Bet you about 3 quarters of this forum couldn't tell me the Barnsley manager without cheating.

I couldn't tell you either. A German guy I think.

Quite different than asking if you've heard of a name who managed a Championship club for 2 years and was appointed Leeds boss.

It's the Sportsound mentality IMO. People that probably consider Tommy Wright a more "established" candidate. And think any talk of Heckngbottom being a good fit must be cos he's a yes man and cheap.

I'm sure I'm generalising here but it's quite tiresome to see some of the predictable negativity.

He's been out of a job since June, it's hardly like we've plucked him from obscurity. Adam Hammill - someone who actually knows Heckingbottom - says he's turned down a number of jobs in England during that time.

Not something you've levelled necessarily but I find it bizarre that people look at a manager and his assistant who were last in charge at Leeds and Sunderland respectively and think this is somehow the cheap option! Bonkers.

Lots of people in Scotland won't have heard of him. Says more about their knowledge of football than it does about Heckingbottom.

Super post, well said !!

Another intelligent post, keep it up.

Welcome to the club gaffer

Stayed mostly quiet since NL departed. My believe is that LD is a very good CEO and wouldn't have moved on NL for no reason and i had full confidence in her to take her time, do her due diligence and find the right guy to take the club forward

She reckons that's PH. from his interview he spoke very well, i like his ideas so hopefully he can put them in to practice.

I genuinely believe we've got a decent, if somewhat unbalanced squad. The next 3 games are massive and shape our season tbh

Roll on Saturday

**Iain Neilson** · 14-02-2019 09:39 PM

For the records
I’ve never be a RP fan
Not sure about LD
Been a fan long before them
Be a fan long after them!!!!!
Are we Hibs CLASS when we win only??
Because we’re crass often on here....
As my dad and late brother always said!!
We’re Hibees till we die!!!!!!
21,5,16
Don’t loose that feeling ever........
We’re in it for the long run guys
GGTTH
Last few weeks are the first time I’ve posted?
Why
Because HIBERNIAN FC are US
And only US
Without our backing. We’ve nothing!!!!!
Give PH our backing
If he fails. We’ll still be here!!
It’s our passion!! Sorry Valentine’s Day 🇳🇬🤣

Shape our season yes. But not our future.

Great post btw 👍

Heckingbottom's Green and White army works until we come up with something new. Split syllables as "Hecking-bottom's green and white army", could also be Paul and Robbie's Green and White army

Apologies if it's been posted already but it's seems that Hecks was the only man offered the job according to Dempster.

Just read it, and more than happy with it. Glad that she has had her say and put a few points to right.

No doubt there will be a few questioning what she said, but it's kinda what i've come to expect on here now.

Yes! I know it's an HYS forum, that's the reason that I expect it.

Certainly puts to bed some of the nonsense on here and Social Media midweek about Appleton not to mention the West coast media rags.

She isn't lying. Appleton never got as far as the offer because they couldn't see eye to eye on terms.

Both guys got to the stage of the process where hibs ask what they'd be looking for in a contract and hibs could only find a happy arrangement with Hecky.

"The former Motherwell chief executive added: “Some of the speculation and some of the comments out there are outrageous, but when people don’t know they tend to surmise, and that has never been the best position."

Well said LD, some of the slanderous rumours have been disgusting,

**hibsbollah** · 15-02-2019 05:31 PM

At this stage, since he hasn't started yet, and I never watched a Leeds game with him in charge, I have no opinion of him.

Is it OK to say that? In these days of entrenched opinions online where noone ever changes their mind or has shades of grey instead of black and white I kind of feel like have to apologise for just not having an opinion

Good luck to him and the smoggy dude from the Sunderland documentary. See, I've done my homework
