Another sacking? Don't think he needs a full season out the way to ditch some driftwood? 

Just seems Hibs keep sacking managers and appointing more of the same quality.

No, he's made the team he inherited even shiter with better players added in January, an utter failure of a manager.  We sacked Brent for not doing well enough and brought in the Yorkshire Stephen Kenny.

From the small amount I've seen, he's tried to implement a style that didn't suit his squad.

So many managers make this mistake that it baffles me.

It amazes me that he passed the interview "so Monty do you think you will get better out this squad and play to their strengths?"  Na mates (fake aussie twang) I need shree windows....f**k off.

You're last point is very well explained. Point taken!

Talking of the League Cup group stages, it reminds me of the last time we were in that, first home match it was roasting - me and a mate had been for a few beers, sunnies on and getting burnt in the East.

We subbed on Bojang and after 30 seconds we looked at each other and went "this guy must have won a prize draw to play". 

Of course that period also ended with the signed/not signed/ mistake with Rockys registration and being penalised in the LC group as he played when suspended 😆.

Is hoping for a less shambolic summer too much to ask?

Was that Bonnyrigg mate?  

What a fucking shambles all that turned out to be - it's not actually got much better since.

Media reporting at the time of the Foley deal said the following.

"The SFA’s articles on dual interest state that nobody who is involved in the management or administration of a club, or has any power to manage or influence the management or administration of a club should be able to do so for another club."

I'm not down with the details here. Did the SFA change that section of the articles, or are Hibs now just quite clearly flaunting the rules?

If we're going to go down the road of allowing this kind of thing, then it needs to be codified rather than it now just becoming acceptable for clubs to pick and choose which rules of the governance of our game they follow.

ETA: I see the deal included the following:

This approval has been granted subject to written undertakings, signed by the club, which among other commitments ensure:

  • Shareholding from the interested party, Black Knight Football and Entertainment [BKFE], does not exceed 29.99%.
  • That the agreement with the interested party does not preclude the club from participating in any UEFA competition it qualifies for due to BKFE’s interest in any other clubs.

So, basically it's option B now. The dual interest section is essentially a dead duck.

A concerning development.

The whole thing seems to bother you more than it does anyone else on this forum mate.   Unsure as to why you give a shit so much.

Outlined at length why previously.

I find it equally baffling that so many supporters are happy to be cavalier with the future of their club.

Similar to people who aren't bothered about Livingston finding it strange that I object to them.

Governance of football matters. Scottish football has come through all kinds of problems relating to how our clubs have been run over the years, and I think this is a potentially reckless move, and potentially a very difficult to solve problem for the future.

Cool mate, it wasn't a go, just mystifies me.

You hope it's a reckless move that provides difficult problems in the future, lets be honest about that though. :)

I personally think it's a good thing, the proof will be in the pudding very soon though.  Partly wishful thinking on my part I admit.  I also believe the Gordons have the right intentions for our club and they would do anything not to tarnish Ron's legacy.  If it was actually Ron Gordon entering this partnership for the club I would actually be more apprehensive.

If Hearts enter into a deal like Hibs have, I'll honestly never be back.

Did you go under Romanov when you guys were effectively his toy and all you could do was hope and pray he had good intentions as the alternative to Tynie being Cala flats?

I was a teenager when Vlad turned up at Hearts. My view on the world is very different now. It's also a very different situation. He was a dodgy geezer rather than the issue of what Hibs have entered into.

And you actually touch on an interesting point there. Hearts had no choice. We were fucked, basically. Hibs have entered into this with no real need to do so.

Anyway. All been gone over before.

That's understandable mate. 

True, it's because of that I have confidence it will be in the best interests of the club.  We might sign players by mistake then get knocked out cups by playing them when suspended, hire shite managers and go from one farce to the next on the pitch but off the pitch all signs since the Gordons took over suggest they know exactly what they are doing in expanding the club commercially, and they make solid business decisions.  We aren't becoming a feeder club as part of a group remember, they have a minimal amount of shares within the club and our majority shareholders will simply not allow that to happen. 

Anyways as you said we have been all over the stuff previously and im fucking scunnered with Hibernian until after the summer.

I'm looking forward to the same thing happening in the League Cup group stages again.
