Would you accept relegation if it guaranteed the Gordons sold to a competent owner?

[He's here!]

Hard to imagine there's anyone who still thinks relegation isn't a strong possibility so the question is would it be worth it to get rid of the disastrous Gordon regime?

My biggest fear is that if we go down the current hierarchy are more likely to take us into League 1 than back up so I'd pretty much take anything right now to see the back of them.

[Paul1642]

No. We have the BKs with one foot in the door. Their other clubs show that they can successfully run football / sports teams.

Why do we need to get relegated for change to happen?

[MWHIBBIES]

In a heartbeat. Relegation is 1 year of winning every week. Sounds good. And yes, we'd come back up quite easily with Hamilton and Livi as competition.

[weecounty hibby]

No

[Steve20]

No.

I’d rather they left and we stayed up.

[hibee-boys]

Nope as I’ve zero confidence is up coming straight back up.

[Pretty Boy]

I'd rather they just ****ed off without the need for relegation.

Surely Gordon and Kensell can see they are making a total pigs ear of this even if McPherson can't and thinks we are all idiots for questioning their stewardship.

I refuse to believe they are that deluded that they believe they can fix this. It's been a downward spiral on the field since Kensell came on board. He's the Gordon's man and he's failing miserably where it matters (and racking up unsustainable losses on the business side into the bargain). They aren't turning this around, not a hope in hell. They have created the problem and they keep making it worse.

[Lendo]

There’s no denying that things improved around at the club after our last relegation when Dempster was appointed, but still no, it’s too high a price to pay.

[Unseen work]

I’m scared relegation would financially cripple us with how much we’ve wasted on managers and players

[He's here!]

Nope as I’ve zero confidence is up coming straight back up.

Under the Gordons I'd agree but a competent set-up would have us straight back up.

[GreenCastle]

Would rather we stay up by any way possible - right now relegation is happening the sooner the club make changes the sooner we can try get out the mess starting with sacking manager and new players in January.

New keeper
New defenders
New midfield
New attackers
New club captain and vice captain
New manager

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I’d accept a weekend stay at Joszef Fritzl’s if it meant getting rid of that arrogant ******* Ian Gordon.

Likely to take us into League 1? I've read some nonsense on here over the years but that is up there.

More attention seeking pish.

Did I miss us winning every week the last time? :greengrin

Just don’t go down the basement or it might be a long weekend!

[superfurryhibby]

What a loadae pish, beat it.

[Hibees1973]

On Sportsound they left no one in any doubt that Ian Gordon still plays a part in recruitment. Specifically said that MacKay and Gray didn't recruit all the players in this window.

Ian Gordon cannot help himself. Hibs are his toy and he is always going to get his paws on things he is not qualified for.

His and his partner in crime, Kensell's arrogance knows now bounds. Even now they still continue to ignore any input from the Black Knights.

The club will never be what it can be while Ian Gordon & his family remain.

[Northernhibee]

100%. IMO they are the root cause of the majority of issues at the club and even if the pain of relegation led to us starting afresh then it’d be the best thing for us.

[MWHIBBIES]

Did I miss us winning every week the last time? :greengrin

:greengrin I think we'd manage against Hamilton and Ayr.

[blackpoolhibs]

Correct, although it would just be Hibs if we spent out 150th year celebrations in the championship due to that lots incompetance. :boo hoo:

[Murphys Touch]

Anyone saying yes in our 150th season is mental

[Potty78]

NO, that simple. I don't want my club relegated🤷

[we are hibs]

Id rather the Gordons ****ed off and we stay up. they've been a disgrace as owners

[AdidasHibernian]

No.

[SHODAN]

100% yes.

[WestCoastHibby]

Absolutely NOT
Negative mentality can do one.
We absolutely need a spring clean and several rockets up rear ends
This cannot be allowed to continue

[j'adorehibs]

Needs must

Spring clean? We've now saddled ourselves with another raft of sub-standard players on long contracts. They won't be leaving any time soon.

Scraping clear of relegation and facing another season with the Gordons still in charge strikes me as a lot more negative than getting relegated but a new competent owner taking charge.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

We need to sort this out now. Relegation would be a disaster for the club. Get the Gordon's, McPherson, Kensell and Mackay to ****. Black Knights install a manager who is semi competent and maybe, just maybe we can sacrifice something out of this season and build upon next season. Otherwise we're sailing up **** creek without a paddle.

Apart from being useless, Mackay, MacPherson, and Gordon collectively have zero humility. That’s the biggest danger.

Right now the only “positive” I can see from the spectre of relegation would be Gordon’s valuation of the club would need to drastically drop, coupled with a change in the rules of ownership giving the BK’s total control.

Either one of these scenarios would seem unlikely just now, but something has to give in the next two weeks.

[He's here!]

Who decides which of the potential take over candidates are competent, the current owner?

The question is hypothetical. It's a gauge of how far we'd go to be shot of the Gordons.

[flash]

There are absolutely no circumstances in which relegation is acceptable for Hibernian Football Club.

[1875M]

Relegation would be a disaster for this club. No way. I don’t care if ‘we would win every week’, we’re Hibs ffs. Loser mentality.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Is this a trick question?

[He's here!]

Petrie gave Dempster the option not to take up her role at Hibs after we got relegated. Had she not agreed to come to ER regardless there's a good chance we wouldn't have sacked Butcher. I'd say her arrival and the subsequent lifting of the whole club with Stubbs made that relegation acceptable. If it was nailed on that we'd see the back of the Gordons and have an owner capable of running Hibs properly bome in I'd also say that would be acceptable for the greater good of the club.

It shouldn’t have to be forthe greater good of the club.
A disaster for Hibs should be not finishing in the top five never mind relegation.
With the infrastructure and size of the club we are the laughingstock of Scottish football.
The stadium is complete a quality training centre
Money behind the club and we cannot still cannot get it right.
The Gordon’s needs to take a back seat and let football people run the football side of the club.
But new goalie quality left sided centre back
Hard ball winner in midfield
Let’s try Levitt in a10 role
We might just create chances for the striker

The only “plus” point would be Gordon having to reduce his inflated current value of the club to a potential buyer, but then who knows what goes through that guy’s mind where Hibs are concerned?

Rumours persist of him still being involved in recruitment; I also viewed the interview he gave that someone put up on another thread, and “terrifying” doesn’t begin to describe some of his answers and his general demeanour.

If disaster is finishing lower than 5th then a look at our league placings over the last 50 years reveals a long-running disaster story.

[snedzuk]

Yes. We need a total reset and if relegation achieves new owners and a clean sweep then bring it on.

[Keith_M]

This is getting silly now.

:rolleyes:

[stantonhibby]

Funny when you can see a thread title and guess the poster🙄

[Lancs Harp]

We can reset without getting relegated.

[truehibernian]

Really ? We accuse the team of weak mentality (rightly) yet some fans want relegation to “reset” absolutely not !!! I’d be pinning up pictures around HTC of desolate grounds, with plastic pitches galore, right beside a picture of a full Easter Road after a derby win and asking these players “what would you prefer” !!

[InvertedFullBak]

Boy behind me said yesterday that relegation was the best thing that could happen to the club.

God knows how these people survive day to day.

[Jones28]

No danger. Relegation is an unmitigated disaster and you never know what that kind of thing could do to the club. Look at Inverness, 10 years since the won the Scottish cup in premier league and now look.

I’m not trying to fear monger but it cannot be over stated how bad relegation would be.

You might find some of the current players would opt hor the desolate grounds. Less pressure for them. There's a pressure to playing for Hibs, even if it might not seem like it, and a lot of the players we sign clearly can't handle it.
