If Keane was our manager we wouldn't have had a team for the second 45 on Saturday. After the half-time talk most would be out long term injured with severely damaged feelings! I seriously believe he would have some of them crying for their mummies.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Honestly, the Keane / Lennon chat is chronic. If they’re such marvellous, wannabe hard man miracle workers, why are they both spending their lives as pundits?
How long since Keane was last a manager?
Lennon has been linked with every job going in Scotland, if he’s so damn good, why hasn’t he gotten one? Aberdeen have rather gone with a guy so old a cold snap might see him off!
Just utter nonsense.

McInnes and I would give him the highest transfer budget available.

Other things that happened in that time period were that the first I-phone was released and Rory Whittaker was born.
The world has moved on since then and Keane himself has carved out a nice little niche for himself in punditry, something I find it hard to see him relinquishing for an inevitably short stint at Hibs.

Hi guys, first post.
Alex Neil would be my first choice.
There are other managers out there though, Michael Duff done a fantastic job at Barnsley and had them playing brilliantly. John Eustace at Birmingham sacked very harshly too.
Neil ticks all the boxes for me though.

What I’ll say is the majority of managers that say they play good attacking football talk nonsense
Ross gets criticised however give me his style over Maloney and Montgomery any day of the week
On suggestions, what about Tony Docherty? Great job at Dundee

The question is who would the rest of the league not like to see us appoint?
IMO they’d hate to see us appoint Mcinnes because they know he’d make us good, challenging for Europe and every game would be difficult.
There’s your answer

Playing open, expansive football or what we would class as "good football" these days will result in us getting pumped most weeks. A pragmatic approach is what gets you success in this league. The days of Mowbrayesque football are gone and managers will see through it in 5 minutes. We'd all love that type of football but McInnnes/Robinson have it spot on and it's proven to work. People complained about Jack Ross's football but he finished 3rd and never failed to get us to Hampden in every competition he entered playing his "pragmatic" football (which in hindsight actually wasn't that bad) before the club screwed him over with transfers. Steve Clarke at Killie was another one who's football wasn't exactly exhilarating but brought success. St Mirren schooled us on Saturday and we were lucky it wasn't 4 or 5.
Maloney/Montgomery MIGHT have had more luck here 20 years ago or with Celtic or someone.
Us as Hibs fans all yearn for 1970's/Mowbray/Lennon post January transfer window football. We are dreamers/romanticists as a fanbase. There's nothing wrong with that and it's one of the things that make Hibs special but it just isn't going to work now. Not long term anyway.Last edited by Since452; 05-02-2024 at 06:12 AM.

Not sure who I’d go for but there’s surely going to be plenty of interested parties given the Foley investment.
For me if it comes to it we should really push the boat out for as high a calibre manager as we can. No point having a big transfer kitty (relatively speaking for Scotland) if we don’t have the best man in charge we possibly can.
100% no more punts on someone who could be the next big thing, someone who knows our game inside out or failing that a well known high profile (again relatively speaking) manager.
Given the potential budget and just for his sheer undoubted football knowledge and his work ethic I’d be tempted to right a historical wrong (my opinion) and sound out John Collins.

Would imagine the next guy won’t be from the usual circles of names that get mentioned. It’ll be a heavily Foley/Black Knights influenced appointment I reckon.

Go out and get McInnes. As with a few other posters he has been my choice for the last 2/3 appointments.
Rebuilt his Aberdeen team a few times and keep them up there, and done the same with a relegated Killi side.
I have no doubt he can get a Hibs side well organised and build from there.
Not a reason to appoint him but I like the way he interviews - I've not regularly listened out for a Hibs manager's interview since Lennon.

So being realistic all I would like from a manager right now is a vague idea what a centre half is for and perhaps somebody old fashioned enough to stick a couple of defenders on the posts when corner kicks are taken. Almost every week I see other teams with good but not spectacular centre halves or whatever they are called now (Gogic on Saturday for instance: Findlay the week before ) who earn their corn by closing down opposing players when they attack and organise the players round them.

He was still saying on the Stick To Football podcast recently he would get back into management if it was the right job

At least someone like McInness might see this job as a step up from where he is and get him back into some sort of limelight to go do something else after 3/4 years of turning us around and finding success here. Or even build something quite long term.

Pele (bundled out of Pittodrie in the boot of a car)
Alex Miller
Paul Hegarty
Tangoman (somewhat steadied ship) amongst the ones I recall.
Paw Broon probably laid the foundations and Del was consistent.
but for someone that lived in Aberdeen through the most turbulent period I’d argue they don’t give management a lot of time. The did employ some numpties tho."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012

He did however have a shocker in his most recent job at Club Brugge.

If they allowed him to transform the club whilst having a shocker of a season then I would be shocked.
I would be up for that though.
Communicate it. Say ‘this man will not be removed unless we get relegated, so strap in’.
Clear lines.
