    JDT is a little frustrated at Blackburn
    Venkys can only pull so much money out of India due to some new financial implications from their government.
    I was told they wanted Vente but couldn’t justify the fee.
    The people I know who go and watch Blackburn are happy with the way he tries to play football
    I still think a solid experience manager of Scottish football is needed
    McInnes
    Robinson
    Kettlewell

    Ian Murray walked past me in Nicholson Street last night about 1am.

    Make of that what you will

    On it's own it means nothing, but I was out for a very good Ruby Murray around the same time.

    Too much of a coincidence? I think not, bring him home.

    Kevin Thomson as assistant but rested for Sevco matches?

    I’d be going all balls out for Derek McInnes. Tried and tested and at this juncture, exactly what Hibernian Football Club needs.

    He and McDermott, on paper, would be an excellent team.

    McIness is the kind of guy you give a long term deal to. Not Lee ****ing Johnson who was coming in off the back of a League One sacking.

    I'm just not seeing it. If his Killie team were playing especially good football or putting teams away then I'd get it.

    They lost away to Motherwell yesterday. We can achieve that already with Johnson. 0-0 away to Livi. We'd take that as a one off result but how about in a succession of similar? Didn't beat Raith in the league cup groups. Write it off as early season form... or do folk on here get the knives out because (if it were hibs) we fail to beat a lower league team?

    McInnes is living off a reputation built competing in a league without Rangers in it. Those days are gone. His results are so-so now.

    I don’t think there will be a queue at the door waiting for a fleeting hold of the poisoned chalice.

    Agree to an extent, but you’ve got to realise he’s at Kilmarnock now, who are (or at least should be) far further down the food chain in comparison to Hibs and Aberdeen.

    You don’t agree our midfield is imbalanced and has been an issue for years without being properly addressed?
    It’s not the root of our problems. We finished 3rd in a season where we mainly had Newell and Gogic in centre midfield. Because our team collectively were effective.

    I want Hibs to build a good team.

    Coming more and more to the idea of Robinson at St Mirren.

    Talks really well and his teams play decent fitba.

    That’s a fair point of view, not one I agree with, but fair. Talking about weird obsessions isn’t constructive or adding anything to the debate though.

    I believe central midfield is the most important area of any team. Especially if we want to be anything other than a poor, inconsistent team, that can achieve 3rd by being slightly less poor than the other 9 teams. As has been the case for the last while in terms of teams finishing 3rd, and then a big drop off the next season as we saw.

    Big Steve Evans from Stevenage. Football would'nt be pretty but by god we would get some results. And we would finish 3rd.

    I think I’d go for him too. Unsure if he’d want it though, kind of the same as McInnes. Both are very secure in their current jobs.

    I'd love Stevie Clarke to get the job but that's not going to happen.

    Going on about McGinn and McGeouch every 5 minutes isn’t adding anything either.

    Annoying we didn't appoint him before Kilmarnock as he would have been cheaper.

    Now if Hibs come asking about him he will be on a much higher salary plus his back room staff plus the compensation to Killie.

    Robinson and MacInnes are the two front runners for me. I don't want someone with no experience of Scottish football. We've tried the lower leagues in England for players and managers and they very rarely work. Scottish football is not pretty it's physical and it's time we signed players to compete in that environment.

    I am not sure what this is based on. Didn’t achieve much at Motherwell and resigned as he admitted he had taken them as far as he could as they headed towards the bottom of the league. Stabilised st mirren but not exactly hitting the levels we would expect at hibs. I don’t see him as being any better than we currently have.

    Maybe there is good players coming in before window closes with Henderson Melkerson Leaving will Johnson get a reprieve and could turn it around judging by net is it now a formality

    Williamson and butcher were tried and tested in Scotland. Duffy as well arguably. Our trophy winning managers had no managerial experience here but did have playing experience. But then so did maloney.

    You can always put me on ignore or skip past my posts when I’m banging on about the midfield, of which I acknowledge I definitely do bang on about it. However, It’s an issue that has got each manager from Lennon to, soon to be Johnson, sacked IMO. So a long-standing problem we haven’t ever got close to properly addressing, and a relevant conversation when discussing a new manager IMO.

    McInnes. I can’t really see the argument against him being the right person. He’s consistently did a good job at this level, not just the one season with one side.

    Absolutely not Calum Davidson, and Scott Browns name wouldn’t be mentioned at all if he’d not played for us. He’s done nothing to show he’s who we should bring in.

    Prior to Hibs job -

    Johnson - Sacked by Sunderland and Bristol
    Maloney - Untested
    Ross - Sacked by Sunderland
    Hecky - Sacked by Leeds
    Lennon - Sacked by Bolton.

    How about we go for a manager who is doing well at a ‘smaller’ club right now rather than someone out of work for poor performance in their previous role.

    Mourinho and Ancelotti have been sacked as managers. Being sacked doesn’t automatically mean you’re not a good option.
