Miller Jambo 60 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 talk of 'sack the board' talk of 'sack the manager' talk of 'season ticket boycotts' talk of 'demonstrations' "enough is enough" apparently. not quite sure what their expectations are, or indeed if those expectations are in any way realistic... but the weekly installment of the jungle drums of doom have begun. internet hobos are settling in for a saturday evening of soul searching. Phoned my wifes brother(Hibee) and hes really racked off. They will impload very soon. Dougstar. im a yam and proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardiac Rucksack Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hibs will not improve from their current predicament until their support realise that the rat is central to everything that is wrong with their tinky little football club. But hes "wan eh us". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Meldrew Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think everyone has quite rightly been impressed with the way Hibs have steadied the ship financially and finished off the development of their stadium. However, they are now at risk of entering a downward spiral. On the pitch they are rubbish, which (as can be seen from yesterday) deters the fans from coming, thereby causing more financial pressure. That, in turn, requires them to cut costs and or sell players (if there are any worth selling now) and therefore further weakening the team and probably leading to even lower attendances and less money...

I would have been more impressed if it had made a blind bit of difference to their fortunes on the field. It didn't though - it might even have made things worse for them - so I'm not. If living with debt is what brings you a season like the one we're having, so be it. I'm fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawick Jambo Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm sorry but I couldn't stay on there any longer. It just didn't seem right However I loved this reply as part of the debate. They still cling onto their delusions......... Strange question when it's you who is setting the agenda for change. You are twisting my words, I didn't say YOU were a Yam, I said open letters are Yammish. Different things. Why would I redirect the question to Sir Tom? I happen to think that Petrie has done well over a 10 year period, he's got it wrong with the last two bosses, but the club is in a healthy state, and is going through one of those transitions that happen when one great team is dismantled and there is no replacement. I just worry that an army of fans, who know squat about business, and even less about football, are going to force a change without anything better to put in its place. If change is needed I would prefer it was done by people who are able to take a longer term view of things than what has happened in the last 12 months (not getting at you there). Fan power would have brought us Brian Kennedy, it brought Mad Vlad to the PBS, and is one of the most dangerous forces in football. I feel like I am p*ssing against Niagra at times, as I know the empty barrels will have their day, and will be nowhere to be found when things go tits up.

FFS this reminds me of the Aldi recruitment Adverts. "Situations Vacant - Thrusting Top Class Graduates required to join our exciting Graduate Programme! Join the team at Aldi managing one of our state of the art Supermarkets in suburbia across the UK. Competitive salary offered iro ?35k plus Audi TT". Once you start, reality bites as you discover you are on the checkout, stocking shelves and dealing with irate customers complaining about the fact that your checkout operators have thrust your yogurts so quickly straight back into your trolley, they have burst all over your cheap foreign imported canned goods. Just about sums up the Vermin - they really are the Aldi of the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The scottish media are being very quiet about the crisis at fester rd Possibly been asked to keep things quiet on that front just now, given the financial "guru" behind the drive for a 10 team SPL league appears to be none other than dear old Rod Petrie. The SPL wouldn't want the papers printing anything about decay down Easter Road way at the same time as said guru was providing the financial reasons for going to a 10 team league. It's a bit like shooting yourself in the foot I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
