What a mess again with things on the pitch, looking like another manager change could be on the cards unless a miracle.
Looking at another rebuild with the playing squad, yes things might have improved financially off the field but on the field yet again not acceptable with the funds we now have at our disposal.
Have seen a few saying for Foley to get rid of BK and rest again, something I would be in favour of.

I would only reduce rangers if we equally reduce celtic two cheeks of a bigoted arse. Will cost a huge amount for our principals though and I doubt we'll match it with fans, even if the vocal I'll not be back crowd come back

The mood around the club has been getting worse for years now, he is leading our club nowhere.
Get him and his monstrous salary OUT

I rarely criticise as a) I generally think people need time b) it’s destructive and given the resources the club has success is far from easy.
However, I am underwhelmed by Ben Kensell and sadly I don’t think Ian Gordon is a leader.
Kensell is an administrator with little sign of leadership. Sure some issues have been handled well off the field but on the field very weak. Similarly while I think the Gordon’s have been good for Hibs sadly I am not convened by Ian.
If you watch the interview when Montgomery was hired both Ben and Ian fail to show leadership. They pass the buck on his appointment rather than leading from the front with confidence. It’s but one example but telling in my view.
The harsh reality is our new minority shareholder will be unlikely to stand for mediocrity and he will have his own view on Kensell. If he stays perhaps there is more to him that seems apparent to me from afar. But I suggest change is on the way.

ER has a genuine fire drill 75/80 mins EVERY week, regardless of the score. Most of the crowd are long gone by FT. There is no affinity / bond between fan and players. No atmosphere at all.
Stunned that you think the mood currently is better than under Stubbs / Lennon.

It may come across as if I’m a huge fan of Kensell, but I’m not. I’m as frustrated as anyone at the poor football decisions we’ve been making. I’ll repeat myself though, at our level there is an element of risk in appointing any manager. I’m my 50+ years supporting Hibs I’ve lost track of all the managers we’ve had but it’s fair to say very few of them have been good appointments. I will never understand the Johnson appointment but I totally get why they went for Maloney and Monty.
If, as is looking very likely, we punt Monty and get it right with his replacement a lot of the noise around Kensell will fade away imo. It’s clearly not perfect but what we are doing under him (and IG) is spending money on the football side that we never have before.

People talk like this £6 million investment is gonna change everything. If you add our losses from last year together with failing to make top 6 and Europe this year then you all but wipe that £6 million out.

I think you’re well aware that the matchday experience has been on the wane for years.

There’s a big difference between a bad atmosphere on the one hand and creeping indifference on the other. There is zero excitement around Hibs this season and that’s simply a reflection of how the club is: the CE, the manager, the captain, the team, all exude a low level lack of intensity.
Incoherent is the word I would use to describe our club’s collective psyche at the moment.

There’s not a single institution of any sort whose success or failure isn’t ultimately determined by the quality of its leadership. That’s where the power always lies. It’s either exercised well or badly, or alternatively it just isn’t exercised at all.
There are two people in leadership positions at our club, the person called Chief Executive and the person who is the real Chief Executive. That’s where the root of our problems sit.

Should never have survived the Maloney shambles.
Get him, The Gordons, Montgomery and McDermott out of this club and we might have half a chance of retaining some sort of soul.
Right now, we are nothing more than a “Sports Franchise”.
