We need ambition. Not happy to be in the bottom 6 every season. Petries happy with that. We are not. Get him out.

[IWasThere2016]

Miraculous he's lasted this long. A dutiful owner would have made the change a long time ago. Hibs have been on the slide and rudderless for years now, and RP cannot stop the rot. He is inept and stale.

Yes time for Petrie to go. Done a great job with stadia and finances, and he's built the base, but we should be ROCKING THE **** OUT and he ain't got the balls for that. Since he lucked out with Mowbray it's been shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic. Whether he's just made terrible appointments or some half decent ones and undermined them with poor boardroom leadership, we can discuss on threads and threads, but he is the common factor.

Do the right thing Rod, or Tom, do it for him.

[Diclonius]

Yup.

[NatureBoy]

I honestly think even if we get relegated, Petrie wouldn't have to face any questions, Farmer sadly just isn't bothered.

Even if we ended up in league One playing in front of a few hundred fans, he'd still be there and Farmer would think he was doing an ace job! This is very worrying to me, we can't keep haemorrhaging loyal fans, where are we heading under Petrie?

[Wembley67]

Excuse my ignorance and there may be a simple explanation but what difference will this make? The managers we have had have been backed substantially and most of the appointments the fans have approved.

Something is rotten but is it him?

I really thing TB will turn it around. Takes no **** hence the players getting pissed off.

Once players start signing that know they aren't in for an easy ride e.g long training, not getting pissed then surely only a positive can be taken?

What's embarrassing is 2 home wins this year. What's embarrassing is watching that team trying to play some form of the sport known as football but failing miserably.
What's embarrassing is seeing teams consistently coming to Easter Road and taking the pish out of us.
What's embarrassing is no wins in eight games and the very real prospect of going into a play off to stay in the division.
What's embarrassing is that this situation has been coming for years and we've still not managed to steer the ship away from the iceberg.

It's becoming the norm at ER when the opposition come visiting.

[Keith_M]

I'm no backer of Petrie but he gave us the manager that most of us wanted. We have no reason to believe that he will not back him in the summer transfer window (only speculation, I'd rather wait and see first).

Let's just hold our fire on this one for now.

I don't get this. What's anyone else going to do?

Could argue he's made mistakes with hiring managers, but apart from that...?

Petrie and Farmer have to go if we are going to have any success on the park. A football club is about winning, something the owner and the chairman have forgotten. The only thing Petrie has done is sell our best players and replace them crap. Anyone can sell their assets and pay their debt and build white elephants, Petrie has only done what any Chairman would and could have done, the only difference is most Chairman would not make the mistake of forgetting about building a successful team.

OPERATION FOPO Farmer Out Petrie Out

[Ray_]

I really have trouble with "all he has done". Under his watch, he disenfranchised the support to the extent that he had to hire consultants to pull it together. He employed a useless huddy in Jim Duffy and watched our debt rise to a mind boggling 18M+ before announcing we were in trouble. Even when Rangers were offering 2M for Kenny Miller, he was sprouting that "Hibs do not need to sell", with Tom Farmer on board, most took him on his word, meanwhile after year spent mainly in the reserves, Rangers sell him for a 33% profit. McLeish wrongly gets most of the stick for this debt, he brought in more money through player sales than he spent

He then got lucky with "the golden generation", it was 36 years before that, that the club had brought through that amount of talented youngsters & it'll probably be the same until we do so again. He then cocks up Derek Riordan's contract negations by at first withdrawing an agreed extension, then, nine months later, refuse to pay the money that the player had lost, we end up with paltry compensation from Celtic rather than the real transfer cash, a player with his reputation at the time would command.

Petrie gets lauded for the money he brought in selling the GG, yet Mad Vlad got far more for Craig Gordon & it was only through John Collins influence, we started to hold out for more realistic fee's.

You get some idea with all the exposure he was having after the appointment of TM, when we would see him time and again taking the plaudits for the successful method used in selecting managers, it was ironic that he hasn't been so publicity seeking since then and even then, with all the money coming in during TM spell, he didn't back him with the two quality signings that TM wanted to take the club forward to the next level. We instead sold and have seen the club decline to the level of the last few years.

Couldn't say it better myself, as others have said it will probably get a lot worse before it gets any better not that our owner will care as TF said " i wish i had hundred Rod Petries " could he no just take our one ?.

Petrie should have shown intent in January and went out and got Rooney for the manager in January, Butcher has dropped enough hints that he wanted to sign Rooney and praised him enough times in interviews he has given since coming to the club, it would have also shown the fans that Petrie is backing the manager from the off, but no we got 3 loanees who have been either pretty poor or injured for most of the time or suspended, now we are left with one experienced striker in Collins for the rest of the season, Heff out injured and Haynes is a waste of space and i doubt he will be starting any more games for Hibs.

In a mess.

He's been in the job, or a job, at Hibs for well over a decade.

He has done a lot of good but things have gotten stale and we seem to lurch from one disaster to another at the moment. A fresh, dynamic approach at the top would energise the whole club.

Yep, it's time for someone else to have a go.

Was past his sell by date 5 or 6 years ago. Get him out and let's try move forward. As long as Petrie stays the wrangling and hurt will just get worse.

How about backing a players revolt against Collins and refusing to sign players on permanent deals and only sanctioning loans. He has no ambition to take this club forward.

Is the top not Sir Tom Farmer though? We must be the only supporters who give it tight to the chairman for not spending money while other fans target the owner which is probably more appropriate.
