Who chooses our managers?

[Waxy]

Was there not discussion last time,after alot of failueres. Who actually chooses our managers.I'm certain We gave Petrie so much stick about it that some other picks our managers now. Or was i dreaming/nightmaring?

[Beefster]

It was Hyland and Lindsay last time around with Rodders having sign-off.

They may have done so in a previous engagement therefore before jumping in headlong i refer the said question to satisfy wether they had or had not ,at a previous appointment, progressed to employ such a winning manager in previous times.

When the last 5 managers have left the place in a worse state than when they took over, you have to ask questions of him what appoints them.

Petrie is at the core of the problem. Our gradual slide towards last night began when he sided with the players in 2007 when they whined about having to train hard.

If fenlon.leaves tomorrow even his harshest critic couldn't say we are worse now than when he took over, surely?

We are not much better though are we?

[Dunderhall]

I blame the interview panel's warm up routine.

[Waxy]

One more bad manager choice and it'll be "Sack the board"
It's getting plain to see that's where the problems are coming from.
Maybe we should appoint a director of football?
But then i suppose we'd have the same problem of clueless board members picking rotten directors of football.
My heads sore.

Depends how you judge it. Overall very slight improvement. But he's presided over the worst 2 results in our entire history. Still nowhere near good enough

Thats just lies, Petrie never backed the players he backed Collins.

[The Voice Of Reason]

I have it on good authority that Petrie was not involved in selecting Fenlon (after the Calderwood debacle).

It was Keith Harris and Orwell who had they final say on the Fenlon appointment

[marleyhib]

I have it on good authority that Petrie is a complete autocrat and is involved in everything at the club, from appointing the manger to who cleans the bogs. To say he had nothing to do in appointing Fenlon is surely way off the mark.

Hibs are rotten to the core, we encourage mediocrity and are rapidly becoming a laughing stock. Big, big changes are needed at Easter Road and it should start at the top i.e. Petrie.

[steakbake]

I reckon they use a ouija board and Petrie always pushes the glass.

[marleyhib]

On reflection I think it's Craig Levein.

Most of the time the Board selected the manager that the fans wanted:

Franck Sauzee, John Collins, Mixu, John Hughes?

I agree. The majority of the time, they did take the easy/lazy option.

[Gettin' Auld]

I think it's Elmer Fudd.

[Waxy]

Sack the board.

Perhaps Pat Fenlon doesn't have a chance.
As much as he's a good guy the fact he's been in charge of two of our worst results ever
well,suppose it's like waking up and finding youve got two horrid tattoos.

We will always associate Pat with THAT final and perhaps we really do need to freshen the club up.

Please don't let Petrie pick the next guy.
