Next hibs manager

[Green Reaper]

Think the first decision has to be whether we go for another inexperienced guy, and hope he is good enough tactically, or go for an experienced, maybe seen as unexiting, guy with the better tactical knowledge

[pacoluna]

If yogi hadn't had a spell here before in management he would be an absolute stick on, unbelievable job at falkirk, ICT and done a decent job with hartlepool, livingston and ourselves.

He would be my choice.

[Hi Heid Yin]

I'm starting to feel nostalgic about Alan Stubbs already.
It's too close to one of the greatest days we have all experienced and this thread seems so surreal.......understandable, but surreal all the same.

For what it's worth, I do like the idea of Yogi returning. If he could also get us a centre back in his own mould even better!

[Michael]

Owen Coyle........family live down south and by all account he want to be with them
Alex McLeish.......Appetite for the job?
John Hughes.......Possibly
Jackie McNamara...another possible
Paul Lambert.........would we be right for him
Steve Clark...........would we keep him for even two years
Billy Davies............difficult yo work with by all accounts
Stuart McCall........favourite for the gig

McCall might be an OK appointment...but I'm not sure.

John Hughes and Jackie McNamara have proven at Hibs and DU, respectively, that they are not good enough.

The rest are all finished.

[Sir David Gray]

Few folk have mentioned Alex Neil if he was available. Would be a good shout!

We're possibly about to lose our current manager to a team that's struggling near the bottom of the Championship so I would say that it's unlikely we'll be able to entice a manager who's currently at a club that will be hoping to get promoted from the Championship next season.

[ryan cass]

there's only one man for the job and thats Yogi but RP needs to give him the time and respect this time round

Give him the time as ICT did and look what he can achieve. Had no budget... Got ICT into Europe, always plays the right way, he lost 8 players last summer and still finished 5th (on points) in SPL. He's had more success than Stubbs over the last 2 seasons and everyone has been raving about him so why not Yogi???

The issue we may have is an English club beat us to it for his signature! Its a no brainer... GET YOGI BACK!! GGTTH

[Steviethebear]

Dougie Freedman 🙃 why are we looking backwards instead of forwards, we won't employ a previous manager won't happen

[KWJ]

I mind shortly before Yogi left last time the whole board apart from me and blackpool hibs wanted him out.

That said the Maribor game with Colin Nish up front with Stokes and Riordan on the bench was hard to defend.

[FifeHibs]

Although it would never happen imagine Di Canio

[Thecat23]

Yogi, John Collins etc won't be in contention in my opinion. Leeann wants fresh ideas with a Stubbs like coach so that would rule them out. Ian Cathro may be a shout.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Clarkey! Clarkey
Clarkey! Clarkey
Clarkey! Clarkey

[greenpaper55]

It would never be Hughes, the place was a shambles the last time he was here, by all accounts training was just letting the player erse about.

[Gordy M]

I think any new manager will be of a similar ilk to Stubbs. I think he will be highly thought of, young ambitious and possibly an under 21/assist manager somewhere. Im sure it was mentioned that hibs were trying to follow the southamlton/swansea model where changing the manager wouldnt cause to much upheaval?

[Eyrie]

Although it would never happen imagine Di Canio

A dream pairing with Malky Mackay :stirrer:

I think McCall would be the best bet to get us promoted, but I'm intrigued by the idea of Cathro.

Not interested in Davies, McNamara or Hughes, and GJP can GTF.

[Vault Boy]

Few folk have mentioned Alex Neil if he was available. Would be a good shout!

Rate him too, but I think there's no chance.

[Nicho87]

McLeish.

What a similar manager that lacks experience, when that's exactly what we need to get out this league, stubbs is a hero however domestically he has a lot to learn he has taking 2years and not got us up, I would be confident he would get us promoted 3rd time, however I wouldn't be willing to go for the same kind of appointment if he goes if it means another two years in this league due to inexperience.

[Gordy M]

Paul Lambert,yes. The others ,no.
My preference would be Michael O'Neill. He's on a very good contract with NI, so highly unlikely he would try again for the Hibs job.
If we could ignore, and he disowned his past associations and snide remarks about Hibs, Peter Houston would be a possibility.

We couldn't, because being a tosser is too deeply ingrained in Houston.

#STOKESYSONFIREYOURDEFENSEISTERRIFIED :flag:

If Yogi can explain in writing why his Hibs team fell apart at the end of the season he finished fourth, with a full acceptance that the balance was all wrong, and was completely reliant on one man (Stokes), with an appendix dedicated to explaining how to score goals in the Championship, then Id say he has got the attributes and desire to be Hibs manager (all IF Stubbs leaves).

[high bee]

Aye it worked a treat the last time we got an experienced guy right enough......

All the warning signs were there when we signed Butcher though. There were plenty to point out his awful career outside of ICT. It's a huge appointment, no room for error on this one.

I'd rather we had a short term view for this one, then give a promising coach a chance to build something, if Stubbs had arrived a year later and we were in the premiership we would've been up there in the mixer IMO.

[JimboHibs]

Absolutely no inside knowledge but I also am not convinced that Stubbs will see Rotherham as the right step in his career. Apart from earning more money on just don't see it as a great move. I could understand him going to an English Championship team challenging for promotion but does he fancy an inevitable relegation battle next season or Europe, winning promotion and having a shot at the cups again next year with Hibs?

Totally agree he'll no be leaving.

[The Green Goblin]

Has Stubbs left Hibs? It seems as if he has, judging by the last million posts with new managers' names getting chucked about like confetti at a wedding here on the board. But I haven't read that he has left us yet. He might leave, sure, but he hasn't left left Hibs yet. Just saying, or is that just me? It's just me, isn't it? :confused:

[Andy74]

We had Stack, McBride, Zemmama injured. The pitches that year were also the worst I can recall and we lacked another option when we couldn't play football.

I doubt we will be going back the way but the slump under Hughes had its reasons.

[blaikie]

Jimmy Calderwood .... I'm sure he would get us promoted easily but he isn't the big name to draw the crowds in.

[Hibbyradge]

Until Butcher that is.

I don't think the ICT fans were raving about him. Turgid possession football with the ball being played back and forth along their own 18 yard line. Sounds like his last 6 months or so here.

[Sir David Gray]

He really wouldn't be.

I would have to consider my attendance next season if Houston was appointed and I've already got my season ticket!

Thankfully there's no chance of him being approached.

You're right, but I don't see anything wrong with people speculating over a replacement when it looks like a foregone conclusion that Stubbs is on his way out. It doesn't do any harm, particularly when a great number of people are preempting their guesses with 'Stubbs is the preferred option.'

[Andy74]

I think Blackpool had given up long before me!

It's hardly a foregone conclusion he's gone though ??

[McIntosh]

Whoever it is they have a hard act to follow - they are replacing a legend

[Vault Boy]

It's hardly a foregone conclusion he's gone though ??

I said it looks like one, which I would argue it does given the club was rejecting the offer until Alan himself asked for permission. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't leave, happily surprised at that. Still, discussing the potential replacement of a manager who has requested permission to speak to another club is completely understandable.

[stantonhibby]

We had Stack, McBride, Zemmama injured. The pitches that year were also the worst I can recall and we lacked another option when we couldn't play football.

I doubt we will be going back the way but the slump under Hughes had its reasons.

As did the slump (league only) under Stubbs.

[Nemo]

it's Jackie McNamara 100%

[Dunbar Hibee]

it's Jackie McNamara 100%

I really ****ing hope not

[Hibbyradge]

Yep. Get York relegated out of the English league one month, get a top Scottish job the next.

He's a stick on.

Of course we would reject any advances from clubs and equally Stubbs would request permission to hear what any suitors have to say ....that's all that's happened nothing more.That hardly amounts to a foregone conclusion he's gone lol

[killie-hibby]

Reading between the lines it seems you dont believe in rehabilitation. Thats OK.

Hibs need to win the championship and it is my opinion he would do a much better job than most of the deadwood mentioned on this thread.

[rcarter1]

We had Stack, McBride, Zemmama injured. The pitches that year were also the worst I can recall and we lacked another option when we couldn't play football.

I doubt we will be going back the way but the slump under Hughes had its reasons.

Im not sure the pitches can really explain why we were getting humped (4-0,5-1 spring to mind) by St Johnstone and Hamilton towards the end. I went to a few games early in that season, and listened to the rest on radio. For most of that season - right from the get go - we were regularly dominated by the opposition, with Stokes getting the goals we needed to build up the impressive points haul that we managed to achieve. In short, there were signs all the way through that : apart from Stokes, the team was actually one of the worst teams in that league. Yogi shook his head in disbelief when the wheels fell off. I'd be delighted to have Yogi back - but only if he had the ability to look back objectively at the weaknesses of that team - with the knowledge therefore to prevent a similar mess.

[Hibbyradge]

McLeish won't be anywhere near the short list.

His disparaging remarks on Sky Sports will see to that. GJP.

[Vault Boy]

Of course we would reject any advances from clubs and equally Stubbs would request permission to hear what any suitors have to say ....that's all that's happened nothing more.That hardly amounts to a foregone conclusion he's gone lol

Hibernian giving permission to another club for them to speak to Stubbs on an official basis after a meeting with the man himself is quite a big step, so yeah that's 'all that has happened', but it really does appear to be a foregone conclusion - again, not saying it is definitively, but it seems to be the case. Alongside the journos who have said they've heard it's going to happen, the bookies odds and the job being publicly stated as Alan's if he wants it, I'm not sure how it can be seen as untoward to speculate over a new manager.

[Sevenil73]

Just saying , he's done a great job at the Pars

[Nutmegged]

I'd love to see big Eck back, I really would, I loved our swagger under him, he really toughened us up and brought some fine players, the question is does he have the apetite for it? I'd question whether he has a future anywhere else, I don't really see him managing anywhere else in England, I don't think the demand is there for him so if really wants another go at management I think Scotland is his answer.

He'll never get the Celtic job so IMO it's only Sevco, Aberdeen or us that he could do that with, I think if they moved back to Scotland he'd want to stay in Glasgow so I'd guess that rules out Aberdeen.

Sevco don't need a manager so by process of elimination I actually think Hibs could be in with a shout.

[Toldo123]

I agree. Not sure Rotherham is his preferred destination but if anything all this media coverage will get it out there that he is very much open to a move. I could be wrong but I think it is more of a 50/50 than a lot of us think.

At least, Sevco don't need a manager officially at the moment... But he respectfully magicked himself off on holiday immediately after the cup final, without unveiling their marquee signing or sitting down to sort out his new contract...

I've a feeling they'll be looking for a new manager soon enough.

So your saying its inevitable hes going to Rotherham based on the evidence he requested permission to talk to them/bookies odds/journos etc
grab the 1/10 available free cash if its a foregone conclusion.

This is getting difficult now... No, I'm still not saying that. I said it looks that way, not that it definitely is the case. The evidence is pointing that direction, that's it. I hope it all comes to nothing and Alan stays. With what has been released, it's completely reasonable for fans to speculate over a new manager.

No, and I never said it was, which is my point. :greengrin

Either way, Hibs are Scottish Cup champions. That was a foregone conclusion when we got the Rangers in the final.

[Hibbyradge]

Ahhh so it's not a foregone conclusion ;)

I think it is.

I'll be amazed if he stays and if he does, the fans will know that it won't be long until he does go and that won't be a pleasant situation.

If he wanted to stay, I'd happily keep him, but he's understandably ambitious so I think it's best if he goes now.

He's a Hibs legend and he's partly responsible for the best football day of my life. He goes with my respect and my best wishes.

[hibeedonald]

Really don't like the guy but I think Houston would be a good a appointment. 4th twice with Dundee United and did well with Falkirk. Knows this league well.

[bingo70]

Same rule applies.

In all seriousness though he doesn't have a reputation down south, he was a nothing player down there, don't think he did any coaching down there and don't really think he's got any association with anybody down there.

I also think his public perception is terrible as nobody can make out what the mumbling tramp ever says. There's probably also a feeling he's not doing it on his own and there's a lot of influence from Craig Levein.

[calumhibee1]

How come nobody is ever after Jobbie Neilson?

I also wonder that. Stubbs has failed twice to get us promoted with a better squad than the one that absolutely strolled the league for Hearts. Then they've ran away with third and still nobody is interested.

Stubbs had a great playing career, including big teams down south
Stubbs is a media darling who talks the talk for them
Stubbs learned his trade at Everton in an absolutely supperb set up bringing through players such as Wayne Rooney
Stubbs just done what no other manager done with hibs in 114

Neilson is a yam, who looks like an extra from trainspotting.

[JeMeSouviens]

I also wonder that. Stubbs has failed twice to get us promoted with a better squad than the one that absolutely strolled the league for Hearts. Then they've ran away with third and still nobody is interested.

Because everyone thinks it's really Levein with Neilson as front man. Obviously with that Captain Caveman charisma you can see why. :rolleyes:

Levein has admitted in interviews he was too thin skinned to be a manager. He never got over the total slagging he got for the 4-6-0 in Prague. :dummytit:

Surely he would understand why we are discussing it seeing as he is away discussing another job offer?

[jacomo]

Yeah but we all know how football works.

Stubbs has asked to speak to another club about their vacancy... If he decides to stay at Hibs after this, his authority will undoubtedly be eroded a little. Potential targets will be more doubtful about moving here, while the existing squad will think it's only a matter of time before he goes.

[pacoluna]

Graham Potter is a young manager who has done miracles at Ostersunds FK, He knows all about promotion having lead them from 4th tier to the allsvenskan top flight. Billy reid is his assistant who done a decent job at Hamilton.

Mental to think Reid turned down Swansea.

[Moulin Yarns]

This forum doesn't represent Hibs fans as a whole, It's a forum. Its obvious that this topic would be being discussed


Surely he would understand why we are discussing it seeing as he is away discussing another job offer?


Yeah but we all know how football works.

Stubbs has asked to speak to another club about their vacancy... If he decides to stay at Hibs after this, his authority will undoubtedly be eroded a little. Potential targets will be more doubtful about moving here, while the existing squad will think it's only a matter of time before he goes.

Let me get this right, you are all saying that nobody posted anything about the names they wanted to replace Alan Stubbs until last night, after it was announced Rotherham had been given permission to speak to him.

No didn't think so. Let's take a bit of Mark Warburton's warblings, and say how about respectfully not speaking about other people you want as manager while we have a good manager in place. It is disrespectful.

[The Green Goblin]

Has Stubbs left Hibs? It seems as if he has, judging by the last million posts with new managers' names getting chucked about like confetti at a wedding here on the board. But I haven't read that he has left us yet. He might leave, sure, but he hasn't left left Hibs yet. Just saying, or is that just me? It's just me, isn't it? :confused:


You're right, but I don't see anything wrong with people speculating over a replacement when it looks like a foregone conclusion that Stubbs is on his way out. It doesn't do any harm, particularly when a great number of people are preempting their guesses with 'Stubbs is the preferred option.'


It's hardly a foregone conclusion he's gone though ??


I said it looks like one, which I would argue it does given the club was rejecting the offer until Alan himself asked for permission. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't leave, happily surprised at that. Still, discussing the potential replacement of a manager who has requested permission to speak to another club is completely understandable.


Of course we would reject any advances from clubs and equally Stubbs would request permission to hear what any suitors have to say ....that's all that's happened nothing more.That hardly amounts to a foregone conclusion he's gone lol


Hibernian giving permission to another club for them to speak to Stubbs on an official basis after a meeting with the man himself is quite a big step, so yeah that's 'all that has happened', but it really does appear to be a foregone conclusion - again, not saying it is definitively, but it seems to be the case. Alongside the journos who have said they've heard it's going to happen, the bookies odds and the job being publicly stated as Alan's if he wants it, I'm not sure how it can be seen as untoward to speculate over a new manager.


So your saying its inevitable hes going to Rotherham based on the evidence he requested permission to talk to them/bookies odds/journos etc
grab the 1/10 available free cash if its a foregone conclusion.


This is getting difficult now... No, I'm still not saying that. I said it looks that way, not that it definitely is the case. The evidence is pointing that direction, that's it. I hope it all comes to nothing and Alan stays. With what has been released, it's completely reasonable for fans to speculate over a new manager.


Ahhh so it's not a foregone conclusion ;)


No, and I never said it was, which is my point. :greengrin

Either way, Hibs are Scottish Cup champions. That was a foregone conclusion when we got the Rangers in the final.

What a wee stooshie in a tea cup I have caused here...

I am not suggesting there is anything "untoward" about speculating. The point I was trying to make, and which I think Golden Fleece gets...

...is that this has moved to a point beyond speculation and people are now treating Stubbs' departure as a .net FACT, when actually he is still our manager. That's all. :aok:

Yesterday I said the same thing.

Then the club confirmed the rumours were true. Stubbs is considering his future away from this club. I'd like him to stay but it seems he thinks different, so no wonder fans are now discussing who they would like as his replacement.

[The_Horde]

I've seen many a hibs legend end their hibs careers in a haze. I don't want Stubbsy to do that, so he leaves now as a total legend. Whilst I'll be sad to see him go, I think we can replace him. There are plenty of managers out there capable of doing so and in Dempster we definitely have the right person to find him.

If he stays, that's good too and shows how brave and determined he is. Mon the Hibs :thumbsup:

Andy we seem to be agreeing on a lot lately, this can't continue! 😁

You are correct though, when it comes to players or managers 99% will better themselves for the sake of family. I've no problem at all with anyone leaving to make more money because if he failed to gain promotion then no one will touch him.

Suppose the other side is if he won is the league he'd maybe get a better job!! But it's all about the now in football.

I don't think Hibs could afford him but I'd take him. In all honesty I would have a lot of the ones suggested as I don't care who they have played for or managed before. I just wouldn't want a former manager like Yogi or Mixu. We need to move forward not back the way.

[matty_f]

I think we need someone that ticks the same boxes as Stubbs - background at a top club so knows the standards that need to be set and met, media friendly, ambitious with a winning mentality, plays an expansive attacking game, happy to work with young players, puts an emphasis on getting a good team spirit through good man-management. Has a profile beyond Scotland.

In a heartbeat. Wouldn't be universally welcomed I know but he's a winner and that's the attitude we need next season.

I doubt we could attract him but he needs to get back in the game after the Bolton gig which for a number of reasons never worked out for him.

Yeah he'd be crazy not to speak to them and see what they have to offer. The English Championship is a huge league to play in. It's not great for us but that's football and managers will always come and go.

The key to the next appointment is getting us out of this league rather than trying to find the next young successful manager. IMO that means someone with experience, not necessarily a man that can take the club on for the next 3-4 seasons.

[hibsmad]

Would love Lennon. As mentioned above, he is a winner.

Don't think it would happen mind you. Think he sees himself as being able to manage at a higher level than the Scottish Championship, and rightly so. Plenty more money for him to earn in England, I would think.

If any football club manager allowed the online ramblings of a tiny minority of supporters to affect him, then I'd be questioning his judgement.

Football supporters are the most fickle of breeds. Loads of folk wanted rid 10 days ago. Now the same people love him and are gnashing their teeth over his possible departure.

Stubbs decisions aren't even slightly based on what folk on here are saying, whether they're by 7 year olds or 70 year olds.

Who's next is a valid question on any day at any football club.

Indeed, I'd be very disappointed in Leeanne Dempster if she hasn't been thinking along those lines for some time.

It's called succession planning.

B) he's worked wonders with that NI team and i'd assume will leave straight for an EPL gig
C) he's spoken openly about being slandered by someone at hibs about his apparent alcohol abuse being the reason behind him not getting the job last time.

Not going to happen.

Personally I think Legend Alan Stubbs would be doing the right thing in moving on just now while his star is in the ascendancy as per being the Manager who got that Scottish Cup monkey off our backs. It has prevented the hertz and the likes of Tam Cowan, Makeitup Jackson et al harping on about the Boer War etc.

Any one of - Michael O Neill, Yogi, T Wright, S McCall, Martin Canning etc who are all proven Managers would do for me or anyone else who has a proven track record of the Scottish or similar game to 'win' the league next season.

That wasn't a mistake eh?However in a roundabout way, if Butcher hadn't happened?

[FamousSix]

Young manager with good experience in the English Premiership and at International level.
He has done a good job getting East Fife promoted as league winners this season. He comes from Edinburgh and his short spell at Hearts is dwarfed by his career at Everton and other Champioship Clubs.

Like Stubbs is making his way in Management and is probably looking to step up after his success at East Fife.

[HibsNibs]

Steve Clarke, but I doubt he'd take a Scottish 2nd div gig. Failing that, Owen "Barclays premier league" Coyle - needs to rebuild his rep after a fail in Texas & has the charisma & know how to get us up.

[GreenCastle]

McCall - die hard Rangers man
Hartley - zero chance and would never come to us - plus I wouldn't want him.
Yogi - why did ICT get rid ?

Michael O'Neil - euro 2016 to managing Hibs in the championship - no chance plus wouldn't be free from his job for weeks.

Cathro - not as head coach / manager - better at developing players than being the main man.

He may step up - but having met the guy and dealt with him I personally don't think he's ready to be the main man at a club such as Hibs.

He went to Portugal as he met Nuno on a UEFA A course.

Nuno then got the Valenica job and took Cathro. Nuno was sacked then Cathro ended up at Newcastle.

He's build up a decent CV and experience but personally I don't think he's suited to be the main manager and would be better suited to support and coach - this is where his qualities are.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

A) he's on a new deal at NI, lasting quite some time - we won't be in a position to buy that out, AS comp or not.

No, I've never said it hasn't been discussed before but he wouldn't be surprised to learn we are discussing new managers when he is off discussing a new job, especially given the wording of Hibs statement.

As for before, some would say it's disrespectful, others would say it's modern football and it's a results business. When it's not going your way people get restless and start discussing other candidates, just like when players are underperforming. Personally, I wouldn't like it if it was me, in this circumstance, (I would have no issue if it was after I went to discuss another job) but for this reason I wouldn't be a football manager.

Agree on Yogi but Neil Lennon is a highly rated coach. If he came to Hibs (& I'm not convinced we have either the budget or the location for him) he wouldn't have the hassles he got at Celtic nor the club in meltdown issues he had at Bolton.
I think he has the hardness about him to get performances out of the players and would command the respect of the players.

The fact the Sevconians would be raging is a huge bonus.

Absolutely! I think the board have a simple decision to make initially - do we go for potential like we did with Stubbs or do we bring in somebody who is proven at getting teams out of this league. I have to agree with some other posters that Hughes ticks all the boxes but I'm not convinced the board will go back to him. Stubbs is not away yet though although its looking more and more likely

[cad]

Steve Evans recently shown the door at Leeds could maybe do a job ,but theres that many to choose from ,surprised Jimmy Calderwood`s name hasn't appeared yet it usually does , a few calls the the return of Yogi or McLeish just annoys me , the O`Neill shout IMO would be a pleasant surprise if true but I think he has bigger fish to fry .

A Hibs manager has a 2 or 3 year window whether he`s rank or successful some even shorter than that ,Stubbsy with what he started with has done a great job, he goes down in the history books along with the players so well done to all concerned , I wish him every success in whatever he does whether he stays or goes ,on a purely financial take he wont be a more valuable asset to Hibs than he is right now,plus still being in the Championship the cash if he goes will give the next guy some funds for the transfer market.

At a time when the club is moving forward I cant see for the life of me why so many people want us to return to the failed choices of the past and those that have hung around the Scottish game like a bad smell.

Hughes, after a bright start completely lost the plot and showed no clue as to how to address it

McLeish, sold us down the river and left us is a bad way

Mowbray, post Hibs a nightmare

McCall, his constant disrespecting of the club in the media should see him ruled out, he has no chance anyway, far too divisive a choice

Houston, seriously?

Coyle, trading on a couple of good seasons with other folks teams at the start of his career

Collins, would cause a row in an empty house

Lennon, (either) one has proved nothing, I could have won those leagues with Celtic, the other won a cup with St Mirren, but has been abysmal since

Hartley, Aye right

Jimmy Calderwood? lazy thinking, the guy is a dinosaur. There is a reason he has never had a sniff of another job

Delia, the guy is mental, again I could have won the league with Celtic over the period he has, probably more convincingly.

The club is more united than it has been for many years, we would be better going for a unifying candidate, rather than any of the above who all carry way to much baggage and will alienate large swathes of the support

[pacoluna]

Steve Evans recently shown the door at Leeds could maybe do a job ,but theres that many to choose from ,surprised Jimmy Calderwood`s name hasn't appeared yet it usually does , a few calls the the return of Yogi or McLeish just annoys me , the O`Neill shout IMO would be a pleasant surprise if true but I think he has bigger fish to fry .

A Hibs manager has a 2 or 3 year window whether he`s rank or successful some even shorter than that ,Stubbsy with what he started with has done a great job, he goes down in the history books along with the players so well done to all concerned , I wish him every success in whatever he does whether he stays or goes ,on a purely financial take he wont be a more valuable asset to Hibs than he is right now,plus still being in the Championship the cash if he goes will give the next guy some funds for the transfer market.

Lets give John Aldridge another shot at management.

[guthrie01]

Getting more tempted to see John Hughes back at ER. We need a solid start to the season just like Hearts and The Rangers. We showed exactly how bad the Rangers really are at the finals yet they still breezed it so to me getting someone who can achieve 1st by Christmas is ideal. Yogi knows the setup, he always has a blinder of a first season before things fall apart. Punt him after he gets us out if Leeann feels it necessary. Also gotten Falkirk out of this league so he knows what's required.

[Vault Boy]

I don't think he's even been sacked by Leeds yet, but their chairman has been actively looking for a new manager - strange one. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y4dIKhmUQg)

[FifeHibs]

That chairman tried to ban sky sports from broadcasting on the day of a game, changes manager every 3 months. Although by all accounts Steve Evans is a nasty piece of work.

Yogi was decent until February, then we went on one of the worst runs I've ever seen before he was sacked. Also had a terrible record in big games - didn't win a derby or progress in the cup under him.

If he's learned from his mistakes (and looks to have to some degree at Inverness) then fair enough - but there's others I'd choose before him.

If by 'got blasted' you mean "at least one poster questioned Doolan's qualifications to be Hibs Head Coach and thinks that he gets mooted because he celebrates a lot", you're spot on. Why do you think that Doolan is suggested way more than Holden, despite Holden being far more experienced and more senior in our setup?

[highland hibbee]

In a heartbeat. Wouldn't be universally welcomed I know but he's a winner and that's the attitude we need next season.

I doubt we could attract him but he needs to get back in the game after the Bolton gig which for a number of reasons never worked out for him.


Funnily enough, ugh, as a man I had less than no time for when he was at Celtic, I was actually thinking about him today, and would certainly give him the chance. Unlikely we could afford him, but as you say, he's needing back into football. So , I never thought I would ever say this, but it's a yes from me.

Because Doolan runs the majority of the coaching day 2 day.

I suggested it as i said he knows the squad already, he knows the league already, he's in place already. If we are going for a rookie, he should be top of the list.Holden likes to stay in the background i thought?

Has Jim McIntyre been mentioned yet?

Even if it was just to stop him from pissing us off.

My concern with him would be his network although he's done well bringing in guys like Shalk.

Bet Victor have started taking bets on next manager,Yogi early favourite

For anyone thinking of lumping on Yogi it might be worthwhile remembering what was said when Stubbs was appointed.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/hibernian/10923429/Hibernian-name-Alan-Stubbs-as-new-head-coach.html

George Craig seemed keen to stress there that it is a European type model with a head coach rather than a traditional type manager, I'd be surprised if we abandoned this concept after one appointment.

IMO it'll be a coach from down south that gets the gig.

[GreenCastle]

Won't be Yogi - can't stand RP

LD knows McCall from her Motherwell days.

I would also consider Stubbs the manager - he does coach but mostly Doolan and co do that.

We need someone who can bring it together not just a good coach (that's why I think Cathro would be a poor choice).

[madhatter]

I would like us to go foreign with a head coach well connected in France, Netherlands or Portugal etc. Doesn't have to be at a top club or even employed as head coach but I'd like to see us bring something new to the table and our head coach style already suits this. British clubs still largely run "Manager" roles and this has rarely suited us as our club gets ripped apart every time we have to sack or replace a manager. The head coach approach makes it more sustainable. DO NOT GO FOR EX-HIBS OR MCCALL PLEASE!

[SaulGoodman]

I heard McCall drinks coffee. That won't go down well with some on here.

Is he good at spitting it all over his monitor?

[The Kaiser]

Needs to be someone with a bit more experience. Not sure who's available to be honest.

[cad]

Steve Evans is a bigger lunatic than Yogi


Funny Ive always found him to be exactly the opposite, opinions eh

[thebausburst]

Gary Neville anyone :dunno:

[Vault Boy]

Maybe it will be more from the left field than we're thinking, someone from abroad that we've not heard of perhaps? Whatever the case, I fully trust Leeann to make the best choice for the club.

[madhatter]

Needs to be someone with a bit more experience. Not sure who's available to be honest.

Disagree. We just need a good Head Coach that can destroy this league. Butcher is an example of an experienced manager who failed. McCall is another example at Rangers last season, failed during the time he was there. We need forward thinking now. Enough of past times of the old boy on the block and the local Hibs boy who made it in the game or a failed manager returning. People talk of Mowbray, Collins etc. - do they not realise that living in the past or within a safety net rarely produces success? Our club has suffered from the expected, recruit smartly and with ambition. We cannot just recruit a manager to get us out of this league, we need one that will be with us for at least 1 season after we get up.

[Joe Baker2]

Ok, lots of good posts but can we now summarise who we think are the front runners?

[madhatter]

I pray Hibs have been discussing replacements as I thought this was a cert to happen even before cup final. Things just didn't seem right. His interviews became more sullen and less enthusiastic towards the end. He has done a Scott Allan and spoke about staying etc. but we knew he was likely to go.

[Finn2015]

Ok, lots of good posts but can we now summarise who we think are the front runners?

Would be useful!

[Captain Trips]

I would like Coyle think it will be Ian Murray.

[Vault Boy]

Ok, lots of good posts but can we now summarise who we think are the front runners?

We have absolutely no idea. Leeann will choose whoever she sees fit and last time that selection stumped everybody.

[superfurryhibby]

We need someone with some standing in the game and the nous to get the best out a talented squad of players.

Given the Leeann connection I suspect it will be the ginger mulleted laddie. Always admired McCall as a player, hard as **** and no little skill. He has a good track record and I'll look forward to welcoming him to ER.

41% win ratio at Mutherwell is no mean feat.

[thebausburst]

Ok, lots of good posts but can we now summarise who we think are the front runners?

Coyle
McCall
McIntyre
McLeish
Doolan

[Captain Trips]

There is no way Hibs have been sitting waiting on Stubbs to go, so Hibs will likely have been looking at possible people who may not have actually applied.

[Andy74]

I would like Coyle think it will be Ian Murray.

No danger.

[superfurryhibby]

Here's some who I think have no chance of the gig,

Yogi
Ian Murray (you're having alaugh surely)
Neil Lennon
Jimmy Calderwood
Louis Van Gaal

[tamig]

Bet Victor have started taking bets on next manager,Yogi early favourite

Please no.

[sleeping giant]

No way will Ian Murray be in the frame.
No chance

[500miles]

I think Yogi is being spoken about a bit unfairly. He's always come across as receptive to new ideas, such as hood time under Collins at Livi. He's well liked by his players, and respected by George Craig. He has experience, but I don't think he can be accused of being a dinosaur.

[SaulGoodman]

Steve Evans parted company with Leeds

Hmm

[stantonsboots]

Please no. I would take yogi in a heartbeat he would win us this league! but it's not going to happen him and petrie cant stand the sight of each other!

[Bostonhibby]

Steve Evans is a bigger lunatic than Yogi

His natural home is at the yam or the rangers, jeez, he even looks like one.

Evans was Boston United manager between 1998 and 2007 but was suspended for 20 months and convicted of tax fraud while in charge at the club.

He was given a 12-month suspended sentence for disguising wages and bonuses as expenses at the Lincolnshire club.

The club were docked four points and fined £100,000 by the FA.

Boston were relegated from the Football League in 2007 and Evans and assistant Raynor resigned shortly after.


When he talks he waffles a bit like a mini Butcher to me. Surely there's no way Hibs are going to step this far back after taking some strides forward. Would have a real job backing this guy. Boston still haven't recovered from this rather familiar way of gaining an advantage / cheating.

[Finn2015]

Steve Evans is a big Celtic supporter lol so maybe not a natural home at ipox at any rate!

[stantonsboots]

No danger.judas is fav inside easter road I'm told but owen coyle is also being mentioned?

[tamig]

I would take yogi in a heartbeat he would win us this league! but it's not going to happen him and petrie cant stand the sight of each other!

Yogi plays the game narrower than Stubbsy's diamond. Turgid football. No thanks from me.

[makaveli1875]

he wouldnt have much to do with petrie if dempster is running the show

[Joe Baker2]

Leeann's a smart cookie and will have doing her succession planning for some months now. I reckon the CV's landing on the door mat now are too late. She just needs to work out her criteria and bag the right candidate. Announcement within 48 hours?

[col02]

I could see a coaching team of Stuart McCall, Kevin Thomson and Boozy working well at Hibs.

[Andy74]

John Collins but doubt that will happen as he probably doesn`t get on with RP.
McCall would be my second choice.

True enough. :agree: I'm more making the point that going for inexperience is not an acceptable risk any longer, with a fourth season down here unthinkable.
