Is it time to protest (merged)

[KiddA]

This is getting beyond a joke, Hughes should have been sacked weeks ago but lets wait even longer

The board have got a lot to answer for if they don't make changes soon

I think as fans its time to protest and force the change as no one wants 1st division football next year but how do we do that? protest outside the ground?

Thoughts please

Protests - dont happen at easter rd = We Usually Just Vote With Our FEET ???

Hopefully we will miss relegation - due to some kind of league restructure

[Barney McGrew]

Protest?

Behave yourself.

[Hibs7]

Boycott the next home game if he is not sacked by then, no home crowd will get the message across

[Viva_Palmeiras]

For protests and managerial downfalls see Aberdeen.

Be careful what you wish for bet they rue the day they chanted "Smithy must go!"

Lets not go down that road.

Yeah that is one way to vote with our feet.

Maybe we could do something like this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...yside-11459666 I know we could get a couple of great actors like Duggary Scott and maybe the Proclaimers could do the soundtrack .

So you advocate continuing to throw money at the club to be repaid with mediocrity, incompetence and poor performances? There's a line, it's been crossed.

[Hibby70]

if he still there at the killie game i reckon there will be quite a vocal protest when they score the first.

It's a rubbish idea, that's why.

I'm sure protesting from Florida will make all the difference mind. Maybe you could send a strongly worded e-mail, or even better write an open letter?

[Kevvy1875]

This thread is OTT.

I dont think the fans need to protest as the board must know how we feel, either that or they are buttoned up the back.

Protests are usually the last resort to get rid of a clubs board/owner who dosn't have to answer to anyone. In a Manager's case such as this one a protest really will not be needed as Yogi will get his jotters soon enough.

[M11BMO]

No protest. Lower attendances and chants will do just the trick.

I dont advocate boycotting games ..no true hibs fan should even consider that ..tell you what ..have a read at one or two of the hibs accounts threads then come back and tell me a boycott is a good idea ..

We are doing not too bad compared to other clubs financially but starving the club of much needed income in this current climate is a no no ..

Think about it ..

It's quite simple - it may be that the results turn around, Yogi proves us wrong and we start climbing the table with no need to remove him. Highly unlikely yes, but possible all the same. Alternatively, either the board decide enough's enough already or results don't improve and he gets emptied. Both ways benefit the club without the need of any kind of yammish organised protest.

Anyone who was at the game will be able to confirm that the mood of the support was very apparent after the first goal went in, and the board will be more than aware of that already.

Who said anything about boycotting?

Please do keep up

It also amazes me with the amount of sarcasm on this thread. A bit out of order to be honest gie myself a round of applause. WTF

cant expect people to turn up and spend a small fortune watching dross !!!

be told by over zealous steward they cant stand, sing or even smoke and drink !!!

and then paying a quid 50p more for a pie than you would buy from the best butchers you know !!!!

The club has already lost me and my family = 4 season tickets from next season and thats due mainly to the no standing rules and smoking rules !!

If and When !! we can watch the game on the telly - we can all go to the pub, and have a pint or 2 and still nip outside at half time for a smoke !!!!!

can only get a pint if i go to Cinema, basket ball, ice hockey and rugby - oh and ten pin bowling and boxing !!

us football fans are still treated like the hooligans

I disagree. Without supporter representation on the board or in the club, how else are they to be made accountable for what have been appalling footballing decisions over the last fifteen years? Only McLeish and Mowbray have worked out, the others have been nothing less than shocking.

To be fair, when Sauzee, Williamson and Collins were appointed they were undoubtedly the fans choice at the time too. It was only afterwards Franck and Fat Boab turned out to be disasterous, and Collins was the one who bailed on us and only after he'd won us our first trophy for sixteen years.

Only Mixu and Yogi could really be questioned as bad appointments IMO, and even then both were backed by a sizeable percentage of the support at the time.

It is however important that they act now with Yogi and more important than ever that they make the right choice of replacement.

Time will tell but I think the board are already dragging there heels a little.

McLeish reversed our fortunes after the Duffy debacle, qualified for Europe, reached a Scottish Cup final. Mowbray, again reversed the decline under Williamson, qualified for Europe, the football was good to watch at least. Collins may have won the CIS, but I give just as much credit to Mowbray. That do for you?

Collins I'll grant you, but I felt that Sauzee was never ready and Williamson was someone who the fans wouldn't take to, even after having some success with Killie. Easy to say now, granted.
