Jack Ross

[Vault Boy]

Yessss

[Allant1981]

Apparently in talks tonight with ross according to sky

[hibees 7062]

Craig Samson installed as goalkeeper coach

[flash]

Happy enough with that.

[Jim44]

How far off the pace are the Jambos on KB. A very recent post:


 That’s similar to what I have heard. Not really interested in either of the jobs in Edinburgh but going along with the media hype to assist getting another job down south. Only Sunderland board think he did a crap job there. His record at Sunderland is decent just didn’t get them promoted. 

[Heisenberg]

Wonder if Combe is leaving?

Must be unless we are starting a goalkeeping coach school :greengrin

[The 90+2]

From The Sun.

Ex-St Mirren and Dunfermline defender John Potter is likely to be named as his right-hand man with former Scotland squad keeper Craig Samson installed as goalkeeper coach.

Sunderland want Potter off the books so won’t be hard to deal with.

[makaveli1875]

He was my 1st choice the second Sunder land fired him. Dunno why but I feel like it's his time to shine and Easter Road is the place to do it. Welcome to the Hibees Jack

[hfc rd]

So that’s it then

Can he bring Dylan McGeouch & Marc McNulty with him please!

[Speedway]

Potter at Hibs? Surely not!

[CLASS OF 72 -73]

Not unhappy with the appointment .lad has a least proved himself.
All we need now is Warnock at the yams and there will be loads of fireworks and fun.

[CapitalGreen]

Wouldn’t have been my first choice but much happier/confident with Ross than I was when Heckingbottom was appointed.

[JimBHibees]

Delighted. Hope it works out well for us and him. Welcome Jack.

[Robbo6-2]

Good choice.

Looking forward to see how he goes

I’ll call your Friday and raise you Thursday evening. :greengrin

Bump. :aok:

[Spike Mandela]

Similar to Neil Lennon appointment in being, a young manager with experience of Scotland coming back up from England with something to prove. Happy with that.

[madhatter]

Don’t understand why Combe would leave as part of this...

JP will have to negotiate a release from his current contract, but if and when he does it will be an interesting family dynamic at the next Fixture vs Hamilton as his brother Brian is goalie coach with them :take that

[J-C]

Some head coaches have their own preferred staff they like working with, Samson probably isn't a bad coach.

Sounds very much like it is a done deal. Great work by Leeann and co to get it sorted this quickly.

Good luck to the Jambos hope you manage to get your guy in time for the Boxing Day derby.

Is this happening or just a rumour by the weegie press

Not official yet but the media are saying deal is done.

[SRHibs]

One of the main criticisms of Hecky's tactics was his insistence in playing one up top. Seems odd that we're so widely enthused about another manager with a history of playing 1 striker.

Why give Gray and McGregor long term contracts then? Thought planning was to have Hibs people at the club...

I don’t mind playing one up front if we’ve got the players to play it.

If Ross works towards that formation that’s fine as long as he recognises that we don’t have the players to play it now.

Or if it's a 4-3-3 he plays maybe Flo on the left, Boyle on the right and Doidge through the middle, It's not about playing 2 up top it's about playing the correct attacking playing in a formation that gets the best out of them. Celtic and Rangers play with 1 up top but look at the attacking options they both have.

[Jim44]

Relax. They’ll definitely announce it by Monday evening.

It wasn't one up front that was the problem it was our overall attacking play imo.

[The 90+2]

One up top featuring two players that don’t like playing up on their own is a major problem.

[007]

Can't wait to see what sh*te Budge makes up to appease the Jambos to let them believe JR wasn't wanted.

[GibbytheHibby2]

One up top featuring two players that don’t like playing up on their own is a major problem.

Not a dig at you, but I’ve seen a lot of this criticism of 4-2-3-1. It’s not the formation that’s the issue. If you play it properly, the only time there’s one up front on their own is when you go long (just like when we defended corners on Saturday at Perth). Played properly, the full backs become wingers and the wide of the 3 join the striker.

So many variations and also easy to switch to any other formation when it isn’t working. You don’t need a big lump up front to play it, just players who are free to attack.

[brog]

It wasn't one up front that was the problem it was our overall attacking play imo.

Agreed, The Rangers play 1 up front & they're scoring plenty.

[Frankhfc]

Jack Ross now 1-20 money on skybet. Very rare to see odds such as these not prevail.

Looks all over bar the unveiling.

Can’t see that. I don’t remember either clearly stating intention to get badges. Says something that Whittaker stepped in to help recently. He may be further along with badges etc. but that doesn’t mean much when McGregor is about the same the age.

I also can’t see either being a manager. Coaches yes, manager no.

They could be coaching the 16s or they could be in some ambassador type role. They were never gonna be first team coaches right away during those 4 years.

[The Spaceman]

Very happy with that. Strikes me as a McInnes-type appointment: someone who I can see being at our club for a long time!

[DavidDavidGray]

1 up front is a perfectly good formation that most top teams in the world use. However, we do not have the players for it and we work much better with a front 2. It’s about using what’s best for this group of players

[madhatter]

Well they will still be there doing there badges and learning coaching starting with the youth teams what's not to like

Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

Are they actually doing their badges? As far as I remember ambassadorial stuff was all that was mentioned. as far as I know, neither have really stated a clear intention to become a manager or coach.

[JimBHibees]

Disagree if well coached they should be able to rotate and work together.

We clearly haven’t got the players that suit said formations though and our two forwards prefer playing alongside a partner. Why oh why do you sign Christian Doidge to play him up on his own? The formation with our group was Heckys downfall.

[ancient hibee]

They’re at Napier,As is Marv,doing a football management course.Don’t know about badges.

[The 90+2]

Surely homework should be done about the type of player you are signing before signing them though? We had Kamberi here who doesn’t suit playing up on his own then bring in a player who also doesn’t prefer playing the lone role. We then put the likes of Allan and Mallan on the right when they are never going to be able to support the one up with the pace they have. Fair enough use the formation if the players are there to suit, if they aren’t then play to the players strengths instead of square pegs in round holes and then try to coach it into the players.

[Spudster]

Maybe his previous squads suited one up front?

[The 90+2]

Maybe his previous squads suited one up front?

He played two up top with St Mirren, usually 2 of Reilly, Cammy Smith and Sutton.

[Robbo6-2]

Hes said on record he has no preferred formation and will find one to suit the players he has it his disposal.

It wont take him long to suss out that neither Kamberi or Diodge are suited to playing 1 up.

[Speedway]

[Pretty Boy]

Hope he actually gets a chance.

Social media is full of the '2nd choice', 'cheap option,' 'typical Hibs', 'would rather have had...' chat already.

Ross is a decent appointment imo. Not one that is going to get the heart racing maybe but he doesn't scream disaster either. He deserves a chance and, as with any manager, should live or die based on his results.

[Since452]

If we play like Ross's St Mirren I'll be delighted. Best side we played down there the season we won it

Correct, we only lost 3 league games that season and St.Mirren should have beaten us by more than 2-0 that night.

On now

Jack Ross to be announced tomorrow

Full report 9.45pm

[number9dream]

Will be interesting to see how he accommodates Mallan, who was a big player for him when he saved the Buddies from relegation. Ross pushed him forward into the number 10 role after Alex Rae had him in a deep, quarter back position and Mallan racked up a load of goals and assists.

Our midfield balance & strength looked much improved on Saturday.

[BILLYHIBS]

I think Mallan will be the one who drops out purely for the reasons you alluded to. Allan is better playing the advanced roll and our other options are better than Mallan for the remaining midfield positions.

I think Whittaker has his A license and has been working with the youth squads recently, Gray and Daz I seem to remember are doing their badges at the moment with Bartley, I think it takes a year or so to do the badges.

Think the reaction has been pretty positive since the media have confirmed he’s getting the job.

Think it’s ok for people to have an opinion on him, as long as they give him a chance and I’m pretty sure everyone will.

If it was someone like Harry Kewell that got it, there would be too much negativity hanging over him from the start he wouldn’t have stood a chance but I think there’s enough positivity about Ross to make sure he’ll get a fair crack of the whip.

Nah, not convinced.

Gordon could easily have met people discreetly and he could easily have met people without Underscores knowledge.Of course he could have. That doesn't support your no chance underscore could know.

What you mean is "there's no chance I'm believing you know that".

He may well know. He may not. It's your choice to believe him, but you're wrong to say that there's no chance he could know that.

It’s up to him to then make sure that support is retained. Not setting up for a home game, like Heckingbottom did that night, would be a good idea though. Then us ‘types’ who saw the warning signs that night will just have to find something else to moan about.

[Togs91]

I work down south with a few of my mates being from sunderland and avid fans of the club. Not one seems to dislike him, in fact they all wish he had been kept on. They rate him, just unfortunate he got one to many a draw and the big game he lost was at wembly with nearly the last kick of the ball.

Did you give Lennon the benefit of the doubt after the way he set up in his early days vs Celtic? Without going back over old ground, Lennon also had us set up so passive vs them and only when we went behind did he have to change it to have a go.

Turns out that the ones who wrote Hecky off early were right.

There will be some grumbling in the wider support but I think JR can win them over - he knows what it takes.

[RossScott1991]

Good luck Jack,

Set us up to be on the front foot and “have a go” and you will be given time you need to build a side. If I rock up to ER on a Saturday and can see the team trying to play good football and beat teams then I will accept all the bumps and defeats that come with being a hibs supporter.

If he can give assurances his teams will always first and foremost excite and attack and get at teams regardless who they are up against then that is good enough for me, it could be anyone in charge with that attitude and they’d win me over.

I just want to enjoy watching my team again knowing they are trying to do the right things. Don’t over complicate it or overthink it. This is Scottish football, we can’t win the league. But we should be able to produce a team enjoyable to watch and make life difficult for teams coming to ER. Odd cup run always welcome. That’s all I want a

[Jim44]

Interesting? What content?

I’ll admit the presentation is amateurish and naff but they sometimes cover decent stuff. For example, tonight they had a bit about the Catalonia/Spanish Govt./Scotland issue. Quite a relevant thing in relation to Scotland’s efforts for independence. They also had a wee snippet about some Scottish football club taking on a new manager.:greengrin Anyway I know what you guys are getting at but if you can go beyond the duff quality, it’s palatable.

Did you give Lennon the benefit of the doubt after the way he set up in his early days vs Celtic? Without going back over old ground, Lennon also had us set up so passive vs them and only when we went behind did he have to change it to have a go.

If I remember right, Lennon’s first game against Celtic was a 2-2 draw at Parkhead, when Celtic were still ‘invincible’. McGinn scores twice and we were properly top class that day. He tried to be clever in the cup semi final, it backfired, but I don’t think there’ll be a Hibs manager who will get as many positive results against them as he did.

Because we’d enjoyed plenty good results against them, being positive, that contributed to the reaction PH got when he accepted defeat from kick off.

Good appointment. Welcome Jack. And well done for choosing us over the yams. That already puts your account in credit.

[Tug Wilson]

When Stubbs took over the club needed a root and branch transformation. The fans went with it.

Lennon took over when the club and fans were on the biggest high ever. He rode that wave and the vibe was so positive.

Heckingbottom inherited a club on a dip but did enough to steer the club to top 6. The fans seemed happy but warning signs were there.

This season it has just gone toxic. Hecky had to go.

Ross takes over at a time when those with negative voices are being heard loudest.

However football fans are fickle and a few good results and we will all see the positivity return.

I wish him the best of luck.

Has my backing.

[The 90+2]

I reckon Ron will give him good financial support in jan and the summer, perhaps why its took so long to agree? JR wanted to make sure dosh was available.

Probably because Ross was working in the PFA before he went into coaching and wanted to cover himself during negotiations? I’m also confident he will want to bring Ian Murray on board.

Another quote unknown fact - he’s written a few kids books.

:agree:

PH s##t it that night

He seriously underestimated our League and did not do his due diligence into our club our traditions and the way we play football especially against the Old Firm and the expectations of our supporters

Celtic were there to be taken that night and I have no doubt that a Neil Lennon HIBS team would have knocked them out

In games versus the Uglies PH played 3 lost two and drew one versus both respectively

Jack Ross needs to keep the momentum going from our excellent result at Perth starting at home versus Motherwell

If it's jack ross which seems to be the case(been here before though)then I am delighted!!

First manager hibs have appointed in a while that I've wanted to get the job.

Really liked him when he was up here,stuck it to hearts to go and be his own man.was able to get teams motivated to win games from bad positions,brought a respect to a wee club like alloa who became hard to play against.
Carries himself well.think we are in for a good few years with this guy in charge.

Will still need time and help to bring balance to the squad but I am really confident about this one.

Onwards and upwards hibees!!

We controlled the majority of the game at Celtic park when we drew 2-2 v Celtic early doors after we came up. McGinn scores twice and bosses the midfield.

I’m fairly sure we started very slowly and defensively, went 1-0 down and changed it, likewise the cup tie where we went 2-0 down before actually having a go at them, and then again in the home league game, we went 2-0 down by sitting back and admiring them, before changing it to have a go and nearly winning it.

I’ve no problem with people having reservations, however to write Heckingbottom off after one game vs Celtic but pretend Lennon went all out attack vs Celtic in his early days is just nonsense. Even the Aberdeen cup semi final Lennon set us up completely wrong and defensively! It took him 4/5 games to be brave against these sides!

Another Athletic article of interest on JR....

[jacomo]

When Stubbs took over the club needed a root and branch transformation. The fans went with it.

Lennon took over when the club and fans were on the biggest high ever. He rode that wave and the vibe was so positive.

Heckingbottom inherited a club on a dip but did enough to steer the club to top 6. The fans seemed happy but warning signs were there.

This season it has just gone toxic. Hecky had to go.

Ross takes over at a time when those with negative voices are being heard loudest.

However football fans are fickle and a few good results and we will all see the positivity return.

I wish him the best of luck.

Has my backing.


That’s a pretty good summary.

What I want to see is not only a manager with a plan but one who has the ability to implement it. Ross should get the backing to do that but he sounds quite pragmatic, which is what we need.

Anyone who expects 11 new players in January is in dreamland and anyhow it’s not what we need. 2 or 3 good additions to this squad should see us fine.

[BILLYHIBS]

Good luck Jack,

Set us up to be on the front foot and “have a go” and you will be given time you need to build a side. If I rock up to ER on a Saturday and can see the team trying to play good football and beat teams then I will accept all the bumps and defeats that come with being a hibs supporter.

If he can give assurances his teams will always first and foremost excite and attack and get at teams regardless who they are up against then that is good enough for me, it could be anyone in charge with that attitude and they’d win me over.

I just want to enjoy watching my team again knowing they are trying to do the right things. Don’t over complicate it or overthink it. This is Scottish football, we can’t win the league. But we should be able to produce a team enjoyable to watch and make life difficult for teams coming to ER. Odd cup run always welcome. That’s all I want a

:agree:

We got our team back for one game at Perth last Saturday we need to keep that going and the fans will get behind the team and back them all we ask is that the players give 100% for the jersey and leave everything out on the park and the results will come

[The 90+2]

Even the Aberdeen cup semi final Lennon set us up completely wrong and defensively! It took him 4/5 games to be brave against these sides!

We went one down but didn’t ***** the bed, like we did against Celtic under Hecky. We also went to Ibrox and won 3-2 (just for a change) before we went to Parkhead so Lennon had credit in the bank against the old firm. We got absolutely battered off Rangers and fluked a 1-1 after the Celtic game last season also. We sat and let Rangers and Celtic play their game, something that we didn’t have to do for a good wee while before Hecky came to the club.

Anyway, all in the past now. Bring it on with Good Ol’ JR.

[Eyrie]

Pleased to hear that it's Ross.

Built a good reputation with Alloa and St Mirren, and didn't do as badly as his detractors want to think given the problems at Sunderland.

[Captain Trips]

Every manager is a risk anything can happen no matter the CV. Jack Ross is more than a decent choice for the job. I think this is going to work.

[GreenCastle]

Happy with Ross - hoping he can stabilise us like McInnes did with Aberdeen as long term Hibs can’t chop and change every few years. We need to build the club from all levels as it a been under performing.

I always think it’s more than the manager these days.

Assistants and staff are crucial for it to work.

Wonder if Fowler will be his assistant as Potter was the 1st team coach at Sunderland with him.

[hfc rd]

Skybet have suspended betting on next Hibs manager. BBC, STV and various other media outlets claiming that Jack Ross is the new manager.

The stench of vinegar on the KB Jack Ross thread is overwhelming. They reckon we’ve rushed into a hasty, ill-fated appointment and that they are sensibly cruising to the appointment of a footballing leader in his field. To be fair, and I know I shouldn’t, some say that Ross is a decent appointment for the mediocre quality of player at ER but that their patience will seek out a genius who will have the experience to nurture the abundance of footballing talent which is lurking somewhere in their Gorgie midden, waiting like a smouldering Phoenix. It’s hilarious but pathetic at the same time.

I worry a little at the start Ross had at St Mirren before getting his own guys in. Hopefully not similar here.

Stuart McCall the visionary leader. Lets be honest, if a top name was avaliable they wouldn't be interviewing McCall or Cotterill who'd struggle to get the Raith Rovers job or a last ditch effort to prise Derek Adams from the clutches of the mighty Morcambe.

I’m amazed at the calibre of people Hearts are looking at, it’s a dreadful list of candidates that I’ve heard so far.

Think Budge has backed herself into a corner a bit by saying she wants an experienced manager. There’s really no that many good ones available.

Wow just had a look 😂. This one must really hurt. The fact that Jack Ross worked at Hearts so knows the club inside out and still chose Hibs after an interview with them really hurts their "big team" ideology.

[JimBHibees]

I worry a little at the start Ross had at St Mirren before getting his own guys in. Hopefully not similar here.

They were adrift at bottom of the table he then gambled in bringing 10 players in and 10 out in a transfer window not long after he started and was then able to brilliantly turn it round.

[mjhibby]

Ross was the no 1 target for weeks now but obviously we had to check who would be interested in the job. Kennedy never seemed likely unless he was keen to move which we will never know if that was the case. An added bonus of getting Ross is he seems to be the guy most of the press wanted us to go for so we won't have the sniping that we constantly got when we appointed hecky.

Lewis Morgan was brilliant that day

Mind that McInnes failed at Bristol after doing very well at St Johnstone. How you do in England isn't necessarily a bearing of your performance up here.

[Danderhall Hibs]

That’s a good point - the media do sway a lot of people’s opinions and having one they like means his signings won’t be criticised early etc.

On the other hand it is annoying when they won’t criticise and they all jump to defend them when they’re clearly not doing a good job - there’s still comments being made now about Lennon having “grown out of the Hibs job” now - a year after he was sacked/about to be sacked for a run of poor performances.

Can’t be right.

Leeann and Ron rely on Budge for advice, because she is so much better in every respect, so surely Hearts have secured their new manager and we were only allowed to talk to Jack Ross once he’d been told he wasn’t wanted by them?

Do you know who will be the assistant then? This appointment becomes more risky with a different management team, it's as much about the assistant and other coaches as it is about the manager/head coach. We know that from Stubbs' time.

As much as I love Dylan and definitely would want him back, there’s a nagging doubt that he wouldn’t be quite as good as last time without McGinn. No matter where on the park or how many players were around him McGinn was always an out ball for McGeough. He’d only have mere mortals to pass to now.

Saying that Allan has still shown he can still be excellent without McGinn so sure Dylan would be the same. Would need real energy in between those two IMO.

That's simply cobblers.

We have seen that Mallan undoubtably IS something special with his penchant for regularly scoring goals from 30 yards plus. We have also seen that he has other aspects of his game he needs to work on - particularly on the defensive side.

It's fair to say that he shares his defensive frailties with another special player on our books - Scott Allan - and that makes it difficult to play them both in the same starting line up. Scott pips Mallan at the moment and so Stevie takes a place on the bench. Does not mean that Mallan "isn't anything special and we're better without him playing" which is a typical football fan's distortion whereby every player is either ***** or a superstar with nothing in between.

Sunderland echo reporting Craig Samson as goalie coach and also a first team coach coming in, end of the road for Murray and Combe?

Edit: can’t fix that link somehow?

Would be a real shame if Combey gets binned. Massive Hibby and done well under several managers.

[brog]

That's simply cobblers.

We have seen that Mallan undoubtably IS something special with his penchant for regularly scoring goals from 30 yards plus. We have also seen that he has other aspects of his game he needs to work on - particularly on the defensive side.

It's fair to say that he shares his defensive frailties with another special player on our books - Scott Allan - and that makes it difficult to play them both in the same starting line up. Scott pips Mallan at the moment and so Stevie takes a place on the bench.

:top marks

[Smartie]

When he's played in the correct position he is , unfortunatly we have someone even more special already playing there

I share your opinion.

[Allant1981]

We've seen now though that Mallan really isn't anything special and we're better without him playing.

Was he not player of the year last season, we have played 1 game without him, wouldnt read to much into that

[HendoDelivered]

Anyone reckon we will announce him today?

[bingo70]

Anyone reckon we will announce him today?

I thought that was a certainty however a couple of places now saying within 48 hours so maybe not.

[BlackSheep]

I'm hearing you just made that up.

Lol... no but seriously, definitely hearing that while Ross deal is all good, there’s other bits to finalise.

[Carheenlea]

Frustrating for everyone that the press seem to know Ross is the new manager and Hibs being Hibs will be reluctant to make any announcement in advance of any deal being properly signed off.
Just makes the whole thing a bit of an anti-climax when it is eventually revealed.

Hibs being Hibs, waiting until a deal is finalised before announcing it? I don't see the issue.

[Squirrel 1875]

Well well. As per usual, I am accused of speaking of an old photo. I never realized Jack Ross had the powers of Dorian Gray because the picture I have seen has a lot of grey hair.

It would appear that certain posters consistently accuse me of sharing inaccurate content. As a person who prides himself on sharing accurate information, I would never share a lie knowingly. I think certain posters should reflect on this fact and perhaps remember that this is a forum for discussion and debate, not for shouting down those who try to share information.

We generally don't announce new managers until the evening when everyone's home.

[scoopyboy]

I wasn't particularly wanting Jack Ross but if he is Hibs choice then I will accept it gladly and support the man.

I was told a while ago that he would never be employed by Hearts as long as Ann Budge was there.

However I wish we would now get this over the line sooner than later as I have a horrible hunch that Hearts will try to steal him at the last minute.

I would find that hard to take.

If it's the photo that was doing the rounds on here a couple of days ago it's 100% from when he was a coach there, you can see Levien's arm in it and a Google search brings up the original photo with the full management team. If it's a different photo then share it on here rather than being vague then having a rant.

Haha you’re really strange sometimes man

People are only telling you it’s an old photo

No-ones accusing you of lying or shouting you down? Simply telling you the photos an old one

I love it when folk post stuff on the Internet and then whine because other either disagree with them or point out that they are wrong.

Absolutely outraged at that photo.

Allan has more goals this season than Mallan in 12 months. I cant think of one thing Mallan does better than Allan except him score the occassional screamer. He can only pass the way he is facing, is slow, weak, cant really dribble past anyone, cant drive with the ball.

We are definitely a better side without Mallan IMO. Slivka is a much better player.

Just makes the whole thing a bit of an anti-climax when it is eventually revealed.

Why would Hibs announce it officially before everything's been rubber stamped?

We would look a bit foolish announcing it beforehand and then either party notices a clause in the contract that they don't like and then suddenly the deal's off.

So Hibs only officially annouce things when they are official? How dare they

Totally agree. 👍

[NAE NOOKIE]

I feel the same. The same types that were writing Heck off after the Celtc Cup game and who created a negative vibe seem to be at it with Ross before he has arrived. No idea if he will be a good boss but he deserves our support

The turnout for that game from our support was poor. For my part I turned up hoping to see a new manager giving it a go and what I witnessed was an utter and extremely tepid capitulation as did every other Hibby in the stadium. If that game created a negative vibe it was of Heckingbottom's own making.

[Greenio]

I’m afraid in my old age I am unable to post said photograph. I don’t know how to attach it. I can assure you all that it appears accurate. You are all assuming I am wrong and making right fools of yourselves. An incredible lack of reflection on this website at times.

I think you have simply picked everyone up wrong here. There is a picture that has been doing the rounds this week. People are assuming this is the pic you are talking about. And that pic is old. No one is having a go at all.

So it would be less foolish for everyone to believe you, despite a complete lack of evidence?

If this photo was as accurate as you're saying, it would be all over social media and in the press. I think you're the one who needs to reflect.

In a roundabout way that’s what I was saying.
