Will We Get Any News From The Club Today

[AlbertK86]

Suspect not

If KING ROD has anything to do with it he will want to keep things as low key as possible for two reasons

1. Self preservation
2. He does not give a toss about the fans

Only hope is he has seen sense and announces He TB and MM are leaving the club ...... Woops just spilt ma 10th double voddy and coke !!!

Seriously though I think it will be typical Hibs and they will refuse to keep us informed other than the blandest of statements

Time for us to see if Leeann Dempster is her own person as her Forte is engagement with the fans

Good luck lady ..... I hope - but am not confident that you can operate without interference

[SMAXXA]

I think we will get an announcement from the club today

Only if the new lady CEO starts today as the next thing we will hear will be "her decision" rather than RP's IMO!

[nribs]

When does Leanne Dempster take over at Hibs? I only hope she x an make peace.

[Ronniekirk]

No they will now seek to meet and have some media strategy for dealing with this mess and if they are going public with anything they know fans are are looking to pick fault so they need to work out themselves how they plan to move forward and Lee Ann will need briefed as she is likely to be the new face of the Regime change but it will be obvious who is pulling the strings by the content .

[scott7_0(Prague)]

what are you expecting to hear?

Rod has gave his piece on Sunday, they gave a statement on outgoing players yesterday.

I am guessing no contact will be made with the fans until end of the week at earliest or into next week.

[ALF TUPPER]

I think they'll meet and set up a wee strategy. Not expecting anything for a few days. LD will want time to take stock. Good luck to her

That's my point ... I expect to hear nowt but

Would like to hear some sort of rallying call instead of the insipid patronising nonsense that RP put out on Sunday

We need some promises that things will be rectified and the fans concerns will be taken seriously

We need to hear what this wind of change is going to bring

We need to hear a vision for the way we are going to try and bounce back at first attempt

We need the owner STF to give reassurance that he is remotely interested


what do you want ?

One day of yep we've released those who were out of contract cause we need to save money.

now that's all folks let us get on with it and we will sort it out behind the scenes

guarantee that's how KING ROD wants to play it

[blackpoolhibs]

Some sort of meeting will probably be arranged with the support, but it will be hand picked by Hibs. They will then turn up and give everyone the same bull***** they always do.

Unless Petrie is completely out the door, gone left deid, no bugger will believe a word that comes from the club again.

Correct

[Hermit Crab]

I fully expect a club statement today but as we know media relations between club and fans has been very poor over the years.

[Speedway]

Dear supporters of this once proud club,

We've spent the last 48 hours reflecting on the pain and hurt we've caused you all, especially those who've never witnessed Hibs in this position before.

We've considered our own ineptitude at running your club.

We understand that not returning to the top division at the first time of asking, regardless our who else is in that division, is unacceptable.

So here's what we're doing about it.

We've let 14 of the players who aren't good enough for this club, go. We're open to offers on the rest except the kids.

We will sign a new team and invest heavier than we've ever done to acquire it. Will reading that make agents double their price? Maybe.

We will begin announcing signings on the 1st of June. That day we will also open our summer open house where Easter Road will be available free of charge for you to walk in, meet with us and gie us anything you think we deserve.

We'll provide 3 weekly press and Hibernian tv updates on what we're doing and the next time club legends offer to come and work with our youth players free of charge, we'll have the decency to acknowledge their offer and moreover, welcome them with open arms.

You see, we thought we were right in the way we've handled things up to now, we weren't and we'll pay the price accordingly.

Any senior player from this season still at the club at the start of next will be used as a sub only and called upon only if our new signings are unavailable for selection.

We'll make signings of a quality that will excite you and in short, put Hibs back where we belong.

This situation that we've brought about for you is appalling. We're unreservedly apologetic and once we've set you up for the new season, you can vote at the AGM whether we stay or go because with all due respect, emotion blinds logic when running a club and you know nothing about the business of football. You might say neither do we - fair enough, we deserve that.

If you vote us out, we'll give you a parting gift of a financial nature and its all yours from there. If you want us to stay, we'll crack on with winning the championship.

We'll send everyone on our database three designs for next seasons home and away kits and produce the majority vote winner as our strip. We know you like it traditional.

If you can support us as we do this - thank you, but we've asked enough of you over the years, it's our turn now.

Again, sorry.

That would do me for this week.

everything has been poor between the club and the fans, that's what happens when your club is run by an arrogant tosser whose heid is so far up his ain erse he disnae give a toss about anything but himself and his over inflated ego. He disnae give a **** about the damage he's done or continues tae dae while here, if he did he'd be gone.

Probably and other folk will need to see if they are loosing their job (backroom staff/behind the scenes folk etc) since we are relegated.
