HIBS chairman Rod Petrie last night staunchly defended his record of managerial appointments.
The Easter Road outfit are searching for a new boss following Pat Fenlon's sudden resignation on Friday.
Fenlon quit following their League Cup exit to Hearts, although the Irishman insisted he had made his decision prior to the Edinburgh derby.
Hibs are looking for their 10th manager in 15 years, with Inverness Caley Thistle boss Terry Butcher the favourite for the hotseat.
Petrie has been criticised for many of the club's recent managerial recruitments but feels he has got more right than wrong during his tenure as chairman.
Petrie said: "It is important we do what is right for Hibernian football club and that it is taken forward and we are focused on getting the right guy to do that.
"Every appointment is the right appointment and they are made with the best intentions at the time. Some of them work and every manager we have had has given his all for the club during that period and some have been more successful than others. Our track record stands scrutiny with anybody else.
"To go out of the League Cup was deeply disappointing but we have to move on from there as we have a talented squad of players and there is an awful lot going right but we all have to work together to improve the football club in any way we can.
Butcher is the favourite for the Easter Road vacancy but former Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels, Dumbarton's Ian Murray and ex-Hibs boss Tony Mowbray have been linked with the post.
Petrie, however, insists Hibs won't be rushed into an appointment.
He said: "We will convene a meeting with the Hibs board and sit down and look at the situation that we have got and identify who we think the right candidates might be and take the process forward from there.
"We are looking for a manager that will take the club forward – those were Pat Fenlon's words – he said that we were looking for somebody else to take the team forward and get more out of the squad of players that we have got.
"Clearly we will be focused on getting the right guy for Hibernian Football club.
Meanwhile, Hibs caretaker boss Jimmy Nicholl revealed he tried to persuade Fenlon to stay.
Nicholl said: "I tried to talk Pat out of resigning. But deep down I could see the relief in him once he had made his decision.
"Can I understand his reasons? No, and I told him I thought he was going for the wrong reasons.
