I don't know...if he has been on social media a lot, and has had a look in on here the criticism is pretty relentless, quite nasty and personal at times. I'd use the word 'human' rather than 'thick' if it did irk him. If the folk that regularly make those comments want him out I'd suggest going and saying it to his face, just in case he hasn't had a look in...you know...make sure he gets the message. Probably what I would do if I felt that strongly about getting him out of the club.

I can see that the criticism in some areas is justified, just not the manner it's delivered...but it's a free country so people are within their rights to be as c***ish as they like behind a keyboard as long as they're not making threats. Not in my nature to be like that but each to their own.

I do actually agree a change in manager could well move us on, I just can't see Milne ever being able to select one. Case in point, though it's early days...Paul Heckingbottom. Lennon did a good job with Hibs and he's deemed good enough to go back to Celtic so if the guy keeps Hibs going in the way they've started under him there's a potential manager right there who could improve us. Milne wouldn't have the judgement to make a decent left field appointment. He'd probably just get in Tommy Wright or Gary Holt.
