It transpires that there was apparently a dressing room bust-up between Chris Cadden and Johnson. Cadden stormed out in disgust!! I can sincerely empathise with him re this manager with the "Beckham voice" who really irritates me greatly with the "cheap talk" and very little action or footie nous to change things. The Sunderland fans' warnings last year re his limitations really resonate in my head together with Ron Gordon's praising "cheap talk" re hiring the right man etc - I recall I was totally unimpressed with this shit as was Lord Snooty at the time. As an aside, it looks like this terrible malaise within the club has spread to Hibs successful youth team and the way they are being treated by HFC officials!! 
Prospective lads like O'Connor and Laidlaw out of contract and offsky in the summer with English footie clubs like Aston Villa already scouting them. My thoughts: I think there are not enough true Hibs people significantly involved in these affairs now - guys who love the club and know the inner workings of Hibs footie ops!! HFC effectively being run by outsiders (Johnson referring today to Hibs "project" being backed by Hibs fans!!!?????) with a full business/commercial enterprise remit preached by a majority shareholder/owner who has been disappointingly absent during a period when his leadership and positive direction were sorely needed. Roll on to the annual AGM shortly - that meeting will be "volatile" to be perfectly frank about it and it's one that I will be personally attending for a change!!!!
