[Trinity Hibee]

Ruined this club on the park

[Jones28]

Not tonight eh? Plenty of good things have happened under their stewardship.

[Vault Boy]

Tore apart a football structure that had been largely successful for us, wasted millions on failure after failure, now backtracking to a similar structure to the one they got rid of. Sound.

[Famousfivehh]

They are clueless and don't appear to be learning from Their numerous mistakes.

[SHODAN]

Their biggest mistake was putting Kensell in charge of anything football related. They need to rectify that.

[MWHIBBIES]

It's ****ing long overdue.

No, lots of good things have not happened. Since Leeann left and Kensell arrived, we've been a disgrace on the pitch. They must go.

[we are hibs]

Agreed 100%.

Theyve got off lightly compared to what Petrie got too tbh.


Couldn't believe there were folk praising them for "writing off" the debt that was generated in the last couple of years. The debt they created FFS.

That’s a false equivalence, Petrie was Kensall’s equivalent.

[Hibees1973]

At last.

Someone has finally started a thread other than me about our owners. Apparently I'm obsessed with them.

The ARE at the root of all our problems. Pleased some Hibs supporters are beginning to see the light.

It's too late now though. They have taken us down a road with The Black Knights which any prospective new owner will have difficulty negotiating with.

It's going to be a hell of a long way back.

Petrie ran the club. Ian Gordon and Ben Kensell "run" the club now. Farmer made it clear he had no interest in being a hands on owner and left it to Petrie

CEOs are responsible for the whole thing. The people running the day to day football side have failed. He appointed them though so it is his responsibility.

[truehibernian]

John Collins in as Director of Football - Ben K to get his marching orders, Monty won’t be here next season as I’ve always said, and an experienced manager who knows this league, Scottish football and unites the team and support. Easy !

At least you’ve come clean. Come on man, this is exactly the time for this thread. It’s a disgrace what is happening at our club

[Chorley Hibee]

2016, the engaged and eager Hibs support, record ticket sales, huge crowds, and a successful team, all seem but a distant memory now.

The Gordon family, Kensell, the rest of the board, the numerous incompetents throughout the club, and the catalogue of hopeless managers, have set us back to pre-2016 levels.

I'm scared by what the Black Knights saga could look like, too.

[Pretty Boy]

That’s a false equivalence, Petrie was Kensall’s equivalent.

They get off lightly compared to Tom Farmer then, that's also true.

[Jones28]

I’m not saying it’s not a disgrace. I don’t believe the Gordon’s have appointed the right people/person, that’s very much on them.

What’s happening on the park right now is down to a group of players who are a disgrace and a clueless manager.

[GreenCastle]

Lack of leadership at all levels.

We are a serious joke of a club and wasting a load of money on dross staff.

[Jones28]

I don’t remember STF getting criticism anything like the Gordon’s have had, Petrie copped a ****load of the flak.

[Northernhibee]

Rich men playing real life football manager.

We’ve ended up with a DoF who should never be a DoF, a CEO who gets off lightly because he likes a beer and has overseen hospitality getting a lick of paint, a defence that can’t keep goals out, a midfield that doesn’t pass or battle, a £700k striker who couldn’t score in a brothel, the remaining players who get the club leaving, and I don’t see where it gets better.


But it’s OK, they’re reviewing it.

[Keith_M]

What annoys me most is the stupid apostrophe in their name.

I mean. if they can't even get the hang of spelling, then they shouldn't own a football club.

There were 2 coordinated campaigns against him.

One after relegation in 1998 and another far more recently. The latter was particularly vitriolic.

The man saved the club and left a brilliant platform to build on. Yet some speak about him as though he was some reckless moron who didn't have a clue.

Look at what Farmer inherited when he bought the club and what he left. What he left is what the Gordon's inherited and I know what looks better by every possible measure.

I’m not disagreeing with anything you’re saying, the campaigns are not something I remember, especially the 1998 one as I was 5 years old at the time.

I remember one pretty pathetic banner being unveiled and about 15 folk backing it at the time circa 2011 or thereabouts.

It might be worth remembering that RG passed away a little over a year ago, leaving his family to run the club in his stead and it would have been a hell of a lot to take on for them.

I’m very much prepared to cut them some slack in the circumstances and would say that Kensall is the one I want to see **** off.

I’m not sure what we’re disagreeing about here? Unless you want the Gordon’s gone?

[He's here!]

Not tonight eh? Plenty of good things have happened under their stewardship.

Better hospitality won't mean much when there's nobody using it. We're a joke where it matters and there's zero sign the Gordons are capable of putting the right people in place to change that. Their tenure has been, as another poster put it, a slow puncture.

Well said. The one thing going for the board is that they haven’t taken us down, unlike Petrie let happen. If they haven’t realised by now that they don’t know what they’re doing, then hopefully today helps.

[Hibees1973]

That's unfair on Sir Tom.

He wasn't hands on. He knew his limitations.

Trouble with The Gordons is they are hands on which is why the club is in a mess. Racking up huge losses, ridiculous appointments throughout the club, the list of failures goes on and on.

They have Kensell putting up so many smoke and mirrors saying it's alright and going to get better but it's clear more and more Hibs supporters no longer trust them.

[The Captain....]

Was thinking today that the Gordons will surely be thinking this football lark isn't for them. It's going from bad to worse. Can't understand why they'd want the aggravation personally..I don't doubt their intentions were and are good but by christ it's been torture under their stewardship.

As a bare minimum Ian Gordon, our owner, has got to announce tonight that Montgomery and his senior coaching staff have been sacked immediately.

Gray appointed as caretaker until the end of the week.

Ian Gordon has got to allude to what the parameters of this review is so the Hibs support know what is going on. A responsible, competent owner and someone who cares about Hibs would do this within the next hour or two.

Think most of us have the feeling that there is a complete and lack of leadership at Hibs and it's a total shambles that Ian Gordon & Kensell do not have a clue what to do.

Think our fan base have been fairly sympathetic towards them.

Nah I’m out. Cba going over what had been fairly well trodden ground imo.

Nope. Our previous CEO was Leeann Dempster. The best non-playing signing Hibs had made in my time

Since around about midway through this season my opinion finally switched. I now see what is plain and simple in front of all our eyes. Our club is being run by a group who are completely clueless.

No more of this blaming the manager nonsense, the problems at this club start from the top and I will not be renewing my season ticket until they are gone.

I'll be back to the odd game here or there, but I'll not be giving any more season ticket money to a group who are taking our club further backwards at every opportunity they get, not intentionally but out of pure incompetence.

In my opinion more fans need to do the same otherwise we'll be years down the line and in who knows what kind of mess. Grim times for this football club ahead I fear.

If IG says anything at all (which I doubt) it’ll be the same packaged corporate guff that our club specialises in when they send their weekly slew of emails asking us for money.

It will have no reference at all to the playing side of things, as it will be written for him by Kensell as part of their continuing mutual pact of self-preservation.

Gordon needs to let someone capable run his club's football deptartment..

We are now where our neighbours were a few short years when their player recruitment was awful.

That will then in turn help in the managerial and player recruitment in the summer.

Your second paragraph - I’ve heard similar and it goes right back to when Ron took over.

There are some numbers that can be made look good on the commercial front since they came in but there’s been so much that has left so much to be desired - including softer stuff, like how employees (and often now ex-employees) feel about matters.

Folk with the best interests of the club at heart too, not just bitter ex-employees who have failed in their jobs.

The previous regime (whilst admittedly not without their own failings) totally revamped the stadium, steered the club clear of financial difficulties and built a training centre - and also won 3 major trophies in 27 years.

If what I’m hearing is true then he is set to stay and will be for the foreseeable. Very dissapointing.

Then it's a relegation battle, an empty stadium, more disastrous accounts, and things getting even more toxic than they already are.

Strap yourself in.

[Paulie Walnuts]

You can’t have been supporting us that long then. I thought you were a bit older than that.

I’ve had a season ticket for over two decades and gave it up this season. A lot of that is for the sort of reasons Stuart has outlined.

Theres no doubting we’ve had worse teams, but Hibs right now are absolutely soulless imo.

Aye but we are thriving off the pitch tho , Hospitality is through the roof , Who needs a team on the park when he's got behind the scenes sorted ? Aw aye and he's a really nice guy to chat tae

Only passing on what I’ve heard from a source who told me LJ was getting punted well beforehand and who hasn’t steered me wrong since. There are going to be “changes” announced but Ben Kensell will not be one of them. The appointment of this man has been an absolute disaster.

Him and his wee buddies in hospitality will always have each other…

[Not In The Know]

The previous regime (whilst admittedly not without their own failings) totally revamped the stadium, steered the club clear of financial difficulties and built a training centre - and also won 3 major trophies in 27 years.

This mob after 6 years have ruined our football operational structure, wasted years of our time with their nonsensical moneyball *****, undone all the goodwill and buzz from the Scottish Cup win (we’ll be back at 9/10k STs for next year) and added a couple of tellys to the stadium. And they’ve tarted up a couple lounges.

Not a patch on the previous leadership, frauds the lot of them.
We will continue to suffer as long as these are running the club.

Btw we are on the same page here. But listing infrastructure achievements as a plus kinda negates the chat folk are coming out with about the current stadium revamps.

it feels like we are within touching distance of some good but it doesn’t feel like we can make that final step at the moment. That is the most frustrating part of it.

So much misplaced angst [emoji1787]

Care to explain mate? Who else is to blame?

Not tonight eh? Plenty of good things have happened under their stewardship.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[He's here!]

Gray is coaching staff. Can't bin the others and not him.

Monty inherited him so he won't work with him again as part of his team (not least because Australia's the only place Monty will get work now). He's also probably done a better job as caretaker than the last three managers have done in their time at ER so we'd be daft to bin him. I'd be fine with him being given the job full time.

Your second paragraph

There are some numbers that can be made look good on the commercial front since they came in

Keep hearing how we’ve improved on the commercial side but like you not convinced. Is commerce not essentially defined as buying and selling goods with a view to making a profit? We’ve ran up significant losses and debt so I find it hard to see how this has been a success. We might have nice corporate suites but when you go to the cinema do you go for nice seats or a good film? The club is rudderless. The managerial appointment defines your football club and even without the befit of hindsight., McInnes should should have been appointed on each of the last 3 occasions.

We clearly don’t want a strong manager who knows how to run a football club properly.

We're a busted flush. No leadership on or off pitch. A rudderless ship

[JimBHibees]

Surprised you think that. In my opinion the Gordon’s have had no where near the criticism they deserve.

Think our fan base have been fairly sympathetic towards them.

Probably for an obvious reason

[Forza Fred]

Yep, sometimes I shake my head and wonder if some posters think there are hundreds of prospective owners who have bottomless pockets queueing up out there interested in spending a sizeable part of their fortune to buy a run of the mill football team in a fairly mundane league.

We no longer have that debt.

We incurred it to pay for the new facilities. It has been removed, so we essentially didn't pay for those facilities. And we are now enjoying the increased income from them.

And the debt repayments are no longer in our budget, so we have that money to spend elsewhere.

That bit is a success IMO.

As for the losses, that probably won't be the case this season.

Be careful what you wish for - exactly my thoughts

Scottish football is not a money spinner
You won’t get into the EPL as you can if you buy a team like Wrexham.
Scottish football is a business where surviving takes a lot of work and some luck.

Scottish football is unattractive for anyone that wants their money to work for them.

It’s a crap investment and if you get anyone with dough willing to invest you’re in luck.

Good people learn - hopefully they are learning and with Black Knights looking at things I’m not overly worried right now.

I’d be more worried if the Gordons and Black Knights pulled out and said okay - we are listening to the fans - on you go.

You must be at it - we’re lucky to have our current owners? What the **** sorta thinking is that?

They’ve been a total disaster, pretty much since they replaced Dempster with that dafty Kensell.

Overseen our worst home defeat to Hearts in 25 years
Overseen our worst home defeat to Aberdeen in 39 years
Overseen our worst home defeat to St Mirren in 39 years
Signed (an absolutely brutal) player by mistake
Fielded an illegible player leading to us forfeiting a competitive match

Tarted up a couple of lounges and some folk think we’re lucky to have them 😂

This lot have set the club back YEARS - absolutely hopeless

I wouldn’t speak that highly of them.

[Phil MaGlass]

What we need is the Gordons to take care of the hospitality side and get a real experienced DOF(Gordon Strachan?) in and a manager. Oh and sack NM immediately.

[Hibees1973]

God what a mess they have made of things. Pity the new manager clearing this up, before even starting to fix things.

[The Tubs]

A real mess would have us in a worse financial situation and being relegated. Thankfully this hasn't happened though the last three seasons have been missed opportunities.

Hopefully they are still as committed as they were before but have learned from their mistakes and are willing to get real help in on the football side.

Should we read anything into the statement being from the Gordon family and not Ben ?

Maybe he is about to get bullet too
