Players are always much better when they leave. He was bang average in the majority of games for us, and certainly wasn’t a leader.

Bartley wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference in this Hibs side.

I think Bartley was part of a pool of players who just clicked and got us. Guys like him, Fontaine and McGinn with no real connection to us totally bought into the club. The likes of Cummings had a swagger and a chip on his shoulder about how Hearts treated him. They were complimented by guys like McGregor and Hanlon who are Hibs through and through and there was a pretty talented supporting cast with McGeouch, Ambrose et al.
It looked like a team that was fun to be a part of and when you see the interviews of the Time For Heroes documentary it was a team that trusted each other as teammates.
I'm not sure the current side really has a personality on display on or off the park. A lot of the fun things and camaraderie that linked fans and players from that era is missing at the moment (obviously the current situation explains part of that but it predates covid). I felt like I knew McGinn, McGeouch and Bartley; I'm not sure I can say the same about Newell and Hallberg (both of whom have been 2 of our better performers this years so that's not a cheap dig).
Bringing Bartley back would be a pretty terrible idea. However I think we could do with a couple of players in the mould of Bartley and Fontaine. Guys who click with the fans and guys who give the impression playing for Hibs is more than just a job for them.

Jack Ross can become a really good manager if he can crack this. If it happens soon then we should get 4th and maybe take advantage if Aberdeen slip a bit. Cant remember if there is a Scottish Cup this season, but if so, it woiuld be a good time to get some togetherness in the squad.

One minute we want rid of the ‘old guard’ the next we’re trying to reunite Cummings, Bartley, Efe (who ****ed off at the first chance), Brown, Stubbs. As well going the whole way and getting Fyvie, Keatings and Stokes tae.

Efe was the one we really should have brought back, no matter what he wanted to do for training he is a big miss in that porous defence that we have. We should have gifted him a box of Cuban Cigars after every game.

Bartley wanted to leave. Sure we gave him every opportunity to stay. Could be wrong.

I liked Marvin, but it was his time to go. But Efe, he was the one I wish who stayed.

Bartley’s time at Hibs has gone bringing him back would be a mistake. He talks very well and appears to be a future coach or manager so maybe one day he might return but certainly not as a player.

Bartley was effective in a midfield where he had quality around him (and who all complimented each other in certain games).
Would add little to our midfield as it currently stands.

A sideways step instead of a forward one.

Said it many times. Ambrose in particular was fantastic for us and both him and Bartley should still both be Hibs players

I think the real problem though was that he wasn’t getting a consistent run of games and I always noticed with him that he needed 2/3 games to get himself in a groove.
Overall I can see why he was let go but it’s been shown to be 100 percent a mistake. He could definitely be doing a great job in this current team and pretty sure Jack Ross would have kept him and possibly Milligan too.
