What metrics does he think we excel in? I hope he’s not talking about possession as our passing is terrible and we keep it in the wrong areas for too long.
People can laugh about underlying stats etc, but if we were perhaps creating loads of chances and underperforming against our xG, maybe that would be a compelling case.
Even look at Lee Johnson a year ago. He could point to the fact we had a lot of shots at goal, we won the ball in opponents final third well and our stats for winning the ball back in general quickly, were amongst the best in the league.
Again, this Hibs team excel at nothing. Thanks Monty

I'm really trying hard to believe that Montgomery is the right man for the job but I'm struggling to do so.
His comment "“I understand the fans’ frustration. I love the fans here, love their passion. We all want to win every game, so we’re on the same page. I apologise to the fans and the players apologise for not making the top six, but we now have to move forward.” is so frustrating. He says he gets our grief and frustration then qualifies this by using his all too familiar phrase of "now we have to move forward".
It's like he's simply dismissing the failure. Where's his passion?

I'm still hoping we move on as a club by getting rid of NM. Just don't see that happening now.

I really am trying to believe that he will successfully turn things round, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised in the next 5 games.

I wonder if the metrics would have been any better if they had a lion chasing them?

NHC but just goes to show how hard it is to recruit the right manager with some already criticising Liverpool's move to get Arne Slot from Feyenoord.
Understandable given how things have gone with Ten Haag but even at the top level recruiting managers is perhaps the most difficult task in football.

Obviously finding a manager to replace Alex Ferguson or Klopp who have both been successful will be difficult.
But to replace Maloney - LJ and Monty really isn’t that hard.
Currently Monty has somehow made LJ look a better manager than what he was.

I’ve not watched, listened to any Monty interview since January-ish as I just can’t take to him
When I see quotes like the one just posted, it confirms my decision
Sooner the better

Acknowledge it.
Acknowledge the mistakes made.
Learn from them.
He’s done the first.
He’s maybe done the second.
I’m not sure he’s done the third, to any level of success anyway.
I think he’ll be gone soon. He only has himself to blame. The CH situation in particular is a shocker. He had a window to address that. He never.

I don’t know for sure, but it’s like our club missing their first two targets and then going for their third whilst ignoring the likes of McInnes (ahem).
They are being critiqued for not getting their first two targets.
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and you’d expect they could attract a big name - I’d expect their fans feel that way.

Don’t know why anyone pays any attention to what managers ,or players,say in the media.

When the current crop of manager or players speak it’s just cliches copied out a media training textbook trying to get out of each interview saying as little as possible.
You only have to look at Martin Boyle, caught off guard you can see he’s a character and full of personality. Put him in front of a camera for an interview and he’s every bit as dull and boring as the rest of them.
That’s why ideally I’d like a South American lunatic who doesn’t care about the consequences of what he says as our next manager.

Every Hibs supporter and their Auntie Jean knows that:-
1. You wont fill a permanent position from the January rejects window.
2. The recruitment department and Director of Football source players, not the Head Coach. Been so since Leeann and George ten years ago. Triantis only came due to a prior connection
3. What quality centre half is going to come to Hibs with our record?
Recruitment wont be solved by changing the Head Coach. We need changes higher up the food chain.Last edited by RIP; 27-04-2024 at 10:46 AM.

You’ve indicated yourself that Triantis was one with a connection to the Head Coach. The Head Coach was also actively involved in speaking with Marcondes in Dubai about joining.
He’s a part of the process - he just has a recruitment team, including the DoF to do the work on signings.

For me his biggest fault is trying to play a system with players that couldn’t do it. Then he changed and we got a bit better but overall the football has been boring. He tries to play like Man City but in Scottish football you need strong physical players who give 100% from start to finish. The 3 teams above us have managers with experience of Scottish football and all play a more direct style out from the back and have been more successful on a lot less money. He’s been another poor appointment. McInness or Robinson would have us competing for third not looking over our shoulder in case results all go against us.
