Lyle Lanley Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) 30 minutes ago, Ludo*1 said: What an absolute dick Johnson is coming across is. Genuinely feels like he's angling for a pay off what with his comments about the board and Porteous the other day and now throwing half the team under the bus. And was he actually out on the lash the night before the derby or was that just a Hearts fan at the wind up? Either way, it just adds to the current optics. Fair enough saying stuff like that in private but to be airing this to the media is so small time. Sooner you lads get rid, the better. He has the next 3 games, lose them and he’s gone. Could see the cup game against Hearts turn nasty if we are losing. Fans have had enough at what’s going on at the club. I still believe we will finish in the bottom 2 this season.

philpy Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'm speaking as an outsider here, but I genuinely cannot see Johnson surviving after that outburst. If I spoke out against my bosses like that I'd be out of a job, and if my boss slagged me off in public or blanked me, I'd be off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie adie Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Its reminiscent of John Hughes when he was at Inverness at started to make statements against the club and top brass 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Tappin Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Also interesting to read that Hibs are returning to the Dempster era recruitment model. You know, the one that got us to cup finals, Europe and still wasn't good enough for the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I think Johnson has been regretting this move from quite early on. As far back as that League Cup group game interview when he was moaning about how amateurish it was to not have a Fourth Official. And his comments about the squad as the season has progressed show that he maybe hadn't quite done his homework before taking the job and didn't realise what he'd be working with. Hard to see him at the moment as anything other than someone looking for the bullet. All this stuff criticising the squad is reputation management for his interview in three months or so with Charlton or Portsmouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zing. Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Well it appears he’s somehow getting until Motherwell on Sunday at least. Makes no sense to me. Only hope is we are waiting to get this new structure in place then letting the new hires pick the next manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes almost definitely desperate to get sacked so he can scurry to the papers about how shite Scottish football is, to try and save his reputation in England. Be amazed if he doesnt label the entire league as some amateur, unprofessional, backwater the moment Hibs punt him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps with someone else's team though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he is another in a line of English based plonkers who simply dont do their homework and assume it will be a scoosh "up there". While the recruitment team at Hibs are also about to be removed and a new structure implemented, the manager has to carry some of the can for those players, and also his tactical errors, that starting lineup on Monday being the latest. His man management is appalling as well. I wouldnt worry too much about what he says, most of us have already switched off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 If not Johnson, who? Much as I love a derby win (GIRFU!), I feel for you guys. You seem to be in a bit of a bad spiral. It strikes me as there having been a lot of grass is greener - sacking Ross when not doing too badly, then giving Maloney zero time/support. Maloney at least actually cared. As others have pointed out, Johnson is very much coming across as out for himself now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 ‘Newell is a player that Hibs will look to rely on to create chances in the second half of the season. If strikers are making the right runs, he will find them.’ Em what 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
