‘Why no Black Knight talk’ and should youth ‘be given a chance’?

Must read

[BBC]

We asked you what the one thing nobody is talking about in relation to Hibernian – good or bad.

Here’s what some of you had to say:

Scott: Nobody but a small number of fans via blogs are talking about more involvement or takeover from Black Knight. Make it happen before we’re relegated.

Andy: Where is the development squad? Hibs have signed a plethora of players supposedly for a development squad, there is a youth team that did well in Europe and a massively underperforming first team. Why are the first team not under pressure for their places? Just another dismal failure from Hibs’ recruitment team?

Jason: All eyes where on what successes and fortunes we would have with the arrival of the Black Knight consortium. But we seem to be going more backwards than ever. Maybe it’s time for all shareholders and owners to sit down and find a plan soon before relegation looms again at Easter Road. Surely we can afford a manager good enough.

David: Why is no one talking about the relationship with the Black Knight group? It has gone very quiet since the interview about getting into Europe and then eventually challenging for the league. Where has the finance and ambition gone and what are the Black Knight group thinking about the current state of affairs?

Grahame: As a club we have a rookie manager with inexperienced assistants, the director of football should be sourcing a experienced set-piece coach, someone like Austin MacPhee who is presently available after leaving Aston Villa and until recently the Scottish national team.

Ron: The discrepancy between the standards of the first team and the development squad/academy. We have a struggling senior team while the youngsters seem to be winning for fun. Time for youth to be given a chance – which always used to be the way at Hibs? Maybe their “desire” would help?
