...a bit disco Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Backed to the hilt by The Tache! Hibs chairman Rod Petrie backs manager Pat Fenlon Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie has given his backing to manager Pat Fenlon at a meeting of supporters. Fenlon is under pressure after a 9-0 aggregate defeat by Malmo in the Europa League qualifiers and one point out of nine in the Scottish Premiership. Hibs said on their website the meeting with fans was "challenging, but held in a spirit of respect and courtesy". And Petrie was reported to have said Fenlon would be given "every opportunity" to improve performances. "Hibernian supporters are passionate about their team and their club," read the statement on the website. "They want only the best for Hibernian. That passion is shared by the board and everyone at the club. "Supporters were understandably critical of performances and results, particularly against Malmo at home and at Tynecastle in the Edinburgh Derby [against Hearts]. "The second leg [7-0 defeat] against Malmo in the Europa League was a nightmare. No-one took any pleasure from the match and everyone shared the embarrassment of our worst ever result in Europe. "The chairman acknowledged the depth of feeling as something he shared. The club could only apologise once more. "The group agreed the manager has assembled a talented group of players this season. "The chairman said the board and the club are keen to give the players and the manager every opportunity to deliver improved performances and through that, win matches. He told the meeting that we need to get better." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23790123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...a bit disco Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Indeed. Check out this report 'allegedly' from tonights meeting! Originally Posted by lucky Ok, just in. The meeting lasted 2 1/2 hours. 10 fans there along with Rod and David Forsyth. A full and frank discussion took place in a orderly manner. Here are the main points I took from the meeting. Hibs know communication is poor with media and fans both will improve going forward. Hibs will release a statement on tonight's meeting. A further 2 Q&As in the next 2 weeks. These meetings were not triggered by the planned protest. Hibs reviewing policy on responding to emails. PF has 100% support of the board and never had 2 games to save his job. He is the hardest working manager we have had in a while and is very keen on youth development and takes a big interest in the academy. LoB has left but Hibs could not make a comment due to contractual issues. JN has been a breath of fresh air. Both these decisions were PF. No plans to have a DoF or CEO PF remains first team coach/ manager he has a contract based on sucess but its a contact with many clauses. Hibs have a squad to compete at the top of the table, but its very early in the season. Managerial appointments are made by taking soundings from senior football people in the game. PF was highly regarded. Hibs don't have a policy of managers living in Edinburgh or Scotland. Previously lost out on highly regarded manager because wanting him to live in Edinburgh. Smaller clubs only have short term sucess before falling short again money talks in football long term. Hibs are working to a 5 year plan, still big plans for East Mains and ER. Hibs have more ST holders this year than last. Malmo game was painful for everyone at the club and not good enough. RP choose not release a statement to press because he wanted to discuss it directly with supporters. RP works virtually full time on Hibs during transfers windows but generally works half his working week on Hibs. STF still has no involvement in the running of the club. Hibs are not reliant on STF cash. Accounts will be published on the 29/0/813 will prove this. Hibs have not had an overdraft for 5 years. Hibs are still up for sale if someone can take the club forward. Hibs board will consider suggestion of ST holders electing a Non Executive Director. James Collins was not ?200k and signed before the Malmo game. JC tweeted he was a Hibs player before we had an agreement with Swindon. Lots of discussion about tactics with most fans having their say on this and PF. Rod only commented that we all want to pick a team but PF knows his players and they support him. I'm sure others that were there will post there take on the evening. Once again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are close to ?8m in debt but had a bank balance of ?2m which was reducing each year.

According to Hibby chums of mine, the mortgages are 'offsheet' and not 'classed' as part of the debt. In short........We have no money to pay his compensation. He's out of contract at the end of season apparently. They'll wait until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
