Jack Ross

[Vault Boy]

I’d be happy with Jack Ross.

His recruitment came in for criticism at Sunderland so I’d want to see that he has learned from that. Graeme Mathie will have to form a good relationship with the new manager to make sure we get the right players in.

Finding Graeme's replacement might end up being just as important as getting the head coach right.

[Halmyre Hibee]

Jack Ross is a no brainier for me. Knows Scottish football and young and hungry. The added advantage is that he’s available without having to pay compensation and that saving could be used to bring in additional players in January. I’d rather it be him than go back the way with an ex manager personally.

Welcome Jack Ross and best wishes for a successful turn around.:cb:

I’m no sure if there will be a replacement or if it will still be a part of Mathie’s remit within his new role

If Jack Ross is rubbish for failing at Sunderland, then Dylan McGeouch must be rubbish too?

Jack Ross is likely better than a lot of us are giving him credit for. And Dylan isn't quite as good as some of us make out.

Right now I'd probably take the pair of them.

Hibs will go through due dilligence, speak to candidates. It won't be done now or this week - just my opinion. They'll currently be whittling down a shortlist before interviews

This is one of the main problems with modern football. Managers are literally being written off as a failure before they've even been appointed. No wonder managers struggle to win over fans, some stubbornly make their minds up and then refuse to change them (less so with the latter of the quoted posts, but the former, definitely).

[GloryGlory]

Anyone in the press reporting this?

Nope. Nothing about a press conference at ER, either.

[Shrekko]

Dear god no

[Vault Boy]

Where are folk hearing about this? Or is it all just a hunch?

[WeeRussell]

I watched a Sunderland game last season and Dylan was excellent in it.

I have no doubt, just as I watched him have very good games for us too.

Was more a general point about football fans writing off those we don't know that much about, and inflating opinions of those people we DO like.

[Greenworld]

Don't think so, it's just pure speculationBeen told it's done deal was told yesterday but thought I'd hold off .
Same guy told me Hecky was going the morning before it broke.

Dear god no

Why? Who is your preferred candidate then?

[Vault Boy]

I associated his St Mirren team with being quite compact and good on the counter. One up top but usually three forward players in attacking phases.

No idea what he played at Sunderland.

[BoomtownHibees]

No this again before the new guy is in. If he can get us playing effectively with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 strikers then surely that’s the main thing?

I've yet to see the appeal of Ross, for me it's a no but if he gets the job he'll get my full support.

Likewise. Not exciting, not fresh or new or "left field". Failed with a massive budget that dwarfed that of most if not all his competitors last season. A Buddie ST pal loves him though so who knows.

He was quite versatile with St Mirren changing from a 433 to a 3421. There’s an interview where he speaks about playing 3421 against Dundee United in detail which is very interesting and I think we have the players to play that formation.

Pretty sure the budget everyone keeps going on about is the overall wage bill bloated by high earners who'd got them in that position in the first place. Can't believe people cant see what an impossible job that is... and he very nearly got them up.

Who are all these fresh, new, left field candidates that would be more 'exciting' than a manager with a vey good record who knows the Scottish game?

[Robbo6-2]

It great that we have so many managerial experts on here.

Ross is viewed as a failure after losing out on a 96 minute goal in a play off final! He was one goal away from taking them to the Championship ffs! He took over Sunderland when they were on their knees and quickly turned them around.

Personally I am not fussed either way if we get him or not but to class him a failure is nonsense imo.

[southsider]

JR ? Right so if we have a bad season we can just go to bed and when we wake in the morning it’s all been a dream.

[Stuart93]

Football forums are funny in the respect that if Jack Ross joined hearts there would’ve been an outcry on here that we’d lost our target to them & whoever we brought in wouldn’t be our number 1 choice

Now that it looks like he could be coming here people are passing it off as the easy option etc

Genuinely no winning in this situation for the board

[Heedersnvolleys]

Interesting aswell that Sunderland have now lost 4 out of their last 6 games since he left....

So will the new Hibs management with dross PH has left us

It's not the fans role or responsibility to reel off a list of names. Simply stating a fact that Jack Ross does not immediately get my pulses racing and I'm obviously not the only one.

The proof of the pudding will be in the proverbial eating though. If he gets the job, just like every other Hibs manager, he'll have our full support I'm sure of that.

I will be delighted if he goes to Hearts but i dont think he would be allowed after past issues.

If we're going for him we should do it now, you can guarantee if we fart about with it he'll end up at Hearts and we'll never hear the bloody end of it.

[NC1875]

People going on about him “failing” at Sunderland. A deflected injury time goal cost them possible promotion at the first time of asking.

Yet people want Stubbs. The less said about Stubbs and playoffs the better.

[Hibs90]

His football is negative or at least certainly has been with Sunderland.

[Brooster]

This is Sunderland in League One we are talking about. He failed to get promoted and was heading the same way this season. He doesn't know how to win football games. I will back him but rather we looked elsewhere.

Club doctor rumours apparently.

[truehibernian]

I’d rather we take our time and see what calibre of coach applies and shows interest. The club needs a strong character in the absence of characters and leaders on the pitch. We also need experience and someone with good contacts down south (higher end clubs) so we can take advantage of the loan market and grab some exciting young talent.

Players are fickle (and many in our squad lacking desire) - a manager who commands respect is what’s required to get them to ‘get with the programme’ or end up emptied.

However I’lll contradict myself slightly here and throw Shaun Maloney’s name into the mix - seems to be very highly regarded, played at a high level, international number 2 for one of the best sides in the world, you never know - maybe a chance to step up to the No 1 spot ?

[Vault Boy]

This is Sunderland in League One we are talking about. He failed to get promoted and was heading the same way this season. He doesn't know how to win football games. I will back him but rather we looked elsewhere.

He's won nearly as many games as a manager as he has lost and drawn put together.

Fair enough assessing his relative drawbacks and history, but to say he doesn't know how to win football games is just blatantly false.

[Heisenberg]

He figured out how to win them pretty well with a St Mirren team who weren’t even favourites for the title to be fair. I’d be ok with him getting the job, but as with Hecky, you’ve just got to wait and see how it goes. There’s no manager in our budget that wouldn’t come without a black mark against their record somewhere.

To put it the way you have is fair, but he had huge problems turning draws into wins at a club with a big budget compared to the other teams in their league. Do we get rid of Heckingbottom to take someone on with that track record without asking any questions?

:agree: That's exactly what it is.

And that's exactly what it was with Heckingbottom.

Lots of Hibs fans desperate to be seen as the first one who exposed our manager as a fraud.

Even when we were winning game after game under Heckingbottom, there was a vocal minority who were just waiting for the first defeat. It didn't even take a defeat. The 1-1 draw at home to Hearts and they all slithered out from under the rocks.

It's a pathetic way to live and support your football club frankly.

He turned St Mirren from relegation certainties to league winners in 18 months albeit he was well backed in player recruitment. Anybody who'll come to Hibs is a bit of a gamble and I don't see why Ross is more of a gamble than any of the other names in the frame.

It’s been happening since Mixu (or Mixup, as some of the geniuses on here christened him).

As soon as a manager’s getting the weekly stay/go polls on Hibs.net, its time to stick the next manager to be sacked bet on.

No, you are the pathetic one continually griping at your fellow fans. Since he took over PH never sent out an attacking formation he might have got a run of results last season but many fans thought the football was poor. Since the start of this season, with his own players not those he inherited from NL, it has been even WORSE and fans did not like it and chose to let him know.

DON’T use words like “slithered” when referring to the Hibs’ support

They will have contacts but they also follow the market - if someone chucks £100 on Ross then the odds will likely drop. I’m sure I read that these markets aren’t big so a fairly small bet can impact the odds significantly.

Totally agree small amounts of money can make a big difference when you are betting on things when both sides can talk. However they are not going to price a market with no knowledge. If they did not make money these markets they would not be available.

Bang on. It's been very sad to see. The treatment of Heckingbottom by some was appalling. It's a sad indictment to where we are socially that someone can get such public abuse for trying to do their job. Got rid of Twitter because of it as it was toxic and unfortunately here wasn't much better. Almost as if some folk revel in it.

Think the last para is more indicitive of social media rather than the support tbh.

Pity the support never hounded him out quicker imo.

[Benji1]

I'm with you, I suspected weeks ago that the board were done with PH and were looking at replacements before giving PH his jotters. May made it clear last time he was caretaker he didn't love the role and we don't look quite as desperate to get someone in if we're just sounding folk out, unlike last time when Appleton seemed to hold all cards.

Do we continue to go for relatively young managers (stubbs, Hrckingbottom) or someone with more experience but possibly less "hipster". Its a big decision but it quite simply has to be the right one as another heckingbottom could be disasterous

It's a complete crap shoot.

Twenty years ago...

We went for young upcoming Scot and got McLeish

Then we went for young upcoming foreigner and got Sauzee

Then we went for experienced Scot and got Williamson

Then we went for experienced Scot and got Yogi

Then we went for young upcoming Scot and got Calderwood

Then we went for young upcoming foreigner and got Fenlon

Then we went for big personality experienced foreigner and proven SPL-er and got Butcher

Then we went for young upcoming foreigner and got Stubbs

Then we went for big personality experienced forgeiner and proven SPL-er and got Lennon

Then we went for young upcoming foreigner and got Heckingbottom

Then it appears that whoever we go for next, they'll be gone soon no matter how well they do.

Even if they have made an approach to JR they will review applications and speak to other people until a contract is signed rather than sitting waiting for him to decide.

If JR doesn't want to come to us or takes a job elsewhere then we have other options and it encourages JR to make up his mind incase we find someone else we decide to offer it to ahead of him.

I can't see us letting it drag on for weeks. They will want to have it done during the international break and the new man in place for the Motherwell game.

I don’t think managers can take it for granted that their ‘going rate’ is based on highest earnings achieved in previous posts or that their level of employability is based on the top standard of league they have worked in. Most managers are out of jobs because they failed somewhat in their previous post and they should be prepared to take a hit and start building up their reputation with a step down in wage demands.

Correct appointing JR without looking into what other candidates were available would be lazy imo.

He might be alright but he’s not got a good enough CV to just jump to the front of any queue without considering anybody else. That’s not ruling him out but we need to look at what else is available before making a decision.

Just spoke to the relatively sane St Mirren fan in our office. A season ticket holder and in the fan ownership thing they have.
