how can defensive errors week in week out be blamed on the board room?
Let's hope we see a few players this week. Otherwise we are ******!
I really don't know why we persist with the same ***** players at the back. Bin the ****in lot of thum, bring the young lads.
Sorry but it was the defense that cost us not the board
It was 2 young lads in Hanlon and Stephens who were the biggest problems today.Quote:

It's been discussed on countless occasions on these boards but we have the 4th biggest budget in the country yet we don't have A SINGLE DEFENDER at the club that is anything more than average. That in itself is a disgrace. We're terrible, terrible and even more terrible at the back.
I trust Pat Fenlon to get better than we have, tbh it can't be hard.
Of course it's the players that are the problem, but if the board are not willing to shift resources to find new players we are never going to get out of this position, we have had great investment in a new training ground, new stands, and now we need new players but it is not happening
It will never happen if supporters don't protest about it enough, as a previous poster has said it's not the board who are losing goals galore but this biscuit tin mentality must end soon.

We just have to get on with it and hope we can regroup in the summer ...
I feel that any boos must be directed in their direction - reasons below
worst defence in years
7 points behind the team in 10th place
no home wins since oct 2011
fans leaving in droves
Im really finding it hard to focus on the positives - yes we are scoring goals but we are conceding at least 2 every week.
This isnt good enough and if the board (who earn a lot of money) dont find money to purchase new players then they must go.
They have had enough time to sort out the mess they partly created and it isnt good enough.
there is now a real danger of relegation, they have 10 days to get the players in that we so desperately need.
I hope by releasing thornhill, palsson, agogo and sodje that they players are ready to sign, cause if not we are in deep trouble.
Cmon MR Petrie and Co - get it sorted
That's the problem though, I think it IS hard.Quote:

The sooner folk realise that the Board isn't going anywhere, the better. We could sell 1,000 STs next season and they'll stay in place. The fans have absolutely no say in it.
The fact that, after almost 5 years of utter under-performance, Rodders can still walk BTG, speaking to his mates, shows that either we're a compliant bunch or apathy is rife.
Whilst our scouting operation is piss-poor or non-existent, most signings will be complete hit-and-miss.Quote:

Most problems in life can be solved by throwing cash at it but these miserly gits seem unable to do this so be it , we will have a nice shiny new stand in the SFL which they will have to close to save some cash , ironic or what.
How many managers do we need to go through?
It seems we are a great selling club to the old firm and down south but no so great at replacing the talent that leaves. Who's responsible for this???
I think for the benefit of our club Mr Petrie, Mr Lindsey and the rest of the board need to seriously rethink their positions.
We've tried the sacking of managers over the last 5-10 years and its only came back to bite us!
Time to go!!!!
And bring who in? I agree big changes must be made all over the club, but id like to see the board look for investors to help.Quote:

all concerned including Farmer, as even he won't like to be associated with the legacy of two
relegated teams. It's time for all Hibs fans to say enough is enough and protest now.
leeds fans did that today, protesting against "an.absentee chairman and lack of investment in the team". There were hundreds of them there. Not sure if it would achieve anything for us though.Quote:

In a most industries that is either by the shareholders who vote them out or by the regulators. In Hibs case, STF - the major share owner - doesn't really care about Hibs and there are no external regulators.Quote:

I said on another thread that for the most part ST J had better players all over the park yesterday and to cap it all they brought on a sub who wages we were unable/unwilling to match in the summer and all this from a club who can hardly get 3k for some games !. Says it all really ,
The last thing we need right now is a major change such as this. What we need now is a big reaction: from the board, the management team, players and fans. The board need to dig deeper than they want to. They may have thought that we were heading to safety. Yesterday showed we are in real danger.
to change the board at this time would get us relegated - we would unsettle the whole club....
I wonder what STF would want for Hibernain Football Club seems that a few offers have been knocked back
