[Phil MaGlass]

wheres Strachan?

[hibees 7062]

wheres Strachan?
Dundee

[WoreTheGreen]

Wolf? Aberdeen will **** it

[Pretty Boy]

I love some of the random names on these things. Last thing I remember about Tim Flowers was him conceding a bizarre goal v Liverpool in about 1997.

[Phil MaGlass]

Dundee

:greengrin

[Hibernia&Alba]

Chris Hughton 14/1. That would be superb.

Wolf? Aberdeen will **** it

[Barney McGrew]

Paul Hartley :faf:

[Beefster]

What's with all the Germans? Someone spotted Dempster on the piss in Bremen?

[Doh Rae Me]

Michael O'Neil 12/1?
What about the 3 million compensation

[Beefster]

Michael O'Neil 12/1?

We have a billionaire owner now. £3m is chump change to him.

[Leitherhibs]

Chris Hughton 14/1. That would be superb.

In the beat of a heart. Sadly won’t happen.

[McKenzie]

Moyes, Hughton and Karanka are all worth enquiring about. Top managers who have managed at higher levels. Exactly what we should be looking for

[CLASS OF 72 -73]

We have a billionaire owner now. £3m is chump change to him.

Not a Billionaire.. But might make a statement of intent with a big name if we are to advance the way he claimed he wanted to.

[Beefster]

Not a Billionaire.. But might make a statement of intent with a big name if we are to advance the way he claimed he wanted to.

Alright, a Gazillionaire. Semantics.

[Yorkshire HFC]

Whoever it is at Hibs that appoints managers has got a terrible record - apart from Alex Miller, have we ever had someone who has lasted more than a couple of years?

Short term thinking is useless - you just can't build anything on that basis - a football team, a business, a community, a relationship - you need to give it time.

It's no wonder Hibs are so poor.

And yet it will no doubt be the same people that make this appointment - the same people that have got it wrong so many times. Oh, and someone who has just jetted in from America.

It's an endless cycle - at least it guarantees a good day out every 112 years.

[pontius pilate]

Sky sports hinting that we could be looking at a foreign manager. Something different and a break from the same old names that get thrown about

Alex McLeish

They should tell Skybet then!

[worcesterhibby]

Wolf or Stendel would be great appointments. A german coach would have us passing the ball well, defending set pieces properly and scoring goals.

[Greenbeard]

It will be someone from left field who knows f... all about how 5H1t Heck's signings are.

[Yorkshire HFC]

Alex McLeish
Tony Mowbray
Neil Lennon

Ok - 3 years then.

And they were the odd good managers - usually they get sacked and paid off - Butcher, Fenlon, Calderwood, Paateleinan, Collins, Williamson, Sauzee etc................... and on it goes.

No wonder we can never afford any decent players - the cash is all given to sacked managers.

[Golden Bear]

Where's Craigie boy in the betting? It mystifies me why he's not quoted.

[Dr_Regal]

I love some of the random names on these things. Last thing I remember about Tim Flowers was him conceding a bizarre goal v Liverpool in about 1997.

Collymore, hit a divot and bounced right over his shoulder. Nightmare.

Mark Hughes??

[Barney McGrew]

Sky sports hinting that we could be looking at a foreign manager. Something different and a break from the same old names that get thrown about

Mourinho is still looking for a new gig :greengrin

[Vault Boy]

I never bet, but I've put a tenner on Ross at 6/1. Seemed like a good price to me.

[James70]

Nathan Jones???

He's been gone too long!

[Lester B]

Where's Craigie boy in the betting? It mystifies me why he's not quoted.

He’s slightly further down that list. Just below Elvis and the ghost of Alf Ramsay

[Unseen work]

For me Heckingbottom has proved how crucial it is that the new manager has knowledge of the Scottish game

[Fife-Hibee]

Steven Pressley 20/1

With the way things are going..... :wink:

[Swedish hibee]

Henrik Larsson!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[CapitalGreen]

Ok - 3 years then.

How do Hibs compare in that regard to teams in our league over that timeframe?

Celtic - 3, O’Neill, Strachan and Lennon
Rangers - 4 Advocaat, McLeish, Smith, McCoist
Aberdeen - 3 Skovdahl, Calderwood, McInnes
Hearts - 2 Jeffries and Levein

Also, Fenlon and Collins resigned so were not paid off. Williamson left Hibs to join Plymouth so again, he wasn’t paid off.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Funny how quick things change in football.
Not so long ago Tommy Wright would be among the top of that list.

Getting a tune from a below average squad he’d be on my shortlist

[sambajustice]

Sky sports hinting that we could be looking at a foreign manager. Something different and a break from the same old names that get thrown about

When's the last time me DIDN'T have a foreign manager...

Heckingbottom
Lennon
Stubbs
Butcher
Fenton

Was it Calderwood before that??

[04Sauzee]

Funny how quick things change in football.
Not so long ago Tommy Wright would be among the top of that list.

Getting a tune from a below average squad he’d be on my shortlist

I'd be absolutely gutted if Tommy Wright got the job

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

For me, Yogi till the end o the season and a permie contract if he does well.

[eastmainsmsh]

Ronnie Delia 🚕

[Since452]

No Roy Keane but 2nd favourite for the Hearts job? 🤔


Just saw he was 12th. Glasses on now

[calumhibee1]

Strange to see so many Germans near the top of the list. Certainly not the obvious choices.

Chris Hughton 14/1. That would be superb.

Will he bring his former number 2 and our former number 1 with him though?

Never going to happen.

Either they don't work out and get sacked, or they succeed and move on to better things. Such is life for any club that isn't Barcelona.

[brog]

Chris Hughton 14/1. That would be superb.

You obviously never saw Brighton in his last season. Chris H is a lovely guy but Hibs under Hecky were swashbuckling compared to the Seagulls. I honestly think we now need someone with an understanding of Scottish football.

[ionahibby]

Folk on radio Scotland touting yogi. Please no!

[Hibernia&Alba]

You obviously never saw Brighton in his last season. Chris H is a lovely guy but Hibs under Becky were swashbuckling compared to the Seagulls. I honestly think we now need someone with an understanding of Scottish football.

You're right, I didn't see much of them :greengrin. He did a good job for them, though, and for Norwich.

Haha, nice try Yogi.

[bingo70]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cherundolo

This guy came from nowhere to be quite short odds for the Barnsley job, suggests his agent probably putting his name out there.

Will the American link with Ron mean there’s an interest there?

I love a random name being linked, even if it is me linking him with the club.

[ionahibby]

Chris Hughton 14/1. That would be superb.

Remember our favourite sweetie shop manger regularly comes along as his assistant. That would be frightening.

[brog]

You're right, I didn't see much of them :greengrin. He did a good job for them, though, and for Norwich.
I didn't mean to sound sarky. They still love & are grateful to Chris H at Brighton but they're also delighted he's gone. My son in law is a season ticket holder who followed Seagulls through all the dark years at Gillingham & Withdean but he was giving up his ticket if Chris H had stayed in place.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Normally expect to see Scott gemmil mentioned

[Leitherhibs]

Remember our favourite sweetie shop manger regularly comes along as his assistant. That would be frightening.

He’s got the top job at Cambridge just now, we should be safe.

[pontius pilate]

Out of left field but I'd like to see Klinsmann what with the American link and all that

[degenerated]

What about Strachan with Darren Fletcher as assistant, working towards being the main man?

[Torto7]

Some folk actually want Tommy Wright. Scary. I'd be up for going in a different direction. Tbf the Mathie interview seemed to suggest we'd be looking abroad from now on.

[Smartie]

What's Wolfgang Wolf up to?

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Wouldn't want him.

He's howling.

[blaikie]

Henrik Larsson!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Interesting, he knocked the job back at Southend recently and could possibly bring Johan Mjällby with him ......

[ionahibby]

Strachan for me. Somebody with experience.

[Gaffer1875]

Ronny Delia for me.

Wolf was in charge of Hamburg who completely bottled it last season in Bundesliga 2 - winning 1 out of their last 9 games to go from first to fourth , and not even making the play offs !:confused:

[Bishop Hibee]

Sky Sports saying Yogi and Stubbs have expressed an interest in the job. I think we should aim higher.

Yes that was a bad spell however his overall record was:

The cheap option.

[eezyrider]

Just did a bit of research on the list and Daniel Stendel looks quite good. Okay just going by stats alone - -and he seems to speak English well - which for a foreign manager is important.

We've done well with ex Barnsley managers, right enough. :greengrin

[Tom Hart RIP]

Not advocating Yogi but I don’t understand the criticism of him as a manager. In his one full season he got us into Europe by finishing fourth and but for a terrible offside decision when we were 2-1 up to Ross County would have made at least SC semi. Brought in Stokes and Liam Miller and the team played some great attacking football.
Second season we sold either Stokes or Fletch on transfer deadline day and he had to bring in Daryl Duffy who broke a foot before his debut leaving us without a main striker.
He also won the Scottish Cup with Inverness and got Falkirk to a final.
Don’t think he’d be a good fit for us right now but I thought we got rid too early and he was far better than his successor.

[iwasthere1972]

I love some of the random names on these things. Last thing I remember about Tim Flowers was him conceding a bizarre goal v Liverpool in about 1997.

Plus Sam Allardyce at 25/1. I'm sure he'll want to leave his sunny villa to join Hibs for a few quid a week.

[Bukta#8]

What about Strachan with Darren Fletcher as assistant, working towards being the main man?

That would get my vote or Gordon Strachan and Scott Booth?

He must be doing cartwheels right now :greengrin

Oh yes. Supreme stuff.

Is Michael O'Neil not on something like 750k a year on a 6 year deal??

He is, but he’s got a release clause depending on who came in for him (source BBC)
Had fire in his belly as a player
NI could be out of the Euro’s in the next 2 weeks, maybe he’ll fancy something new

[CapitalGreen]

Steven Pressley, Robbie Neilson, John Robertson

:faf:

Robbie Neilson would be a better option than Jack Ross if performance in the Scottish Championship is the benchmark for our next manager.

[Box 17]

Shaun Maloney anyone?

Learning his trade under Martinez with the Belgian national side. No idea if he'd be interested but clearly will be looking for a shot at management soon and knows the Scottish game well.

Comes accross as a very intelligent and articulate individual.

[Frankhfc]

Kevin Thomson not even mentioned but Hartley and Pressley are.

Surprised Peter Houston wasn't given a shout on that list :greengrin

Lots of interesting candidates there with Henrik Larsson, Chris Hughton and Michael O'Neill stand outs.

Likely to be a number of applicants applying who're not on that list and probably some surprising names putting their names forward.

Yeh maybe he would want a new challenge, but im not sure if we would even pay half of that salary per year......do you think he would come for less than half his wages?

Yes, he is. £800k plus bonuses I think.

Not as much as a fantasy as wanting Michael o Neil or Martin o Neil and Roy Keane imo he hasn't been in emoyment since leaving the US national coach job. Granted he was interested in the spurs job if Poch leaves but why not be ambitious

[bingo70]

Is it even as good as that?

No but you’re not allowed to swear on this board.

[timewilltell]

For me, Yogi till the end o the season and a permie contract if he does well.

Talk about backward steps.....

While everyone else is picking names out out of fresh air I'll wade in with Harry Rednapp although he'd probably shout 'I'm a Celebrity get me out of Here" the way things are going.

stubbs and doolan 2 years please.

[Unseen work]

The German lads are certainly interesting candidates, especially Wolf and Stendel.

It would be a massive risk though as they have no knowledge of the Scottish game and I imagine would be recruiting very technical players that aren’t particularly aggressive or be what we need especially in midfield - again.

It could be a masterstroke though, not convinced with us being 10th they would take such a gamble, the right man should be selected regardless of where we are in the league though.

Saw Koop asked him to join Dortmund where they worked together for 6 years. Certainly can’t be a bad thing!!

[tonyrougier123]

I never bet, but I've put a tenner on Ross at 6/1. Seemed like a good price to me.
Thats a great price.Think you could be collecting vb.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Not as much as a fantasy as wanting Michael o Neil or Martin o Neil and Roy Keane imo he hasn't been in emoyment since leaving the US national coach job. Granted he was interested in the spurs job if Poch leaves but why not be ambitious


I'd be more than happy for you to be right (cannae see it though), takes me back to the old Italian football days when Matthaus, Brehme and him were strutting their stuff for Inter.

personally id like to see gary holt but perhaps it is trending toward the ever improving combination of Gordon Strachan/james mcpake.not sure about compensation to Dundee but both have hibs connections.i think there has been worse shouts on this thread.if Dundee are successful in the upcoming Tayside derby then their stock will have bumped up another level.might be worth taking a punt,both know Scottish game very well and I believe both get Hibernian fc also.could see hibs becoming a true community club again as I remember Strachan being a major player in a similar situation when at leeds united in getting the fans back on side.:flag:

He’s been a terrific success everywhere he’s been. Imagine establishing Brighton as a premier league club, Newcastle fans liked him. How many managers of Hibs can you remember that have played “good” football? He wins matches which I think anyone on here would take.

The Calderwood connection is enough to put me off.

[hibbydog]

A bit of a long shot, but I’d love Roy Keane to get the gig.

We need iron discipline, 100% no nonsense, blood and snotters stuff. The will to win a contest is what’s sadly lacking and I think that is what’s needed to turn us around and get a bit of confidence and momentum going.

On the negative side, he’s not terribly well liked and his personality might not go down so well. Similar to Lennon towards the end.

Oh and he’s probably making more out of sky sports than we could pay him!!

[we are hibs]

Changing from director of football to "sporting director" and Mathie claiming we would be looking further afield when scouting potential new signings to try and make hibs "global" is making me think we will go foreign.

I don't think so. He's a nutjob. Would do the same to the dressing room as Terry Butcher and tell the players they're not good enough and will be out the door at the end of the season. Gone are the days when you could get away with treating players like army recruits. Please not Roy Keane.

This is your gut feeling?

I hope the Board don't make decisions based on gut feelings.

The next manager will have a hard job - it's pretty obvious from the last few days that whoever it is will not be supported by a large section of fans (on hibs.net!). It seems like the only thing thing the fans can agree on is that they wanted Heckingbottom out. Just on this thread, 10 names have been put forward - and they've all been shouted down by posters!

Fans - Get rid of him

Board - We've got rid of him

Fans - Well what are you going to do now?

[Since452]

Going by some of the comments so far, no matter who we appoint they're going to split the support. We're going to have another Hecky/Lennon situation where a fair amount are far from convinced from the start. I include myself in that with Jack Ross. Just hope whoever comes in hits the ground running and wins the fans over.

This is what I have been suggesting. There is no stand out candidate and everyone would be a risk.

With Stubbs we have someone who was a success previously while playing attractive football. Let's get him in and see if it clicks again.

He also won't be expecting any other offers coming his way so we could get him in without spending much.

My only real concern with this is if Doolan wasn't alongside him.

What about Gareth Ainsworth as an alternative suggestion?

Has Wycombe top of League 1. Seen quite a bit of him on SSN etc and at least talks a very good game. Does seem very highly rated down South though.

Get the team back together Doolan needs to be part of. Its a easy win win.

[McHibby]

I'm not saying this to cause an argument, I genuinely do not understand how "he won us a cup" is a logical reason to appoint a manager. So did Alex Miller (I know, it wasn't THE cup 🏆) but we would never accept that reasoning from the club if they reappointed him.

What exactly did John Doolan do at Hibs which makes him indispensable now (or even worthy of the gig in his own right)? Apart from being a good guy that is...

I wanted Stubbs gone, I felt he still hadn't worked out how to beat the "lesser" teams in the Championship and it was the results against those sides not against Hearts and the Huns that stopped us being promoted. In saying that I felt the players he signed and the results against the top sides made him better suited to the Premiership, so I'd be happy to see him back until the end of this season.

I dont think anyone wants Stubbs just because of the Cup though do they? He inherited a shambles and built one of the best Hibs teams since the 70s. Always tried to play good football. Yes it wasnt all great, but Im amazed how quickly some seem to have forgotten how much he transformed Hibs.

Also bear in mind that Lennon only managed 1 more point than Stubbs when getting us promotion. With no Rangers in the league.

Heckingbotton inherited a team on the up in a final and took them up via the playoffs in the same season he took over, Ross took over a basket case that had been relegated two years on the trott and had to Buick’s a whole new team and he made the playoff finals. Some times budgets don’t really matter completely as in the bee all and end all because sometimes circumstances come into it such as building a new squad and coming up against a squad that has been together a few years, on the up with a manager there for a few seasons. Luton was one of they teams and it’s no surprise having been promoted two seasons out of four I think under the same manager they built momentum and went on from there.

I actually think the situation is turnroundable (made up word!), for someone who has the sense to play to our strengths. Those good phases of play that were fleeting in games, tended to come from what most in the ground thought was our optimum set up. A decent manager could get us from tenth to mid-table ish before January window, then offload the worst of PH’s signings, and get in the defensive midfielder we need.

It only take one large bet by a single punter to skew a market where the field is so diverse and the money placed pretty low.

[Speedway]

Alex Neil!!!!

[Golden Bear]

Alex Neil!!!!

Anything else to add?

[Since452]

Alex Neil!!!!

Has a very good thing going at PNE

[Heisenberg]

There’s no chance it’ll be Doolan. If he was going to get the job he would’ve by now (as in when Lennon left). Same with Stubbs imo.

[stantonhibby]

Alex Neil!!!!

£3m release clause apparently.

[bigwheel]

I can understand why people want Alex Neil...yet we would be as well saying Guardiola...he is MILES out of our range..and even if we could afford him (which we mostly definitely can't)..he would have no interest in moving from the English Championship to us...

[H18 SFR]

I actually think the situation is turnroundable (made up word!), for someone who has the sense to play to our strengths. Those good phases of play that were fleeting in games, tended to come from what most in the ground thought was our optimum set up. A decent manager could get us from tenth to mid-table ish before January window, then offload the worst of PH’s signings, and get in the defensive midfielder we need.

We can get 3rd/4th

Alex Neil!!!!

Refused permission to talk to Stoke
Has a much bigger budget at Preston
His release clause would be rediculous
He wouldn't want the job

The books would also consider whether the bet had a chance or not. Seems odd for a punter/s to wade in betting on someone who wasn't even mentioned unless they had heard a whisper or two from sources. It might add up to nothing but then again it could be significant.

Paul Kane thinks we should get Yogi back. There's times I wonder if Paul Kane fell on his head too many times......

... . rather scary picture of stubbs there.

[WeeRussell]

Would be happy with:

Scott Gemmill
Steven Robinson
Jack Ross


Would be interested in:
Stephen Glass
Jan Siewert
Roy Keane
Daniel Stendel

Would be wary of:

Alan Stubbs
Gordon Strachan
Gary Holt

Strangely your bottom list contains one or two of the names I'd be more happy with!

[hfc rd]

Alex Neil!!!!

His Preston team are flying just now and Stoke City want him as their new manager.

We’ve got just as much realistic chance of landing Michael O’Neill.

Just shows how quickly things change. Only a couple of years ago Alex Neil would have jumped at an offer from our club.

Interesting, he knocked the job back at Southend recently and could possibly bring Johan Mjällby with him ......

He never knocked back Southend.
The deal was for Larson, Mjällby and Tommy Johnson to arrive as a management team.
Johnson changed his mind at the last minute and Southend pulled the plug on the deal.

Larson was raging at Johnson for screwing them around.

*Wouldn't want Larson at Easter Road anyway. Non stop questions about Celtic, his past at Celtic and when he thinks he'll be ready for the Celtic managers job - no thanks!

I was listening to the Southend chairman on radio a few weeks ago live, and Larsson did pull the plug on the move.

He wanted Tommy Johnson in alongside him and had agreed terms with the chairman to work with Johnson and someone else who's name escapes me.

At the last minute, Johnson went somewhere else, and Larsson then decided he couldnt do the job without him, as he knew nothing of the league and Johnson was the guy he was going to heavily rely on in the early days.

Effectively it was Johnson who pulled the plug in that case.

Wouldn't want him anyway. He'd get the respect of the players instantly because of who he is but he doesn't seem to be a good manager and then you have the Celtic connection.

I'd also imagine him and Mjallbys wages would be at the top end of our budget.

No it was Larsson, as the Southend manager still wanted him but he refused the job as he didnt think he could do it without Johnson.

Just saw on Sky Sports news that Neil Redfearn has resigned his post at Newcastle. Coincidence?

[HibeeHutch]

Sacking Hecky who managed to get Barnsley promoted from League 1 with what I'd imagine to a bit above average budget to replace him with Jack Ross who failed to get Sunderland promoted with a budget that should blow the rest of the division out of the water doesn't sound that logical to me.

Or - you could look at it this way. Hecky was fired due to his unfamiliarity with the Scottish game/players and insistence on bringing English based players (and too many) to the club. Was possibly out of his depth and better suited to English game. Ross was fired due to his unfamiliarity with the English game/players and insistence on bringing (some) Scottish based players to the club. Was possibly out of his depth and better suited to Scottish game.

:confused: Who knows...

Think so. He fell out with someone at the club.

You don't want a manager because of the press?

What's his managerial record like? Don't know much about him tbh
