    Really not sure what your point is. What is the relevance of them being in the top division in 1897?

    Perhaps you could Google how many of those seasons they finished 3rd In the league like they did last season, compared to how many times they’ve finished in a position equal to or below the position they were in when JR got sacked. 

    Okay... your miffed I proved that they were an established top league side (except for 4 yrs) their 3rd last season showed where they believed they ought to be. J R never got sacked for being 3rd, it was the spiraling away from 3rd that killed him.

    Results game for every club and JR wasn't getting them.

    Hibs underperformed on the park??

    He got them 3rd place in the league and to the Scottish Cup Final.

    I know this season wasn’t panning out quite so well, but they were hardly in the shit. They were still roughly where you might ordinarily expect a Hibs team to be in the league. They have no divine right to top 6 never mind 3rd.

    They punted him way too early and no mistake. 

    Club long established in top league, big budget and their rivals just get back and are doing much better

    Expectations not being achieved... realistic... why not with the right manager etc.

    Maybe they did jump too quick, but were there other factors?

    One might say for much the same reason that Sean Malloney might well have been on an extremely 'shoogly peg' had Hibs not won today and for the self same reason that Stephen Glass just departed Aberdeen, both fairly 'big' clubs with a large fan-base who have even larger expectations and likewise;Sunderland fits within the same criteria. I personally I think both Ross and Glass were handed 'hospital passes' at Sunderland and Aberdeen respectively, I believe neither had the full commitment of the club behind them and were stop-gap managers who if they wqere succesfull would give kudos to those who hired them and if not.....well we can see that outcome.

    I agree on Sunderland.  They lost out on the last game of the season. Then struggled after he left, but it wasn't working at Hibs despite a good squad and getting to sign a good number of players. Magennis fitness won't have helped but they underperformed on the park... so the buck stops with JR and his coaching staff and they paid the price.

    Jury's out on whether he will ever return to us. Personally I think progress is more likely going forwards than backwards - but i do truly value where JR rescued us from...

    JG contract extension along with Greive and Shaunessey asap....

    Ronan best player in the team ! Erahon a squad player at best . 

    I'm not knocking Ronan.

    Chances are he won't be back next season and the opposition were not great - so all I was calling for for game time for Erhahon, Henderson etc. It did happen so I'm happy about that and the result.

    Could come a point we need squad players and we don't want them to be rusty - don't you agree  :cheers
