Don’t think so. I think Fenlon was the pressure being on the team that won the most derbies or something like that. To which, Sergio replied “Fine, let us keep winning and put all the pressure on us”.

Complete roaster.  So winning all the time is not the preferred option then? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Makes no sense at all. If everything was rosy and they were constantly winning everything would be well!

I asked the question of a Hibs fan at my work...

 

If you still had Stubbs, Lennon or Ross as your manager, would you still be signing these players?

 

The answer was naw.

 

Puppets in charge and with Ron the Con saying he's trying to copy Lawwell's method of buying and selling for a massive profit...they're in big trouble.

 

Especially signing players like Titty Bojangles from Zippy FC.

What a load of tripe.  Results are irrelevant, any decent manager worth their salt should still see the squad for what it is.

FWIW, here's my take on Hibs atm. They're at a bit of a crossroads, which could go either way at the minute, but is essentially a baw hair away from spiralling down a road of chaos once again.

 

Fans generally judge 3 aspects of their club, the board, the manager and the players. When you look at all 3 of them, none of them are particularly safe, or blameless. 

 

Ron Gordon has been in charge for 3 years now, and while he didn't promise overnight success, he did seem to have big plans to make Hibs a force in Scotland. The 2020/21 campaign wasn't bad by any means with a 3rd place finish, although they did perhaps blow not one, but two chances to win silverware. Aside from that, its 2 bottom 6 finishes. Another miserable season and fans will be really seeing through his plans, albeit some already are. He's clearly a good businessman, who's done some good off the park for the club, but he's ****ed it by having idiots (plus his own son) in charge of the 'footballing' matters. Biggest mistake he made in my eyes was not keeping Dempster around. 

 

Then there's the manager. A man who pockets of Hibs fans didn't want in the first place. A competent manager of which I have no doubt, but he comes right in on the back of Maloney, who similarly wanted to play some mad style of football. There is absolutely no guarantee that he is the right man for the job, and bad early results vs lower league opposition in the League Cup certainly hasn't done him any favours. He needs to start the season strong.

 

Then finally, there's the players. Many of which are the same players that ultimately let them down last season and aren't exactly favourites down Lochend. Then the newbies. I'm sure we're all in agreement that their recruitment has been scattergun at best. The only 2 on paper who make complete sense to me is the Croatian left back and David Marshall. Other than that, they're all risks. Question is, well thought out risks who actually fit in to the club? Or economic signings made by Gordon Jr with only his Dad's pockets at heart, in the hope that one of them might come good.

 

The next few months are pretty crucial down there I'd say. If they have a decent season, then I'm sure all will be rosey again, but if they struggle from the get go, I can see Hibs fans revolting in their droves. And judging by their first 4, there's every chance that could happen.

Agree with all of that but would like to seek clarification on what you consider a drove?  Do they have droves to revolt??  Perhaps "revolt in their drabs"?

This guy claiming that if their squad is fully fit and committed then that would be their business done had be howling with laughter.

 

If they think that their squad, which is about.....35 strong? At the moment is good enough as it is to even survive relegation then I know I'm in for a season of laughter.

 

After last season they should be kicking the door down at Easter Road demanding that the squad is overhauled down to the bones and rebuilt.

 

Instead they scattergun it once more and once more like always, they have hibsed it.

Thing is, they are raving about him in a below mediocre team that couldn't beat Morton and have already gone out of the league cup not because he was ineligible but because they were shite. 

 

I can genuinely see them being relegation candidates.

Honestly think they look worse than last season.I think Maloney knew they were bad defensively and that's why he had them keeping possession without trying to do to much with it.Johnson has them pressing/chasing leaving gaps everywhere and they look so easy to pick off.

 

I'm willing to bet Marshall is chipped at least once this season as well as against Morton he was always miles outside his box.

They played with two teams first half team was the first team and the 2nd half was their much talked about (by them and Ron) development team. According to a Hibs fan at work the 2nd half team looked better than the actual first team.
