View Full Version : Big chances afoot?

Hearing that there may be quite a few changes upstairs in the coming week or so.
What that may be, who knows.
I don’t think a full take over from BKFC is currently allowed under SFA rules so would be interesting to see what happens.

If it's 'chances', we'll almost certainly miss them.

Think that Block 7 can all get big arrows and point to the goals when we are attacking? Following that maybe a chorus or two of "All we are saying, is give us a goal":greengrin
And if that doesnt work maybe a chorus of "Lets pretend we scored a goal"

I’m hoping the changes are either
Gordon’s are selling to BKFC
OR
Giving complete footballing control to BKFC
with complete removal of Kensell and current recruitment team, scouts etc
Major changes needed
From signing duds across Europe to unmerited contract extensions
This has went on for 5 years.
Changes must happen

That would be my preferred option. Not fussed for the Gordon’s selling up. They’ve made a mess of running a football team but they’re not going to see us in trouble off the pitch. Just keep them away from anything that dictates what happens on it.

Hearing it’s been a mistake. Someone heard Kensell talking about St. Tropez, put 2+2 together and thought he was away.
Turns out he was talking about his new fake tan mousse.

Ian Gordon mentioned in his recent interview that there was a whole new team of scouts in place from the start of this season - surely you’ve got to give them time. From what he said there was a new system in place and recruitment team.
FWIW, I’ve heard there have been a few changes to staff, but not at senior management level. One change has been someone there for a while in the recruitment team (by all accounts a close friend of Ian Gordon) another was in HR.
I was told that these changes have been needed and are a positive thing, systems take time to change and this is it beginning.

:agree:
They dont know what they’re doing and everybody they hire has done nothing to help fix it.
The idea they ‘just’ need to get people in who know what they’re doing has one major flaw. They clearly don’t know how to do that as they almost exclusively appoint people into roles who completely fail.

You would like to think in this instance then, they have asked, and listened, to the Knights. Or the Knights have approached them saying you really need to be doing this, that and the other and again, its been listened too.

Id rather the Gordons sold up completely. I don't trust Ian Gordon in the slightest not to start meddling in areas he shouldn't again.

We can only hope they say - look we’ve made a complete arse of the on field side, please help and do what you have to do.

I agree, although much like we are hibs, even if he admitted he needs help just now, I wouldn’t put it past him to start meddling again once things are looking a bit better.
I want them gone completely. Preferably sold to BKFC.

They don't but even Rod Petrie worked out he didn't know what he was doing and hired Leanne, so I'm hoping he'll do the same.

Tbh I’m not bothered if he admits it or not. All I want to see or even hear is that he’s handed over control of the footballing operations to BKG for the foreseeable.

Maybe the Black Knights are now sick and tired of the omnish**show at ER (and being told to butt out by the Gordons and their Golden Quadrant b*ll*x) and will may an offer the Gordons can't refuse. If they can get Bournemouth into a position where they can beat Man City, they surely can do somethign with Hibs.

Another thing I heard direct this morning is from a CEO who I think we would all agree on as being one we would want sees Hibs as the role he wants but that he has a role to see through for the next year or so.
Will be interesting to see timing wise what we do with Ben K and a replacement.

We don’t have time. We’re stone last in a crap league where we struggle to score more than one goal per game, and can’t defend our own goal. We need change at the top and in the dugout, preferably tomorrow.
