90+2 will need to spill the beans as to who else he’s got money on.

Strachan 👍

Go back and read my original post again. I said he was a success to some degree at blackpool and that he failed at blackburn. He was sacked ffs , sacked because of his results , of course he failed.

Wonder who his assistant will be, someone with knowledge of Scottish football?
Did he have a regular assistant when he moved clubs in England

Grant Murray?

He spent less than THREE months at Blackburn! He was sacked there because the owners are LUNATICS!.

To say he failed is disingenuous.

So if we have a spotter at the game we will determine who the final candidates are?

If we had a spotter at the game, he/She would be playing 'spot the crowd'

This was his assistant at Oxford & he is still there.

A mate’s an Oxford season booker & rates Appleton highly after he done well there.

I'm sure he played against us for Blackburn in the Anglo-Scottish Cup back in 78 or whenever.

That’s incredible knowledge.

I’m struggling to remember the hibs team for the game that finished a few hours ago and you can remember players from a team that played against us about 40 years ago?!

Fair play to you 😂

So our new guy doesn’t gain respect and backing from our support?

Lennon has chucked it and this season was brutal yet he was still to be backed yet our new guy is to take another persons side that couldn’t get the best out of them otherwise he will be hounded out?

No, he should be given time until that window shuts in August to put his stamp on the team then questions can be asked.

I’m stating facts buddy. Under Neil Lennon’s management we got promoted, finished 4th, got through 2 or 3 stages of Europe and lost 3 of our best players. Appleton deserves time and I’m sure all fans will give him that. But when he turns out to be a failure it will be the board who get the s*** not him. I’m happy to bet £100 that under Appleton’s management we will not finish in the top 4.

Hahahaha....we were standing with the Blackburn fans and I'm sure they were raving about him. The name just stood out!

We might not, we haven’t got the three best midfielders in Scotland that Lennon inherited any longer.

I know what you’re saying too and if he fails or the next guy does the board will have serious questions to answer.

“Appleton deserves time and I’m sure all fans will give him that. But when he turns out to be a failure....”

Sounds like he’s already had his time with you? Some folk are going to be right on him from the start. Difficult situation for any new manager to come in to.

I will back him 100%, I want Hibs to win every game that’s why I invest so much money and time into them. I just don’t think he is the right appointment unfortunately mate.

I would have preferred Stubbs.

I’d take that bet on but I don’t want to credit such rank pessimism within our ranks.

If we finished in the top 4 and got another shot at Europe under Appleton it would be worth every penny.

It’s because there’s a Neil Lennon supporters club on here. Same folk who would never want Stubbs back (weirdly). Stubbs left, I backed Lennon, Lennon leaves I back the next guy. Why would anyone gleefully supporting Hibernian want our next guy to fail just to go “told you we shouldn’t have parted with Lennon” it’s bamboozling.

Me too. I thought Stubbs to the end of the season was a no-brainer to be honest.

We'd have had a manager in straight away, might not have meekly coughed up 6 points in the league which might make the difference in making the top 6, knows the club and a lot of the players, and would have bought the Board a bit of time.

I've long since stopped trying to work out how our Board's mind works though, and I suspect they'll not be telling us any time soon, either.

You’re not the sharpest tool so how did you come to try conclusion how well Appleton will do at Hibs? Probably very easily influenced like other hard of thinking sheep types no doubt so went with the pro Lennon brigade.

Does nobody think Lennon has been hopeless this season, the board are overrated and let’s back the new boy regardless and hope he does the business!!

And another thing, have you not got a kiddy on website to be running?

After Lennon I was expecting a statement of intent from the board. Maybe Strachan who knows the Scottish game, won multiple premierships and managed the national team. Maybe he will come this next next year.

So the Board are taking their time to try and ensure they get the right man but you wanted a stop gap because they might have stopped us getting beat in two of the four games since NL left? Doesn’t make sense to me but any excuse for you to have a pop at the Board. Again.

Do you remember how inspired we were about Mowbray’s appointment on here?

Some folk even got him confused with Stuart Ripley 😂
