El Sackio 2.0

[ehf]

While I would never actually want Hibs to lose a match, especially a derby, the departure of the clueless clown Johnson will sweeten the bitter pill of the inevitable capitulation against the yams next Saturday.

[MelbourneHibees]

We win next week. As bad as we are Hearts are even worse. And we are at Home.

[Ozyhibby]

He should be gone before then. We are a joke of a club if he makes it to next weekend.

Hearts could put out 11 maroon traffic cones and we wouldn't beat them. We aren't winning next week. 0-3.

You seriously can’t believe that. When was the last time we went into a derby thinking we are gonna beat them ? We are gutless, clueless and have a team like the manager ******g hopeless.

[JamesHFC]

Fail to get into the top 6 of the split and he has to go. That’s an awful result today. Lose next week and it’s going to be extremely difficult for him to win back the support.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

He should be gone already, unacceptable

[Wheat Hound]

15 defeats in 31 league games, out of both cups at the first stage, no wins out of 3 Vs bottom of the league and no derby wins. That is sackable.

[SaulGoodman]

We win next week. As bad as we are Hearts are even worse. And we are at Home.

We’ll get ****ged from every angle.

It will be just our luck that we'll win next week and be stuck with Johnson ball next season as well.

Of course no one wants to lose a derby, or any game, but Aberdeen fans will be secretly delighted with that 6-0 defeat in retrospect.

As bad as Maloney.

Should never have got the job but won't be going anywhere. Next season will be a carbon copy.

Best we can hope for is a new manager next summer.

[Tambo]

I'm sure the commentary said today that we have lost at least once to every team in the league this season.

Not sure if that has happened much as I don't have any stats for it.

Yeah, but I get in trouble for saying that 'cause it upsets some folks.

[Hibees1973]

Today was another disjointed, disorganised performance by Johnson's team.

We won't win next week.

Some of our players can't do even the simple things such as track back and remain disciplined in defence.

When you sign players from lower levels with little experience this is what you get.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Maloney was sacked too early imo and no doubt I’ll get a hard time for saying that. Yes results were poor but if you’re keeping LJ on for this long with the team displaying absolutely no pride or passion, with better players? ****ing bizarre way of running a football club

Can't believe Jeggo stayed on the pitch today. Haven't been Newell's biggest fan this season, but worryingly he's comfortably our best midfielder and wasn't the issue today.

As the thread title says, this should be El Sackio 2.0

We have followed up an absolutely rank performance at home to Motherwell with a defeat against a team who haven't managed a win in 11 games before today according to Ian Crocker.

Win and we set up a derby where we could have overtaken an out of sorts Hearts by beating them next Saturday .... Instead we lose and now face a situation where a defeat could well see us finish out of the top 6. We have binned a chance to get one over them by winning a derby to handing them the opportunity to make it very likely we will finish out of the top 6 ..... a situation they will revel in now, its just the chance they need to get their fans back onside.

There isn't a universe anywhere where that's acceptable, and if anybody thinks we are going to beat Hearts next Saturday playing like this I want some of whatever they have been smoking.

If we lose next Saturday I wan't to know what in a football sense justifies Johnson keeping his job .... pumped out of one cup because he treated it as a pre season run about, pumped out of another 0 -3 at home by the one club you least want that to happen against and now absolutely blowing what should have been a very good shot at 3rd to the extent that there's just as good a chance we might not even make top 6.

If a record like that makes a manager worth keeping I would hate to see what failure looks like ..... in short ... beat Hearts next Saturday or **** off and take Kensell with you !!!

I agree about the players also being culpable but buck stops with the manager. He's brought in about 20 players all in, been well backed.

LJ dropped Miller after a good game to put in Cadden who had a shocker. Cadden kept his place after that woeful showing v Well and has had another poor showing. LJ has his favourites that play regardless.

Porteous was leaving all window and Rocky gets injured. A centre back was absolute priority - failed to bring one in and relying on Hanlon not getting injured. Then signing Devlin who clearly is never going to be fit for any sustained period of time

Kukharevych doing well before injury losing out to Hoppe who hasn't shown much of anything.

If Marshall was injured today we play the Derby with an 18 year old making his debut and a 17 yr old youth on the bench?

Failure all over place. Rectuitment, team selection, tactics

The incoming inevitable derby defeat to a shockingly poor Hearts side will be 5 in a row and make bottom 6 a real probability.

LJ with a worse record than Heckingbottom, Ross and Maloney. He should have been shown the door before now

We rant on here because there’s no other outlet as the club doesn’t brook any dissenting voices. It’s all spin and no substance from them. A bit like that slaver of a manager.

That can start next season, first things first get this ****in sorted out, anything less than 5th should be a sackable offence for any hibs manager, it’s embarrassing and unacceptable

100% agree but anyone starting a thread saying our inevitable capitulation against Hearts would be sweetened by the manager getting sacked, in my book, means they want to lose to them so as far as I'm concerned they should cancel their season ticket and get one for Tynecastle instead.

Worse than Maloney, at least Maloney had an excuse. It wasn’t his team and he wasn’t backed anywhere near as well as LJ.

Yes he's been backed though not well as the club have admitted . The last time we had a decent team was under Alan Stubbs after he left Lennon came in and after a bright start we deteriorated pretty fast( as Celtic did too ) and been on the decline ever since !

It was Maloney's first job as manager and he was thrown to the wolves. Sold Boyle without a replacement and wasn't backed in the slightest.

LJ has gone on about managing over 300 games etc.

Nah, sorry. If LJ hasn’t been well backed then Maloney wasn’t at all. Mitchell started well, JDH was a Ross signing as far as I’m aware? Maloney was stuck with a January window and then got the bullet after being a wee bit unlucky against hertz at Hampden (players shat it and lost their heads). He’d be well within his rights to feel hard done by, if LJ does get the bullet it’s on him.

After the frustration of yesterday, this of course is where I’m at.

It does appear the nickname Streaky Lee is well merited though. The manager needs to address why that is over the summer provided he can turn it around in the next two games as I (without any inside knowledge) believe after the last bad “streak” he was probably told it’s top 6 or out.

If that’s the case the pressure is really on him now.

Top post NAE NOOKIE.

Choking away (even more) points to a bottom of the league Dundee Utd is bad enough. Missing the opportunity to build momentum heading into the derby is really poor and has likely sapped what little confidence remained in the squad.

I don't see the justification for Johnson staying and would be happy to see him gome before the derby.

Kensell may have brought in more money but his blabbering strikes me as unprofessional and appointments on his watch have been awful. He can go as well.

The idea that Maloney was backed better or even similar than LJ has been is laughable.

One of them had Boyle sold after a promising start, the other one had Boyle signed for him. One of them has signed numerous players who will have attracted decent wages while the other was left with god awful budget signings like Jasper, Henderson, Mitchell and James Scott. One of them was left relying on Kevin Dabrowski, left with probably the worst starting line up I’ve ever seen at Hibs since relegation for a semi final at Hampden against Hearts.

Lee Johnson has been an utter disaster all things considered and has done a significantly worse job than Maloney did. And that’s saying something.

[I'm Spartacus]

I wonder if Aberdeen will keep Robson? If they don't then we are joining Aberdeen and Hearts in the market when there's doesn't seem much out there, the only man neither would touch is Lennon.

Lennon’s bright start lasted about 27 months. The deterioration (in results) happened in the last 3 months of his time with Hibs (Oct 18- Jan 19)

Don't think he is worse than Maloney btw , if Maloney had a excuse for the team not being his , has LJ not got one too in who signed Henderson, Mitchell , JDH and more ? Yes he's been backed though not well as the club have admitted . The last time we had a decent team was under Alan Stubbs after he left Lennon came in and after a bright start we deteriorated pretty fast( as Celtic did too ) and been on the decline ever since !

His points total is almost identical in terms of PPG, he’s been much more heavily backed than Maloney and also had a summer and a winter transfer window. Maloney also took us to Hampden.

By near enough every measure he’s either worse or no better than Maloney and he’s inexplicably still being given time to show us that.

You seem to be fond of a joke though very few are actually funny. From your first one in having a go at me about pasting which was downright nasty though the return of a manager ( lennon )that dragged this club down in the first place is quite a improvement though maybe you should keep them for a poster that actually wants to here them !

Crikey.

Sorry.

If this was a good Hibs team firing on all cylinders I'd still expect them to beat us. In all likelihood, Hearts will win and there will be no way back for the manager with many fans.

27 months of having a good team that was built by a previous manager and it declined badly under his management , in them final 3 months we were awful , he then threw a tantrum and got himself more or less dismissed( which I wonder did he want as he landed back at parkhead pretty quickly) . At Celtic he spent over £30 million quid in signing duds like ' barkas , Ajeti and many more and failed miserably in 10 in a row . Celtic couldn't get him out the door quick enough and yet some on here want him back to rebuild Hibs . Absolutely mental.

there should absolutely be no way back if he loses 3 out of the 4 derbies (fortuitously drawing the other one).

If he’s at Hibs to purely manage the players at his disposal and leaves the recruitment to the apparent incoming DOF then I’d be for it

[Hibernian Verse]

Given our season is finished the remaining carrot for us is to beat hearts and dent their hopes of finishing 3rd. Will it happen? Probably not

On what planet is our season finished? If we beat Hearts as you suggest we're right back in the mix for fourth which will get us matches in Europe. Don't know about anyone else but I would love to dust my passport down for another trip abroad with the club and fans.

Failing that, I hear we're going to Spain for pre-season :greengrin

I don’t want him back but to write off the good parts of his tenure as simply ‘he inherited a good team’ is revisionism. In Jan 2018, when things were looking a little shaky, his signings revitalised the team. I know all about his flaws, and I have no interest in his time at Celtic. He deserves credit for the good times at Hibs and he deserves criticism for the bad but I tell you what, compared to a lot of the rubbish we’ve seen in the 4 years since then his time looks like halcyon days

[Gloucester Hibs]

Maloney got poor players signed in his window , so did LJ in his first transfer window , JDH was a Ross player, seems to be a pattern here of poor recruitment under 3 different managers , I also think doidge was a Hecky signing btw who wasn't as good as when he first came to Hibs , Mitchell was a s**** signing . LJ has still got players poorly recruited by previous manager's and on long contracts . LJ has also been unlucky and can also feel hard done by if he gets the bullet too imo

But if he signs some players before he gets bulleted then the next guy will have the same ready made excuse as his predecessors 😃 Jeezo… at some point there has to be some accountability.

If he's at Hibs to manage this current squad at his disposal it will be like his last 3 months ( awful ) , probably lose the plot and cause mayhem within the club again . I think if Johnson goes he would be a step backwards . I think the new people running our club will have heard of his behaviour before and he won't get a look in even if the job becomes available.

Totally agree GH it's a rinse and repeat scenario and accountability has to stop at the way the club's getting run imo.

Remember the last time Lee faced El Sackio, we won 6-0!

[hibee-boys]

Trust Hearts to spoil El Sackio 2.0, far less interesting when it’s just the one managers job on the line…….that’s just about every Hibs game these days😂

They only sacked him yesterday because they shat out of the double stakes El Sackio Derby. *****bags.

If he beats hearts 6-0 next weekend…. then ok we’ll give him to the rest of the season.

I wasn't trying to write off the good parts of his time at Hibs as there were some very good times under him as manager though unlike our previous and current manager he got the Hibs job at a very good time ( good team on a high after winning the cup , big club in a lower league expected to win it ) and all this sadly went wrong under him and his conduct wasn't good either. When any manager is getting talked about for the Hibs job I always take a interest in how they done at previous clubs and his last job were he spent £30 million quid with only one other club to beat and was a total failure which doesn't inspire confidence in me that he's the right man for Hibs if the job became available.

[DH1875]

Difference is; our club and a lot of our fans seem to see finishing 6th as acceptable. That lot see it for what it is , failure and a kite season. A draw and 6th place finish will see LJ in the job for the start of next season.
