David Gray’s Hibs era ends in bruising fashion, and the real question is no longer whether the decision was right—it’s what on earth comes next. This phone-in hears from fans who are relieved, gutted, angry, and already turning their attention to the bigger problem: a club that still looks unsure of its football identity.
Jeff, Ian Mackay, Andrew, HibeeFanIain, and Other John each bring a different angle on Gray’s sacking, the collapse of performances, and the recruitment mess that many believe set him up to fail. One side argues the club had no choice after a miserable run and a toxic atmosphere at Easter Road. The other says removing the head coach without fixing the structure underneath is just treating the symptom, not the disease.
You’ll hear sharp debate on:
whether Gray was a stabiliser who eventually hit his ceiling
why the board, recruitment, and Malky Mackay are under fire too
the tactical issues fans say killed Hibs’ attacking play
why corners, passing patterns, and player responsibility became flashpoints
what kind of manager Hibs actually need next, from Steve Clarke to John Dal Thomason and beyond
The conversation doesn’t stop at Gray. It digs into the bigger pattern—failed appointments, weak recruitment, mixed messaging from the club, and the fear that Hibs keep repeating the same mistakes while expecting a different result. If you care about where the club goes from here, this is the debate that matters right now.
Essential listening if you want the raw fan reaction, the arguments for and against the sacking, and a clear picture of why this decision has left Hibs supporters asking even more questions than before.
