Can we expect a press conference first thing tomorrow?

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 22-09-2019 07:09 PM

Any 'in the knows' heard anything? With the Killie cup game midweek, I would imagine any announcement about Hecky's removal would have to come tomorrow. If he survives Monday, he will be in charge for the next game. You would have to think there are boardroom conversations tonight.

**B.H.F.C** · 22-09-2019 07:10 PM

He’s not going anywhere.

***coldingham hibs*** · 22-09-2019 07:10 PM

I honestly cannot see him being punted which would be criminal.

***CL0762*** · 22-09-2019 07:10 PM

No.

There won’t be any boardroom conversations around Heckingbottom or his future IMO.

I predict he’ll be here until the next international break at the least.

**~~Weegreenman~~** · 22-09-2019 07:12 PM

Nope, fully expect him to be here for the foreseeable 😞

**Liberal Hibby** · 22-09-2019 07:12 PM

On what basis do people say Heckingbottom won't get his jotters?

When he does there won't be a press conference - that's only done for arrivals not departures.

**Sir David Gray** · 22-09-2019 07:12 PM

There should be but it won't happen any time soon, I fear.

Once we're about 6 points adrift at the bottom and out of the League Cup then they might act.

To be fair the above is probably only about a fortnight away so we won't have too long to wait but it's time to act now.

**~~Speedway~~** · 22-09-2019 07:13 PM

Nope, he’s staying.

The fact dempster wont want to admit shes wrong.

**The Captain....** · 22-09-2019 07:15 PM

Dempster will back him for at least a few weeks yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of deluded Busgesque defence of him early next week.

Nah. Boards a bunch of *****bags too.

Thousands of fans will leave before club do anything. I fully expect us to be near 10k attendances and guaranteed bottom six before they do anything.

Don’t think club realise that if we saw brilliant performances then we would be happy to endure bad luck and losses. Problem is the football is terrible and isn’t getting better. Added to that the results are horrendous and aren’t down to bad luck. Should have been sacked after Ibrox, the warning signs have been there since the cup games.

**Pretty Boy** · 22-09-2019 07:16 PM

Lose to Killie, lose to Celtic and lose to Aberdeen then we might act.

He's going nowhere this week. ****ing criminal.

Why do people keep saying this? Has she got form for being stubborn? It’s a genuine question btw

Aye, fair point. Press announcement then.

It's clear to almost everyone that the game is up and it's just a matter of when. First thing tomorrow seems the perfect opportunity.

Why - on what basis?

**I'm Spartacus** · 22-09-2019 07:18 PM

If we don't get by Killie then our season has taken a massive nose dive very early on. Get rid ASAP

If anything she strikes me as being someone who isn't scared of making tough decisions and taking a course of action.

The loyalty points thing I think.

***southern hibby*** · 22-09-2019 07:20 PM

There’s a board room meeting on Tuesday. However I don’t think it will be about getting shot of PH, think it’s for normal stuff that’s usually talked about.

We should NEVER have allowed him to go into this derby as manager, Levein’s cup finals and PH treats it as just another game probably. The guy is out his depth full stop.

On the basis that he’s not sacked.

***WhileTheChief..*** · 22-09-2019 07:23 PM

Struggling to think of a reason for LD not to act this week.

I don’t think being stubborn will be an issue. She must see that it’s not working and that leaving it a few weeks is simply kicking the can down the road.

It’s a perfect opportunity for RG to make an impact. Get a new manager in, set some bloody standards and make it clear to everyone what’s expected.

And then get ready to spend some damn cash in January to fix this mess.

**franck sauzee** · 22-09-2019 07:24 PM

Don't think he will be sacked and on Wednesday we will be out the League Cup

**~~Speedway~~** · 22-09-2019 07:25 PM

It took the Partick board until Wednesday this week to sack Caldwell.

Maybe, we’ll wait to be knocked out of the cup before he goes.

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 22-09-2019 07:25 PM

If we are knocked out of the cup midweek and he's in charge for Celtic, we will be murdered on Saturday. Now seems the perfect opportunity to save our season - ahead of the cup game. We all know what is coming for the manger, so timing is of the essence.

Quite. And I suspect a decent manager might get more out of the existing squad than the current incumbent so cash may not be such an issue.

**OstKurve Hibs** · 22-09-2019 07:26 PM

Anyone confirm if there was protests after the game or not ? Mate text me saying he saw there had been protests on sportscene

But that's just speculation. There is no evidence that the board are sticking by Heckingbottom - I suspect it is about timing. I'd like him gone now - but they might wait until the international break.

Either way I suspect calls are being made as we speak.
