Craig Levein.   Colin Calderwood, Matt Docherty, Morelos to start with.  My dislike of him is mainly down to him being a totally garbage manager. 

I'm surprised with Levein and Morelos, well not too surprised. For me they're more on the level of comic villains, enemies but generally make the league quite fun. Calderwood and Docherty I can understand though, never wanted to be here and that's criminal.

Most of our loan signings in the January transfer window of 2012.

Think Claros is the only one I didn't end up hating... actually take that back, Towell wasn't too bad either

Claros was one I always felt was underrated, if he hadn’t been surrounded by utter guff he’d have had a smashing career with us, used to love watching him play.

I do recall a scout that got sacked when Butcher came in tweeting that Butcher had ripped up a pre-contract that we’d agreed with him and if true, one of the worst decisions the club made in that era and that is bloody well saying something 😂.

Aye Claros was decent for us.

@Les Cabbage and @Hoose Rice. Come on lads. I actually like both your posts and respect you as posters. Let’s not descend into Jambo nonsense.

Aye lads, take a wee chill pill or I will send you both to sit thru the (worst thing I have seen in my entire life and that includes Johnsons Hibs) fringe show we saw yesterday as penance. 😁

What was the name of this show?

Don't get me started on Butcher. Never ever a manager that could work at Hibs with his cod psychology bollocks. God knows why but the fans never turned on him. I got pelters from mates for saying he was a dud. They had all been banging away on Hibs net saying get Butcher after Fenlon walked with us in 6th position.

I started hearing things about his "methods" after his first week at training. Him and that idiot Malpas screaming at the players in training telling them to get "corners and throw ins lads". The frankly unforgiveable dropping of Kevin Thomson until it was too late. Thomson being one of the few players in that load of old dross of a squad that could pass a ball or hold it and and not waste it. His employment of that so called "superscout" fat goalkeeping coach who spent more time stuffing his face and chasing skirt than ever coaching any player.  Then there was his his bullying of younger players like Sam Stanton and the unfortunate Alex Harris who was frequently pinned up against the dressing room wall with Butcher screaming in his face. This destroyed his confidence. Add to that, in that playoff with Hamilton as far as I'm concerned he threw 17 year old Jason Cummings under a bus. 

The week after relegation Leeann Dempster arrived and she asked him to show her his plans for the club (they involved signing a load of English non league crap) and she bulleted him. For that action alone she has my eternal gratitude.

Lee Johnson has doubled down on his accusation Hibs were lazy on Sunday – and used Will Fish as damning evidence.

Johnson went on the attack in the aftermath of the 3-2 defeat to St Mirren on the opening day, insisting his stars didn’t do enough. And he has refused to back down ahead of the Europa Conference League clash against Luzern at Easter Road.

Johnson, who could hand £700,000 striker Dylan Vente a debut, said: “No one goes out to be lazy but fatigue makes cowards of us all. I thought for the third goal Will Fish could’ve got back in quicker. I looked on the GPS because I’m psychotic like that and he ran at 82 per cent of his maximum. So I asked him if a lion had been behind him, how much of his maximum would he have gone and he said 103 per cent, which I thought was quite funny.

“But it proves you have to do the work early and honestly. Will’s one of the most honest players we’ve got, he’s never shirked anything, but on that occasion he’s either underestimated the opponent’s opportunity and thought he could amble in or fatigue’s stopped him going as fast as he can. It’s about motivation and how much you want to get there.

“I don’t do it to dig anyone out and punish them. We have to learn from this. Will Fish is an example, he has to get in the rhythm of us, he came to us quite late from Manchester United where he didn’t have to run back in pre-season games. The bit I enjoy is looking back and actually coaching. It hurts badly but you get back on the horse and hopefully become a stronger team.”

Not sure about digging out our only competent centre back in the the press but whatever.
