Go for a manager that’s not made the top 6 in the last 2 seasons?

Tommy Wright has a better record and I don’t want him either.

Steve Austin
05-10-2019, 06:04 PM
He is an upcoming manager,likes to attack ,is not negative!!...
he is doing well on a much lesser budget,has an eye for a player and also the scout Martin Foyle seems to have a track record of picking gems from England !
we as a club are settling for mediocrity,where is the high press attacking football we were promised ???:cb.:rolleyes:.
we are near the foot of the premiership,with same old excuses getting rolled out after each match consistently from our manager!.
We have gone from signing guys from Juventus,A league,etc to Forest green rovers,Yeovil,Rotherham and Barnsley etc?,what has gone wrong with our club!!:confused::confused:

I guess he'd like to see what he can do with Motherwell this season seeing as the rest are absolutely ***** this season and he has a clear run at 3rd.

No danger people would rather hecky than Robinson. They’re 2 points off second. While we’re at it, I’d take their chief exec as wel

If that’s the only 2 options then yes of course I think most, if not all, would prefer Robinson.

There’s other options out there though which is why I’d prefer us to look further afield.

Nope, let's stick with Hecky for now please. I'd never have thought we'd avoid defeat in all 3 fixtures Killie away, Celtic home, Aberdeen away.

Today we created and were great to watch at times. Easiest hat trick Doidge will never have.

Hecky is going nowhere soon. If he isacked it would be seen as a failure on L. D's part. Not going to happen.

Managing Hibs compared to managing Motherwell is very different. You don’t have the same amount of pressure. Yes, he is doing well this season. But, he hasn’t made the top 6 yet! The players he has brought in from the English lower leagues are doing well, but again they are playing for a team with lower expectations.

Steve Austin

Hibs were not dross today

We were not dross against Celtic

And we were not dross against Kilmarnock

You’ve not been to any of the games have you? Be honest now.

Don’t think we managed a shot on goal against Kilmarnock did we?

Lots of dross teams take points off good sides, think St Mirren drew with Celtic last season before finishing 11th?, let’s not get too carried away with that performance even if it was a good result in the end.

It’s a glass half full viewpoint but if that’s how you feel then that fair enough.

As for getting carried away, that seems to work both ways.

If I have to be in one camp then I’d rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and correct ;-)

I'd never have thought we would have won 1 SPL match in 8. Good this appears to be something worth building on.

He was a bully there according to some reports. Lost twice as many games as he won and they gave it half a season before sacking him in the January.

Apart from one of the sides in there, a Robinson Motherwell who hammered us three nil and they sit in third, 8 points, yes 8 points already ahead of third-bottom Heckys Hibs.

PH is here now and failing, Robinson failing or succeeding is purely 100% conjecture the same as any manager that we can name. The one at the club just now is not answer.

Totally agree. Neither is Tommy Wright.

Dempster said in the Time for Heroes film, that the right Hibs manager is “a leader, a winner and knows the Scottish game”.

Even one of the three would be a start.

Robinson has been given time but you could always see what he was striving for, the type of football he was trying to play. Heckingbottom plays laborious boring football, hang in for a win and don't get beat at all costs type football, is this what we want at Hibs, me personally NO. I'd like to see Stubbs back again, had an eye for a player and knew what the fans wanted football wise.

A very interesting quote that.

Begs the question how the ‘recruitment process’ led us to the position of 2 football league no-marks being the best options.

That quote was relevant at that particular time. We’d just been relegated and she made it clear that they wanted someone who knew Scottish football in charge at that particular time.

Your comment about football league no marks is out of order IMO. Is that the same football league that ‘legends’ like Logan, Cummings, McGeouch currently play in and that we signed Gray, Fontaine from?

There are no marks in all leagues we have signed some in past and some good ones.

If LD has stated that those are the qualities which make up a good Hibs manager, then I'd suggest that these qualities are always relevant surely? Appleton and Heckingbottom don't seem to have any idea about Scottish football, and whether or not PH can be deemed a leader/winner...

Yes well aware we have signed good players from those leagues over the years - usually coincides with us having a good manager though!

where'stheslope
07-10-2019, 11:47 AM
The best manager at any time is the one who's team is near the top of the league!
But usually when you look back at previous season you see they had bad times as well!
The trick with managers is the same as with players, you hope that your pick is a winner and hope for the best!!!

I think there are striking similarities between PH and OGS at Man Utd, OGS came in to Old Trafford with a real new manager bounce to the team, his pedigree was very decent , served a good apprenticeship at his previous club and had Man Utd playing great football and winning most if not all their games. This season however they are totally lost, dreadful football and results and this with some of the best players in the world in his squad.

Sometimes a manager just does not suit a club !!

well replying to your question,I have been to a few games and will be at Hamilton away and Motherwell home game!.
watched hibees for 30 odd years good and bad?.
Im just implying the high press game ,high tempo attacking football ain't evident?.As fans of this great club we deserve better I reckon than what's on show these days and player standards?.:cb:flag:

Just looked it up Robinson had a 21.2% win rate at Oldham:Ummm:
Do I want him at Hibs. No
Would I take him right now. Yes. Same as a Jack Ross, don’t really want him either but would take him.
That’s the depressing state we are in right now, would take, in my opinion, a mediocre manager to replace our current one.

I’ll be backing the manager for the next few games ( three ) I’d hope we win at least two of those.

Had doubts from day 1 that Heck had the ability to be a successful Hibs Manager, but had nothing against the guy and was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Sadly, during his tenure the club is on a downward spiral.

I would be delighted if he turned things around, but everyone who wants the best for the Club, and who has watched the games this season must surely know that this is very unlikely to happen. The deficiencies in the team brought about by very poor recruitment and poor tactics means it ain't going to happen.

Having said that, I do think a new coach coming in with the right qualities and tactical nous could improve us enough to avoid a relegation dog fight.

The Board need to act before it is too late. No wins in the next 2 games and he must go.

It’s down to one game for me.

We’ve not won a game in 90 minutes since the opening game of the season, if we lose tomorrow but win the week after I’m not sure that’ll really tell us anything.
