I've been attending Hibs AGMs for about the past ten years and one comment that always stood out for me is a quote by Sir Tom Farmer which was, "We'll never hang out our dirty washing in public" and that is what Hibs normally do by ensuring any Hibs manager signs a confidentiality clause as required under Hibs contracted terms and conditions. Hence we'll always have rumours and counter-rumours covering this issue. That is how it works! I don't think we'll ever know the full details certainly in the public domain but I'll eventually find out the real story in a private context.
