Steve Robinson

[Captain Trips]

My first choice after Lennon and nothing has changed. Knows game up here. Be interesting to see how he got on with more finance to work with, well perhaps not now on the finance front.

I agree. Was the only manager that I thought we should go for after Lennon

[Sammy7nil]

Butcher was also a manager that had done well at a "smaller" club. Expectations would be high.

[SMAXXA]

Did today I’d take him if we couldn’t get O’Neill which would be unlikely due to wages he’s on at NI

[SideBurns]

By all accounts, 'Well played Hearts off the park today and 3-2 flattered the Jambos. Allan Preston said as much on Sportsound. Now, that might be damning with faint praise at the moment but Robinson impresses me generally.

He'd be my choice right now.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Cheapest, easiest and best option for Hibs right now. He's been involved in the SPL for a few seasons. He actually knows how to deploy wingers . He'd have us playing like Hibs.

[Hakim Sar]

Wouldn't disagree with this

Yup...we'd have a go at teams at Easter Road, that's for sure. Not this sterile guff that we're witnessing just now.

[coldingham hibs]

No thanks, I’d prefer Gary Holt.

Pfft. Not a chance. Robinson a much stronger candidate -

[Greencore]

Got the feeling Robinson would be another butcher. TB was everyone's choice and done well with ICT...

[California-Hibs]

He'd be a brilliant appointment!

[Iggy Pope]

This is all very selective after a couple of decent results for Motherwell. If he’d been appointed after Lennon the reaction on here would have been seismic. I don’t remember anyone thinking how great he was then.

[Hermit Crab]

David Moyes anyone? Well experienced, knows the game up here.

It’s exactly who we need to be getting.

I’d guess a Michael Appleton type is probably more likely though.

If he wants back into management as the rumours go then surely we could offer him some sort of decent package to take the helm?

Not sure he still has much interest in management tbh.

I did and still do, think he is good manager. I dont just think he is OK for ladt 2 results I happen to think he interviews well and over the piece had Motherwell in 2 finals and has good potential.

[MWHIBBIES]

Definitely not cheapest or easiest because he currently has a job. He would require negotiation and compensation to Motherwell.

He got Motherwell to two cup finals in 2017/18 season and was unlucky not to get top 6 last season. Has them playing really well, If we don't go in for him when the job inevitably becomes available then he'll be off down south next season I reckon.

Or to the PBS.

[JohnM1875]

Wouldn't surprise me at all actually. Both them and us can offer a good deal more than Motherwell if he fancies a move to the 'Burgh. They might well act first.

[mixusman]

Would need to move for Robinson sooner rather than later as I think Motherwell will be this years Kilmarnock and his stock will be on the rise.

[SideBurns]

Aye, and if Levein does go then the Northern Irish connection at Tynie might persuade them to move for him.
If I picked up a paper tomorrow to find we'd dispensed with Hecky's services and had approached Robinson I'd be delighted. I just don't believe Hecky can turn this around, sadly.

[wookie70]

This thread and others could so closely echo the less than succesful Fenlon/Butcher transition. We need a shouter/motivator not a quiet decent guy, he already knows the league, he has done well at at smaller club, he plays good football with lesser players etc. He also failed at his previous English club.

[Hibs4185]

Robinson and the Motherwell head of recruitment is my choice. Id imagine their recruitment department and budget is nowhere near our size and they seem to uncover some gems.

[LeithMike]

Nothing is ever guaranteed with a manager but Robinson has done very well the last couple of years and plays attacking football with good width so ticks most boxes for me.

I hope Hibs go out and identify the manager they want this time rather than inviting applications from those without jobs.

How was it unlucky they never made top 6 last season?

I agree there are parallels with Butcher (he had smaller clubs punching above their weight too). But, based on the information available, Robinson to me seems as good a candidate as any. Any new appointment carries a degree of risk. Guess you could describe TB as a shouter/motivator..

Do Hibs do cheap options for managers ? Lennon would not have been cheap and even back in the day Williamson was he not the 3rd highest paid behind the uglies?
Even when we go cheaper (Fenlon) it ends up being costly so I’d hope we recognise the importance and remunerate accordingly. New era new expectations and that. Robinson wouldn’t have let Milligan and Bartley go in the same window.

He’s got Butcher written all over him. Apart from McLeish(who was given a fortune to spend) the only successful managers we’ve had have been young coaches who have been given their first chance to be a manager. Robinson wouldn’t get the time he got at Motherwell as I seem to remember him not having a great first season there, he’d be chased out the door with a similar start here.

[drumatic44]

Why not Strachan, ? a bit old school maybe, but he would surely inject some passion into the team, hometown boy etc. and, with someone alongside him to be ready to take over when he retires, promotion from within !!

He didn’t want it last time as he said he couldn’t work as a full time manager due to his work in his own project he’s set up. I guessing that’s why he’s gone to Dundee as a director of football.

That doesn’t matter according to some on here. Stubbs did the same and actually won one of them, but he’s a failure that we shouldn’t consider bringing back.

Good point - his players look energetic though, and can run (fast) and they make the park big with their wingers hugging the line.

The complete opposite of our narrow formation, slow build up and square passing.

His only success has been in the cup. He’s never had Motherwell in the top 6.

We're not a big enough/rich enough club to pinch Motherwell's manager. Just in the same way that there'd be no chance of us pinching their better players. Only Rangers, Celtic or maybe Aberdeen would be able to.

Why would you want Keane? He's legitimately ill in the head and would be a big disaster. He isn't passionate, he is deranged

[Pretty Boy]

Is there not a feeling among Motherwell fans that he's a bit dull and his football is grim and very long ball focussed?

I remember when we signed Bigirimana there was more than a few Motherwell fans saying he might do better at Hibs than he did there because the ball spent 90 minutes flying over his head because of Robinson tactics.

[The_Horde]

It's along the right lines though.

A Hibs manager needs to have an 'aura' about them (Stubbs, Lennon, Mowbray) Keane has that. I'd be tempted to try for Unsworth at Everton.

That was 13 years ago, he last managed 8 years ago and was a desperate failure.

Were a large number of the Motherwell fans not wanting him sacked at one point? Sure they went on a terrible run and only thing that kept him in his job was the season they got to the cup finals.

Stubbs hasn’t worked with the same coaching trio since he left hibs. Bring in doolan and taff and see how he goes. The style we played was far more suited to Spl, that showed in the cup results. My choice would b Stubbs, least we know he played football the proper way.

[Billy Whizz]

Something is right at Motherwell. Lots of youngsters making the break through. Seem to have a pathway for their young players.
Robinson let go a lot of experienced players last January, to allow some of them to get game time
But they also must a great academy too, to recruit these lads in the 1st place

Yes all threads should say if they are Sun/Record free. Can I add the Times to the warnings please?

They also don’t believe a word they read in the ‘rags’ so you’ve got to wonder why they want to read it anyways, unless of course it says something nice about Hibs then it’s ok!

And it’s grown men were talking about here too.

Rightly or wrongly, he was arrested and charged, so to my mind they are within their rights to run with that story. It’s a big story for Scottish football when a manager gets charged. Only surprise for me is if it happened on Friday, isn’t the normal protocol when charged that you have to attend court the following day? Ie the Monday? And normally held until you’ve been able to appear? May be wrong, that’s just my understanding of it.

No, you can be charged and released

Assume would only happen in more serious càses. Maybe got into an argument with someone steaming. Strange one.

Thanks for clarifying, just always hear of folk spending the weekend in the cells etc mainly after being lifted at the football on a Saturday.

Presumably, the Glasgow media are in league with Police Scotland and Stephen Robinson, given Robinson managed to get them to arrest him.

I was in the station whilst he was getting questioned by the police. His wife was going crazy at them. She seemed a bit of a loose cannon.

They only stated they don't click on sun links. He never asked anyone to copy and paste.l FWIW I agree but don’t feel the need to laugh.

I never said he did, there have been literally dozens of posts on here of folk asking someone to copy and paste an article as they don’t want to click on a particular site, hence my comment.

They must be playing Rangers today

I know you didn’t but your comment was prompted by the post on this thread. Hence mine.

Today I am not going to click on any newspapers website to read any articles on any subject. I just thought I would let everyone know just in case you don't have a mind of your own. :wink:
