How many can we come up with? I’ll start …….
Myth #1. We need a big clear-out in the summer to improve the first team
Reality #1. We’ve had major squad overhauls every year. When was the last time the first team significantly improved?
Myth #2. We need a new manager who will clear out the dead wood and bring in his own signings
Reality #2. Since 2014, the recruitment team at Hibs have scouted, identified and approached prospective signings. They’ve also scouted and interviewed Head Coaches. The job of the Head Coach is to manage the squad he is given. After a season he may earn the right to have an input into signings.
The old ‘Manager signs players’ model was discarded a decade ago.
Myth #3 anyone?

Only guys like Neil Lennon and Roy Keane can install passion and this mythical winning mentality. If they lose a match its the players fault.
If the soft spoken guy loses a match, he cannot inspire the team.

Myth #4 The best way to improve the club's flagging on field fortunes is to stop going to matches.
Truth ... no it isn't.

Handing back your season ticket if you don't get what you want is a good idea

The best way to build a player’s confidence is to boo him onto the park.

A Hibs myth is a persistent theory put forward by some supporters that is either factually incorrect or has little evidence on which to base the hypothesis.
Opinions commonly have some factual basis

I’m also a grumpy old man who is fed up reading the same nonsense from the same posters about new players we don’t have being better than the ones we have now (when they so rarely are),
And that the new ‘manager’ will be signing a squad full of new players (We only recruit Head Coaches who have to deliver a good season before earning the right to identify new signings).
There has been a European system at Hibs since 2014. Unfortunately now the system is being run by non football men. A recipe for disaster in my opinionLast edited by RIP; 01-05-2022 at 08:14 PM.

You posed the question about myth 3 ?
So I give my thoughts to your myth 3 that you're a hibs fan / supporter

Myth 3 it’s all Jack Ross’s fault where we are followed by we are just a toy for Ron Gordon and his son.
Owe not to mention the crowds would come flocking back if we sacked JR and probably going to be the same with Maloney.
And one final one whilst I’m on a roll, fans who don’t knee jerk react and piss and moan after a loss are happy clappers where as those that do don’t accept mediocrity so it’s justified (yet follow hibs a club that’s been largely that for one reason or another for most of our lifetimes)
Well you did ask 😉, myths or moans make of it what you want

When you loose a match no matter how narrowly or how much Hibs dominated it, then the club is rotten from top to bottom.

Smoke bombs are really bad and do nothing for the atmosphere.

Myth - Shaun Maloney was a Head Coach.
Fact - Shaun Maloney was announced, quite notably imo, as the 1st team Manager. A clear change in title from that of his recent predecessors.

Thinking its good when Hibs get a large fee for one of our best players.
There will be one but I can't think of one offhand where the money received has got us a better player

I think most people know you aren't going to replace like for like. If you sell John Mcginn for £2.5M then you can't sign a £2.5M rated player to replace him because said player wants the wages a player of that value can command. You also have to consider that neither Mcginn or Boyle were £2.5-3M players when we signed them, we developed them, they flourished and moved on.
The alternative in the era of Bosman is letting these guys run down their contracts and walk away for nothing at all. It's wishful thinking to think guys who can command £20K+ a week elsewhere are going to stay here for a fraction of that. If it's difficult replacing them with £3M, how hard will it be with £0.
I'm not sure I'd say it's good when we get big fees for our best players. It's just a necessity really. I'd rather that than have a situation like Hearts have with Souttar with him moving to Glasgow for **** all.
