New manager thread

[snedzuk]

Just been talking to a former Falkirk goalkeeper who was informed by one other his mates who is well connected at Easter Road that part of the dramas that took place apparently Lennon punched Rod Petrie and knocked him out.
Now I know that it sounds bit ludicrous, however source doesn't usually spread gossip/stories without there being substance to them.

Heard that nikki alexander recovered tache hairs from Lennon's knuckles.

Strachan must at least be considering it or he would just have ruled himself out no?

There’s only so so much going around the world talking about your ideas you can do. Come to a club and put these ideas into action instead.

Sounds to me like he would like another go at it before giving it all up.

I think he’s probably our no1 target.

It looks to me from the quotes that Strachan would speak to Hibs about the job, and would be keen on it if he could mix it with whatever role he is currently doing developing young players.

Not for me but I agree he is likely to be Hibs top candidate.

I see that McBookie are no longer listing Next Hibs Manager after having the market listed yesterday. I wonder if a certain rumour going around has led to folk backing someone...

I might be looking too much into it or I might be struggling to naviagte their new website that I’m struggling to navigate.

Now that NEil and Gary have officially left the club I wanted to express my concern regards some sections of our support who are happy to see them go. Whatever you say or think of NEil he is a Winner and will not accept second best and may I add player performance too. My own belief here is Lennon has asked the board to back him with a view to seeing us continually progress and for their own reasons they have decided against moving forward. Yes NEil is a fiery caracter and 100% winner and it is my belief he wanted to do this with Hibs. Anyway as for the New Manager I can't for the life of me think why some of us would want Alan Stubbs back, yes we will always look on him as a hero as the Man who led us to Scottish cup glory but he left at the first opportunity back to England.
i for one have always thought we should try to get Gordon Strachan in and believe it or not Steve Clarke before he was employed by Kellie. If Not Strachan I would try and find a Man who likes to play attacking football the way we like to see Hibs play. Whoever takes over needs 100% support from the fans as I feel we will struggle to the end of this season.

A winning mentality that failed every time we went across the city & left us 8th in the league behind clubs with less resources?

Poor signings integral to this and thats NLs issue.

In the cold light of the Day no we don't but I smell a Rat. Lenny wasn't my favourite person in fact I didn't really care for him before he came to Hibs but we should all be careful what we wish for. Hibs were once again being talked about as an entertaining team who were difficult to beat and good to watch. He installed a winning mentality especially against The old firm. Yes we still struggled against our neighbours but I think our standards match them when we play. It's always harder to raise your game against trash. Get Strachan appointment announced and let's get back on track.

Nothing in Grayson's CV to excite or suggest he should be the man to take Hibs forward. Whilst Strachan and Stubbs/Doolan have their cons, they are outweighed by the pros. Fair chance though that we might get a left-field googly appointment that no-one has seen coming.

Get a young uncluttered ambitious manager in.

Sod Strachan anyway. That would be a total disaster.

If Neil doesn’t accept second best then you could argue he made a mistake in becoming our Head Coach. Apart from winning the championship, the reality of the SPL is we were never going to be top 2, maybe 3rd but even that is a big ask.

After the championship, the inevitable happened, Neil was not the right fit for us.

Not so much this season though, eh?

Whatever you think of Lennon (and I liked him a lot) you surely have to acknowledge that things did not seem right this season.

Don’t blame this on a lack of backing from the Board - Neil said himself many times that the Board had backed him well.

The winner thing is a load of nonsense. He was outwardly passionate and for some reason that meant to some that he cared more about winning than others. That’s not even a dig at NL btw, it’s just become an overused cliche with no real basis to it.

Not accepting second best is different to having the skills to avoid it though.

Lennon may be a 'born winner' (whatever the heck that means) but his managerial career now demonstrates an inability to deal with tough situations when things are going against him.

[Smartie]

Grayson did a great job at Preston before joining the basket case Sunderland.

I don't think Strachan would be interested. He lives down South, near his grandkids and is loving life. One of his biggest regrets is that he didn't get to see enough of his own kids growing up due to his football career, and I think he's making up for that with his grandkids.

He's also loving his job at the moment.

Would he give all of that up to come to us? I don't think he would, and I think a wee bit of the warrior that he had about him before is gone.

I had an interesting conversation with someone who has close links to people at Hibs last night. There are a fair few people at Hibs who are relieved to see Neil Lennon gone. A lot of the people at the club still have faith in the board, faith in LD and faith in the structure there. All it needs is for the next man to be the correct fit and we can start to kick on again. Behind the scenes I think there have been reservations about how a number of things were being handled by our management team and when it all came to a head (inevitably) it has given both parties an opportunity to go in "Relatively damage free" different directions.

So for the rest of the season, with no Boyle or Porteous:

GK: Marciano, Bogdan

RB: Gray, Whittaker
CB: Hanlon, Darnell
CB: McGregor, Milligan
LB: Stevenson, Mackie, Nelom

CM: Slivka, Horgan
CM: Omeonga, Bartley
CM: Gauld, Bigi

AM: Mallan, Agyepong

ST: Kamberi, Shaw
ST: McNulty, L. Allan

[Greenworld]

Managers are so difficult to pick especially with LD going for out of the box signings. Not sure the bookies odds will have much bearing on who is appointed.

Stubbs would have to be with Doolan

Strachan would be interesting but not with mcgee

Tommy Wright has done a great job but doesn't quite excite me

I'm kind of hoping for another outside the box manager none on the bookies list

I'd seen a paper (think EEN) speculate as to whether we'd consider Alan Archibald, it's an interesting question.

Few years ago he was in the Steve Clarke position with people saying he was destined for greater things than another Scottish club should he leave Thistle, bad run of form and Thistle are relegated, slow start to the next season and he's gone with no word on him since.

Mixed bag of results but you could argue he did well to get the results he did with Thistle's resources, I seem to remember they played good football too.

I'm not saying he's my pick, just wondering what other people's thoughts are?

That’s now looking like a better balanced squad to me. Reasons to be hopeful.

Warburton was often slated by the huns for not having a plan B. Pretty sure he came out with "If plan A isn't working then plan B is to do plan A better".

Last thing we need is another stubborn manager stuck in his ways who fails to adapt.

I’m a reasonable person but if we appoint Magic Hat I swear I’ll do time.

[bingo70]

Is Warburton not pretty much the exact opposite of what we are looking for?

I think we are looking for a head coach, Warburton is more likely to find himself in a director of football position.

What do people think about the idea of Coleman and Doolan taking the reins at Hibs?

I guess it might depend on how much compensation Accrington Stanley would want, but they've been relatively successful so far.

Doolan on his own us a nice, romantic idea, and the support would engage immediately, but has he got what it takes to be number one at Hibs?

Possibly, I suppose. :dunno:

And now look at how we are talking about the team, dying to play with a diamond because we had a manager that changed everything constantly even playing players out of position despite having other players that play those positions on the bench. It was like when Collins played McCann at centre half.

We're dying to play a diamond because we have the players to play it in their correct positions instead of shoehorned into a system or shape that doesn't suit, plus with Boyle and Agyepong missing we have no width. Stubbs played the diamond very well and the midfield of McGinn, Fyvie, Allan ( while he was here ), McGeouch and Henderson were very good at it but Stubbs was stubborn and didn't change things to beat the 10 men defences we came up against. Very good against open teams like in the cups but not against the lesser teams, Ross Co, knew exactly how to play us, crammed the midfield and hit us on the break.

Mostly diamond but we did play 3-5-2 now and again, indeed we started 3-5-2 in the cup final in 2016 before changing to the diamond when Henderson came on.

[SHODAN]

When do we think we'll appoint someone? Based on the most recent managers to depart midway through the season, the gap is as follows:

Mowbray to Collins: 18 days
Collins to Mixu: 21 days
Hughes to Calderwood: 14 days
Calderwood to Fenlon: 21 days
Fenlon to Butcher: 11 days

Now Lennon officially left two days ago, but he was effectively out a week ago. Therefore, I reckon we'll either get the new guy in next week or the week after.

I think it will be sooner rather than later as the board will be aware that the support is split over the "mutual agreementing" of Neil Lennon. Also Eddie May had made it clear that he's filling in very reluctantly. The quicker we turn the page the better.

Strachan still fav and shortened slightly to 9/4
Stubbs at 3/1 and Doolan 4/1 are solid.
Gemmill into 12/1 from 16/1 (see above)

Have we ever "re-appointed" a manager/ head coach?

Dan McMichael.

[Wheat Hound]

Need the new man appointed asap as the season is dying and we only really have the cup left to produce any real excitement/interest.

Have a feeling they will be announced Friday, after Celtic away.

[RossScott1991]

I’m now in the fully Stubbs in camp after today. Place needs a lift and average players like Mallan Slivka etc may actually get a few tips on how to pass a ball.

Stubbsy til the end of the season please hibs.

[big gogs]

That says nobody has a clue to me...
Somebody at the game today tried to convince me it would be Chris Coleman as manager,it did not work.

[matty_f]

Stubbs would do for me. Get him in quick and give the team a lift and some direction.

It's badly needed at the moment.

[One Day Soon]

Mixu worth a £1 surely....

That list scares the **** out of me. It's a mixture of the unimaginable and the unacceptable.

[Lemonade]

Stubbs should stay well clear.
If he didn’t turn the form around sharpish , the fans would turn on him souring his legendary status.

[04Sauzee]

Glad Eddie May doesn't want it

Would give the whole club and support a massive feelgood bounce and he would be settled in far quicker than any other candidate. The notion that we might take two weeks to appoint from here fills me with horror.

Haha, no chance! We couldn't afford his gardener!

We need a manager in this week.

We must win in the cup next week to keep our season alive.

The thought of 2 week wait for a new manager is grim

[WhileTheChief..]

I don’t think Stubbs has got a hope in hell of getting the job.

I'd rather we wait and got it right. Stubbs and Lennon were both successful in different ways. I want that trend to continue. It'll probably not happen but I'd love a foreign head coach who can teach our midfielders to calm down when under pressure!

I'd really like us to get to the stage where we can impose our style onto a game. We keep talking about being a passing team but we aren't...

Noticed John Collins was at the game today. I’m assuming he’s not a regular at Easter Road so obviously I’m going to assume it was related to the managers position.

I’m also going to assume he’s got no chance of getting the job himself so wonder if we were speaking to him about another potential candidate.

Any names he may have worked with that could be of interest? Ronny Delia? Anybody else?

Whats folks thoughts on JC as the next Hibs manager?

[500miles]

Has he got his ego under control yet?

[PatHead]

No thanks.

I wouldn’t be against the idea.

I think In the right structure he could be good.

Suspect I’ll be in the minority there though.

Can't see the board wanting another know it all entitled egotist so quickly after Lennon

He’s done absolutely nothing as the main man since he left us. Did he not fall out with RP also? I think we need a good man manager in now. I don’t think that is a trait JC posseses.

I would back any manager who came into our club. I’m just dubious that our next manager may get us back into Europe and have a rough start to next season leaving us calling for his sacking
