Pat Fenlon

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 20-05-2016 11:32 AM

Seen on Twitter that he is coming over for the game tomorrow. I remember when he left, he did an interview for one of the papers and said he would love to be amongst that Hibs fans if we ever got to another final.

Class act.

**Michael** · 20-05-2016 11:34 AM

Always liked Pat.

***Ryan91*** · 20-05-2016 11:38 AM

Always seemed like a nice guy, think many would have rather kept Pat than suffer through Butcher

Always felt it was a bit of a knee jerk reaction from the fans, club & Pat for his leaving.

**HibbySpurs** · 20-05-2016 11:48 AM

Good on him.

Personal opinion is we would still be in the Premier if he hadn't been bulleted.

**Ken** · 20-05-2016 11:50 AM

I was speaking to someone last week that was telling me that PF was on his supporters bus for the final

**hibsbollah** · 20-05-2016 12:22 PM

Good guy

Agreed, could never understand why some fans had so much anger towards him.

I remember thinking when he left it was probably the right decision because we were stagnating between 5th-7th for a while. Oh little did we know what would be to come...

Anyway, never any doubting Pat's commitment or class as a person.

***Northernhibee*** · 20-05-2016 02:06 PM

Apologies guys, unfortunate brain fade there.

Hardly. Knee jerk would have been right after the Hearts cup final (which is when he should have gone), or right after the Celtc cup final, or right after the embarrassment of Malmo.

Instead he went after a run of 5 games, with 1 win, scoring just 2 goals. His final game being a 1-0 defeat at home to quite literally the worst Hearts team I can remember in my time watching Hibs - which was the second time we'd lost to them without scoring a goal in the space of 2 months.

That's not knee jerk at all.

But, that's all in the past, hope he enjoys tomorrow, and is celebrating with the rest of us.

Was just about to argue this, completley agree! Had to go, seemed a nice fella but wasn't up to the job. Simple.

**MWHIBBIES** · 20-05-2016 02:20 PM

Fenlon had to go, at the end of the season. Punting him when we did is the reason we went down

Employing Butcher was the reason we went down, not emptying Pat.

**~~Captain Trips~~** · 20-05-2016 02:23 PM

Pat wasn't good enough at all IMO. However enjoy the game Pat you did try.

Hopefully in the next 5 years or so we can get back to a situation where a Hibs manager has to go when the team is sitting in 5th place and been to the last 2 Scottish cup finals!

***JimBHibees*** · 20-05-2016 02:26 PM

Great for him to make the effort to come for the game. Seemed a decent guy and hope he is smiling at the end of it.

Failed to turn up in consecutive Scottish cup finals, and took a record pumping in Europe. I'm in nae rush to get back to that.

**~~Captain Trips~~** · 20-05-2016 02:47 PM

You need only play well for 4/5 games to reach a cup final. It could be your day to play well on cup days. Better managers better players havent got near cup finals and Pat Fenlon proved to me it doesnt take a great manager or even a great team to get to a final it takes 4/5 wins over the course of 3/4 months.

Unfortunatley for us it has been one game to many in the final or when getting knocked out that was just one of those days. I am very hopeful that tomorrow isnt a game we lose, think we are just due that wee win.
