If we appoint McInnes and he has nearly all of next season, we don’t make top 6 and make absolutely no progress at all in that time, I’d probably be looking to make a change again.
There has to be some short term progress if a manager wants more time.

McInnes at least has a substantial track record of success whereby even if his start wasn't great, you could be reasonably confident he would improve. Montgomery has little evidence to turn to for him to say the same

Personally I find that madness but each to their own.

We’ve tried with our last few managers to go for a manager who has little or no knowledge of the SPL but with a big belief that their style of football will be good enough to bring success in our “Mickey Mouse”, league or at least show big signs of improvement on the previous incumbent.
ALL of them have failed, arguably, for different reasons but they’ve all failed, most underestimating what it takes to play in this league.
We’ve been rebuilding the squad now for about 5 years and whilst we have unearthed the odd gem the football and the results have been much the same.
We really can’t avoid a rebuild again this close season and for me it needs to be done under the guidance of a new manager with current SPL experience and a completely new coaching team. The time for sentiment has come and gone.
I would like the following.
1. A new manager with his own coaching team in place..preferably for the final 5 games so they can evaluate the current squad.
2. A Squad that has a higher percentage of permanent signings and again SPL experience where/if the manager sees fit.
3. EARLY signings close season to help gel the new squad.
I appreciate a lot of this might be difficult if not impossible to achieve but if we don’t try …….next season could be even more difficult to watch than this current one.

As soon as we dip out of top 6 there will be load shouts for him to go
He wont have any credit in the bank with hibs fans that's for sure
Btw - I'm not saying I'd be against sticking with an experienced manager for long(er) term but I can't see how the fan base as a whole go for that

Do you think a manager coming to Hibs should have no short term accountability? They should have free reign to be as bad as they want because they’ve got a 2 or 3 year deal?

Theres mitigating factors but I am neither here nor there if he stays. He can’t help players not passing the ball five yards, not closing down shots or failing to put challenges in.
Once again the players have let down a manager.

Being a manager can’t just be about biding time until you get your own players who presumably won’t make mistakes.
He’s not organised the team to make the most of them and he’s not improved any individual players.
There has to be something he can point to.

However these same players have let down several managers. They are the common denominator.
I’d say if we get rid we need to work from the top down. CEO, DoF, Manager and empty most of the players.
However if he stays then he’ll have my full backing. He’s under performed but been dealt a poor hand over and over so I can understand why they might stick this time around.
