    Massive Changes Required

    With new investment coming in from BF, there now has to be massive change in all football activities at the club. And that doesn't just mean sacking the Manager.

    McDermott is apparently leaving and BK and IG need to be taken completely out of all activities involving player or Manager recruitment.

    We need new leadership and attitude in the football department at the club. So much is wrong at present.

    Otherwise BF's investment is going to be p1ssed up the wall.

    Do these people not see results / performances ?

    As a club we have stagnated and maybe even regressed these last 5 years. Massive issues at the club and I don’t trust anyone there to bring in the right manager and players. Disgrace all round both on and off the pitch

    Montgomery, Kensell, McDermott & the Gordons.
    All of them need emptied.
    We are a laughing stock.

    Starting at the very top, preferably.

    It is a real mess. Montgomery has done nothing to justify staying as manager.

    From what I hear, McDermott is going and apparently up to 15 players leaving/being advised to find a new club.

    If McDermott is going who is putting in place the plans for next season. Kensell & Ian Gordon? If so, we are totally ****ed.

    As I've said before, for as long as Kensell & Ian Gordon remain key decision makers at the club, it's going to continue to be the same cr*p in the future.

    Where is all the McDermott leaving chat coming from ? I’m not expecting him to be going anywhere.

    We need to rip up the football plan and start again from scratch. It's not working. There is no identity, no connection, no enjoyment and most importantly no sign of any success.

    That doesn't have to be a long winded process that takes years and years. If fans see progress then they'll give it a bit of time. The impatience and anger right now is coming from the fact there is no sign of progress at all.

    Bottom 6 is just unacceptable for Hibs, there is almost no excuse for it.

    Bottom 6 for 2nd time in 3 seasons.

    It’s simply not acceptable.

    The management, lack of leadership and awful recruitment from this club is making us worse every week.

    We have wasted millions on managers and players.

    It’s simply not good enough and not one fan should be accepting this - it’s a total failure in all departments.

    We need an improved recruitment team - new manager - new goalkeeper (possibly x2) - new club captain - new back line - new left footed winger - new central striker and that's just a start. We also need to get rid of the dead wood and players who take a wage but contribute nothing.

    All our targets have been missed, there needs to be consequences for this and the fans need to be engaged...2k at Motherwell, wow so good....start with firing Nick Montgomery and bring in Michael ONeil.....

    Sadly, we'll change face again with yet another manager and set of players giving fans yet another sense of false optimism. But they'll be instructed to do exactly the same things as the current and previous crop of failures. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results....

    Gut the squad. No more the case for our key players being that they are the “least of our problems”. Players like McGinn, McGeough, Allan, McGregor, prime Boyle etc were all talked up on merit. Not their case for being they aren’t as poor as others.

    It is utter failure, but for all the angry posts tonight - someone will be along soon to say things aren't that bad. Unfortunately there is little real pressure from the supporters on those running the club, when they should be under intense pressure. The stewardship of the Club since the Gordons came on the scene has been an almost unmitigated disaster.

    My own conversation with him would suggest he'll be away in the summer.

    The footballing department has been absolutely diabolical since the Gordons have taken over.

    I decided a couple months back that I'll not be renewing my season ticket next year, I don't enjoy going to ER anymore and it feels like a waste of time. Going to put my time and money into something else at the weekends where my enjoyment is not reliant upon the efforts of a group of powderpuff players and underperforming owners.

    I absolutely will be back in the future, but I don't see it being any time soon.

    I’ve said before, we need something like what’s happening at Man United with Ineos; let the minority investors run the football operations.

    We need to clean house. Too many of the same people and the same players have been around and failed under multiple different managers now. We can absolutely expect an improvement under a new man, but equally if we keep mostly the same squad that got the last one (or more!) sacked, how much can we expect?

    Ben Kensell should be the first to get ****ed out the door, take his sunbed subscription and his sooped up BMW 1 Series with him. Absolute WELT.

    Och don’t worry, Jake Doyle Hayes will play a game post split before another injury, getting another nice long summer holiday, then feel a wee twinge before pre-season starts 😂 that lad’s hourly rate must be in five figures 😂

    100% the same.

    Even with a new manager - we need new players and progress to get me back and spending ££ on Hibs.

    The fans deserve so much better - this isn't any fans fault - it's absolute **** show from those running the club in management positions.

    Too many failures at the club on the pitch - Newell etc and management. We need leaders - winners and people who understand the club. Not lip service and new hospitality.

    Hospitality will be empty at this rate and looking at the ST map it's obvious many are voting by not buying until improvement is shown on the pitch - not all the media guff they post / send out.

    All equally as bad as each other

    Foley will have a plan in place 100%. He will think out the box to get our club going again. We need an innovative manager to bring some decent football back to Easter Road

  28. #27
    He’s also managed to make LJ look even better as LJ got us top 6 and into Europe - plus won a derby.

    Mad.

    I hope so but just look at Lorient under Foley not promising

    Manager needs to go as well as 80% of the squad, many of which have been here now through several failed managers.

    Shocking performance today as has been the case for the majority of this season and last.

    Hopeless. Spineless. Leaderless.

    Bill Foley will undoubtedly be the chief decision maker at the club from now on with the Gordon’s being the “front” - I’ve absolutely no doubt about that.
