Thread: Agm

  1. #1

    Agm

    After today should be a very very uncomfortable night for the chairman and manager.

    Our finances are taking a hit as we've sold everyone of value and the crowds are tumbling. there is very little atmosphere at easter road now as the stadium is only ever half full.

    Our team on the pitch is 1 point off the bottom, out the league cup and fans are giving up on the team, he has been here over a year now and there is NO improvement.

    we are an easy team to beat and and unless drastic action is taken, ie more money for better players or a new manager we may get relegated.

    im off for a beer

    He needs to get it tight. Simply. Not. Good. Enough.

    When is the AGM? Unless they do a 'Hughes', they'll be dreading it. Rightly so, mind you.

    This week, I think?

    If Calderwood does go before the AGM, that should not absolve the board. They are just as culpable for the club's situation, if not more so.

    At the AGM they skirt around and beat about the bush and answer nothing. I used to go but find it more useful staying at home and washing my hair.

    AGM on Tuesday

    Could be interesting - looking forward to it. Hughes was sacked on the eve of the last one, hence I wonder if Mr Calderwood may meet a similar fate...

    I think CC may just surprise us and resign.

    Regardless, the board MUST be held accountable on Tuesday. I will be fully prepared with facts and previous quotes/visions/ambitions from our esteemed board members. I hope others do the same.

    Its times for frank questions and honest answers. They must understand this is simply not good enough.

    I want tangible, realistic and thought out solutions to our problems. Not the usual lip service that we are used to receiving.

    I Agree RP Will pull the same stunt diverse the blame away from him so he can keep his position id expect an announcement of an emergency board meeting either tonight or tomorrow.

    There is no way he can stay now, the worst hibs team I've seen and he even said a 0-0 draw against Dunfermline would be ok. FFS I'm so angry at anyone saying he should have more time. The more time he has, the worse we get. He is a DISASTER of a manager. GO GO GO NOW! PLEASE.

    My feeling as well, and I hope he has some honour and does so as we can't afford to sack him. Should be an interesting AGM and I wish I could attend.

    It's a difficult one for the board. If we had won today then there is no chance they would have sacked him as they could point to an improvement in results recently. Now though, it would be stretching it to say things are getting better when we are only a point off bottom place.

    I thought he should have gone months ago and can only hope that common sense now prevails and we go our separate ways by the end of the week.

    The problem is though:

    • We complain if a manager is sacked/resigns too quickly
    • We blame the board for sticking by a manager
    • We criticise the board if the appoint an ex player as manager
    • We criticise the board if they appoint someone who doesn't understand the hibs way (i.e.used to play for us)
    • We blame the board for not backing a manager
    • We blame the board for backing a manager


    What should the board do?

    Common sense would have been to accept the 300k on the table from BC, Now we have to pay up his contract to get rid this to RP Will be like pulling teeth i hate to say it but i dont think RP Could pay him off the financial burden would all but kill him.
    We will get panned off and patted on the head and told to jog on.
    CC Will be here till at least season end if RP Gets his way, only way for proper change is to axe RP

    Good post mate.- all of the above are relevant options - it's the real question, and if they had been there 5 minutes I'd be more sympathetic.

    Problem for me is that the key players in our boardroom have been around long enough to have relied on all or some of the above at some time in recent memory so we are probably at the point where the board has to go or radically alter its approach but because of how the company is run and share holdings are set up the vast majority of individuals who care (and take not one penny out) and would express a view have about 0.001% of the voting shares in the company and 2 guys hold enough for the opinions and votes of the rest of us not to matter at an AGM.

    Might be worth going for him, statistically he is beginning to look better than Calderwood - I'll get my coat.

    I think we have only moaned once when a manager was sacked and that was sauzee, cant remember anyone getting too annoyed about a manager resigning tho.

    We blame the board for sticking by a crap manager

    We blame the board for not backing the manager when we are doing well

    We blame the board for backing the manager when they are crap.

    The only 2 there I would agree with you about as being a problem is the ex players ones.

    the board should sack cc and get someone in like pat nevin a director of football to oversee the appointment of the next manager.

    the problem is tho, that this situation is much more deep rooted than just change the manager. coaches,board members and the whole scouting system has to bee changed.

    Yes but it's all perception, JC delivered the league cup but then results started too dip and doubts got raised about his signings then he quit/got forced out. Then cam mixu, the football was boring and he seems un-capable of handling the pressure, eventually he quit. Then came yogi and all was great, folk loved his passion and the way he talked about football. A few months later he was a buffoon who talked a load of ****.

    The mixu took over kilmarnock and was great, played good football and if only hibs had stuck by him.

    Do you see what I'm getting at yet?
