But @kevincook77 argued: “Imagine being excited for a manager who couldn’t get Sunderland out of league one”

@HibeesMC said: “Happy with the appointment of Jack Ross. Let’s all get pulling in the same direction. It’s been a miserable few months following Hibs, the negativity(including myself) has been draining”
