Agreed - but Eddie May should have kept quiet then. Thats what makes us look unprofessional and a bit all of the place if this has indeed broken down

To be fair to Eddie, he’s looked uncomfortable from day one in front of the media, put him in a place he’s never wanted to be. Think he’ll probably end up saying things that in hindisght he might rather have kept quiet.

I've heard similar - if we pay him off in the future or he resigns, the severance he wants is 12 months payment and Hibs want to offer 3 months hence the "delay in negotiations".

We've went back to the other guy Heckingbottom who has told Hibs he won't be second choice to anyone.

...and so the delay goes on.

Just not true. Stop making things up.

The club are correct to take their time.

As other have mentioned it hasnt actually been that long since Lennon left.

It just feels like a LONG period of nothing happening in the transfer window and no football has continued on to now waiting over the manager.

I don't think Mays continued absolute reluctance was necessery or helpful in this. Could have definitely toned it down.

Will be disappointing if by Saturday the man in charge is still a man who doesn't want to be there.

Hibs cannot be defended if they don't give us an update this time. Supporters deserve to know what's going on this time, we're a laughing stock and deserve an explanation.

PR disaster looming.

Manager that no one really knew of a week ago, some how not taking the job (if he was actually offered it and it isn't just people making stories up because they've not got actual facts to report on) means that there's some sort of PR disaster looming?

Talk me through that one please?

No we aren't. Unless you are referring to those who wish us to be a laughing stock inside their petty minds.

This post has a familiar 'tone' to others I've read recently. A pattern of having a pop at the club, finished with a link to Hearts.

Hmmmm....

Aye 5000 posts and im a hearts fan

This place is bonkers - folk are allowed to have an opinion against the club being ace

Its allowed without being anti-board

And its also true, if hearts we losing there first choice candidate after announcing they'd have a new man, we would, quite rightly, be ripping into them

Hibs - through there manager confirmed a new man would be in place this week

If its not, it doesnt paint the club in a good light at all

Come on guys, if this was Hearts we would be ripping into them

And repeat every few minutes until someone, ANYONE agrees with you.

You have absolutely zero knowledge of why there is no statement from the club and if the new man might be starting anytime soon, he doesn't have to start exactly when you say so. Have some bloody patience.

Why would Hibs have to update the fans on speculation? That would be bizarre.

Where does all this detailed nonsense come from? Is it controlled leaks from the club or is it guesswork or sheer fiction.

I would have to agree with this, we must be quite far down the line with this deal and for it not to go through would be poor in all honesty.

Throughout this thread you've argued its ridiculous we don't know what's going on and now something MIGHT have happened that some fans are saying casts the club in bad light you have an extremely in depth insight to all the ongoing talks in regards to the discussions with both parties?

That's either extremely fortuitous or you just enjoy winding up Hibs fans....

Never even suggested you were. Although to be honest the number of posts is irrelevant in any case.

You writing style just seemed familiar. Maybe just me.

Why the fascination with Hearts though?

we are of course reacting to press reports of the deal being dead for the manager we wanted

which is only natural for a message board after all

If Hibs appoint there number 1 choice this week then well done - failing that then, well, not well done.

Eddie must be as anxious as us to get the new man in....he surely doesnt want to do Thursdays presser

Who said he was our first choice candidate? He was bookies favourite and the the papers decided he was our first choice candidate. There's not even been any ITK posters saying he's the number one priority, the whole thing seems to have come from the bookies odds and some fans deciding he's their number one choice based on some positive articles about him.

The only shambles and laughing stock about this whole process has been how quickly some fans are ready to give our club a kicking, it's like many have just been waiting gleefully for anything to happen that can allow them to get angry.

We actually do not know if he was the first choice though. He may have the the only candidite that we got this far down the road with. Our first choice may have said no before we even got anywhere.

How do you know who our number 1 choice is? Also how could you possibly tell it was the clubs fault that they didn’t get him signed?

Why?
Do you actually believe we always get the right man we go for, could it possibly be that he is the right guy but has asked for maybe too much and we can't accommodate him, so we move to someone who wants to be here, also we know absolutely nothing about anything, far too many knickers getting into twists here, get a grip ffs man.

Thats true....regardless the point is the same. They must have been pretty far down the road for May to announce it on Saturday

If it all falls through it makes, IMHO, the club look poor

A lesson in there to kept stum until its actually done I guess

EEN reporting we are still talking to both Appleton and Heckingbottom, with the talks for Appleton currently stalling. David Hardie wrote the story but it seemed like a lot of guesswork, which isn’t usually the case for him. No one has a clue what’s actually happening.
