Strachan for me.

[Wellbankhibby]

Gordon Strachan fits the bill for me. Would attract players. Plenty of contacts. Hibs need someone to motivate them he would certainly do that. Ask the question if he says no get Collins back and yogi as his assistant. Also plunder Motherwell for their scout.

Robert Grieve saying it’s a non-starter

[Lancs Harp]

Just out of interest, when was the last time GS actually managed a club side?

[The Harp Awakes]

Robert Grieve saying it’s a non-starter

I suspect he wouldn't want to return to front line management. It would be a great move for Hibs though if they persuaded him.

[number9dream]

The wee chap is on record saying he doesn't want to manage again. He also keeps banging on about how happy he is working with the kids' teams in his role at Dundee. However, I don't know how much time he actually spends at the club since his family are down south.
He might fancy one last job and there would be an emotional pull but I just don't see it happening.

[MrRobot]

Hope we're not interested in Strachan at all.

[Wellbankhibby]

Just out of interest, when was the last time GS actually managed a club side?. Does it matter. Your not telling me he wouldn't do a great job at Hibs. He would get the best out of this team.

Hey i just asked out of interest as I stated at the start

[Wellbankhibby]

Why would you say that. He would without a doubt be a Brilliant Appointment if Hibs could persuade him.

Totally agree!

He did well with Scotland........

See what happened before and after he left?

Maybe with John Collins as a Director/Coach team :thumbsup:

Loads of experience and skill.

Both Hibs men? Top Team.

Fingers crossed!!!

[BigKev]

No thanks to Strachan, JC or Yogi.

Strachan failed in his last job at club level, JC almost ruined us with atrocious signings and Yogi... well he failed miserably at the mighty Raith.

If folk seriously want any of they 3 then they need to seek help.

[MB62]

Strachan would be my choice, even if it was to the end of the season, with maybe bringing McPake with him with a view to taking over himself either next season or season after? Strachan could then be possibly fitted in to work with our youths ultimately, a job he seems to enjoy at Dundee.


Just throwing an idea about, but that might possibly work for all concerned?

[Percy Vere]

Why would you want Collins? Loved him as a player but Don't get this fascination for someone tge players detested. He did nothing and I haven't seen much of him since. Yogi would not play second string to that prima Donna.

I didn’t read that but I was surprised to read that the announcement of a new manager will be delayed until after the international break. That’s two weeks today.

Raith has proven to be a poisoned chalice. He won the Scottish cup with Inverness and walked away when the board wouldn't support him.

Not sure whst the Sun knows, but this is what Strachan said in January when he was being linked with the job at Lennon's departure:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibernian/in-full/gordon-strachan-responds-to-speculation-linking-him-with-hibs-job-1-4864950/amp

Didn't exactly close the door on the idea then. I think he could be tempted with the right offer.

[lyonhibs]

Would be great but pie in the sky thinking I fear. I wouldn't go as far as saying I'd bathe in a bath of beans if Strachan turned up as our next permanent manager but not far off.

[California-Hibs]

Ive always said it, I'd be delighted to have Strachan as our manager. He done very well with Scotland and knows his stuff. Very well respected within the game.

[Hibeez70]

No rookie manager this time round ! Need a tried and tested manager who knows the Scottish game and one that doesn't take any passengers in his team ! Need a strong character who fights till the very end ! The old hibs way !!!! Strachan would fit the bill but there are so many more

[Gmack7]

Strachan and Darren Fletcher would be my choice. It would be a gamble but worth trying IMO

Well Big keV who do you want Jack Ross or Alan Stubbs. We need someone to motivate the team and youngsters to look up too. On recent form we can't take chances. Motivation is so important. In my opinion Strachan and Neil Lennon would have turned all of our draws into wins.

100% well said. Totally agree with you

Collins has always been the ultimate professional in my opinion the players sold him down the river because he wanted them to work hard and look after their fitness. As a player he was brilliant for Hibs and even stayed with us when he had the opportunity to go to Celtic previously he signed on again at ER.

[Wellbankhibby]

I don't think Strachan would be a gamble intact If he was offered the Managers job we will comfortably be top six this season and challenging for Honours next season

[CathroMustStay]

Genetically speaking, I'm opposed to Strachan being involved in any capacity at Easter Road.

That’s a bold statement. All our draws into wins?

Strachan is yesterday’s man. JC too egotistical and Yogi is just not someone I’d want anywhere near us. He wasn’t good enough first time around so why has he became the messiah now?

Stubbs won us the cup. I can’t see how anyone would have ill feeling towards him. Ross, if appointed, will have my backing. Would he be my choice? I doubt it. I’d open the recruitment up to applications and cast an eye over the candidates.

I would support any Hibs Manager. I don't see what Jack Ross would bring to Hibs but if appointed I wish him well. As for Stubbs yes he managed us to the best day of my footballing life but was a failure in the league. If we had lost the final he could have been sacked. As it was he walked away from us. I keep saying we need someone who will motivate us. Get some Dig And craft into the side. Strachan is that Man in my opinion.

You just said no to Strachan in your earlier as he failed in his last club job yet Stubbs failed in his last two jobs and he is okay Ha Ha Ha :greengrin:aok:

No, I wouldn’t be ok with Stubbs. I said I can’t see how anyone can have ill feeling towards him. That’s completely different.

Strachan has had his day. I’d expect someone younger to be appointed.

[iwasthere1972]

I'm maybe being thick here but why? I'm only sorry that he didn't take the job after Lennon left. I'm pretty confident we would be in a better state than we are now. I like Strachan.

Someone like Heckingbottom rather than a vastly experienced manager that knows our game inside out?

Strachan does nothing to excite me. His record with Boro was appalling. His record with Scotland was appalling. Why the appeal? Because he’s a Hibby? He’s not managed a club team in years. That’s why I don’t want him.

It’s not up to me to find candidates. That’s the job of the board.

If you’re happy with Strachan, JC or Yogi then that’s up to you. You’re allowed an opinion. I just wouldn’t have any of them near ER.

Seems strange you are willing to rule lots of people out but unwilling to offer an alternative. Strachan was not appalling as Scotland manager see McLeish and Clarke for that description. His record in Scotland (where Hibs play) ranks with almost anyone.

He is a good coach and motivator he gets players wanting to play for him. I can't think of anyone with a similar pedigree that would consider Hibs at this time.

So yeah I am happy with Strachan and I am okay with you sitting on the fence.

I followed Scotland mostly home and away under Strachan. We were appalling, believe me. Hecky was a good coach as well by all accounts, didn’t work out well for him.

So if Jack Ross is unveiled will you be disappointed it’s not GS?

No I would not be disappointed but I would prefer wee Goggs.

If it is neither I will not be disappointed I will hope the new guy goes on to be a great Hibs manager.

I’m not averse to Ross but I don’t think we should jump in without assessing other candidates who might apply from down south or abroad. It’d be foolish not to consider anyone with a pedigree from a top nation.

I'd be surprised if GS wanted that stress in his life.

Totally agree!

He did well with Scotland........

See what happened before and after he left?

Maybe with John Collins as a Director/Coach team :thumbsup:

[monktonharp]

cant take anyone seriously eIther, who thinks Stubbs failed. lost a silly late goal in the LC. Final and lost the game. missed out on promotion the same year, with late goals at Falkirk, who had a cheating referee against us at ER who cost us 3 points by not giving the most blatant penalty ever seen ! then went on to be the first ever manager to win a Scottish Cup with a second division team against another second division team. AYE,WHAT A FAILURE HE WAS.

[Dashing Bob S]

Can’t see what Strachan would possibly offer rather than cockily interesting press conferences in the honeymoon period and infuriating obscure ones when it went array, but happy to stand corrected.

I took it as quip regarding Strachan's comments on genetics while in charge of Scotland. Around the time he was finding excuses for making an arse of things and not playing Griffiths.

That makes it sound like I don't like GS, that's not the case. I think his time was up at Scotland (after doing a fair bit of good) and he'd started to get too much wrong. Hypothetically I wouldn't be against him taking the reins at Easter Road.

[CRAZYHIBBY]
