    McInness has a habit of getting things done quickly so he'd probably get a fair crack at the whip. Took the St Johnstone job in November and got them promoted the same season. Took over at the tail end of a season when Aberdeen finished 9th and led them to 3rd and the League Cup the following season. Took over a Killie side who were far from guaranteed promotion and got them up, consolidated the following and now looks set to have them top 4 and in Europe.

    He's not one of those managers who bleats about needing multiple windows and to be given time. He earns himself time by being good at his job.

    He would be such a ****ty Hibs manager, Jack Ross with a beard, would achieve nothing at Easter Road.

    But couldnae beat St Johnstone, irretrievable run of form or just S hi te?
    St Jonnstone won both cups that season. Slightly freakish but admirable nevertheless.

    Ross had us at Hampden in every cup tournament he was manager for IIRC and took us to a comfortable third place finish. Nobody's come even remotely close to that since.

    Aww man, the last thing we want is a manager with a beard who gets us to 3rd in the league, 6 times to Hampden in 2 years and the only manager in 2 decades to win by 2 clear goals at Tynie.

    As others have pointed out he's been an unquestioned success at every Scottish club he's managed and currently has Killie well clear of us and heading for Europe on a far smaller budget. I can't fathom what you're basing that claim on.

    What has he done to be a success? Be less ****ty that the old firm on occasion? He is such a dullard and a Hun to boot.

    Won promotion twice
    Won the League Cup
    Finished 2nd 4 times in a row (including seasons when Hibs, Hearts and Rangers were all in the league)
    Finished 3rd once
    Finished 4th twice and soon to be 3 times
    Only finished outside the top 4 in 3 of the 11 full seasons he has managed in Scotland and never failed to make top 4 with Aberdeen.
    Never had a win percentage below 40% at any club in Scotland

    If he failed at Hibs then it would be close to the final proof that any problems at the club run far deeper than the manager.

    McInnes is THE clear and best candidate and has been for a few years, sadly just cannot see it happening and Hibs will probably make the same mistake as LJ, give Monty the whole summer and a pile of cash to waste then terminate a month or two into next season when they (finally) realise he’s not up to the job.

    Perfectly put mate.

    It’s so clear (and has been for years) that DM should be approached for this job.

    Good last point re the problems running deeper as well.

    Haha so true, Hibs fans are mental not wanting a manager with a proven SPL record of success.

    Aye fair enough but as IanG says he's a Hun though

    McInnes for me is the best candidate for the job.

    It should of been him two appointments ago, it's a shame those clowns running our club can't spot a good manager if their fake tans depended on it.

    I don't think he would come to us anymore though.
    I doubt he'd jump at the chance to come to Hibs either having been passed over previously and now gotten Killie into Europe.

    I also don't get why a large section of the Hibs support turn their noses up at McKinnes - he's consistently shown he knows what he's doing in the context of Scottish football - improving the sides he's taken over - making them hard to beat, winning games and hitting his targets.

    I think the accusations of boring industrial style are off the mark - he just has a handle on what you need to do to succeed in Scotland (which isn't always pretty) and sets about doing it. I'd wager that after one season with McKinnes in the hotseat at Hibs we'd no longer need 3 goals to win a football match and that would be no bad thing!

    If I'm not mistaken he turned down the Rangers job while at Aberdeen. So even if he was ever a hun he's less of a bigot than you.

    So he is a Hun with no ambition then? 🤣

    If we appoint him it will be like the Alex Miller years all over again.

    Why? Backed by a club that he has in fourth, and would give that up to move to a club in turmoil, that sacks managers on a whim, and whose glass ceiling is just one place higher in the league?


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    The fact mcinnes turned rangers down is one of the positives about him. That demonstrated a lot of loyalty which you don’t often see. However I think that loyalty is why he wouldn’t leave Kilmarnock right now, even if we were interested and offered everything he wants.

    Unfortunately I think this is spot on. Monty Will probably be sacked about 10 games into next season after a terrible start. Meaning another season written off.
    Would be great to have a manager who can put together a team who can see out a game without falling to bits.
    It’s embarrassing seeing Ross County defending resolutely at the end of the game today to turn over Rangers while we sh*t the bed at any sign of pressure.
    I would be in favour of bringing in someone like Michael O’Neill or McInnes.

    Fully expect he would stay at Killie and not join Hibs, though am sure we would be looking further afield with our new part owners connections.

    He's done what he can do at Killie. He isn't going to improve upon what he's already achieved.

    If Hibs offer him the job, with suitable guarantees, he'll take it IMO.

    Agree.

    We are a bigger club than Kilmarnock.

    Give him what he wants and he would come IMO.

    We’ll get some Bournemouth reserve under 19’s coach after Monty goes in September though.

    Hopefully he does stay . If he was our manager it wouldn't be long before folk turned on him about the way we were playing like they did Ross .

    Not stylish enough for some fans.

    They'd rather live in some utopia where Hibs are a swashbuckling reincarnation of Barca under Pep.

    Was always the obvious choice and still is.
    Pep? 😂

    Or even worse we`d be stuck with another Alex Miller situation with a manager driving away fans but we can`t afford to get rid of him . Noone`s happy about present results but surely most fans would prefer a season like 2018 then a dodgy one than boring defensive stuff even if it means the odd game in European qualifiers in July ? We`re all disappointed about missing out on top 6 ( if it had led to Europe ) but time to look for something interesting with a motivated manager with something to prove . McInnes has got Aberdeen and now Killie into Europe , what could he do with us ? At best the same .

    He also turned down Sunderland when at Aberdeen

    What’s all this Hun nonsense, i would take the devil himself if he could put a good team together, by the way the last manager to with the league with Hibs played for Rangers and Hearts ! Hugh Shaw .
