Yeah i agree. The Hibs managers job in the Premiership isn't really the place for an inexperienced manager

. Nor are we a care home for over the hill professionals set to retire soon.

No brainer to bring him in. Must be Scotlands most decorated player after Brown. Model pro

With Ronseal?

A hundred times no.

Bringing in a 38 year old would send the wrong message to young lads like Shaw and others who are looking to progress at Hibs. I dont buy the argument that Miller will help bring the young ones on - that's down to the manager and coaching staff.

Too old to play every week and we'd be better looking to offer the game time to our younger players.

Save the money for someone with a reasonable chance of having a future.

Is "look after yourself, graft for every team you play for and you could still be playing in 20 years" that bad a message to send out to our young players?

What does the BBC say?

Blaming the SNP for Kenny's break up with TRFC probably.

Where are you TC? You must have a view?

I think it would be a great signing.

Whoops you just replied!!

As I said before I wouldn’t want him as a first team player if I’m honest. But I do feel he’d be a good squad player and be a good role model and coach for the younger lads. If Lennon feels Kenny would add vital experience I’m all for it.

Folk seemed quite happy last season to have an over the hill non scoring striker in Grant Holt because of how he brought on the younger players. Why not Kenny Miller?

Bring back Steven Fletcher.

Never been a big fan of Fletch however, he'd be a far better option than Kenny at this time, IMO.

[ancient hibee]

It might happen but at the moment it’s a made up story in the Mail with no quotes from anybody.

[neil7908]

A guy at my work who is a decent Rangers fan rates Miller and says he'd be a good signing for us. I haven't seen much of him this season so can't really judge.

If he's not wanting much money he might be worth a punt in the summer.

Not sure about the coaching element but we could get him in as a player for a year and assess that side of things for when he retires.

Kenny and Lennon are good friends. He rates Kenny and it won’t shock me if he did bring him in as a player/coach.

Ah ha TC, you've been having a wee chat with Kenny me thinks, tell him to get himself back along the road.

[Brightside]

He wont be coming in unless another coach is leaving. (I should add - on a paid contract)

I'd be happy if that is the case.

I'm not sure why everyone is convinced the "young lads" need better coaching or influences than they are getting from the current coaching set-up.

KM will have plenty to offer but not to us. Not at this time.

[bingo70]

Far too much emphasis being put on his age imo.

I’d bet he’s a lot fitter and sharper than a lot of 29/30 year olds that haven’t looked after themselves as well as he has.

It’s a squad game now and not all signings can be star players that’ll play every week.

[Stuart93]

Who do I keep seeing people saying future hibs managers with absolutely no basis as to why they're saying it 😂

[KWJ]

If Lennon thinks he'd add to the squad who am I to say naw. Did he play under Lennon at Celtic? Strachan signing naw?

I enjoyed these goals he scored a few months ago.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

I bet Potter is wishing he hadn't jumped the gun and signed the guy from St Johnstone for that experienced player coach role.

he was Lennons team mate , thats how old he is

[hughio]

His movement and timing is second to none.Still has sharpness.

I'd say yes.

Would he become the player to have returned after the longest period of time away from the club?

18 years will have passed since he left come the summer.


Compared to Whittaker (10 years) Stokes (6 years) Thomson (6 years) Murray (3 years) Riordan (2 years).

What was Joe Baker 10 maybe 11 years before he came back?

[guthrie01]

Kenny Millers days of playing are over, at his age you need to be playing regular to keep up with the level of skill required. If we have a 38/39 year old striker on the bench or even playing I would be very worried about our ambitions for next season.

A coaching role would be pointless, we already have good experienced coaches who are pushing us for second place right now. Just because he played for Hibs and was a good striker in his days doesn’t mean we should fit him in somewhere just for the sake of it.

Much rather we keep the coaching and management staff as is and use the money for bringing in better quality players who can improve our squad

No thanks, we should be looking for better, don't see how he'd improve our squad.

100% correct. A 38 year old striker who has only managed 4 goals this season is not what we need and looks more like the type of player the yams should sign.

I haven't seen or heard anything from the BBC, but there was a story in the Mail about this:

[murray26]

Can’t see any value in this.. 38 and kicked out his previous club for causing trouble.. hardly prolific either.. surely we can spend our money better.

Good point

[Spike Mandela]

38.....that should be the end of this nonsense.

Hibs should be trying to find the next Kenny Miller not topping up the pension pot of the old one.

[Captain Trips]

We have Oli Shaw and Simon Murray whom is away on loan ans future is uncertain with the club and that leaves us our current 2 forwards whom we do not even own at this moment.

Kamberi and Maclaren offer IMO a bit more going forward if we can keep them and for me that is where any monies for that department should be going. If we can keep them then I have no issue with KM but not instead of either one. If we cannot get one or both then that is way it is but KM is my 3rd choice if those are the only options on the table.

empty your pm's! Perhaps Kenny could do the same job that Mixu did when he was learning his trade.

Done 👍🏼

[Stokesy's on fire]

Nope Kenny could have returned to Hibs a few seasons ago but he chose to sign for Sevco. I would rather we signed Jamie Mac and Kamberi on perm deals than invest cash into Kenny Millers massive bank account.
