David Gray

[Carheenlea]

Maybe now is his time.

Hibs, never let us down, stepped in to steady the ship between failed managers and knows the club inside out. Knows what the fans expect and what it means to have the privilege of playing for Hibs.

He might not be a glamour name but from what we’ve seen previously he won’t over complicate things.

We’ve had our fill of experiments and trying for clever appointments. I think he would be a favourable choice.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

No. Absolutely not. Part of several failed managerial teams.

Hero and legend of course, but as much to blame as anyone else.

I doubt that a White Ladder would take him to the top of the list of potential candidates for the position. 😁

No chance 😮

[B.H.F.C]

I’ve no idea how much input Gray has. What you do see is that he works with the defence before every game then gives them a wee team talk when they go in to that daft huddle when the warm up is finished. Neither thing seems to work.

I don’t want him as manager any time soon as I don’t want us to have to sack him, which would inevitably happen.

[Hiber-nation]

Wouldn't be averse to giving it to him till the end of the season. Managed us to our best performance of the season at Pittodrie. At least he will set us up sensibly.

The performance under him at Pittodrie was the best, most complete domestic performance this season. And the happiest I've seen the team look. A third coach is basically a loyal subject, carrying out the kings orders. I really wouldn't be averse to giving him until the end of the season. The whole things a bit of a write off as things stand, not really got much to lose.

Why did we start doing that huddle thing anyway?

[hfc-1875]

Absolutely not, took too many gambles recently with maloney and now Monty. Need someone experienced imo

Part of the long term problem

Because standing in a circle is supposed to increase togetherness and teamwork.

A cup tie

[Greensunshine]

It’s player recruitment that’s the problem. So many dud signings it’s beyond embarrassing.

Oh and we’ve been far too loyal to players who should have left years ago but because of the above, they’ve hung around because there’s been nobody to replace them!

Manager after manager have paid the price.

Now we’re all desperate to take Foley’s cash because anything is better than what we’ve had to endure the last few years!

Any manager/DOF/CEO with a spine would’ve emptied him years ago.
Legend as a player but now part of an endemic rot at the heart of our club.

What’s his role at the club and how much say does he have ?

Defensive coach.
Our defence is the worst it’s been in about 15 years.

Oh right. News to me that.

Defensive coach under the manager, who has the sign off on tactics and how they’re deployed.

Same applies. 3 of the previous 4 managers have been ****.

He absolutely wasn’t defensive coach under 4 managers.

Absolutely not. Cheap option and just not what we need.

Ross, Maloney, Johnson, Montgomery.

To be fair, you might be right - you could maybe include Heckingbottom as well.

5 managers, then.

Yeah only he wasn’t and never has been the defensive coach but don’t let facts get in the way of bashing him.

[LaMotta]

David Gray?

Every time he has been an in interim charge he has set up sensible teams, and we have done ok, putting in fairly good performances. He has always talked pretty sensibly before and after games.

Should he be Hibs manager - well I'm not sure.

But I honestly believe he would have done a better job than the previous three - Maloney, Johnston, and Monty. We'd certainly be no worse off in my opinion, and we would certainly be financially be better off spending probably millions hiring and firing absolute duds.
