Boyle and frankly he needs support not cheap criticism. Be careful what you wish for.

[SaulGoodman]

…and that’s the bottom line

Says who?

[Torto7]

I have zero problems with Kensell or the Gordons. They didnt pick Fish at right back or make the signings LJ has made bar maybe Tavares and Bojang although the slaver claimed hes been watching Tavares so who knows. Investment in Hibs is at an all time high Id guess and our commercial dept/off pitch revenue is light years ahead of the prev regime. Coco in the dug out and the losers on the pitch need to up their games or leave. Its as simple as that.

Probably yes. In footballing terms, he is an idiot. Fair enough, though. I should've been more clear about that.

Ben is RIGHTLY taking it tight, ok my pi55 take was in jest, but welcome to the world of a football fans forum.

Anything I say about Ben is the same I'd say if I saw him in the street. When it's going well he's out having photos taken with the kids like he's a player, as soon as the going gets tough he's Houdini.

When he joined us he wore fake tan, what the actual F?
Also a fact, when he joined us he understood that David Gray was an actual Sir (I mean he 100% is, but he believed this was his official title). One of the media guys, who now works at Spurs, said to him after they filmed an interview as he referred to him all the time as 'Sir David' and had done since the day he arrived and he was embarrassed.

18 months in and I am totally unconvinced, sorry if that upsets some.

Ron has to see things are not getting better this season at all?,He hired Lee ,so if this fails he has to admit maybe he needs revamp the football recruiting department totally,ie DOF appointed etc.
total player scouting and recruiting overhaul!.

"We the Board, acknowledge this difficult period for the club on the playing front and we are very much committed to our current management team and structure. We are in the process of taking action by pursuing the required quality on the playing front and hope to have some news with quality additions announced soon".

"We are all working together, united, and fully trusting the ability we all have in each other to delivering our remit in our clearly defined roles within the structure of the football club".

Aye it was nothing more, it was quite the laugh I was told. My only contact at the club has now gone :( (if anyone wants tickets for Spurs though)

I was told it was a case of "Haha..... hahaha he's done it again, ok he's done it again (that's been 2 weeks now), does anyone else notice.... yeah he does (that's been 3 weeks now and 4 media interviews, plus all the footage that was cut in recording, even to DG's face every time). These things are decent, next he'll be sent for tartan paint.

The guys recorded a video and in the questioning accidently said "Shart" instead of "start" but they couldn't go through it all again with Ben so they left it in. Media, it must be so difficult to constantly get it right, especially in the soccer game.

Aye right. The press would be calling that the dreaded vote of confidence in LJ. They can't win, with the press or indeed many on this site it would seem.

He’s apparently already being/been moved out of the recruitment side. There’s no chance he ever gets removed completely while Ron still owns the club.

Bang on. I genuinely think they’re shocked at the media scrutiny and fan scrutiny that comes with the job.

He’s either “Head of Recruitment” at a club that at the very least the fanbase expects to compete at the right end of the table, or he’s not the Head.

The recruitment has been absolutely dire, QED the Head of Recruitment takes the can, owner’s son or nae owner’s son.

[I'm Spartacus]

He’s apparently already being/been moved out of the recruitment side. There’s no chance he ever gets removed completely while Ron still owns the club.

The first part interests me. The second part worries me.
