For me 5 wins out of 5 Monty keeps his job and told must do better and top 6 comfortably throughout entire season is minimum acceptable.
4 wins out of 5 with either 1 draw or a fighting defeat Monty keeps his job but is on notice that top 6 is non negotiable it is an absolute requirement.
Anything else Monty goes.

Hibs winning even 3 of those 5 never mind 5 is never going to happen.

Absolute no point playing the current crop like Newell, jair

Tried and tested

Play the likes of Whittaker, McIntyres, young goalie.

I dont think it matters as he will surely be gone tomorrow.

Not sure if Im alone but I genuinely couldn't care what happens between now and the end of the season results wise, which is the worst way to feel as a Hibs fan. I can't see myself going to anymore games as things stand, maybe I'll change my mind, dunno.

2 out of the last 3 years I feel we've not got full value for the season ticket. Ive already renewed but wonder how much that is starting to impact the undecided.

14-04-2024, 08:15 AM
Truthfully I don't really care now.

The thought of having to watch these same players under the same manager going through the motions for another 5 games is a depressing one. It's been bad enough watching them when we had something to play for.

What happens between now and seasons end really shouldn't have any bearing on the decision of what we do with the manager. We are either commited to him or not at this point and 5 dead rubbers shouldn't change that. Our record against the bottom 6 is so pitiful this season that using the next 5 as a gauge for such a major decision would be folly.

We've won 9 games all season, no way we're winning 5 out of 5. Even if we somehow did win 5, it's too late and all pressure is off. The board have surely😜 realised this was possibly coming and done some work at looking for a replacement. SDG till end of season. Move Monty on now imho.

Absolutely couldn’t care less.

However, if pushed, and whilst trying to remain realistic and not just set ludicrously high targets so that we fail them, I’d say we have to win every home game remaining for starters. Not sure how many that will be. And I’d say we have to beat Livi away (I presume that’s where we’ll play them anyway).

So either 3 or 4 wins out of 5 depending on how many home games we get.

Nothing.

Five wins means nothing. And just being in the top six shouldn’t be seen as acceptable at all. We need to be challenging for 3rd and win a cup in the next few years. Time this club showed some ambition.

As horrendous as this season has been we have earned the right to do as we please now because we are all but safe from any danger. That's not lavishing any praise on a team or manager who have won 9 games all season but it is a fact. Same as a team who have the league wrapped up with games to spare can play some youngsters and fringe players to qualify them for medals or whatever. Not fair on teams who still have something to play for but it is what it is.

If Ross County and St Johnstone don't like it then that is on them. They are responsible for the position they find themselves in. We owe them nothing.

We need to finish 7th to maximise the amount of money we can make.

But I don’t care one little bit about watching us.

None of this pissing about waiting until the summer to start fixing things. It’s clear the manager is done, get the change made and get the new manager in to get a proper look at them. None of this clean slate pish in the summer which might well end with another League Cup embarrassment.

There's a lot of emotion running high again. It's not that simple.

Cadden needs games and deserves games as part of his recovery. That's just one case. Players getting lower wages will not end well - losing appearance money en masse, possible win and goal bonuses etc. That'll win them round. Whatever we all feel and think wholesale changes ain't happening and a fair proportion of the squad will be here in July.

We need to start building for July now not chucking 5 games on an experiment borne from frustration...and any new potential manager will be watching on.

I am in the same camp as you as despite being a season ticket holder for 25 years my season is done. A really worrying state of affairs when apathy sets in amongst the diehards 😔 I have also renewed for next season, however without a significant upgrade in coaching team and playing squad I’m already resigned to more of the same. I firmly support a ‘root and branch’ review of footballing matters at Easter Road however fear certain egos won’t be too keen on that. Now is the time to leverage off the Black Knight partnership and ask them for help on how to run a sports team.

Bostonhibby

Don't really care, won't be making the long trek up for the rest of the season as I don't feel that connected to the current version of Hibs and yesterday just sums up our entire seasons effort and the type of offering we have on the pitch just now.

We probably have more directors than Dundee, St Mirren and Kilmarnock have players but they've managed to look more like a football club with an eye on what is happening on the pitch than we have.

Last part is big for me.

I'm sick of players being given 3rd, 4th and 5th chances. Clean slates is the biggest myth in football. Any incoming manager should already have done their research into the squad and watched numerous games to sus out who's good enough and who's not. I don't want to see the team line come out for our first group game and see the likes of Tavares, Campbell and Doyle Hayes on the team sheet.

Surely beating livi, so that's at least 1 win to look forward to!!

If Livi start the game against us the way they did at Tynecastle yesterday you can score that win off the list. No way would we come back and win the game if that was the case

14-04-2024, 08:36 AM
For those of us that are actually planning to go to the remaining games (I'll be at 4 of them), it would be nice if the team decided to make up for earlier let downs and give us some entertainment.

Regardless of where we finish in the league, the fans turn up hoping to watch their team actually win matches.

Win bonuses ! 🤑

Frankly I don’t give a **** if these players take home is impacted, that is fully on them , and a direct consequence of their piss poor performances all season.

Win them round? Are the players in the huff and needing to be won round?

It's not enticing anything. Like i said, emotions running high and conversations are maybe best for another time.

Many have lucrative contracts who can pick them up for as long as they run, whether on the bench or sent to Coventry. And we cant replace them until they do. So we either try to get the best from then or we write them off.

Players have all the power and that's why managers are in an embarrassing revolving door of dismissal. But if we think dropping them all for 5 games is going to improve things its not. And we can't get rid of them all.

Anyhow, I'm off to do something outdoors as there's mair to life than Hibs

14-04-2024, 08:49 AM

Don't care about results.

If we use the next few weeks to bring in a proper manager so that we're ready for the start of next season I'll be delighted.

The prospect of NM leaving is the most positive thing to happen this season.

It was grim starting with LJ, got worse losing our opening fixtures, then the real WTF moment came when we appointed NM.

From then it was a simply a countdown to when he get fired. We're almost there and can begin to dream of things improving.

Hope he doesn't. It would just be chucking them under the bus.

The only thing that’s of interest at Hibs over the next few months is what happens off the park as we reshape the squad with our presumably reduced budget.

Nothing is acceptable, the season is over with 5 dead rubber's to play out.

Some things should be done, 5 games for Murray Johnson. Any loan players that aren't being kept on/potentially kept on sent back, including Myziane, Marcondes and Triantis. Hopefully there is a chance to keep Myziane.

Despite having a season ticket and through habit have bought one for next season, the only acceptable thing that could happen is getting rid of the manager. Out of all the many years I’ve been going I’m struggling to remember a more boring time going to Easter Road and I won’t be back again this season.

As long as we don’t get dragged into the relegation zone, I have absolutely no interest in any of the games we have left. We have to completely reboot the football side ASAP and get the fans behind our next manager.

Basically 70 mins each game mirroring the opening 20 vs livi recently. Unlikely but that's my minimum requirements for NM staying

Bearing in mind the current score at County just making sure we don't end up in the play-offs is the priority.

And what if the appointment isn't one that the support would choose, and he has a poor start? Knives would be out then too

Look at the mess that has been Watford and Chelsea. Sacking managers at will, being replaced by guys with pedigree who go on to underperform. I'd say that Chelsea finishing 8th or wherever they end up is worse than us not making top 6. Should they sack him and start again??

Id suggest they see the error of past impatience and are now trying to rebuild with a clear out rumoured. Why would we continue to make similar mistakes in sacking so quickly?

As somebody pointed out yesterday, our last 4 games were Ross County away, Sevco away, St Johnstone home, Motherwell away. We didn't win any of them with a record of 0-2-2 so the chances of winning even 3 out of the remaining 5 games seems a bit remote.

Exactly, nonsensical.

B.H.F.C
14-04-2024, 10:46 PM
Exactly, nonsensical.

I don’t think it is, unless we wanted someone who is in a job that they’re unlikely to leave before the end of the season.

When McInnes went in to Aberdeen he took over for the last 5 league games, similar position to us in the bottom six. He didn’t need to take over then but he wanted to get a look at what he had with a view to getting ahead of things for the following season. He went on to win a trophy that season and get manager of the year.

The biggest blocker to us getting a new manager is that we don’t currently need one. And I don’t think we will yet. But if we did, I don’t think it would be nonsensical to get someone in for the remaining games, if it was possible, rather than waiting to let them discover things when next season is underway (which it will be very early thanks to our efforts this season).

Nope, NM needs to go now so that a new Manager can get some games under his belt before the transfer window. We can't afford to have another manager having to play half a season with someone else's players.


Are you really expecting us to appoint a new manager to start in the next 2 weeks to prepare for our next competitive games which will be LC qualifiers in mid July ?


Exactly, nonsensical.


I don’t think it is, unless we wanted someone who is in a job that they’re unlikely to leave before the end of the season.

When McInnes went in to Aberdeen he took over for the last 5 league games, similar position to us in the bottom six. He didn’t need to take over then but he wanted to get a look at what he had with a view to getting ahead of things for the following season. He went on to win a trophy that season and get manager of the year.

I would say if we are to get a new manager then ASAP this season is absolutely the most sensible time for them to start. This would allow them to get their feet under the desk, settle in, assess the squad and make preperations for ins and outs for next season. This is only of course if we have a preferred candidate who might be available right now - i e Alex Neil, Michael O Neil.

If we wanted someone like McInnes then of course it would have to wait until they finish their business this season.

Easter Road will be empty. Completely burst our season. We’ll probably draw 4 out of 5 and beat Livingston.

As long as we can avoid the play off spot then I’m not that bothered either way what happens. Largely meaningless kicks abouts.

Happy to park this season to one side early and just forget about it till the summer.

Yes, if we want to hit the ground running at the beginning of next season then a new manager needs to be appointed ASAP. Otherwise we start another season with a new manager experimenting with what he's inherited and having to wait until the next transfer window to strengthen how he sees fit. This season is a dud, we need to be preparing for next and that starts now.

Exactly. We need to stop reacting and start acting.

Not quite empty. I am going along to boo them.

I'd take that, but it's a bit fanciful, there's no chance of Hibs being undefeated in the last 5 games.

Doubt I’ll be at the games, only if I’ve nothing else on. Don’t think I could even bring myself to congratulate the team on a strong end to the season, damage is done for me this season, any uplift in performance is too little too late for me personally. Hopefully a ‘another’ re-build and blind optimism will improve my mood over the summer.

We are now limbo for the remaining fixtures. We can’t go down and we have nothing to play for. I would therefore just hope to see some entertaining fitba. Hibs have been a difficult watch this season; at this stage release the hand brake and tell the players to go and enjoy it. At least give us that.

Nothing. We messed up big time.

It isn’t just one of the worst seasons in recent memory is was also the most frustrating.

Now that we have the Black Knight resources we’ve ran out of excuses. Right now we can’t compete with the St Mirrens, Dundee’s and Kilmarnocks of this world. We’d currently need an English premiership resources to get near Hearts and Man City ones to pass the OF.

Thanks for cheering me up, Dashing Bob Nietzsche. A bit of Hibs nihilism to bring us all face to face with reality. What is the point of kicking a ball around in a meaningless universe? :greengrin

Don’t think anything Hibs can do between now and the end of the season that will make this season acceptable.
I can’t make either of the last two home games and for me the season is over.
Roll on season 24/25 and another fresh start. Things can only get better but attracting quality players to come play in league cup qualifying games, at places like Cowdenbeath, is a tough ask.

Agreed. I'll go to the home games for the day or & maybe an away game - I'll be content as long as we avoid relegation.

No confidence that we'll win any of the remaining games.

I think it's interesting that we've had some really hard done by moments over the last few months and this has never prompted a reaction of hunger/anger/upping the level of intensity.

It will now also be interesting to see if there's an attitude change v St J, another loss v Levein would be pretty gut wrenching.

Wonder how many of the players will bust a gut for a manager who has been told to shape up or ship out? They must be thinking he's a dead man walking.
