I think if Coyle wanted it, he would get it. Can't see that, though!

I see from the Report headlines that we're looking for a new "Manger" which I suppose is slightly better than a new Minger!

Yet more shoddy reporting by the BBC - you just can't get the staff these days.

Yes indeed. I think it's because the next man in charge will need to be some kind of Messiah to succeed.

[Bleeds green]

No interview for Murray?

Its a travesty if Pilton Johnny isn't quoted. OK he is a yam fud but has a lot of knowledge of the game.

Did Murray even get an interview?

If so, i'd imagine the shortlist to be

McCall
Stubbs
Venus
Murray

Pretty good shortlist I reckon.

[sleeping giant]

Gemmill
Duncan Ferguson
Venus
Stubbs

[Nevi_SOL]

Gemmill
Duncan Ferguson
Venus
Stubbs

Is this just a guess. Would be happy with that shortlist.

No doubt we'll get wishful thinking about Stevie Clark, but I think he is just biding his time for Brenda to leave Celtic in the hope he gets the gig.

Haven't got any thoughts about the next manager, think we might look for an interim to the end of the season, whilst assessing the longer term.

[04Sauzee]

Started reading this and thought we had narrowed it down to 4 already :)

Mark Venus for no other reason than to resurrect a song about Craig Levein being a ****ing p____.

[madhatter]

Why do we always get fixated with old players, coaches, managers returning?

When has this worked out well? People rate Whittaker? Stokes done well when he returned?

It is just as risky as getting a new person in. Perhaps even more so as there is a legacy involved. Sometimes better to have good memories than to tarnish them with someone returning.

Scott Allan?

[madhatter]

Scott Allan?

One recent example, great. I guess we should always look at former players, coaches and managers when recruiting then...

May as well go for a management team of:

Ian Murray
Kevin Thomson

or

Garry O'Connor
Derek Riordan

Could even get Tam in on it.

Being serious, we are a bit of a basket case of a club, we yoyo far too much and I think part of this is due to our fascination with bringing old employees back. The deal to bring Scott Allan back in the summer has probably taken a lot of effort, been a big deal the club have been working on. I'm glad he is returning. However, we have a tiny squad now, we now likely don't have a manager and there are clear problems with recruitment beyond bringing in loans and ex-players back. As a club, we need to be more forward thinking.

Agree with this. Stubbs for example - thanks for the amazing cup win, always a legend, but his managerial career has hardly blossomed since he left two and a half years ago.

[Mac_17]

If his managerial career did blossom then he wouldn’t be getting mentioned, cause we couldn’t afford to bring him back.

[calumhibee1]

:agree:

He's being quoted because he's still within our reach. If he had left Hibs and done very well then he wouldn't be available to us.

To be honest if it’s just temporary to the end of the season I can’t see many better alternatives. Knows the club, gets on well with LD and has a point to prove after his St Mirren experience. And gives the board time to explore other options for the permanent role.

His only managerial experience in the Scottish Premiership was pretty disastrous.

It's not my first choice but it's a decent option. Like you said he knows the club, knows a lot of the players and the fans adore him.

[BigKev]

Why do folk think we'll appoint a manager until the end of the season? Just because Man Utd have done it?

Back in the real world I'm sure Dempster will be working on a shortlist for Lennon's replacement.

It’s a strange article as they are labelling it as an exclusive but it’s essentially an opinion piece on who ‘could’ get the job. Hardly an exclusive.

Correct.

The Cup win was the ultimate success story of modern times across footballing history.

Unique and will never be emulated.

In saying that I'd rather Stubbsy remained the Legend that he is and go for Gary Holt my own personal preference.

Taking out the cup win, we played good football and reached two cup finals under Stubbs so failed is too strong a word for his time at Hibs. I was though ready to move on from Stubbs before that final.

However failed would be an accurate description of his two subsequent attempts at management.

[CallumLaidlaw]

No, he's failed at every club including Hibs. Take out the cup win and he done bugger all.

What???? 3 semi finals out of 4 cup competitions. 2 finals from 4, and 1 cup win. All from the championship, from a squad he basically built himself. Signed and developed John Mcginn & Scott Allan, who went on to make hibs good money. Finished a whole 1 point worse off than Lennons team that won the league.

While stubbsys tactics were frustrating sometimes, particularly the teams lack of ability in breaking down defensive teams, he was far from a failure when it came to actual achievements.

Yep, this is what frustrates me about Lennon’s most vocal supporters. Downplaying Stubbs achievements at Hibs for no apparent reason. Stubbs was a great manager for us, first season was always a write off with Sevco and the plums in the league and not even having a team to begin with but still got a cup semi and playoffs, second season finalists in both major cup competitions and done what no other Hibs manager has done in over a century.

RE: Strachan. I recall an interview last year saying that he had been spending a lot of time in Edinburgh, for family reasons. Interim appointment may suit him and his circumstances.

Every player I’ve heard speaking about him has praised his coaching and man management style (Riordan aside). He has the knowledge, the cv and he’s going to command respect from the players.
He’s also out of work, unlike other potential targets....££££££
