Who would you want as the next manager/head coach at Hibs

[Hibbyradge]

Gordon Strachan

[Hibeesmad]

Would like Steve Clarke but can’t see it happening

[Hibbyradge]

[superfurryhibby]

Strachan or Owen Coyle.

Ian Cathro? Really?

Naw, but really?

Thats in the other option!

[Hibbyradge]

Marinello59.

Player manager, obviously, now that he's partnering Kamberi up front.

[wookie70]

It's a big footballing world so could be anyone. What I do want is to get on plan again. Professional staff, 3 players for each role, a style of play, development team playing to emulate senior team etc. Dempster vision had longevity and it was working. It looks a bit in shreds at the moment. The club needs an us and we manager not a me and I one.

[brianmc]

Michael O'Neill 🤔

I would hope that Ms. Dempster has a shortlist made up and regularily updated to hand for this eventuality.

The Steve Clarke option being on here completely invalidates this poll. Quote this and mock me mercilessly if it happened, but it simply won't. It is delusions of grandeur stuff to think we could tempt him away from Killie for even a second.

[BullsCloseHibs]

[Pretty Boy]

Stevie Clarke is the obvious one but I'm not sure he's achievable currently.

If not then Stubbs until the end of the season then have another look then. We have pulled a few from nowhere before; Stubbs, Mowbray, Fenlon etc so maybe that's worth considering.

[HibsNibs]

Voted Clarke but can't see it happening so maybe bring Yogi back until end of the season

Hibs are obviously way bigger than Kilmarnock, as a club. However, he's onto a good thing there right now. Hibs could easily afford higher salary than he's currently on.

I agree we're a bigger club but there may be other considerations. Did Clarke not distance himself from Rangers in the summer?

Strachan. I think it's time to see if the wee Hibby fae Muirhoose can do it for us.

[Fife-Hibee]

[Vini1875]

Take the green tinted specs off for a minute.

We could not offer Clarke enough to go from Killie to Hibs. The reason he went to Killie in the first place was family and opportunity over money, plus the chance to build something while not being under massive pressure. Steve Clarke will go back to a job in England.

Strachan is also incredibly unlikely given the budget he would get. Many of the names being tossed around are just daft or we could not afford. Getting Neil Lennon was a lot to do with Lenny looking to rebuild a reputation.

We are looking for young and hungry or someone looking to rebuild a reputation, who doesn't have millions already in the bank.

Agree re Clarke but Strachan I think is different.

He's from Edinburgh and still lives here I believe , he is/was a Hibs supporter and he's at the stage of his career where he probably feels his days of managing at big clubs is over and I get the feeling his is quite content with that. I don't think he will be short of money and even still he'd be earning a very good salary compared to the man on the street as Hibs manager.

I actually think it's just as likely Dempster won't look to him as much as he would turn us down.

[emerald green]

Maybe it's time to try a coach from abroad? Who knows if any coaching appointment will prove to be successful. Most coaches/managers end up getting the sack anyway eventually.

Is she box to box

[SideBurns]

Strachan was in the TV studio at Hampden on 21/5/16. It was clear he didnae give a fiddler's fart about the pitch invasion, he was just delighted at the result. He has also been very complimentary about how the club entertained his auld man when he was getting close to the end. He's a Hibby who has been one of the best Scotland internationals of the modern era (post 1980); that much is beyond debate. He's got a sketchy managerial record but has certainly succeeded at a very high level.

I think we should ask the question.

[Hibees1973]

No chance Clarke will come to us. If he continues the way he has so far he will get a much bigger job than a Hibs soon.

No harm in asking but can’t see it.

Dempster has done well with her last 2 appointments so hope she comes up trumps again.

No other manager in Scotland comes to mind so likely to be someone down south.

[Leith Green]

Strachan would jump at the chance of managing Hibs

And whatever kudos Lennon had, Strachan's international profile must be higher. I think he might have won the best player award in the '82 WC group stages in Spain? And yet, 10 years later, was still good enough to captain Leeds when they became English Champions. Character, self belief, ability.

There are no guarantees, but I'd like to see the wee man given a chance (assuming he would like the job, of course).

I opted for Steve Clark although I can't see that happening in a month of Sundays.

Of the other options - they are all decent - but Tommy Wright seems a standout - consistent overperformer with St Johnstone on a much lesser budget and would probably jump at the chance to take the step up and manage Hibs.

[HibbySpurs]

Hasn’t Strachan always said he wants a shot at managing Hibs before he retires completely?

Now would seem the most likely and probably last chance he would get to realise that ambition.

For that reason I think there a good chance that’s who it will be, provided of course he is who Hibs want?

Don’t think his salary will be the problem as I doubtcash would be his major driver when considering the opportunity.

The most likely stumbling block is his ambitions matching up with what the club can provide in terms of budget to him.

I’d love it if Gordon won us a trophy in his swan song post.

[Malthibby]

As long as he's forgotten about Joe Ts tackle, otherwise he'd be too scared to go near the pitch again.

After we beat them at ER (Rankin? Some other one? **** knows) he was interviewed on Sportsound and remarked that it’s where he’ll probably watch his football when he’s retired. Think that was his ambition of the moment.

Scott Gemmill
Jody Morris
Strachan

Tommy Wright
Gary Holt

Quite confident it will be another young coach who we have probably not heard of.

Most important thing is that we get them in ASAP so that we have time to sign players in this window which is very unlikely.

Leaves is in a bit of a mess as we’re still about 3/4 players short imo.

Presume this means MacLaren is now staying too.

In normal times yes granted as the Killie manager wouldn't normally have as much interest in him. Clarke is a Killie phenomenon and they should cherish the time he's there. It would be a major coup to tempt him here but who knows.

Gary Holt's done a fine job at Livingston and one to note.

Dominated scottish football even with rangers spending big. Lennon couldn't even beat ross county at hampden with a squad on astronomical money. He was too loyal to certain players as scotland manager but at club level lennon couldnt lace his boots.

From a permanent perspective, I’d rather the necessary time is taken in order to get the right man.

Personally I’d like to see Stubbs back. If not, I’d like it to be someone similar to Stubbs i.e not a name I would think of but ends up being my favourite manager giving me the best day out of my life:)

I don’t get the whole ‘club needs gutted from the core’ thing at all. This manager’s time has come to an end for whatever reasons and it’s time to replace him. Nothing more. Since relegation and the new regime, managerial appointments have gone well and I’ve no reason to doubt that’ll continue.

Bring it on.

[Waxy]

Clarke probably wont leave Kfc. He might not be a good fit for us anyway.
For me its either Gordon Strachan or Stubbsy.

[CMurdoch]

Clarke is just waiting for Brenda to leave and he will be moved seamlessly into Parkhead.
He distanced himself from the Rangers job in the summer because they are still a shambolic financial mess.

Strachan is the right guy at the right time. Managing Hibs would be the cherry to top off his career in football.
Great man manager, good patter. Scott Brown might even join his old pal in the summer for his own last hurrah.
There is lots of talent at Easter Road for him to work with and Scott Allan is already teed up for the summer.
A few wee tweaks and we would be up and moving forwards again.
His time with the Scotland national is the only one were all the players were happy and wanted to play for the team and that was entirely down to him.
Would be the perfect antidote to Lennon's anger and aggression.

P.S. he is only 61 so plenty of energy still in the tank.

He has attended several of them, plus he's still an active pundit on Irish Television as well.

Personally, I don't have a problem with it if it allows us to attract big name Players, Managers, Coaches that we might not be able to do otherwise. Long as it doesn't interfere with the running of the club.

Back on subject - Strachan is the obvious choice given his affections for the club but if we have parted ways with Lennon under a cloud he might not fancy the job out of solidarity with Lennon ...... I'd go the Stubbs/Mowbray route and look down south for a Reserve Manager/Coach.

I don't get the Wright thing.
He's doing a decent job with players we rejected on a much lower budget.

That's a whole different ball game to managing at Hibs with the expectations - justified or not - of our support.

I want a manager who's going to have us in the mix challenging Celtic.
I think Wright would. at best, have us solid top 6.

It's a tough call for who to bring in.

They need to balance adding steel/winner's mentality with playing good football and they're going to have to do the first part of it with a pool of players who, while good individually, don't obviously fit together as a team. That alone suggests we may go for a temporary appointment until summer to avoid the new manager starting on a hiding to nothing.

[Unseen work]

Strachan would be an exciting one imo.

He would demand and get instant respect from all the players and expect a certain standard.

The big name he is, and players he has worked with in the past would only help us in attracting new players to the club

Would Brown consider returning if he got the job?

Only thing with Strachan that may annoy our fans is I don’t think he cares about style of football, purely as long as we get results.

Former Newcastle United star Lee Clark is on Hibernian's shortlist to replace Neil Lennon as boss at Easter Road.

The Chronicle understands that Clark would be interested in a return to the Scottish Premiership after a successful stint with Kilmarnock between 2016 and 2017.


Back then Clark steadied the ship at Rugby Park guiding the club to top-flight safety and losing just 16 of his 42 matches in charge.

Clark isn't the only one in contention to take over from Lennon, with Scotland Under-21 coach Scot Gemmil and ex-Hibs chief Alan Stubbs also in the frame.

Well played [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

[Alex Trager]

Clarke probably wont leave Kfc. He might not be a good fit for us anyway.
For me its either Gordon Strachan or Stubbsy.
Whoever wants it the most should get it.

Clarke may leave if McDonalds come in for him

[Baker9]

Strachan. I think it's time to see if the wee Hibby fae Muirhoose can do it for us.

Yes please!

[calumhibee1]

Would like to see wee Gordon with Darren Fletcher as assistant with a view to taking over in medium term

Has Fletcher done his badges? Always comes across as knowledgeable on the tv. Would be an interesting pair.

[Iggy Pope]

Had to laugh at this. Iggy is most certainly not an "Aggressive Dolt".:wink::wink::flag:

I took Colin Nish as slang for something entirely aggressive :greengrin
Maybe I was mistaken, me being a dolt this perishing day in Paisley..

[Betty Boop]

Clarke knocked back Rangers so can't see him opting to come to us. Think he has his eyes on another shot down south.

So it's Strachan for me.

EZ
Rangers never approached Clarke he said as much himself.

[cabbageandribs1875]

If they're Hibs men/fans the there's no need to Increase any money. They'd do it for the love of the club.

Not that they'll be coming to Hibs ...

I was listening to a Scottish rugby podcast yesterday, and they said a Yougov poll recently found Terry Butcher is the most popular football manager amongst people who follow Scottish rugby.

[sambajustice]

James McFadden. I like him.

[Scouse Hibee]

Why not add Alan Preston to the poll seeing d*** head Cathro is there ?

In there for a reason and it may well have flushed oot a couple of smelly manky jamboids,

No. He could never manage our players, they're not tall enough.

[Weegreenman]

I’d like to see Gary Holt given a chance. I heard him talking on the radio the other night and he comes across as a very professional likeable guy who likes to play attacking football.

Malky Mackay, Time he was pardoned imo.

Watched his pre match interview today and thought the same. Comes over really well

I would go for Tommy Wright

The obvious choice is Clarke but that won't happen

I think he would do a great job

Would aw the moon men stop selecting Steve Clarke in the poll.
Get real!
He is waiting on Brenda movin' on whilst enjoying himself at Killie and fair hoovering up the plaudits..
There is more chance of him moving down south than coming to Hibs
AND the tache wouldnae pay the necessary compensation to buy out his contract.

[Mibbes Aye]

I think people are thinking about this completely the wrong way.

The managers we have enjoyed the most in recent times share one attribute - they were uncompromising defenders at Celtc.

On that basis I think we will appoint Andreas Hinkel or maybe Stanislav Varga.

Scarily, there is an outside chance my theory holds water and we tweak it slightly by going for Peter Grant!

[Phil MaGlass]

Stubbs until end of season or Wim Jansen.

[SMAXXA]

Gordon Strachan for me is one id probably be happy with not saying he’s who I want but at this stage I don’t actually know

[bingo70]

He’s not the most exciting but the more I think of him the more it makes sense.

I suspect if he’s not interested he’ll make it known quite quickly though.

Good pals with Lennon and is settled living down south so may not fancy it.

[hibs#1]

Stubbs until end of season or Wim Jansen.

Jansen hasn't managed in 20 years doubt he'd change his mind for hibs.

Billy McNeill enjoyed a brief and eventful spell at us I recall.
So did another uncompromising stalwart in Bertie Auld.

[elevengoats]

Jose Mourinho is free.

[Greenbeard]

Whoever comes in must recognise that there have been plenty broken hearts over recent results and events and a fair bit of sorrow around our descent in the league. Once he sees that, he needs to claim our hearts, touch them and save them. There have been tears. His beauty (as a coach) and kindness needs to dry them and clear any recent blindness that Hibs are still a top team. We'll all thank him as the new chief if he makes the sun shine again on Leith.

[PatHead]

The question being asked is who do you want? Doesn't make me a moon man answering it.

Also, who thought Neil Lennon would get the job last time? You probably would have called me a moon man for wanting him.

[Leith's finest]

Jackie Mac jnr ? Ian Murray ? Rob Jones? A.Stubbs are all cheap options. Myself I would at least try for M.O'neil I think he stays in Edinburgh area

[Hibbyradge]

And that's before we start thinking about his salary.

[Keith_M]

He wouldn't switch to being Scotland Manager so very little chance of him moving to Hibs.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will no doubt apply

Was Grant not a nippy Celtic midfielder who was more grit than grace, not sure I could cope with another of those

Lennon had been sacked by Bolton and was available.

That's what I meant by tweaking the formula.

He was one of those players it was easy to dislike unless he played for your team in which case you would love him.

I doubt he is in contention and he seems to be happy working with McLeish but I'm sure some club will offer him a berth at some point.

[Hibbyradge]

I'm sure he will have the opportunity to apply. I hope LD makes he mind up based on both past record and also the fit for Hibs and her vision. If Lennon goes quick it might even give us the chance to get someone in who is out of a job and let them have the next 4 months to see what they can do with teh promise of a contract thereafter.

[Hamish]

I would reckon Stephen Robinson, Gary Holt and Scot Gemmill will be under consideration.

Won't happen but I would go for Kenny Miller.

[Speedway]

1. Clarke
2. Strachan

Lennon's ability to irritate the huns will be sadly missed.

Peter Grant is one of few men with a similar innate ability to do so just by being himself.

True and I bet he is loathed across the road as well. I imagine they call him Pheter Ghrant.

As I think about it, other than Mowbray and Stubbs, the other manager to bring us great joy in recent times was JC. It's clear to me that there is something lucky when we appoint a gaffer who played for our little cousins.

Marc Rieper, Carl Muggleton, Anton Rogan - I don't care - but it's clear what we need to succeed :agree:

[percy veer]

Billy Davies got a job yet

[SMAXXA]

I actually think it’s a brilliant time to be hiring a manager with the Scottish game at an unusual high point with the profile of the likes of gerrard and Brendan Rodgers. The competitiveness of the season with Clark at Kilmarnock doing great may also be a carrot for decent calibre managers wanting to kick start their careers up here. Previously I would say it would be seen as a graveyard for decent managers who wouldnt want to touch Scottish football.

[sambajustice]

If it's who do you want. The answer would be Klopp, Guardiola etc. Do you prefer Clarke to them?
Re Lennon, his stock was low after leaving Bolton by "mutual consent" with a 23% winning average. The club was a basket case but it damaged his standing as a manager.
The Hibs job suited both parties at the time. Lennon to repair his managerial reputation and Hibs to get promoted.
Here's hoping the club get the right person:wink:.

[Tornadoes70]

I just want a manager who sends players out to play to their optimum strengths. One who doesn't try to square circles. I don't like chefs who experiment with putting chocolate on bacon :greengrin neither do I like managers placing players into unsuitable positions.

I'd prefer an up and coming manager like Gary Holt but there's plenty of likely candidates out there and whoever the board hire I'll give them my support.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

[cabbageandribs1875]

will i change it to 'almost never' due to a couple of recent 'how on earth did that happen' blips against sevco ? they wont beat them the next game...after they've played us next sat

I agree with this. Fresh new ideas.

[Austinho]

Someone foreign with new ideas and new ways of thinking.

Time for a very new broom.Paul le Guen, Pedro Caixinha, Ronny Deila, Csaba Laszlo, Valdas Ivanauskas, Anatoly Korobochka, Paulo Sergio, Wim Jansen, Dick Advocaat, Ebbe Skovdahl, Ivan Golac, Frank Sauzee, Mixu Paatelainen, Josef Venglos, Ivano Bonetti, Antonio Calderon, Sergei Baltacha.

A mix of good, bad and disasterous. But mostly distinctly average. I’m sure the same sample size from Scottish managers would churn out a similar ratio mind you. Hearts won 2 Scottish Cups with foreign managers, and Dundee United did it too, however Golac also got them relegated. Obviously Jansen and Advocaat were roaring successes, but even the Old Firm have struggled with a few foreign appointments. And the less said about Berti Vogts the better.

If a foreign candidate stood out above everyone else, I’d love to see it, but Scottish Football can be a shock to many to begin with, and we aren’t exactly the forgiving type to give them long if they get off to a bad start.

We have been blessed in Scotland with having several of the greatest managers of all time. Probably nowhere on earth that churns out good managers per capita than us. However the talent pool seems to be greatly reduced at the top of the game these days.

[Diclonius]

Media reporting we want Strachan.

[GloryGlory]

Unfortunately, new brooms with new ideas need time to change things.

Scottish football doesn't allow a coach the luxury of time. Results, results, results are king.

Strachan until the end of the season for me. I don't think Clarke is realistic given his reputation.

[Callum_62]

Id be delighted with Strachan

Id want longer than 4 months out of it though

That would be a 'meh' from me.

[I'm Spartacus]

I'm a bit meh too - but maybe just the mature appointment we need, we've taken so many chances over the years and churned through so many managers. Maybe not a bad choice - say we did have the funds and ability to lure Steve C from Killie, all it takes is one great season again then a big shark comes along and says "I'll be having him thank you very much".

There has to be something in the news about this if it's true, journos will be asking each day.

[euro Hibby]

For any half decent manager its and easy pay check for 6 months. Expectations low, just do not get us relegated , do your best in the cup and prepare us for 2020...
but it also depends also if we are able to strengthen or not ! A good result will be top 6 . Personally however , I prefer a long term appointment but there are so many buts and if's with this one
and not being behind the scenes it is all guess work.

- do you take a manager with a name and some reputation - Gordon Strachan
- do you try a popular choice ex captain but not tested much Rob Jones
- do you want to piss the Hibs fans off - Ally Mcoist or David Weir or David moyes.
- do you got out of box with some foreign guy who knows nothing about the Scottish game.
- do you go for player manager - Kenny miller
- do you take a 6 month man Stubsy whose market vaule is currently low but well liked as a person.

or will Hibs surprise us ....



Like many I think clarke will hang on waiting for Brenda to move onto bigger things. So i discarded him.

[Spudster]

And the less said about Berti Vogts the better.


Last manager to get us to the playoffs with a worse squad than all those who have followed him? Granted we were in Pot B for those qualifiers which is a massive advantage.

I also have the rather irrational feeling that Wright would be another Terry Butcher for us.

[Blaster]

Certainly prefer Tommy Wright to Lee Clark

[southsider]

I would prefer Tommy Cooper to Lee Clark and he has been deed for years.

[Tornadoes70]

Tommy Wright has done a sterling job at St Johnstone. His experience of the Scottish game would stand him in good stead and would steady the ship so to speak. If he's hired I wouldn't be too disappointed.

There's certain to be any number of names bandied around so I'll take them all with a pinch of salt until reading the board have actually appointed someone.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

[The_Exile]

I want the club to start focusing on youth development and having most of our team made up of players under 25. I don't ever want to see us signing a 30+ year old huddy who offers the square root of **** all when we will have dozens of players under 21 who could come in and do a much better job. I want our manager to focus on building a club that will play young players and develop them in great detail like the academies of Ajax etc. It's not just about football, it's about academic promise and intelligence both on and off the pitch.

As it happens, Gordon Strachan is of the same mindset as me so I'd want him to be our next manager if the club would allow him the scope to work this way. However, I don't think the fans would allow this approach as we all want instant success and this way can take many years to achieve success.

Can't speak for the whole fanbase, but I would take three-to-five 7th place finishes in a row if it resulted in this becoming the new Hibs way. The money we'd make in transfer fees, the prestige our academy could gain, the exciting, youthful football. It's a no brainer for me.

[CockneyRebel]

David Hopkins

Scouse, I think you mean David Hopkin?
Played for Chelsea, Leeds, Bradford, Crystal Palace and Morton. Managed Livingston to 2 promotions and now manager at Bradford. Even Bradford probably pay more than us and now he's down South he would most likely be hoping for a bigger job down there next?

A few points -

First - it was only a couple of months ago, we were being reported as the best team in the UK for playing guys who'd come through the academy - http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/9408

Second - who would decide if the 30+ year old potential signing was a huddy, before we signed him though?

And finally, surely Gordon "Scotland are genetically behind" Strachan isn't the right person to develop our young players? He'd have East Mains kitted out with Racks, for stretching out all our wee genetically inferior players.
