Ian Holloway being considered!

[Tangergreen]

Can't quite see this happening myself but Ian Holloway is on the shortlist according to my source.

[Northernhibee]

Hmmmm, first post, incredulous claim. Hmmmmm.

[Michael]

That would be quality. He certainly knows how to get Championship clubs promoted!

[Onceinawhile]

I hope not.

He's a clown.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Go away yam

[blackpoolhibs]

Clowns often take Blackpool to the premiership. The clown they have that owns the club now is taking it to the Conference.

[Benny Brazil]

As firsts posts go - that's a belter!

[carnoustiehibee]

I thought about him at the start of the week. But doubt he'd come up because of his kids

[Stevie Reid]

Great character with a good managerial record.

[Smartie]

You can't really blame him for not wanting to bring his kids to a city that is shared with HMFC.

I heard that Leeann has suddenly become highly superstitious after her tea leaves on 21 May predicted a 3-2 win for us. She is keen to interview Louise van Gaal, as he has the same initials as Leigh Griffiths. It's superstition gone mad, but in Leeann we trust. :aok:

[Enough said]

Go away yam why does everyone have to be a yam when they get a bit info??

[The Green Goblin]

Holloway..... Credible? What's your thoughts on it?

i think at least taking a first post like that with a pinch of salt is understandable.

[JimBHibees]

He will be making millions doing the sky pundit thing, no chance IMO

[allezsauzee]

you mean as fall back if Lennon doesn't agree terms?

[LustForLeith]

Ever since seeing Bravehart Holloway loves the Scots. Always tries to sign a few for his teams.

Warnock fact yesterday, Holloway one today.

[hibsboy90]

I actually know Tangergreen personally - knowing who he is, and who his source is, I don't think it's fair to be completely dismissing it out of hand. IH has had teams promoted and playing decent football en route - therefore not so ridiculous.

He should however have listened to my advice not to post on here due to the welcoming responses he'd receive from fellow hibbys.

While I would say this does seem a little far fetched, I think our cup final and all the circus after has raised our profile down south.
The cup final was compelling veiwing, as noted by many a famous face on twitter ect.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

No thanks!

You should have advised him that using the phrase 'according to my source' in your first post is asking for trouble.

[Rossco442]

I don't see why someone's first post should mean they are talking sh*te.

I think Holloway is a goer, he has family in Edinburgh too.

Come off it.

Anyone who lurks for six years and then makes an opening post like that is asking not to be believed.

It seems a very implausible idea given Holloway's personal circumstances and his media work. That is before you consider his limited (zero?) knowledge of Scottish Football particularly at the second tier.

[Smartie]

I think all this Lennon/ Holloway/ Warnock talk is fanciful nonsense.

We're about to be starting our third consecutive season in the second tier of a league which is very low-profile.

Whipping ourselves into a frenzy about names like this is likely to leave us very disappointed when a much lower profile but perfectly suited candidate (who might even actually have a knowledge of the league we're about to attempt to win) is appointed.

[J-C]

Only thing about Holloway would be his press interviews would be entertaining.

It's completely fair to dismiss it out of hand when he's got no track record, no post history, and just says "my source".

If I started a thread saying that "according to my source" Taylor Swift was going to be the next Hibs manager, would that deserve to be taken seriously?

Obviously not... because that is an utterly mental comparison.

Its not tbh.

[Craig_HFC]

Its not tbh.

My point was that at least Ian Holloway is a football manager. Taylor Swift isn't, as far as I'm aware.

Not that I'm saying I think Holloway will get the job or even be considered.

Taylor Swift is getting over the heartache of splitting up with Calvin Harris by taking her coaching badges. She is at the UEFA B Course at Largs this weekend.

[LancsHibs]

'Tangergreen' sounds like a Blackpool fan??🤔

Thought she would have been able to shake it off easier than that.

[SlatefordHibby]

A source now tells me that Neil Harris and Graham Taylor have both been interviewed and are on the shortlist.

No idea how he got that info.

[Tangergreen]

My 'source' works for Sky and she works fairly close with the 'experts/panellists'.


For the record, I don't post on this, I observe.
Also, I have never actually received any juicy info before. I don't go looking for it, it just so happened to be mentioned to me in passing.
I was quite excited to have 'news' for a change. Thought I would share.

[LancsHibs]

Harris I think is currently in a job as Milwall manager is he not?? As for Graham Taylor he's long since retired. Is this a wind up and I've been reeled in? 🎣

[Waxy]

Dunno about being our manager but id like to see Taylor Swift work somewhere at ER. Physio? Canteen? Or selling Happy Hibby ht draw tickets under the east.

Taylor Swift would be nothing but trouble trouble.

Yup. Resounding no from me.

I wouldn't have thought Holloway would be interested, for the money Hibs are likely to offer.
But you never know.

Cheers for sharing. Just because you have only a couple of posts doesn't mean that info should be discounted. :aok:

I remember a numpty last summer who called anyone on here thick for thinking Scott Allan wanted to leave Hibs just because he said in the press he was happy here and said there was no chance of him leaving Easter Road at that time. He had plenty of posts, and as we all know he was talking complete single fish. :rolleyes:

Strange that Sky Sports are not 'sharing' this information.

They reported that John Hughes, Steve Evans and Stuart McCall have been 'mentioned' in connection with the vacancy.

So you get a scoop but don't report and let their staff tell all and sundry.

It's implausible for me because Holloway has a history of wanting to stay close to his family. He commuted to QPR in West London from Bristol for three years because his children attended a school there. He later took the job at Crystal Palace so that he could move closer to his children who by then lived in the London area.

[CmoantheHibs]

No idea who taylor swift is but its got to be a good thing has it not.we have all been crying out for pace.

Joking

[Northernhibee]

She's got a knee injury but she's hoping to shake it off for the new season.

[lapsedhibee]

If Swift was serious about the Hibs job she'd have put out a cover of SoL long before now, so I think she's another one just making it known that she's available for managerial work.

[Beefster]

I can exclusively reveal to my Hibs.net fans that my informer close to senior figures within the club says too many folk like to pretend that they're tabloid journalists or Gerry McNee. Read my breaking posts on Hibs.net to get the latest news.

Writing in the 3rd person also helps. 'Sources close to Beefster understand that Whoopi Goldberg has had preliminary discussions with Ms Dempster...she apparently heard we play in the colour purple...'

[hibs69]

I always go put the Doc Martin boxset on after listening to Holloway.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Exclusive! Taylor Swift splits up with Colin Hariss' son prior to securing her dream job. Seemingly she has always had time for Leanne!

To be fair, if you listen to his analysis on Sky he's very knowledgeable. Knows the game and knows players.

Doubt it's a serious prospect but I'd take him in a flash. As pointed out before, he took Blackpool to the EPL.

Also a players manager. That's what we need. IMO

Got to be honest, I miss the entire content of what he's saying because I think he's always a few sentences away from talking about Cornish Pasties.

[Holmesdale Hibs]

He took Palace to the premiership as well. Unfortunately he made too many mediocre signings in the summer transfer window (15 if I remember correctly) and the team took a few spankings and were dead-certs for relegation until Pulis took over in January. After leaving he gave a pretty fair assessment of his own downfall.

Overall he did a good job and left on good terms with most supporters. I'd like to see him at Hibs, and think he'd get us promoted, play decent football and give is a few good laughs along the way, probably all with a dodgy defence.
