New manager thread

Owen Coyle has been interviewed this afternoon. That is an actual fact.

He would be a good appointment. Experienced manager, well respected in our game and he seems to be a decent guy.

Not calling you a liar but I'd hope he wasn't . This can be bookmarked but I'd be very surprised if he gets the gig, and even more surprised should he get the gig and he's successful.

Did he not just resign from Ross County and bolt after about 4 months?

Thread diversion alert.

I like Si Ferry’s interviews. Players talk very candidly in them. Ferry isn’t exactly scintillating in his patter, but he does have his insight and he gets the job done.

Anyway, Coyle has a mixed record as a coach, but look at the basketcase state of some of the teams he’s taken on!

[Wheat Hound]

Coyle now 3rd favourite on skybet at 10/1. It's that easy!

[cabbageandribs1875]

i'm sure LD/whoever would have the manners to interview most applicants

[brianmc]

When you say interviewed..... Do you know what role it was for? I'm thinking maybe Tam McCourt has been mutually consented and it's maybe that role 'Coyley' is hoping for? 🤞

Think people need to be realistic here. We arent some sort of footballing giant. We are a relatively large club in Scotland , we arent going to be able to take a manager who is doing well at a club even at League one level in England. These guys will be on good money and will have eyes on stepping up to a bigger English club. Then if you look at Scotland as an example the likes of Clarke quite simplt arent going to be interested , lets be perfectly honest about that. With all of the above taken into consideration anybody we appoint is going to be a gamble and either a new manager looking at his first job or sombody with a mixed record , or sombody at quite a low level. There is nothing too inspiring available in scotland just now , so how can people fault the club for looking at the reported targets. Sometimes feels like we have got the most whingey moaning faced and unrealistic support at times.

It’s massive. If we go out then the mood will become toxic and a new manager will be fighting to finish at best 6th. The best case scenario is. Win, new manager in and bounce in performance which gives us a chance on both fronts. Injuries are killing us though.

Biggest game of the season tomorrow

Simple as

[madhatter]

Hoping whoever comes in plays attacking football with aggressive pressing eventually. Can't do it with current players but I'd like us to hunt in packs to get the ball back rather than the 1 man on his own stuff which we've seen for so long...

Mallan is probably one of the biggest culprits for not joining in with a press and leaving his man but he has many buddies on that front.

Tactically we must be better. Hope the new guy brings that. We've got fitness, strength and conditioning coaches etc. but we don't have tactical coach as far as I'm aware. New head coach needs to be good at setting a team out and organising.

[WhileTheChief..]

There’s only 132 professional clubs in the UK.

The Hibs job must be in the top 40 or 50 most attractive ones.

Basing it on nothing more than absolute guesswork it comes across like he is a bit old school and wouldn’t fit in to how we want to operate. He might’ve put a very strong case across in interview though.

He was also suspended by QPR following a massive fallout with one of his players.

Ur post got me thinking where we actually rank in Britain.

Any club in the top 2 leagues in England are more attractive straight away purely because of how much money they have and potential for further investment being so close to the premier league.

Throw in Sunderland in league 1 along with Portsmouth and Bradford who average attendance are on a par with us so people will se them being more attractive as they are in England where the cash is.

Celtic, Rangers definitely then probably Aberdeen as they spend more money than us. Hearts is debatable so I won’t say them.

So I make it around 50th, teams like Charlton, Coventry and Barnsley might appeal more aswell tho due to them being down south.

There are four managers fairly close in the betting then the rest are at about 20/1. Magilton, Appleton, Strachan and Heckingbottom.

why not? - outside the Top League & championship clubs in England - and even perhaps not them all - Top League football in Scotland has a lot of attractions - not least European football - Definitely Top 50..

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

[yerauldda]

I think it's testament to how Hibs operate that the bookies have no clue this time around about who is going to get the job. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we appointed someone who hasn't been the favourite yet.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Am I right in thinking Collins, Calderwood & Stubbs appointments came out of the blue last minute??

[SMAXXA]

Came to the realisation I don’t actually care who gets the Hibs job. I have no control over this and don’t see anyone I’d be desperate to get in and let’s be honest whoever it is will live or die by results. What I do feel is that I trust the powers at be to appoint who has shown as the best applicant throughout the process after that what will be will be and the new man will get my full support and be judged on what he does for Hibs not in his past. I see people writing off names left right and centre and most probably know little or nothing to make such ascertations. Lennon, McInnes has poor spells before they came back to Scotland, Tommy Wright was an assistant and Steve Clark hardly had a glittering Manager CV. Time will tell and we will go on the journey with the new man like it or not and the rest well who knows how it turns out.

[ScottB]

How many folk are likely to be betting on the new Hibs manager on any given day? 100? More? Less?

Few enough that some random guy sticking 20 quid on Magilton will be enough to send his odds down. The bookies likely don't have any more knowledge than we do, so if they want to adjust their odds themselves, they are probably casting an eye on here; who are we talking about? Cut the odds, somebody on here see's the odds cut, posts that he's the new favourite! Somebody sticks money on as a consequence...

Whilst i would put us safely in the top 40 in size of clubs in Britain theres a lot more to attracting a manager to the club than that. Managers doing well in the levels below that arent gonna be jumping into managing in the spl in a hurry when they are probably eyeing up jobs in the English championship. Its not just the club that the potential manager needs to consider. The key factors will be salary , playing budget , league/club exposure. Lets be honest we arent going to poach any manager who ho is doing well from league one or above in england. Im genuinely not being negative about things , thats just the reality im affraid

Jim Magilton seems to be almost unique in that he's made every team he's been at worse. He even failed in Australia. And headbutted one of his own players.

Jim Magilton seems to be almost unique in that he's made every team he's been at worse. He even failed in Australia. And headbutted one of his own players.

Id prefer Ian Cathro.

Sounds like Terry Butcher, although even he managed one good season at ICT.

[LancsHibs]

We would be a laughing stock if we appointed Magilton or Coyle as our next permanent manager. Who knows maybe either would do well but initial reactions would be very negative and would not showcase the club, quite the opposite.

Magilton would be a disaster. Season tickets would definitely plummet.

It would certainly be up there with not letting Calderwood depart for compensation after the bag of sweeties interview and keeping Butcher in charge so long.

Has many similar qualities to Lennon 😀

These processes generally do come down to 2/3 after starting with hundreds of applications don’t know what your expecting if there is outstanding names in the max in sure they will be in the running feels like another excuse to moan at the club before a man is even appointed

If you think my post saying the Hibs job is one of the best 40 or 50 in the land is having a go at the club so should probably stay off .net for a while, there’s far worse being posted regularly!!

It wasnt a dig at the club in the slightest.

[Heisenberg]

Someone must’ve been betting a decent bit on Magilton with Paddy Power. Down to 4/7. Heckingbottom/Appleton out to 9/1. News reports of it being down to those two look very premature.

I would guess folk in Ireland would be all over it if he’d got the job. Quick search on twitter shows a couple of Ireland based people talking about it. Must be rumours about it over there.

[Gordy M]

Id be very surprised if its Magilton....he hasnt managed in the UK for 10 years and its 6 or 7 since he was in Oz? Wouldnt Hibs have had permission from the N Ire FA to approach him? Doesnt that normally get announced in the press?

I think Graeme Jones would be a good appointment. Been assistant to Martínez at Swansea, Everton and Belgium and currently 1st team coach at West Brom. Have heard him on radio and speaks very well about the game.

You said you wouldn't come back to watch Hibs if Magilton was appointed manager. I thought that was odd for someone who had watched the team over a period of 60 years.

Odd in the sense that a potential manager, who you have no idea what kind of job he would/could potentially do, would see you give up after 60 years. Especially after watching a range of terrible managers.

My old grandad passed away last year aged 89. Watched us through thick and thin. From Famous 5, Turnbulls Ts to Miller, Duffy et al.

To think he'd give it all that up because of a manager he had never even witnessed managing his team would've been.....odd.

Like I said earlier. I admire your stance. I just find it odd for a lifelong Hibby.

Hope that makes sense now.

And you can ditch the 'superior' crap.

[Hibees1973]

Interesting that Dempster said they have not spoken to all the candidates yet. Given that this all kicked off 2 weeks ago, I feel that anyone with real interest in the job would have been in contact with Hibs by now.

Maybe they have been unable to speak to/contact someone they are interested in. Are they waiting for him.

Load of tosh in the press but some genuine journos have Appleton and Heckingbottom as candidates.

I still feel that Stubbs will get the chance to state his case for the job. And maybe as an outsider Strachan.

I hope it is Strachan.

There’s absolutely no logic for Magilton to get the job and I don’t think for a second Dempster would just ignore his entire managerial career.

[Real Emerald]

The bookies are compiling a ‘book’ based on money betted. There’s no team sitting sifting through who has done well at interviews etc. for the Hibs manager. The money betted in the scheme of things will be tiny, so any bet of any substance (not sure in cash terms) will change the odd dramatically. The ‘book’ has to balance for betting companies.
