That's a good pt re the absence of Hibs fans NH! One could argue that the lack of legions n legions of Hibs supporters didn't help the cause in big games either although it still takes "two to tango" and I don't think it dismisses that lack of commitment that was very clear to most observing Hibs fans/critics. I do agree that JR should remain at ER based on Hibs successful league campaign. However, I see this period under JR as an evolving one only and I'll be very surprised if Hibs win a trophy and base that reasoning on what Jim previously said re his tactics. I also wonder if he and his coaches can motivate players as well as other decent footie managers esp preceding and during big matches. I reckon guys like Neil Lennon and Stubbsy were better operators in that regard.
