If it wasn't for the injury list he would have been punted after two months not four. It bought him time. Painfully out of his depth.

Maloney had a 45% win record after 2 months. So yeah, I think we can safely say he wouldn’t have been sacked if it wasn’t for the injury list and the idea that it was some sort of saving grace for him is nonsense. That injury list played a huge part in our results ending up costing his job, it certainly didn’t keep him in it

He did get a window. He largely brought in awful players.

Maloney is arguably the worst manager in our history and at very best may only be saved from that accolade by Butcher. Didn’t make himself popular and the football was atrocious.

He got more time than he deserved.

And the squad he took over was awful and being carried by one player. That one player got sold almost immediately as Maloney came in the door.

I presume we can lay the blame for building such a poor squad and a one man team at Jack Ross’ door if we can lay the blame for January recruitment at Maloneys?

Maloney is apparently going to Burnley as their new assistant manager.

Would be a perfect gig for him

He was given as fair a chance as anyone else would’ve got. The football was absolutely dire and the results were embarrassing.

spot on. He was absolutely hopeless.

Maloney was awful, rank rotten awful. Up there with Butcher, Duffy and Calderwood as the worst at Hibs over the past 50 years of my supporting the team.

Good move if true. No doubt a top coach, just not manager material (IMO)

4 months and no windows is a fair chance? Embarrassing comment. Maloney may or may not succeed. Hibs have treated him shamefully in any case.

Should you not be focusing on your next coaching job, Shaun?

Maloney as appointed on 20th December, there was a January window.

He got us to a cup semi final which is always heralded as a success on here. Beat Dundee United, Ross County and Motherwell who all ended up top six (Infact he actually was undefeated against they 3 over the 5 games we played them in), drew with the champions and improved our defence when he came in.

I’m in no way suggesting that’s anything exceptional btw but I think it’s a bit harsh to suggest he showed absolutely no potential whatsoever and that he was awful. With the job he took on and the players he was given he was pretty much doomed to fail the minute Boyle left, then Nisbet got injured and Porteous kept on getting himself suspended just to compound the disaster further.

Spot on, a lot on here dont let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Far to early to say that he’s a young coach / manager who’s had limited time as his own man. Didn’t go well but he might bounce back you never know, wouldn’t write anyone off so soon.

Yup.

His time at Hibs tells us very little as to his ability as a manager imo.
