One message or point you’d really like the club to hear going forward this summer.

[tonyrougier123]

I’ll start.
We really don’t have 3-4 years of waiting for players to catch up to what we need now in the first team. Please sign some seasoned professionals to give the side some spine and backbone.

[easty]

Sack the manager

[Since452]

Sack the manager

This.

[Unseen work]

Don’t want to hear anything.

Just go about our business quietly and sign starting players in the right positions.

1 x goalkeeper
2 x centre back
1 x Attacking midfielder
1 x striker

[Centre Hawf]

Lets not try and be overly smart with our business.

Yes a couple of younger laddies can work but it means nothing if we don't have a team with seasoned pros ready to get them up to speed and carry them in their down spells.

[Jones28]

Do the talking with the squad, the backroom staff and hopefully the boardroom.

IF they make a statement I want a plan with something tangible that we can measure as a fanbase.

[BILLYHIBS]

To continue the fight against racism ( sectarianism) and biased refereeing against us something we will no longer condone

[The Modfather]

Ask Bournemouth for help in how to run the football side of the business.

[Pretty Boy]

It doesn't have to take 3, 4 or 5 transfer windows to put a competitive team on the park.

[we are hibs]

I just want to see 95% of this squad gone.


I realise it may not be realistic to get rid of so many in one window but I'm genuinely sick of watching some of these players. I want a complete reset and fresh start. Not a half arsed attempt at one like we've had the previous two seasons. I'd also like to see a complete revamp of the recruitment side of the club. It needs freshening up there.

[Daydreamer]

To buy a no nonsense LEFT side central defender and a goalkeeper who can defend cross balls.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Make the team the number one priority and work on what we need now!

[matty_f]

Get help. We've got a group of clubs to lean on, and some very successful people to tap into.

Get help on setting up the club for success. Get help on recruitment (on and off the pitch). Leave the egos at the door, put the club first.

[flash]

Transfer the professionalism and dynamism of our commercial team into the football team.

[HIBS NUTS]

The club need to make a statement, if they are continuing to support Monty, and onTheir plans for the future.
We could set out a plan, for future investment in the team, and create a more positive vibe.
I actually think we have some decent players, and don’t get the complete clear out statements by fans.

Won't be overly popular but I agree, we have good players for our level in the squad. It is imbalanced and if we were to bring in 4 or 5 quality players, Goalkeeper, 2 centre backs and a left back we would be making a great start to correcting that

[GloryGlory]

:agree: And remember the first priority in SPFL games is to win the battle. The fancy football comes after that. So sign seasoned pros that have the necessary character, not just the necessary skill and talent, and are up for the battle.

Since we lose so many late, late goals I wonder if fitness, focus and concentration are where they need to be so those are key characteristics too.

[andrew70]

Work behind the scenes and get rid of the nonsense we have in our first team, give the manager far better tools to work with.

Am interesting note I was told last night. Several pre contracts already signed in terms of incomings and also outgoings.

Another reason why we possibly won’t sack Montgomery. Everyone knew it was a process not a sprint, the emotional nature of the Hibs support never fails to amaze me.

[Leitherhibs]

Invest heavily in the spine of the team.

We need a new GK, 2 CB's, CM and a ST. Spend the money on this.

Run with a smaller squad, make savings by having less volume on the books.

In short, quality over quantity.

Heaven forbid the support should be emotional and show displeasure at a very poor season.

I know a few folk will be hoping one of those is Josh Nisbet. We do desperately need a few good starting CMs

[MWHIBBIES]

Be ruthless. Get a strong side out and leather all of our league cup opposition. Start the season well.

Good signings in key areas sorted out early doors.

From what we've learnt of the coaching team over the past months, this looks like a sunk-cost fallacy. Monty should change his name to Lazarus if he were to achieve even a modicum of success.

Who told you/source..? 😉

[Basildon Hibs]

Get rid of 'manager' and all the dross that purports to be football players.

[Brizo]

Admitting that they've made serial recruitment mistakes and that they don't have the expertise to choose SPFL-ready managers, followed by a commitment to entrust that process to people with knowledge of Scottish football

[Alex Trager]

Invest in quality players for the spine who have proven themselves to be leaders and good players in this division, and who understand what it means to play for a club like Hibernian.

Keeper.
CH’s (Jason Kerr being one).
CM’s.
Striker.

Not sure why they wouldn't say if pre-contracts had been signed.

no names unfortunately it was a courteous short response.

me being one of them, very good player.

a club official.

not sure, out of respect to their current clubs maybe. Let their season’s end first.

[Smartie]

No good team anywhere, ever, got anywhere pissing away cheap goals.

2 reliable, experienced centre halves are an absolute must, new and improved GK might be nice. Current first choice full backs should do, and I'd be happy to see Megwa and McIntyre challenge them both for their positions and deputise where necessary.

We can play the exotic 19 year old loans players elsewhere in the team.

If we don't get an improved keeper we may as well not bother. Just as important as two starting CBs for me.

Absolutely agree. Don’t want to hear anything about experience not being important at centre half, we badly need it. If Hanlon was a year or two younger he’d have been perfect.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Top priority for me: sort the defence this summer.

[Hibs3-2]

Sign a goalkeeper (mccrorie or kelly?). Sign 2 CB’s (kerr and fish?). Sign 2 CMs (nisbet and 1 other). Sign a striker (Moalida despite my previous thread on him). Use vente properly. Sign ALF. Release stevenson hanlon tavares JDH marshall. Could add more to that list but marcondes fish triantis etc loans have ended along with the fact we cant just release the whole squad.

[McGruber]

[QUOTE

Fair enough. Good they are doing business early with league cup to contend with early doors.

[Northernhibee]

Stop trying to be the most clever person in the room and just sign players we know work in this league and immediately improve us.

[California-Hibs]

Rip the defense up and start again fresh.

[wookie70]

Have a substantial and medium to long term for recruitment and try to sign this window players that will fit that plan. I think I am fairly patient if I can see a plan. I was with Stubbs as you knew exactly what was trying to be achieved and that got results that endured even when Lennon threw the model out. Get back to that or similar and communicate it as clearly as Dempster did. Pin the tail on the Soccer manager approach doesn't work

[lyonhibs]

Ignore .net

This.

And sign a couple of ready 1st team centre backs for pity's sake. 😅

Outgoing:

Montgomery
Kendall
Ian Gordon

I don't know about the incomers.

[Hibs4185]

Sack Monty. Get a midfield, we’ve been missing one for 4-5 years.

Don’t give Newell a new contract.

Do the basics well, don’t go for the next guardiola from Austrialia or elsewhere. Just go for tried and tested in Scotland. Don’t try and be too smart

[thebausburst]

Announce McInnes, that’s it, all I’m interested in.

[Keith_M]

Get hot water in the Lavvies.

Anything else is secondary.

[Jones28]

[RIP]

Sign an SPFL DOF, manager and more home-based players that will fight for the jersey

[Frogga]

Keep it simple!

She wasn't perfect but Leanne got most things right:

- Get staff in the right positions who understand a) their role, b) the club and c) Scottish football. We've currently got a DOF who is a Chief Scout and a Chief Scout who doesn't have any significant background in scouting.
- Focus on solid signings, such as your Scott Allans or Dylan McGeouchs (back in the day). A wild, scattergun approach doesn't usually work in the transfer market. Focus on fewer, better quality signings, some of whom are more experienced and with a core of players who know the Scottish game. Signing 95% younger players means results will be erratic. Use our financial resources to beat Hearts and Aberdeen to the next Lewis Ferguson or (dare I say it) Lawrence Shankland.
- Remember the fans. Money is great and obviously helps the club but being so commercially-driven isolates fans and creates the kind of animosity between fans and the board that's damaged the club for so many years.
- Give managers time. If we keep sacking managers every 6 months then who is going to come and work for us? Stability is so important in football.

Btw this thread is a dream for Hibs and their comms guys should be all over this. Free feedback basically.

Save the heating bill for a Star Strikers wages! :-)

[Greensunshine]

Can we please try and get the spine of the team right. We’ve managed only half a spine and sometimes we’ve even managed to be spineless.

We also need two players competing for every single position.

Surely these things are a prerequisite for any football club and yet we’ve been miles off any of this.

[Forza Fred]

Can we please do our player shopping prior to the start of pre season training.

Every season we seem to hear excuses for poor early results as ‘Once the new players settle in the results will come’

Well3 points in the opening games are worth the same as 3 points as the games at the end of the season.

Get them in early….we know when the season starts so let’s make sure the team is ready for match 1….it’s what big professional clubs do!

Agree here btw.

This is massive.

I cannot see it though - we have a whole load of recruitment of staff to happen prior to players.

Unless they sensibly go for someone like McInnes for a few years whilst the rest is established.

[joebakerforever]

Recruit mainly from the Scottish Leagues instead of outsiders/temporary loan signings.

The Jambos have already got the likes of Danda & Spittal on pre-contracts, which imo will be more successful than the likes of Harbottle, Kenneh, McKirdy, etc., which we brought in previously.

So no plan really ???

[Greensunshine]

Please don’t sell the clubs soul away to American investors whose only interest is bricks & mortar.

Doh!!! Too late!

Now that it’s been done I really hope that this works. I’ve been reading between the lines about BKF and it looks like we’ll be getting all the best advice on best practice on how the club should be run from top to bottom.

I see big changes ahead in the coming years. Will that equate to success on the park?? I really hope so.

Strap yourself in folks and enjoy the ride.

[superfurryhibby]

We are going to sign some good players who are fit and able to improve our first team.
