The stadium appears to be even further away than ever, he's overseen 3 absolutely cluster fucks of managers and the style of football has not improved in the slightest since he decided to undermine McInnes and get rid of the only stability we have had in years. We can argue the McInnes point to death again but I'm firmly in the camp that we would be a far superior side if he was still in charge. I know the usual suspects will be foaming at the mouth at that assessment but tbh I don't really care. We're becoming a laughing stock. Part of me feels that we cannot keep hiring and firing managers every year but at the same time we cannot continue to perform as we are. I have zero faith that he'll get the next appointment correct either. Ultimately it's a decision and process that is coming as I can't see anything changing under Robson. 5 Link to comment

Your right with everything above. I 100% agree mcinnes had to go at time, but we would 100% be better off had he still been here, I have no doubts about that. Link to comment

Hindsight is great but we had the chance to pull trigger in enough time to protect european qualification. It was a sound basis at the time and paid for the change of manager Link to comment

The only thing i would credit Cormack for is his Park, but at the end of the day, it’s conversely ended up making us worse. But to be fair, if it wasn’t for Cormack, we’d still be training at Balgownie or The Barracks. Other than that, his reign has been a total clusterfuck. Link to comment

Johnnyred1 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I remember the board getting excited that we would attract better players and the facility would improve performances. I said at the time that it didn't stop Hibs getting relegated. Unfortunately, our budget is on par with hundreds of other clubs and we are all fighting over the same ordinary scraps that are leftover. Sometimes we get a good morsel or two but never enough for a consistent period of success. Link to comment
Chester Don Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I literally just want Robson out, even if we had to forgone any-one coming in at all.  I cannot stand watching my club any more, I care deeply, but hate hate hate watching the demise beyond mediocrity into the pits of pathetic anti football we are being forced to endure right now.  I don’t know what it’s going to take to get him out, but the contempt we are being treated to by our supposed FMB is beyond acceptable, and every wise commentator or obeservant of the beautiful game can see the current and continued demise of our great club and all are wondering why the hell is nothing being done to stop this slippery slide, absolutely passionate Don but like others rapidly becoming ambivalent, this is an incredibly dangerous place to be for our club.  Link to comment

That should have zero implication as to whether Robson gets the boot or not. Duff/Hayes/Anderson v Hearts as caretakers, a Lennon or suchlike as caretaker for the Dundee game and the foreseeable future (end of the season, in reality) then a proper qualified and experienced guy comes in as permanent boss after that. Simples. 2 Link to comment

sigh Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just now, Tommy said: Imagine the reaction if he was appointed. Tempered by the relief that we got rid of Robson, steady the ship and perhaps have us fighting for points again - negative reaction would subside if we started to win games again Maybe a temp position until end of the season, if he was willing to accept that Link to comment

Invest in a good manager. Its doubtful you'll get a full time manager in at such short notice. The alternative is extending the tenure of the youth coach, or whoever it is that takes the Hearts game, which is surely not an option. All this is bollocks anyway as Robson will be there to pick his nose on the touchline at Tynie.  Link to comment

You and me? Unless the FMB have been very proactive, and have discussed the possibility that Robson needs removed, and have some fucker already lined up, then it simply has to be one of the youth academy coaches. Or, Robson. You choose 1 Link to comment
