Hibernian fans boss Mike Riley has told chairman Rod Petrie that the appointment of the next Easter Road manager is his final chance to win over weary supporters.
Petrie is understood to be locked in discussions with Inverness boss Terry Butcher as he seeks to name the successor to Pat Fenlon.
If the former England captain accepts the Leith post, he will become the club’s ninth manager since 2001.
But Riley, chairman of the Hibs Supporters Association, claims it is the man at the top who the capital club’s faithful are running out of patience with.
He said: “The fact we have been through so many managers in the last few years is a big concern to everyone who supports Hibs.
“I think we’re already at the point where if Petrie doesn’t get it right with Butcher there will be an almighty outcry.”
