Met him twice. Once just outside Ally Pally and once at the Circus Tavern when we accidently blocked his car in. He was great and spent about 15 minutes chatting to us. He called Helen Chamberlain over to talk to us as well, probably because we had similar accents...! In my experience a top man and without doubt the best player to ever toe the oche.

He's not changed... 14h ago 19:42 Johnson vows to clear out 'dead wood' at Hibernian Lee Johnson admits he is "sick to death of the mediocrity" at Hibernian after they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat away to city rivals Hearts. It was a ninth defeat in 11 Scottish Premiership games for Hibs and an eighth Edinburgh derby in a row without victory, and Johnson, who took over as manager in the summer, has vowed to clear out the "dead wood" within his squad. "The ball was like a hot potato and to be honest I'm sick to death of the mediocrity. We need to move players out in January. "This is a wonderful club full of potential, with a great fanbase, good training base and a brilliant stadium and it deserves more. We need to make way better decisions all over the place because today showed exactly where we are. "We need outs. The outs are as important as the ins. Again the mediocrity we have got - I'm just being honest now. I'm in a place where I have to come out swinging. I'm not disrespecting players, but decisions have not been good enough (on recruitment) and we need to be better. "We can't keep being average at best. For a club like this, it's just not good enough. Everyone needs to tell themselves some home truths. It feels like a big club because of the media, the scrutiny, we are in Edinburgh, there's two clubs in Edinburgh. "But act like a big player then within a big club and have that bottle to go and produce, not just in training but in games." "We have got to do more, and part of that is a revolution now, not just an evolution. "I think the actual revolution is about getting the dead wood out and increasing the quality."

They can take Chris Martin off our hands.

You reckon we signed Sykes on bigger wages than Dasilva…?!

“Did you go ballistic when Pep caked Kalvin Philips fat?“ Pep caked him fat? He’s only got himself to blame then…

Weird Al..?

The FFS was in response to your rather juvenile offering "Pearson 'love-in' brigade" As for the rest, if you, or anyone else on here, honestly believes that this current squad is in anyway stronger than any squad that LJ had during his reign, well, words fail me.

Good news. Pleased for you Netty Now **** off, we're all having a row!!

Really? Given the resources available to the two of them, is it any surprise. FFS.

Like the one NP is currently undertaking? If the next one to try a rebuild doesn't do it quickly enough, do we bin him off and try another rebuild? As for Gerrard, why not suggest Pottechino or Thomas Tuchel. Both about as likely.

Not really, just confirms what we have been doing. Information also relayed by Richard Gould at the fans forum.

Seems to be the trendy thing on here to dislike Mardle. I don’t mind him.

Wow Mensur.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he walks into our club shop...

It shows you don’t have a clue where the real problem lies. Hint - Who sanctions all these shite managers?

Wasn’t the profitable season enhanced because the Kelly sale was brought forward? We did get some big money in for players but it was sell one buy 4. The wage bill thus spiralling out of control. Amazing this context is lost on so many.

Not only plausible but almost certainly inevitable.

Tough job for a 19 year old kid to carry a team.

Don’t worry about people who don’t know shit from pudding.

As I said, given the resources available he failed. You’re entitled to your opinion, it’s not one that’s shared by many, but you’re welcome to own it.

You included him in the 4. If you don’t want people to pick apart your points, don’t include a failure. You’re correct about the other 3, but miles off with LJ. You shouldn’t have mentioned him.

Then you’d argue incorrectly. Given his resources he was a failure.

There’s only 3. Number 4 is superfluous
