Exactly. It's a shame that it's us that got the bad end of the deal but I can't see what people are expecting here. OTJ was never going to go "Pat, I'm not sure I'm good enough - I'm just going to play for East Fife instead". It's nice to hear players talk openly and relatively positively considering the time at which they played for us, it's a shame it never worked out for Collins as other than missing a couple of sitters (jumped on worse at the time due to our situation) he had a lot of good attributes for a forward player.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I didn’t actually realise he made 11 appearances under Stubbs, I thought he’d left that summer.

Was actually a very good listen I thought. Pretty honest about their times at Hibs during what was a difficult period. There’s no doubt the relationship between players and fan was more strained to the relationship and identity that we have now. Our patience and frustrations had been stretched too far and and we were definitely far quicker to jump on players backs back then than now, and it just summed up the toxic atmosphere about the club at that time.
You could sense that they didn’t really want to give much airtime to Malpas which told its own story really, and Butcher made an almighty pigs ear of things alright. The worst managerial appointment ever, and I’m embarrassed to think back on how I was desperate to see the appointment made. Have said before that as soon as I saw him pull that stupid face in the main stand on his first PR photo shoot I suddenly got a bad feeling about the whole thing.
Both came across pretty well, but Collins was perhaps embellishing things a little when talking of hearing bricks bouncing off the stand as angry fans gathered outside following relegation.

Collins actually speaks okay of us to be fair but still strikes me as a prick. OTJ was a wage thief.

OTJ would be a contender for a place in my worst Hibs XI and that’s saying something. Seemed more interested in golf on his social media than football. Dreadful player.

Heffernan was alright but as others have said he was too old by the time he got here. Vine was a waste of space. More interested in his beard than playing football. Collins was a trier but just wasn't very good at us. I think the pressure of following Griffiths got to him (as he kind of alludes to in the interview).

So what do club medicals actually achieve? How could OTJ pass a medical when his legs were gone.
I would imagine there would be some type of bleep test as well as an examination?

It really was just the most terrible of times. Butcher and his hatchet man of an assistant administering the final wound to a club that had been going steadily downwards for the 7 years since winning the league cup.
As much as i really cant stand Butcher (more so Calderwood i have to say), it really was a study in the badly managed decline of a club, and the failings of Collins, Mixu, Fenlon and Calderwood were all too similar to not have been heavily influenced by the highheidyins running the club.

This comment alone shows how bad things were.
Maybury did nothing of note for us, but I suppose in comparison to some of his team mates that made him a stand out!
