Maybe its a case of these managers dont really have much experience of managing a club the size of hibs with the expectations. IMO, they dont have the experience. Look at Dundee Utd, they had Craig Levein who was experienced and left the club in good shape, Motherwell are playing well now because they have a well experienced manager, Hearts are playing better now than they did under Shabba, they have an experienced manager. A club like Hibs, who have expectations of playing in europe every season need a manager who is experienced in taking a club to these heights, or at least a manager who has been an assistant at a club that has done this. We shouldnt be picking up managers who have little experience, managed lower league clubs, or managers that have managed clubs that were going no where. Yes every now and again you may pick up a manager that can do this from little experience, but its a gamble, and for me, its a gamble I dont want happening at my club, where each in experienced manager wastes money signing players that cant cut it.

Suggest an experienced manager that Hibs could afford then?

And, who do you think Yogi has spent money on that will be binned because they're not good enough?

I would happily take Craig Brown, I also thought hibs may have had a try and get Levein at some point before he took the scotland job. I would also take Mogga back. I think Cregg , anyone of the 3 keepers brought in and Gow could quite well be binned should a new manager come in.

you suggest hearts are playing better under jeffries then go on to suggest you wouldn't take a manager who has been managing a club going nowhere, wtf are kilmarnock :greengrin

hughes is hardly inexperienced given that he kept falkirk in the SPL, after bringing them up there, for a number of years.

So experience is an absolute guarantee of success? Bobby Williamson?

Our best performance in recent years was under a total rookie manager, i.e Mowbray.

[monktonharp]

bring back Ned. seriously though,you can never please some on here.I'm totally pissed off and have been for a fortnight since we got beat in Dingwall but after thinking about it over the last day or so,the problems are not all down to our present manager. we've had some players since the Dunfy exit in the semi-final,that canny go the extra mile to get us into finals or win crucial games when we as fans expect to win. no one has a right to win,just because they are a supposed much bigger club than the opposition I can go back to games like Ayr,Livi,Dunfermline,D.utd,etc all at Ham,pden when we were firm favs,to win but we didn't. we always seem to be plagued by a few in each team that canny play as expected,or just raise their game to get there.would not blame any of those managers for the failures. our current crop has some f/kin time wasters,which has left the manager to face the wrath of the fans.

The appointment of Craig Brown would not have been seen as a step forward by most Hibs fans IMO.

As for Levein, you're dreaming if you think he would've left Utd for Hibs.

Cregg's deal runs out at the end of the season, Gow is on loan and the only keeper leaving will be Maka IMO.

Did Jeffires win a trophy with hearts, did he take them to europe? Yes hughes is experienced at fighting relegation, different pressures and different expectations at a club with ambitions of playing europe every season. I would rather a manager learns his trade at some other club than hibs.

If you have any ambition you would see that if Hibs want to be in europe every season they need an manager that is experienced at the correct end of the league! Going by what you have said you would be happy with a manager that managed not to get relegated.

[Westie1875]

So are you now suggesting that we shouldn't have squad players at all then?

Cregg has been back up and was signed on a short contract so we won't need to pay him off if we want to get rid. Gow is on loan and its hardly Yogi's fault that he got injured. Maka is not one of Yogi's signings.

Levein was on the board at Utd and had built up a team over 3 seasons challenging at the right end of the table. Hibs could not afford him and he would not have come.

I have wondered for some time if the root of the trouble at Hibs is in the dressing room. Is there an ethos there which even someone as strong as Yogi can't get rid of?

Remind me of the level of experience Mogga had when he took us into Europe? The ONLY club he's taken into Europe. And let's not talk about Zibi, Simon Brown, Rudge, Konte, Konde ......

Levein come to Hibs .... don't make me laugh!

As for Craig Brown ...... dull, boring, colourless, unadventurous, helped Andy Roxburgh to destroy the passion of the Tartan Army AND has been pretty rank at almost evey club he's managed. He's had a tiny wee purple patch at M'Well with players he didn't even sign, half of whom will be gone back to wherever they are on loan from next season.

The day we appoint someone like Craig Brown as manager is the day I hand my season ticket back.

Seriously though, Opinions, thats what football's all about and thats why we all love the debate, we're all the greatest managers in the world, we all think we can do it better, but i think if it came to the crunch there are not many who would last 2 weeks actually doing it.

So, is there any mortal human being who is?


there's a paradox here. the only quality of manager some of our support demand is such that when we do eventually land him, he'll be away not long after we've realised he's the one.

eg, without our poor form post-xmas, Yogi himself would be off to Celtic right now.

we got two and a bit years out of Mowbray. if he'd not been brand new to management he'd probably of been away sooner.

we are having a better than historically average season, when we were finishing 8th 9th and 10th under Blobby there was still a lot of support for the guy (hard to believe today but there was at the time). i suppose it shows how far we've come that expectations are that high.

The fact that you feel that way Jane says a lot about the tone of this MB since the Mixu debacle. I think it is a crying shame that you can't come on here with a reasonable point to debate without having to suffer personal abuse. It's becoming far too commonplace and it is hugely difficult for the Admin team to exercise control over.

IMO resorting to personal abuse simply shows the abuser up as not having the skills to debate a point fairly and squarely

Jeff Jimries did take Hearts to Europe and win them a cup, but of course he did this being a relatively inexperienced manager coming from Falkirk, where he fought relegation with them......

And it took him a couple of years to get there too. So maybe we could just give Yogi a wee bit more time and lets see what happens.

And again, on the topic of film......................

Ever compared the Sco**ish Cup to the Holy Grail?




I refuse to on principle.

To seek the Holy Grail is to seek the impossible.

Deal with the quotes. :grr:

John Collins - Not good enough - apparently

Mixu Paatelainen - Not good enough - apparently

John Hughes - Not good enough - apparently


So, is there any mortal human being who is?

Or is this club (and more to the point, its supporters) just totally incapable of being satisfied with anyone?
:top marks :notworthy:

IMO, people set their stalls out too early. Disapproving of the choice of manager then building a rod for their own back by feeling the need to stick to their guns no matter what. You know some people set their stall out early doors regarding the appointment of yogi. So now they can't wait for things to go wrong to jump in with an "I told you so thread."

The jim Gannon I told you so thread was ridiculously premature and a perfect example of people too keen to prove they were right.

I've seen this happen from the mcleish days. Problem is, the people who want to churn and burn managers have no idea what implications it would have for the club, nor an answer as to who would do a better job.

None of the above would have got the managers job if it hadn't been the fact that they had played for the club and were deemed to have been fans favourites. Incidentally how are Collins and Mixu getting on with their managerial careers?

I have wondered for some time if the root of the trouble at Hibs is in the dressing room. Is there an ethos there which even someone as strong as Yogi can't get rid of?


TBH, if Yogi can't be successful at ER then I really wonder if anyone can.

you could have a point.i think managers like walter smith,alex ferguson,wenger command a lot of respect and nobody would cross that.

lots of others have to build that reputation up which is the hard part.

john collins imo tried to command this from the start and thats where the problem was.

yogi managed to get stokes,gow etc who he had previously worked with and i dont think they would have come if they didnt like him??

[SquashedFrogg]

So are you now suggesting that we shouldn't have squad players at all then?

Cregg has been back up and was signed on a short contract so we won't need to pay him off if we want to get rid. Gow is on loan and its hardly Yogi's fault that he got injured. Maka is not one of Yogi's signings.

Levein was on the board at Utd and had built up a team over 3 seasons challenging at the right end of the table. Hibs could not afford him and he would not have come.

IMO this is the key.

[weonlywon6-2]

maybe we should close hibs.net for month and see if the performances get better, then we will know where the problem lies :wink::wink:

[Phil D. Rolls]

Maybe its a case of these managers dont really have much experience of managing a club the size of hibs with the expectations. IMO, they dont have the experience. Look at Dundee Utd, they had Craig Levein who was experienced and left the club in good shape, Motherwell are playing well now because they have a well experienced manager, Hearts are playing better now than they did under Shabba, they have an experienced manager. A club like Hibs, who have expectations of playing in europe every season need a manager who is experienced in taking a club to these heights, or at least a manager who has been an assistant at a club that has done this. We shouldnt be picking up managers who have little experience, managed lower league clubs, or managers that have managed clubs that were going no where. Yes every now and again you may pick up a manager that can do this from little experience, but its a gamble, and for me, its a gamble I dont want happening at my club, where each in experienced manager wastes money signing players that cant cut it.

Your club - when did You take it over?


I would happily take Craig Brown, I also thought hibs may have had a try and get Levein at some point before he took the scotland job. I would also take Mogga back. I think Cregg , anyone of the 3 keepers brought in and Gow could quite well be binned should a new manager come in.

Are you on drugs?



Did Jeffires win a trophy with hearts, did he take them to europe? Yes hughes is experienced at fighting relegation, different pressures and different expectations at a club with ambitions of playing europe every season. I would rather a manager learns his trade at some other club than hibs.

If you have any ambition you would see that if Hibs want to be in europe every season they need an manager that is experienced at the correct end of the league! Going by what you have said you would be happy with a manager that managed not to get relegated.

Eh, are you sure you're not on drugs?

There might have been one, if only Fergie hadn't played for the Hun, Sir Matt blew his chance, actually as I see the whole thing as a work in progress, its still Yogi for me for the time being. Less talk and more action though.

:faf: It's always the same when things dont go our way - feeble excuses and refusal to adress the real issue.

PS - and you are far too picky, when did not being able breath, think or move make it onto our ever growing list of exclusions for being a manager of Hibs?

In defence of not automatically excluding someone on grounds of their mortality alone, I cite Duff Jimmy & Blobby as recent trail blazing examples of what might be achieved by a corpse........:wink:

And dont get me started on the playing side
