Not sure he would be seen as a head coach though, certainly someone you want in your set up but not much experience as an actual coach, more of an organiser, or helper of coaches if that makes sense.

[CapitalGreen]

Got a text from a mate that plays for Swansea (dont ask who he could get in trouble), there coach Dave Adams really popular with a lot of the players especially the younger lads has texted a few of them suggesting hes about to make a big move and finished it with that wee (NG) green and white flag. Screenshot was sent to me could be on his way up, interesting as would fit the Alan Stubbs "promising coach" type mould. Dont shoot the messenger just passing on info!

Possibly joining up with Rodgers at Celtic?

Unlikely to be telling folk he was away before we have even concluded interviews.

He would have worked with Rodgers before when at Swansea wouldn't he?

[The_Horde]

Don't think so, he's only been there a few years as far as i can see?

[HappyHanlon]

One of my clients based down in Rhyl reckons Dean Saunders would be a perfect fit for us. Plays a standard of football similar to what Stubbs had us playing.

[QMU-1875]

Nope he wasnt at Swansea when Rodgers was there.

Just another quick update, anyone thinking that Yogi and McCall were interviewed today, they've been nowhere to be seen in here. The only other person that looks like they have been spoken to other than Gemmill is someone I have no recognition of whatsoever. As I say, I could be making assumptions out of nothing. Gemmill certainly seems to have been spoken to today.

One part of what you say is completely spot on!

When did this happen? Because a family member said nothing from Hibs as of yet.

[dp00]

Some names on here I ain't seen mentioned before... Anyone know anything about Aaron Moffat ??

A true Hibby who most would like to see shining on Leith sadly I don't think his true talents and compassion are appreciated.

Maybe so, I would prefer someone new at the helm rather than going back.

[pacoluna]

He is in a better position now to manage HIbs than he was before, more experience and success, the fact that we are in the chship I would gladly welcome him back. Absolutely no doubts he would get Hibs back to the spl!

[Waxy]

Out of all the previous managers, Yogi i would be happy with.

[Bishop Hibee]

I'd be unhappy if it is Yogi. One close season all he signed was Michael Hart and Edwin de Graaf.

[Gmack7]

Gary Holt is good shout

[Paloschi]

Cannot believe people want Yogi back.

He had a 35.19% win ratio at Hibs. Almost the same as Pat Fenlon who had a 35.63% working with a worse squad (source Wiki - could be wrong)

Hughes transfers included, as others have mentioned, De Graaf, Hart, Duffy, Trakys and Gow. 5 Completely useless tosspots!

As i said on another thread the 6-6 game summed up his tenure. Started well then a massive downward spiral that started the modern decline of our football club.

I hold him very responsible for where we are as much as I do of Calderwood, Fenlon and Butcher.

[Michael]

Why would anyone want Yogi back? As much as I like Yogi, we were absolutely dire from January 2010 onwards under him. He's done well at certain clubs, but he's not a good fit for Hibs.

[pacoluna]

Gary Holt is good shout

I personally want someone who will stick at Hibernian for a while - He left falkirk after one year.

What to use hibs as a stepping stone?

The chship doesn't excite me, stubbs failed to get us out of it 2 years running why would we want someone in " the same mould"

[Sean1875]

What to use hibs as a stepping stone?

if it's going to get us back into a good position in Scottish football then yes I would take that. Realistically whenever a team in Scotland does well outside the OF their manager is going to be headhunted and away no matter what, sad reality.

edit: because someone in the same mould would be a young, exciting, hungry manager who has us playing good football and the players enjoy playing under. can you remember a time between Mowbray and Stubbs where the players had such passion and desire and truly loved playing for Hibernian FC? I can't. and that's largely down to Stubbs.

[FitbaFolkKen]

Didn't enjoy Yogis first tenure so I can't imagine I would enjoy his second.

[Thecat23]

Because that's the future of the game. Guys like Yogi etc are a dying breed. Look at the bigger picture here.. Stubbs first season in he had the biggest rebuilding job any Hibs manager had faced in god knows how long! Moral was at its lowest and the club had dropped out the league. We were NEVER winning it that season.

Second season he takes us to 2 cup finals and wins the most important one. We should also have beaten RC that day! Yes we failed to get up due to a last min goal from a team who got lucky. But believe me you honestly think if the players hadn't played all those games we wouldn't go up? I'm convinced Hibs would have won the play offs if we had been bumped out those cups early rounds.

So again you ask why we want someone in that mould? Glad Leeann is in charge and not you. She sees a bigger picture and that's why Stubbs will do well down south and Yogi will float about the Killie, St. Mirren type jobs.

[Brightside]

Hibs are a stepping stone. Anyone thinking otherwise hasn't been keeping an eye on scottish football over the last 20 years. We are probably just above the Welsh league now.

Tony mowbray had the blessing of having a group of youngsters that where the next best thing to the famous 5

Allan stubbs did make some good signings and won us the holy grail however failed to meet his objective and jumped at first opportunity to move- Still has a lot to prove/learn in my opinion - one bad season at rotherham and steve evans will be back.

Leeann dempster is the best thing to have happened to hibs within the past 5 years however its crucial she appoints a manager that has the credentials to get us out this league asap - not just stick to a particular criteria that stubbsy fitted.

[Thecat23]

Exactly.

'Guys who know how to get out of this division' are

Terry Butcher
Ian McCall
Derek Adams
Mark Warburton
Alex Neil (where was his experience?)
Robbie Nielsen (as above)
Jackie McNamara (as above)
Jim McIntyre (as above)
Derek McInnes (as above)
Paul Hartley (came from Alloa)

So from that list do you reckon those that already had experience are the more attractive propositions or those who were given a chance to start their managerial careers?

To say a new manager has less chance than an experienced one at winning the league is simply incorrect.

Stubbs, Warburton and Nielsen were all new to managing in Scotland and have all had success. Peter Houston is the alternative!

[Sean1875]

Agreed Mowbray did have an extremely fortunate group of players but he still got them playing great football and got them showing a real passion for the club, you can have all the talent in the world but if you've not got the right man leading them and making them gel it's useless.

Granted he failed to get us promoted but I think (as previously mentioned) that's largely due to (ironically) our success in the cup runs which eventually took its toll on our players. we go out in the earlier rounds like Falkirk and we walk 2nd place and I believe the play offs too. just my opinion though.

I just feel there is no benefit in hiring back a manager who we have already sacked, just as much a risk in my opinion.

[biotech]

I'd go for a young manager, with coaching experience, who brings fresh ideas and energy to the job (e.g. Stubbs). This seems to suit Hibs style of football and would build on the work done by Stubbs.

[pacoluna]

Petrie appointed Yogi as manager. They managed to get on well enough then, I don't think this is an issue.

But Yogi himself crumbled under the expectations of the job. His final couple of months in particular were awful.

He's a more experienced manager now. His achievements at ICT were impressive. But I'm far from convinced we should go back.

Forgive my pedantry, but it was Alan Archibald that got Partick Thistle promoted after McNamara left. Doesn't affect the point you're making in any way though.

And they can't be one and the same?

It's a fair point and recent experience would say not really, it is a different kettle of fish playing open football against teams that are wiling to attack back and playing against teams that sit in.

The diamond or the 352 but using defenders as wing backs isn't what has worked in this league often enough.

Pace, power and width works well - you can do that in addition to playing passing football. I'm not sure that is ever going to be Stubbs' game so I think that's where some are saying that someone not in the Stubbs mould is what we need for this point in time.

Thanks Stevie, I'd say it actually enforces it as I'd far rather have Archibald than McNamara although I'd would be disappointed with both.

I'd say the standard has gone up since we joined but it's never lacked for competitiveness.

At it's highest standard it was Robbie bloody Nielson that pissed it in his first season as a head coach.

I'd had mixed feelings about Lennon, but to be honest the prospects excites me. Great contacts in the game, successful manager with a real pulling effect and must have a list of potential signings from all over the world the size of his arm. Sign me up.

How does it take this long to sort out compensation if we were prepared for this? Club would be perfectly within their right to begin talking to suitors as soon as Stubbs indicated he wanted to leave which I'm assuming happened after cup win...this is just the official "see ya, I'm leaving".

I am warming to this idea more and more. Great connections, desire to win. Also Rodgers is going to get a bucket load to spend so might have a chance of stokes and or Henderson again?

To me that article is a load of pish. It states Houston as a strong contender for example...:rolleyes:

[madhatter]

Weird, that.

That combined with no announcement from Hibs and "resigned" being used at Rotherham announcement with no thanks to Hibs for allowing them to talk to Stubbs...

Hopefully just coincidences but Taff won't be staying I think unless he loves it here. They'll sign partnership and follow it up with Taff I think.

[3pm]

Now Stubbs has had a look around Rotherham and he realises it's a dump, Leanne might as well call up and ask for permission to speak to him. £85 compensation.

He'll be back the morn.

Just another quick update, anyone thinking that Yogi and McCall were interviewed today, they've been nowhere to be seen in here. The only other person that looks like they have been spoken to other than Gemmill is someone I have no recognition of whatsoever. As I say, I could be making assumptions out of nothing. Gemmill certainly seems to have been spoken to today.

Have you seen Leeann Dempster or anyone else who works for Hibs? :cb

[the_ginger_hibee]

Will be someone in mould of Stubbs as that's what the board feel works best, young with potential - Gemmil, Cathro or Moffat most likely as per the odds.

We failed to reach the playoffs final twice with this "mould". I think it is time this season to have a wore the t shirt manager, then the onus shifts to the manager ie Coyle or Neil Lennon type. If a Gemmil or Cathro fail the board have nowhere to go.

Will be someone in mould of Stubbs as that's what the board feel works best, young with potential - Gemmil, Cathro or Moffat most likely as per the odds.

It will be an outsider we never expected so could be

That combined with no announcement from Hibs and "resigned" being used at Rotherham announcement with no thanks to Hibs for allowing them to talk to Stubbs...

Hopefully just coincidences but Taff won't be staying I think unless he loves it here. They'll sign partnership and follow it up with Taff I think.

Anyone in the know how 'resigned' being used affects any compo we'll get for the pair of them? I was always in the understanding that meant the departing team got nought. Muchos gracias in advance!

What about getting to the last 16 of the Champions League in a group with Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow. Could you do that too?


We failed to reach the playoffs final twice with this "mould". I think it is time this season to have a wore the t shirt manager, then the onus shifts to the manager ie Coyle or Neil Lennon type. If a Gemmil or Cathro fail the board have nowhere to go

As I highlighted on the last page, the majority of managers to win this league of late have been of that mould. Derek McInnes, Robbie Nielson and Alex Neill to name 3. I mentioned a few others on previous post.

That said, it's hard to get excited by someone you know little about as their own man and Stubbs started slowly in both seasons. Neil Lennon would fill my with confidence that we'd go up in a similar manner to the 98/99 season.

Hughes has achieved much more than Stubbs, and McCall had Motherwell 2nd and 3rd twice in the top league. I'd take either, couldnt give a toss what people think of them its promotion or sacked, thats the new mans options.

Yogi's record was worse than Williamsons. He was very poor here at the end and his signings were poor too. I'd take McCall if I had too. I' agree we have to win the league though but I don't think either is what LD is after.

For the record Stubbs for me is miles better and winning the Scottish Cup while in the championship and knocking out who we did on the way beats 4th in the league for me. I appreciate you may feel different!

I carry some kind of inherit skepticism over managers that have done well with Caley Thistle, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

[green day]

Whatever we do, I am confident LD and GC had the wheels in motion anyway.

Winning the cup was magic, but I said beforehand that Stubbs had to go whatever happened (simply due to the failure two years on the trot to gain promotion).

I am fairly confident that we had people lined up / in mind in the event that he walked / was sacked.

The fact that we now have cash from the cup runs, compensation for Stubbs etc makes us an even more attractive proposition to many managers - and means that the candidate pool is probably larger now.

This is much, much better than the scenario when the t1t Butcher was emptied - took far too long, and left Stubbs with next to no time to prep the season.

I think and hope we will have someone lined up within a week.

[hibsdaft]

Hughes has taken a team from the highlands with 2 bob 4 fruit pastiles and a couple of black jacks to Europe and Scottish cup success, along with a 4th place finish with us and Europe too.

Williamson also won the Scottish Cup, Stubbs is indeed in great company with his cup win, but obviously 2 attempts to get out of the 2nd division and actually finishing 3rd behind Falkirk is as much of a failure as anything Hughes did at Hibs.

[gaz88]

John Hughes for me. Won promotion with Falkirk.Vastly experienced, fantastic coach and knows the Scottish game inside out. Has unfinished business with Hibs. Hopefully the board can show a bit of vision for the good of the club...

[brog]

In all the talk about AS failing to get us out of the Championship I've not seen one mention of the ludicrous "non penalty" decision which cost us a place in the play off final. Have we forgotten already? If that had been Celtc a full public inquiry would have been called for by now. Kenny Miller's offside goal last season was a more understandable refereeing error but still contributed to our failure to get promoted. By all means criticise AS but let's not forget the part played by Alan Muir & his incompetent brethren.

It happens. Not many talk about the decisions that cost us top six under Fenlon for example.

We shouldn't really have been close enough to Falkirk's level over 2 games for one non penalty to be a major issue.

[dmc1875]

The decisions at the end of that season, the "goal" scored by Griffiths and the blatant foul outside the box given as a penalty at Dundee United were quite unbelievable I'd forgotten about them until now!

Add to that the season we got relegated, Jordan forsters header at Tynie to make it 1-1 that was somehow chopped off and the numerous cleared efforts off the line in many games just goes to show how much horrific luck we have had over the last few years

[tamig]

Dunno. I'm just talking managers that could do a job. If Stubbs was decent then Hughes has done some things just as good or better. Some with Hibs, some not.

What did Hughes do better at Hibs? He limped to European football, ballsed up his selection/set up in the away leg and ended up playing square ball narrow football along our own 18 yard line. Do you think that was better than we've seen the past two seasons - albeit in a lower league? Yogi's football isn't any better than wee Pat's imo. Ask any ICT fan. Turgid stuff.

[Captain Trips]

We were 2-1 away to Falkirk the penalty is an excuse. We got over it and got ahead in the tie, we blew it.

[tamig]

So managers don't improve? I'm pretty sure no one was happy with Yogi the last few months he was manager of Hibs.

But that does not mean he hasn't improved as a manager. Learn from your mistakes.

He has had some good finishes with ICT. I know, Butcher did as well! But Yogi is Hibs through and through. He'll care for the club and where we are a lot more than that cretin did.

[leithsansiro]

This is not going to be the scrabbling around we had before after Calderwood, Fenlon and Butcher.

Our board will have been planning for this since Stubbs was first speaking to Rotherham last Oct.

If they have any sense, they'd have already compiled a list of candidates to maintain our system and approaches.

And in terms of some of the names quoted, did anyone predict Stubbs or Mowbray prior to their appointments?

I haven't heard of an ICT fan who isn't glad to see the back of him. That speaks volumes to me.

[Neilbooks]

I really hope it isn't Yogi. I'm sure he's a lovely guy who'd run through a brick wall for us and he'll bleed Hibs and all that, but he's had a shot. I'm not one for the unfinished business argument. We need someone new and preferably someone who doesn't spend a significant whack of the budget on a 'goalkeeping school of excellence' that reaches it's peak in a 6-6 draw, doesn't spend press conferences talking about how he used to wet the bed with his brother and ideally doesn't revert to cliches in press conferences about the need to 'build a siege mentality' or try to excuse failings because 'fitba folk know what's happening here'. I realise there's a lot of sentiment around the idea of former players or lifelong fans managing the club, but where we are now in the league, we need someone who knows what it takes to win, irrespective of their background. I'm not convinced that Yogi's that guy.

[JohnM1875]

I haven't heard of an ICT fan who isn't glad to see the back of him. That speaks volumes to me.

You know many ICT fans like? If you do, fair play.

Fans are a fickle bunch though. I just think we could honestly do worse than Yogi. Who, I think, has improved. (I also think we could do better by the way. I just think judging him on his previous Hibs stint is a bit harsh)

I know a few ST holders and there were quite a few calling into Sportsound towards the end of the season. All had the same negative views of him. The guys I spoke to in person were coming out with the same stuff we'd said at the end of his time here with regard to style of play. Thinking about it, it looks like wee Russell maybe played a bigger role in the good times Yogi had at ICT than he's been given credit for.

How about Jovan Kirovski (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovan_Kirovski). Played under Steve Bruce at Birmingham City, Champions League medal, German league experience, assistant coaching experience at the LA Galaxy and now Technical Director, classy guy and would be a welcome breath of fresh air to the SPL after promotion. Maybe he would take a drop to the Scottish Championship as a first step towards managing Manchester United where he played as a youth.

No matter how you cut it, Stubbs failed to get us out of this league.

Whose to say that Falkirk might not have won on penalties if it had come to that or beta us some other way?

With the resources at his disposal this season and the total disarray Rangers were in last season, the very minimum expectation for him in both seasons would have been a crack at the SPL team.

He failed on both counts.

He deserves credit for the cup win and for putting us back at least partly on track from the shambles he inherited, but he's not the messiah.

IMO he was not convinced he could get us out this league next year and moved on now when his stock was at its highest as if he failed again next year he would have been damaged goods.

I don't blame him for doing it.

He will always be a hero for winning the cup, but the jury was still very much out on his league "achievements".

Don't buy that argument to be honest as in my experience bookies don't price things up on "paper talk".

Generally only 2 things make them move prices:

1. Weight of money increasing their liability
2. They know something

Doesn't mean NL is a cert for Hibs Manager and I wouldn't be rushing out to have my mortgage on it as I think there are too many hurdles to overcome, like his wage and his expectations with regards to transfer funds, wage structure etc.

Petrie cut Yogi's legs off and he did the same to Collins. He sold stokes to Celtic a week before the season started, Yogi had no chance after that. Yogi will be the first to admit he made mistakes, he's older now and hopefully a bit more wiser.

Traders actually create lots of the stories in the press in order to create a false book. On novelty markets like this prices are almost always falsely created rather than market driven. Skybet for example will be lucky to have more than 10k placed on the whole event.

Who is he assistant to?

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Roberto Di Matteo

[CapitalGreen]

John Hughes for me. Won promotion with Falkirk.Vastly experienced, fantastic coach and knows the Scottish game inside out. Has unfinished business with Hibs. Hopefully the board can show a bit of vision for the good of the club...

The players disliked him last time and his win % was below Fenlon and Williamson. No thanks.

[Joe Baker2]

C'mon Hibs. Aim high on the manager list!

[Nutmegged]

Ladbrokes have suspended betting on Lennon getting the gig

[Lago]

No matter how you cut it, Stubbs failed to get us out of this league.

Whose to say that Falkirk might not have won on penalties if it had come to that or beta us some other way?

With the resources at his disposal this season and the total disarray Rangers were in last season, the very minimum expectation for him in both seasons would have been a crack at the SPL team.

He failed on both counts.

He deserves credit for the cup win and for putting us back at least partly on track from the shambles he inherited, but he's not the messiah.

IMO he was not convinced he could get us out this league next year and moved on now when his stock was at its highest as if he failed again next year he would have been damaged goods.

I don't blame him for doing it.

He will always be a hero for winning the cup, but the jury was still very much out on his league "achievements".
Excellent post, my thoughts exactly almost word for word. I think we can get better than Stubbs this time round. Personally I would havebeen far more concerned if Hibs had announced LD was leaving.

[jacomo]

the worry is so has Van Gaal ! :wink:

Can you imagine it?

'McGinn is shooper, I agree, but my philosophy is more shooper. I just don't think you understand?'

looks like we can cross 1 name off the list

BLACKBURN Rovers are expected to confirm the appointment of their new manager today. It is understood to be Owen Coyle.
Coyle left his job as boss of Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo last week.
The 49-year-old had previously managed Rovers’ rivals Burnley, who he led to promotion to the Premier League, Bolton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic.

Is Owen Coyle's career plan to tick all the smaller town North West England clubs off the list?

[greenpaper55]

Coyle confirmed on the beeb at Blackburn, would have preferred him to some being mentioned on here.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Yeah, but if Stubbs thinks Rotherham is a step up from us, then Blackburn is a million miles above us. Former premier league champions and paid £8m for Jordan Rhodes just 4 years ago.

I used reckon Mcleish was trying do the same in the Midlands.

[coldingham hibs]

Let's face it the next manager isn't going to be a 'big' name, it is more likely to be another Stubbs situation or a guy that's been knocking around the Scottish scene. Who wants to manage a team playing against the likes of Ayr Utd & Dumbarton every other week. Even Stubbs couldn't face another season of that.

[lucky]

Lennon or Evans are about as big as it gets for us. We are a Scottish championship club with big expectations. I don't think Hibs are an easy gig.

Will be pressurised cos only promotion will do this coming season

Big - he is beyond massive!!

[LancashireHibby]

Having had a couple of years of Lennon at Bolton, I'm really not enthused by the prospect. The Heskey thing was funny at the time until he started to actually pick him ahead of other players, never mind having Stephen Dobbie as super sub last season. Team line ups selected from a bingo machine, no plan B (or even a plan A most of the time), signings that leave as quickly as they arrive or simply go missing, and that's before we got on to his boozing and womanising on his own doorstep.

Bewildered of Lancashire.

[DunblaneHibby]

Im going to go against the trend here as I don't think leanne will give neil lennon the job. I think she wants to continue what alan stubbs started and the only candidate that has been mentioned that fits that bill is scott gemmill

[Ryan69]

betting suspended on Lennon.

[allezsauzee]

Lennon is used to the pressure of having to win every week at Celtic, might be useful in our pursuit of the Championship title next season

[1875STEVE]

"Talks" meaning she commiserated him on us just beating them aye?

Not anymore! Lost a load of weight in the past year and is now somewhere between huge and massive.

Lennon would kick ass, that's for sure. IMO he would definitely get us promoted. As a side issue, I noticed Koeman is 2/5 for the Everton job, but he's also favourite for the Arsenal job too, has Wenger chucked it?

Wenger won't be going anywhere. Koeman is apparently in Liverpool for talks with Everton today.

I don't understand leaving Southampton for Everton. Seems like such a sidestep.

Have Everton not just been taken over sure there is some billionaire owner waiting to pile money in

The money flying about down there is crazy

Everton are a bigger club than Southampton and with more money, they can be turned into a successful club. Southampton have done really well but Everton have great potential

Agree with this, dont think Hibs have shown an interest to even speak to him yet if at all.

[Vault Boy]

Big difference is Leeann Dempster didn't appoint TB.

You know your clubs!!

It is like comparing ST Johnstone and Hibs!!!!lol

[hibees 7062]

Hibernian are considering a shock move for Scotland Under-17 boss Scot Gemmill as their new manager, while former Celtic manager Neil Lennon is also keen on the job. (Daily Express

[mcfly]

oh dear, a bit of perspective please van gaal also out of work

No such a daft comment now though eh

No apologies required 😂😂

#GiggsToHibs is trending! Haha haha 😂

He's gone odds on for the Bolton job.

One of my mates says he's got inside info it's James Fowler, can't see it myself.

Better chance of Pauline Fowler

Rikki Fowler might get us oot a hole :cb

Or Michelle Fowler. :duck:

[Ricky Bobby]

I have not read the entire thread, but i hear there is a quote from Neil Warnock suggesting he might be interested. If he was serious, what are we waiting for?
Get it done.

[Silky]

Or Michelle Fowler. :duck:

Christ, better chance with Arthur Fowler!

[fat freddy]

He's on gardening leave down at the allotment

How about Csaba Laszlo?

Done a great job at Hearts and won manager of the year. Would definitely get out of this division with a guy of his experience!!

Appointing Scot Gemmill would be a colossal leap in the dark.
