Maloney / Hibs - Lee Johnson appointed ( Merged )

Very much doubt they will be paying off the entire contract for the 4 staff binned. There will be clauses that pay bonuses; qualify for top 6, qualify for Europe, qualify for a cup final, all gone at our hands inside a week! Also clauses that allow them to empty the 4 staff if such targets are not met. I'm guessing failing on the 3 counts above allows them to get punted with perhaps 6 months paid up.

 

Either way, it is delicious watching this unfold.

 

Karma my dear, take a bow, your work this season is almost done.

 

Also Karma dearest, please do make time to get around to delivering some medicine to McGregor at Ross C*nty...

 

Next season will be fine now.

 

 

That would be my guess too.  A 6 month buyout clause would be pretty normal I think.

If that Sun article is accurate (doubtful?) and the players overheard that heated exchange in the dressing room, some of those players will be looking to leave I reckon - which may not be a bad thing given how guff many of them are.
 

In essence, none of yesterdays events is gonna be good for team morale and there will be others who’s already shattered confidence will have taken another dunt.
 

Just what they need as the club enters another relegation battle.

To some extent relegation would be a good thing for them. They could get rid of the dross and almost start from scratch and try and build confidence by actually winning games.

Totally agree. Yet another 3+ seasons in the “Division of Dregs”, would allow them to re-group and prepare for running us close (but still losing) on the pitch and winning the singing contest.
 

I think I would start suffering withdrawal symptoms if it took them any longer to get promoted though.

Only reason they aren't is that Ron Gordon is a guid Scottish name ken? If the us based peruvian actually had a peruvian name the media would be all over him and his destruction of a scottish institution.

Only reason is because Ron hasn’t the balls Vlad had to speak out.

 

That and with Vlads money we could and perhaps should have won the league.

 

The press don’t give a **** who owns clubs when they are quiet and not challenging for league titles.

Martinez probably hasn’t noticed he has been away for 4 months so he will be back in the Belgium dug out at their next game doing what he does best, arranging cones and handing out bibs. The wee scone.

By my count we've had 18 permanent in that time.  Maybe someone can confirm?

And that's through the VR batshit, 2 ownership changes which both came with new managers, our admin, and then obv all the Levein nonsense and demotion.  Probably the most tumultous 20 years in our history.

 

While Hibs have banged on that whole time about how well they're run!!!!

I think what needs remembered is that their form doesn't even add up to the 2 or 3 wins they've achieved.  They played a totally ravaged Dundee United team and scraped a win and had some big luck in their other games too.  They've been the worst team in the league for a good few months.  That's not maroon.  Hibs mates saying it (though it has been apparent even just from highlights).

 

If they kept Maloney, they could've gone down.  They still could.

 

The fun thing here  though is actually how bad the entire setup is.  It wasn't just a bad appointment - those happen all the time - it's the fact their recruitment isn't connected to their manager, it's the fact Ron Gordon is feeling more and more like he's playing FM, it's that there is definite bad feeling throughout the club, with guys who've done good jobs leaving or being let go over the last year or two. Gordon has actually spent a bit of money (offset, yes, by the Boyle transfer which the article suggests he refused to reinvest), but it's all been wasted on shite and how long will he continue to do so before becoming frustated and bored?  It's the fact they've no sellable assets left (unless you include their land!).  It's all quite marvellous really.

I was in the merchants getting materials this morning and the guy is a right hibby. He reeled off pure drivel for about ten minutes it was utterly magnificent standing there grinning…

He was all over the place, Simms our only decent player, another 5 mins and they’d have won, was proud of them, we had loads of empty seats tae, Craig Gordon was a hibby, when Sauzee was there they went 11 in a row against us- can someone confirm that btw?! They had a wee spell then but I don’t remember that🤣🤣

What a wonderful 10 or so days it’s been watching those mutants implode…

He was slavering. It was 6, with only 2 of those wins.

Kris Commons - "constantly chopping and changing a manager is harmful. You end up in a constant cycle of transition. The squad ends up being ripped up every 12 months. There's no continuity or sense of identity when you have a trigger happy owner like Ron Gordon in charge"

At 2-0 I thought we were going to eclipse 06 and 12.

 

Never mind, Marv, we'll just have to be content with a narrow win, a Cup final, a summer signing spree, group stage Europe...it's a hard life, bud.

It's simply marvellous isn't it!  Have to admit I haven't had much of this - know a few hibbies but they're the minority type and all basically said, "aye we're pish, you deserved it, kept us at arms length" type thing.

 

One walloper I didn't know in the pub on Sat night who was a bit broken.  No aggression in him, just the usual, even when the play us off the park, they can't beat us.  I told him, they probably would if they ever did!

Hibs' unbeaten runs during the era of our 12, 17 and 22 without defeat (Hearts score first. I just couldn't do it from their pov):

88/89  D 0-0

17-18    L 0-1

             D 0-0

 

We're on 6 at the moment and have also had other runs of 5+ but a "long" unbeaten run in the derby has a different meaning to Hearts fans.

hearing during the lead up to the semi final hibs players had a fall out due to the likes of mueller, melkerson and hauge earning much more than those who have been there for years and not living up to the wages

Can't help feeling that players like David Gray and Lewis Stevenson have told Ron Gordon and his associates that Maloney had no tactics in the semi apart from injuring Hearts players.

Still there and has been sat in the stand with the CEO for their last few games which is kind of odd for a so called academy director (as has Scott Brown, who without Maloneys knowledge/approval had apparently been offered a coaching role for next season).

I would simply say to that Hibby loser "You seem to be paying a lot of attention to Hearts and Hearts players.  It's nice to see that we're living rent-free in your head. Personally, I don't give a shit about Hibs.  They're irrelevant."
