Noticing the Sun and the Daily Record both posting in the last 10 minutes that Hull are interested in Heckingbottom

Hope there isn’t much in it given the sources...

Normally don’t take what either say seriously, but I was a bit worried that both papers came out with the story at the same time.

I’m guessing we’re going to have to get used to this every time a lower PL/ Championship team have a vacancy [emoji849]

This is second job he has been linked to yet he is hardly in the door and was unemployed for months
He sounds a decent guy and I would think he would want to at least give next season a go and if he continues to do well then offers will come in but we really cAnt be letting him go at this point when he has already brought players in and other moves are in pipeline
Fed up with us losing key people quickly Feels like it happens to us more than other Clubs but probably just the way I am feeling after reading the post

Don’t think the Hull story is based on anything other than a need to fill column inches by the papers mentioned.

On another note, when it comes to people leaving when ‘hardly in the door’..Hecky actually left to join Leeds 4 days after signing a contract with Barnsley.

He was apparently approached by a team down south back in March/April but turned down the chance to talk with them.

Will all depend on the cash I suppose but he seems to be enjoying it here and he's certainly busy building a side so hopefully he rejects this too.

Journo to Hull Recruitment/Chairman: "you're looking for a new manager, PH is doing a great job at Hibs, would you be looking at him?"

Hull Rep: "Yes we probably will, amongst many others"

Headline: ..........."Hull in for PH"

As long as he's doing reasonably well he'll be linked with every northern managerless club from the Championship down at least. Maybe some Prem and Southern clubs also.

We'd better get used to this and remember that it's not what's in the headline that matters, rather what's not.

If it said Hull to hold talks after many interviews I'd be worried.

I think it just shows how much of a coup it's been to get Heckingbottom. I think we were so distracted by the likelihood of Appleton that we didn't appreciate at the time that we've got a really highly regarded manager with modern methods on our hands.

I think he'll hang around for at least one full season IMO as he had his fingers burned at Leeds and he needs to make sure that the job he does now is as good as Barnsley and I don't think he'll jump ship without extremely careful consideration first.

I know which of these situations I would prefer.

If he gets some decent work done this summer, he shuffles off with us 3rd in December and the rest of the club stays the same, I'd trust the club to replace him adequately.

He's not the messiah. He's the head coach.

I don't agree with this - yet.

We finished fifth under PH. We had a good initial run and then not great after the split. The signs so far are good but the jury is definitely out in terms of both style of play and achievement.

He will be one of a pack of people seen as possibilities for these kinds of jobs - clearly they can't all get those jobs and of those that do only a limited number will be successful.

It's way too early so say that getting him has been either a coup or a mistake.

You think a manager would be happy to be touted about clubs by his agent “doing his job” when it could potentially scupper transfer dealings at this time of the year or unsettle this current squad at other times of the season questioning his commitment? I would presume he’s raging at his agent putting distractions in place while he’s trying to build a squad.

It would only scupper deals for the club he'd be leaving though. If a manager was given a job say doubling his wages, he would no doubt be given a transfer fund dwarfing his previous clubs budget and most likely wouldn't give a ***** about what he was previously trying to build.

It would place a bit of doubt in the mind of any player the manager was trying to sell the club to. Imo I don’t think he will be happy to be linked with these clubs if happy right now here and wouldn’t be advising his agent to get him linked.

As for the second part, he took a risk with basket case Leeds for all the benefits you explain, he got his fingers burnt and came out of it looking slightly unloyal to Barnsley. I highly doubt he will do the same 6 months in to go to Hull, who’s manager just walked out on.

I'm not sure that players are generally that bothered who the manager may be. There will be exceptions of course, but these guys get brought in on 2/3/4 year deals and regularly out last the manager that brought them in.look at McNulty & Omeonga last season, didnt seem to put any doubt in their performances that Lennon left before their deals where even finalised.

Anyway, I actually agree with you on the 2nd part. He seems an honest man who has had a bad experience in the past moving to a big club and I do feel he won't jump ship straight away. As I previously mentioned he's had a chance already to do this and didnt & I'd hope that he takes the same stance here if there is any truth to the Hull rumour.if he does though, so be it. We will survive.

I've always found Hibs managers are sounded out far quicker than their Hearts or Aberdeen counterparts. Off the top of my head I remember us losing McLeish, Mowbray and Stubbs over the years. McInness has been at the sheep for years after impressive league positions (i know he's turned down a couple of jobs) and can only remember Jefferies leaving Hearts for Bradford. Always found it slightly annoying as soon as we do reasonably well our managers are linked to everyone. Heckys barely in the door.

managers are lucky to even get 18 months now. even at the two exceptions to that rule, Manchester United and arsenal, that's no longer the case.

would you turn down a pay rise and a refresher to that 18 month contract if you were 8 to 12 months in? it's a percentage game.

He’s not saying he wants to go. It’s run of the mill paper talk which will likely come to nothing. As I said in an earlier thread, we deserve a settled period with a decent manager and not yet another untimely, unsettling disruption taking us back to square one just before the build up to a new season.

Unseen work
13-06-2019, 04:57 PM
Think Heckingbottom is too clever to leave already.

Going by his interviews since he’s got the job and for the period he was unemployed, he speaks a lot about self reflection and looking for the exact job that is right for him. Every detail was right for us and that’s why he took it, he also said he thinks that’s why things went wrong at Leeds as he went without properly looking into it.

Being however long out the game also highlights he won’t just take a job for the sake of it or for money.

With us he has his enthusiasm back and seems to be loving life here. He’s got off to a good start with transfers too being able to sign two players of the calibre he wanted before pre season has began.

Can’t believe the criticism he is getting too, we were rank before he came in and he managed to get us some very good results and finish 5th (which seemed impossible).

I’m very excited to see us next season.

I was actually worried about a Butcheresque type slide to the playoffs. We were in that kind of form. The transformation was remarkable.

The football, man management and feel about the club in the last 2-3 months of Lennons reign was every bit as bad as Terry Butchers. Freak result against Celtic aside, we were awful and his public treatment of certain players was absolutely howling.

5th was an utter miracle.

13-06-2019, 05:25 PM
No danger he'd even entertain the idea about joining Hull. He spoke a lot about picking the right club after getting binned early with Leeds.Hulls owners don't exactly have the best reputation.

I have no doubt he will want to go back down south at some point in his career but I believe he's smart enough to pick the right moment. Hopefully after he has been a success here and his reputation fully recovered.

I read this as an attempt to unsettle because I think Rangers are worried about other clubs in-and-around them. Hibs seem to be the common target though, any player or manager that does mediocre at Hibs is sought after according to the "media". I think Hecky could do a great job at Hibs but let's be honest he hasn't done anything yet. Even when you objectively look at the good run we had - there were a lot of games where we were fortunate to get the 3 points. Many hard working games but very few games where we had control and bossed the other team. You can see he has good tactical knowledge, can set out a team and influence the match with subs but I think against some teams we've been far too negative/structured when we should attack with more freedom especially with only 1 upfront. After our good run we became a bit of a hoofball team tbh. Hecky seems to know this though, hence midfield restructuring.

Hope we see a good season (minimum) out of Hecky. Never understood the urgency with managers to leave something good - look at Stubbs' managerial career after he left Hibs...

I think it just shows how much of a coup it's been to get Heckingbottom.

True!

You never read "So-and-so in for Levein."

He doesn’t sound like he’s going anywhere speaking about building plans this year and next, also Flo’ isn’t for sale.

Why not? Our head of communications came from one of them. Not that I think it’s linked. Scottish suns editor is a hibs fan also.


I could be wrong, but I always thought that KM came from the SFA ?

Do they not have something like a 200% wages to turnover ratio?

Don't the FA have any rules in place to prevent things like that?

That's what I thought, but I'm sure that when the figures were released a few weeks ago, Birmingham's were the worst.

Think the got a points deduction last season
Wonder if they used a clause in Monk’s contract, to remove him, get someone cheaper in

:agree: They were docked nine points - took them from just below the competition for play-off spots to just above the relegation battle, so no real damage done.

Yes, yammish type overspend at St Andrews, current wage bill is 210% of annual turnover. They are on a fast track to a brick wall at the moment

Bit concerning that a local paper is reporting that, they’re likely to have good inside knowledge from the club.

Surely we've got to tell them to gtf. Unless they pay a huge amount of compensation it's not going to be worth it. Having to replace him now would be too much of a disruption to the beginning of the season.

Depends if he starts talking about wanting to see other bags of sweeties.

If a manager wants to go somewhere else you’re pretty powerless to stop it as a manager who doesn’t want to be here is no good to anyone.

Not that there is any suggestion from Hecky that is the case, it’s just the only scenario I can see where he would move on at this stage.

See McCann is the preferred choice at this point unless Doncaster deny them permission, you’d hope we’d say the same

A bit worrying though. If not now then probably just a matter of time before we have another upheaval. I'd imagine our club already have ideas on who they'd go for next.
