Beat Hearts.. keep your job

Pressure is mounting on the under-fire Easter Road gaffer following the humiliating 7-0 Europa League mauling from Malmo on Thursday night.

Hibs sources last night played down the chances of Fenlon being sacked in the coming days. But almost 75 per cent of supporters polled on a popular fans’ website called on the Easter Road boss to go NOW.

And if the Irishman loses the derby clash with administration-hit Hearts, there will be real fears for his future.

Fenlon has now presided over two of the worst results in Hibs’ history — with the Malmo rout coming a year after the 5-1 Scottish Cup Final loss to Hearts.

The Swedes’ humiliating 9-0 aggregate win was the worst Euro loss in Scottish football history. The 7-0 second-leg collapse was also the club’s biggest home loss in 123 years.

Fenlon — with ten months of his contract to run — apologised for the thumping, calling it an “embarrassment”.

He also pledged to “look at myself” as fans ask serious questions of his reign.

Decent results against Motherwell next Sunday and Hearts WILL buy him more time.

But defeat to the decimated Jambos’ kids could prove impossible to come back from for the beleaguered boss.
