“Hibs’ expensive top-six failure leaves more questions than answers”

Hibs find themselves in a frustrating position after missing out on a top-six spot, despite appearing to have it within reach.

The team’s recent losses to St Johnstone and draws against Ross County and Motherwell have proven to be costly, not only in terms of league position but also in potential prize money and missed opportunities for high-profile matches against rivals like Rangers and Edinburgh derbies.

Additionally, the chance to secure a European spot, even in the early rounds of the Europa Conference League, could have brought significant financial benefits and exciting matchups like this season’s clash against Aston Villa. Tough decisions lie ahead for the team as they navigate the remainder of the season.

Hibs fans are clamoring for answers regarding the future of Nick Montgomery as manager and the fate of several players at Easter Road next season. They’re questioning whether the current recruitment process is effective and whether the recent improvements in club infrastructure have translated to on-pitch success.

The disappointment of this season, perceived as a significant regression, has heightened the urgency for the board to address these concerns and make necessary changes to restore the team’s performance.

How they choose to navigate these challenges will be closely watched by supporters eager to see improvements in the team’s on-field performance.
