Do you think you could manage Hibs

[hfc1875x]

Having watched Yogi paper over the cracks with a 4rth place finish last season do you think you could manage the team ?

easily! I won the league and Scottish Cup with the same team, except I sold wee lewis to stoke for 1.5mill. good old Footy Manager

[Hibernian Verse]

I reckon that if I had coaches coaching the team and I dealt with transfer targets and team selection I could do as good a job, and only ask for £500 p/w

What a very strange way to put the question. I have in fact been knocked back for the job in the past, and although disappointed, I think Rod made the right decision!

[southfieldshibby]

No and even if i could i wouldn't want to.

it must be soul destroying knowing that thousands of people who know much less than you about the game and haven't worked as hard as you have to get the opportunity think that they could do the job better.

[blackpoolhibs]

Easy, i have been doing a wonderfull job from this computer for a number of years. :wink:

Yogi impresses and frustrates me in equal measure. His passion for hibs, his enthusiasm for playing good football and his down to earth attitude is brilliant.

His stubborness with his formations and in particular, his all out attcking philosophy frustrate the hell out off me. I'd love to see yogi mature as a manager this season. i'd love to see him send out a well organised team with a strong defence and midfield with a good shape ( no deeks - 4 midfielders only please). the forward line will take care of itself. we have the best in the league in my opinion.

Yogi is a good young manager. He has delivered european football in his first season. He had a cracking start to the season but will learn more from the second half of the season. If he can sort out the midfield and defence we will have a great season. we have bags of goals in the team, we just need to become harder to beat!

[PISTOL1875]

The first thing I would do is put Bamba into midfield...

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Yes, but which club's midfield? :boo hoo:

I agree with you but you have to admit there are times to shut up shop,play a certain formation,change certain players etc it doesn't take a footballing genius to work it out, if we can all see it why cant Yogi ?

[BT58]

Easy, i have been doing a wonderfull job from this computer for a number of years. :wink:
i would think that a few[ahem several thousand] would love to see you in the job G
we`ll im sure a certain FINN would lurve it too:wink::wink::wink:
you surely couldnt be as bad as MIKE BASSETT England manager[ watched that this morning what a hoot] :agree::agree:

Football fans belittle the job of the managers and over-simplify every decision. There are so many smaller factors to take into consideration than just, who is best and where. Example - Jones and Bamba are our two best centre halfs, on thier own merits of the last 5 years. Oversimplified conclusion : If we could have played them together, they would have been an outstanding partnership.

The reality? Both players had a tendancy to attack the ball, leaving spaces at the back. Chris Hogg may get pelters because he doesn't have thier dominance and aggression, but he's the one that gives them the freedom to do what they do best - attacking the ball early doors.

Furthermore, under Hughes, we have held a higher line. We have been able to do this because Bamba and Hogg have enough pace. This means that Bamba's occassional carelessness is less likely to be punished, as there is more time for recovery, and he won't impede "direct goalscoring oppertunities".
However, Jones never had such pace, and was much more comfortable playing a deeper back four to compensate for a lack of pace, but which allowed him to use his well timed tackling (people forget how many big, crucial last ditch tackles Jones won.). It suited him, and he played well especially when we had our backs to the wall.

The two, considering thier styles of play, would probably be less compatable, and thier partnership may have well amounted to less than thier real life partnerships with Hogg, who works to compliment both of thier games, despite them both being individually better players.

It's a similar case as to why Stokes and Riordan don't form a orthodox front two and why Stewart rarely played well with Boozy.

You just need to look at the "all time XI" type threads that turn up, look at the players selected, and sometimes consider if the team is chosen as a group of individuals, or with the harmony of the team in mind.

Big season for Yogi, This first half of the new season will be crucial and with the players & funds available I expect us to be up there challenging for 3rd or 4rth. The performance's of the 2nd half of last season was just not good enough. Lets hope he's learned by his mistakes.

I was manager of an under 16 side for a while. There were a few prima donnas in that lot - god knows what it would be lke trying to cope with the egos of a full time set-up

Yeah lets wait and see hopefully Deeko goes nowhere, I would be rather upset if he did. On another note I have not got a season ticket for the coming season I don't see any need for one as there's always going to be plenty spare seats. How does it work with the season ticket how many games are you getting for free compared to paying at the gate all season ?

Maybe if they had a father son sort of deal I would have signed up but there's nothing.

Haha me too I got rid of all the dead wood though i.e Hogg, Maka, Nish, Stack, and brought some quality buys in including Jermaine Pennant :wink:

well since were mates,I'm sure you wont be offended if I think your taking the urine.

But since you have OBVIOUSLY taken all your UEFA badges,and know ALL about football and training(OOPS,I almost forgot our current manager got us into europe,how silly of me,since I started a "I could do better thread")

Sorry your ***** makes as much sense as the drivel I normally post :agree:

[Jonnyboy]

Is it just me :rolleyes:

No

See answer above

This thread strikes me as just another poster having a go at Yogi and using this 'could you do it' angle was cute but doesn't work. Referring to him as Mr Hughes and pointing out that he scraped us into Europe pretty much tells me where your feelings on him lie.

it's the use of Mr that always has me :hmmm:

I don't have a agenda here Jonny, It is a forum were I am entitled to post my thoughts positive or negative. I really hope Yogi turns it round, but its not rocket science to see he was out his depth in the latter part of the season. I really hope he proves me wrong.

[down-the-slope]

In a word...NO:greengrin

[aberhibsfc]

Yeah, I coud manage Hibs. I'd win everything, and if I got beat I would just restart on my previous save. Afterall it's just like Champ Man ain't it.
