When do you think this should have been 23? I personally think every chairman over the last 50 years has been a failure using the oft quoted criteria. No SC no league titles (not counting 1st Div). At least Petrie managed to build us something unlike the vast majority before him.

Not a bad point LA. But when you say build us something you mean stadium? Because we haven't had much else have we. I want to say again Petrie done well laying the foundations but has now taken us as far as possible. We need fresh ideas now and a new board. Petrie has made far to many mistakes lately so for me needs to go.

Kind of thought we may be in for him given his past however you would have thought there would be a massive gap in wages even between a EPL reserve and Hibs though the prospect of regular games must be attractive.

Murphy is 3rd choice at QPR so will surely be looking to get some games after 1 season of inactivity already and no prospect of improvement in his final year. Although he signed for them when they were promoted I still reckon he could get a similar wage at a championship club and more chance of a game which would be double what we could offer. He turned down a new deal at Ipswich to join QPR so might not be short of better offers.

Worth a try though Patrick.

Yep, onwards and upwards. I wonder if Colin Murdock's available...

**patch1875** · 14-06-2012 03:31 PM

Hope it not the case heard it from a former hearts player still connected to the club

The infrastructure we now have will last for generations. My argument has always been infrastructure before product. Those who know what I do for a living would understand that. There is no point me having 7,500 people here if I don't have a fit for purpose camp for them to live in. ER was the same for me. It was no longer fit for purpose, and I know certain people will be along to disagree and that is fine, but that is my opinion. The opportunities had in my opinion to be taken and the stand and training ground built. Now we have them in place we have no need for expenditure (apart from running costs) for these areas. That any football team, never mind Hibs, had to drive around to find a public park to train on is shocking. Cannot dispute we had better teams when we did it mind, but the point still stands. We can now spend all our hard earned on the team. I think that was the plan all along. Unfortunately not all the plan worked as we did have a couple of managers who, again in my opinion, were not very good at either picking players or managing them. What does get up my goat is the Petrie bashing for not backing managers (not aimed at you). We spent the money, just not wisely. I have not a clue why, maybe blind optimism, but I think Fenlon can and will do what others before him could not.

3K for a leader of his calibre. Surely not to much to ask. Proved wot he was about last season.

IF true then it ain't a surprise !

C'mon Hibs show some ambition for f sake

I also heard that its a wind up from hertz fans just like oconnor was going to sign for them.From what i hear he is pondering moving to hibs but will do whats best for his family.(that from a guy who told me sergio was away and the cutbacks happening at the pbs weeks before it happened).Hes probably waiting to see who we sign before deciding.He has a contract at coventry so he can take his time.Nobody knows what he has been offered though i suspect it will involve very high win bonus incentives.we shall see but i would say there is a very good chance he will sign unless a big club comes in for him(and i dont mean hertz)

Good post, I actually agree 100%. I wasn't having a go about him failing there. I think he's done a very good job in laying the foundations and Hibs did need to get those facilities in place. I'm annoyed at the poor appointments and the way they conduct themselves at times by patronising the fans. They for me have taken us as far as they can. Now let someone else come in and bring in new ideas.

Heard he wants £3k a week and a 3 year year deal. That's what he wants, he wants to sign for Hibs and the club knows his terms. Yet we're still mucking about.

was a good keeper but maybe a bit small, he would have struggled with the cross shy defense we had last season.

Not sure he was offered a contract at ipswich and fairly sure he signed for QPR after training with them for a while so maybe he is not on that big money.

who's this Slovakian I've read a bit about here and there in the papers? He's been linked with us in the papers, think he's at Carlisle at the moment. Don't know much about him, that's why I'm asking.

So is it just your opinion that McPake has been offered what you say or is a "fact, end-off"?

That doesn't even make sense

My opinion was referring to general posting

What I was told regarding mcpake was a 'fact' from someone else not me

Happy with that?
