New Manager

[04Sauzee]

A certain striker who has played for PH and JR in the last ten months says PH is the better manager.

Says it all for me.

JR is a poor mans PH.

Marc McNulty who was getting a game unde PH but not under JR? I guess he did have a few injuries down south.
The guys he had at St Mirren loved him.

I'm not for or against the guy, I'd hate to have to choose a new manager

Did that same striker not say Hibs only problem would be keeping hold of Hecky?

Maybe he just talks *****, or maybe he just really likes Hecky?

[Unseen work]

Got to laugh at some folk not impressed by Jack Ross but then wanting a random foreign manager they know nothing about because it’s different.

Jack Ross is the man for the job.

Really good knowledge of the Scottish game
Done brilliantly with Alloa
Took St Mirren from relegation candidates to winning the league with attacking football in 1 year.
Took on the poisened chalice that is Sunderland, he had a lot less spending power their than some think and although failed to get them promoted got them to the play off Finals and left with a 50% win percentage.
Recruitment and players he want will be similar based on previous.

I’d be happy with a Jack Ross or Pérez tbh

Who on this thread has said they are not impressed by Jack Ross but want a random foreign manager they know nothing about?

[Unseen work]

If it is Jack ross so much for the different direction LD suggested we go down, if you were going to select a mould of a Hibs manager he would fit it based on what seems our recruitment criteria.

I’d be underwhelmed with JR I have to say, hoped for someone that was a bit unknown, foreign manager with but excitement factor regardless how it would end up lol. Surly what would let us tap into other players aswell, JR will just fit in with the recruitment team.

Capitalgreen - Here’s in example

[green with envy]

Roberto Di Matteo - linked with the Killie job, Champions League winner as a manager?

Six manager positions and his longest reign was two seasons with WBA, the rest being only 1 year or less than and sacked by Villa in his last job in 2016 after only 5 months in charge.

Those stats and the fact he's not managed in 3 years, don't fill me with much enthusiasm regardless of his Champions League win.

[Bob Box Fish]

Given Dempster's performance as CEO in the last year I wouldn't be surprised if she went with Jack Ross. Lets hope he doesn't pull the wool over her eyes like PH done during the interview process....

[sean04]

If Perez appointment meant that we were able to link with Man City then certainly could be worth it

[calumhibee1]

I've stopped having strong opinions on managerial appointments, as it just seems there are so many unknowns - even for the directors appointing - never mind us fans on the outside.

We have appointed complete novices with no connection to Hibs, novices with a connection to Hibs, and people with a track record of success at smaller clubs (most of whom have also had success since).

Some have worked well, others atrociously, and many have been in the middle but are judged as failures because we fans demand challenging for 3rd while playing brilliant football (the curse of Mowbray).

Basically no manager will get time to build as fans are impatient, and the nature of fitba at our level is very transient, with almost complete player turnover every couple of years.

Personally, I was hugely underwhelmed when we appointed Mowbray, pleased when we appointed Yogi Hughes, John Collins Bobby Williamson, Mcleish and Lennon, and I was ambivalent to the appointment of Stubbs, Butcher, Calderwood, Heckinbottom and Fenlon.

So I'm happy to say I dont think I know which managers will and wont work at Hibs - an elusive cocktail of chemistry, coaching experience, luck with recruitment, luck with youngsters, experience from playing days, circumstances of Hibs, circumstances of other rivals, connection with fans, who they are succeeding, how they handle the media and probably many other factors.

I'll back whoever they choose, because it seems to me every appointment at our level is a roll of the dice.

:agree:

[The_Exile]

I think I remember reading about Guardiolas management 'upbringing' and him saying Raul Caneda was a massive influence on his style and tactical approach. As far as I was aware he was more into the tactical analysis and education type of role so if he's now looking to get back into management, then that would certainly be something we should explore if he sees us as a good fit for what he wants to achieve.

Says you he’s the man for the job. Others are allowed a different opinion for whatever logic or their driver is so you can ram your ‘got to laugh’ comment, condescending.

As has been said regardless of who’s done what it guarantees nothing, wanting something a bit different than the Scottish PH is so unthinkable right enough.

Imo he’s the man for the job yes, I’m not championing a manager iv never heard of before just because he’s foreign.

Maybe we should go for someone that none of us have heard of. Might mean the guy gets a chance before a proportion of the support write him off.

With his background, a Spanish manager will tick a few boxes for Ron Gordon.

I'd trust Scott Burn on that personally.

Although I don't agree that it's as simple as that. It's basically a mate bigging up a mate, with all due respect, Pep doesn't give a toss about what's best for Hibs.

I'm certainly not saying he's wrong, I know nothing about this guy, but I don't think Pep's word is a enough to go on.

Agreed.

It’s enough to get the guys foot in the door and it merits the club investigating him a bit further but no more than that.

SAF has recommended some ***** managers in the past I’m sure.

[lyonhibs]

As there are just too many known unknowns and variables, as a fan I'm not taking this new manager appointment process too seriously.

Thus, based purely on the apparent Pep recommendation and his snazzy foreign name, Pérez is now my preferred option for the hotseat.

Tapas and Estrella Damm to replace the current pish catering obviously

GM: aye right stevie (mallan) pull the other one...

Remember we had Brandon Barker from City, he seemingly enjoyed himself up here, also Lescott has been up a good few times in his player liaison role so we've obviously struck up a rapport with them.

If Pep has genuinely been in touch for his man A) More or less the best recommendation someone could have and B) would probably see us better placed to feed off City’s academy.

Agree but that was then and this is now

The Coaching Staff were obviously in Camp Lennon at that time

No one knows what actually happened

I was impressed by Eddie Mays pre and post match interviews his new positive attitude and the way he set up the team to play football

Probably no chance of getting the gig but refreshing nonetheless

100 times better than his attitude post Lennon which was off putting to say the very least

I wonder if Guardiola has called old pishy pants over the road??

Alan Nixon sounds quite confident it’s going to be Ross. If so would hope he’d be appointed before the weekend.

I don't think his role is decided by the manager, he reports to sporting director and Leeann directly so it would be a joint decision by them if he was to be replaced, which gives a lot more job security compared to the manager's role.

Any news/rumours then? Do we think suggestions on this being wrapped up this week are likely? Any managerial appointment is a gamble so I personally hope the club don’t just default to something perceived as “safe”. Kilmarnock lost Clarke and didn’t go for a “safe” option and so far it’s going ok for them.

I’m not sure what constitutes “safe” but what I mean is retreating back into a shell due to how Heckingbottom went. Hope they pick best candidate regardless of perceived risk.

Cool, thanks. Not my first picks. Hope they prove me wrong, I’ll support whoever comes in until they don’t do well enough!

I was intrigued by the Raul Caneda Perez rumour. Mainly due to potential tie up with Man City and also a different view on things. While not in the best of leagues, he has a reasonably good track record as well.

If Ross or Kennedy, I hope they will not have us playing boring football. My preference on that front would probably be Kennedy.

Wait and see I guess.

Why is that rarely the case for other managers (at Hearts or Aberdeen)? If our manager has 1 good season it always seems to be “get your bags packed we’re off to Glasgow” but McInnes hasn’t had the same level of interest. This seems similar for players as well, Porteous will likely be a transfer target...

If true, I would be surprised as I had heard on good authority that, of the two clubs, Ross favoured the Hibs job. Maybe they offered him money he couldn’t refuse. There again, maybe the rumour on KB is a load of tosh.

Simon Ferry said on his latest podcast that he’s heard the job is Jack Ross’ if he wants it

[Scott Allan Key]

With the best will and preparation in the world you don't always win. He chose a high profile game against probably the most difficult opponent they would face in a season. I'm sure it was a good example of their processes.

If he picked a game where everything went right and they won comfortably he'd be getting grief for painting himself as some kind of super coach.

Whatever he does, he just can't win.

[Since452]

Sunderland horsed again tonight, Parkinson finding it difficult to get a tune out of Sunderland, maybe Sunderland pulled the trigger a little early?

There a a lot of fans on Twitter saying they've made a mistake sacking Ross

[Since452]

See there is a thread on Hearts kickback saying Ross has knocked back Hibs......obviously they now think its because he is going to them......

Can't see it. Budge said they're going for a high profile, big name manager (even though Derek Adams turned them down).

Their mistake isn’t sacking Jack Ross, their mistake is replacing him with someone worse.

Still funny and a huge slap in the face to Hearts. Morecambe are probably the smallest club with the smallest budget in English football!

It's as predictable as Levein failing to win any medals, ANY time that someone is linked with both clubs, Hearts will claim that the person chose them over us, regardless of how close to reality it is.

Why do we seem to want to take a punt on someone a young manager with limited experience and not go out and get someone with proven experience and some very decent stock. Seems we are trying to find a diamond when we could show some ambition identify a quality manager and do everything we can to get him.

We need to kick on to the next level and an investment in a top manager is what we need imo or we will keep going through this cycle for years to come, what value can we get from available out of work managers etc who need to get their career back on track. Just feels like a bit of an easy option than showing some real ambition.

I do realise every manager is a gamble btw bit some of the names we are talking about in the grand scheme of things ha lack quality and ambition imo.

I hate when people ask this but do you have anybody in mind?

There’s a limited number of good experienced managers available, the only one I wanted and was my first choice at the start of the process ruled himself out quickly, David Moyes.

Other than him I can’t think of any other realistic good experienced managers that would consider the job.

Why do you hate it, why shouldn’t people not want the club to show ambition and try bring some stability over potentially getting Celtic’s assistant who’s never managed before.

It’s not my job to have the answer to who that manager is but quite honestly Hibs should know who they want to succeed PH that’s got to be part of the contingency planning.

I might be wrong and maybe makes more sense in my head than I am writing but feels like it’s go get a younger manager who will fit the structure rather than the best manager we would ideally want within our range.

Ach who knows

[ScottB]

Having someone ‘on the up’ appeals to me, and appeals to the sort of squad I’d like us to have; hungry young pros looking to prove themselves and get a McGinn style move.

Sure, an experienced manager might be good, but on our budget, that experienced guy is likely to be someone who has peaked (the old SPL managerial merry go round), someone who has failed previously or someone from a lower level. Whereas a coach from a bigger side, Stubbs, Mowbray etc is on that upswing, looking to take what they’ve learned and show they can be their own man.

You misunderstood me.

I mean I hate when people are asked to name a target, as you say, that’s the clubs job to know that, not your average punter.

I do think it’s a bit different with experienced managers that know the Scottish game though, I don’t think there’s really that many candidates that fit that bill. The fact that’s what Hearts have openly said they want and were considering Derek Adams tells a story in itself.

If you look at our position on the entire football landscape where are we likely to be able to pull a manager away from? the division below us? League 1 in England? No one is coming sideways to hibs now, so you can rule out the SPL for the most part and the Championship is out of our budget due to the money inflation in England. If you cut those out who is there? It's always a gamble like you said and we have had most of our success in recent years with newer managers.

It's not your job to have the answer but you ask the question anyway, and have nothing close to an answer. It's not that much to ask where this mythical manager with great pedigree and experience is? Most managers that are out of work have been fired or retired and at the level you want us to be at there isn't anyone thats going to leave a "bigger" league to come here.

Regardless who we get I’m sure the fans will back, then over to the manager to deliver. They need the fans onside don’t make the PH mistake and make them turn on you as pretty much never recovering from that scenario.

My world isn't one country, since I don't even live in the UK.

I don't think it's the only market but so much clamour has been made here about getting someone that knows the Scottish game, I did just assume that was the general consensus on this site. People don't even want an English manager at this point, has to be Scottish, has to know Scottish football.

Personally I think whoever it is just needs to not be arrogant about the standard of our game and embrace it, they will do fine, rather than comparing it to leagues in other countries.

No one is going to leave the Bundesliga to come to Hibs, even BL2 you'd struggle to entice someone plus fans here would label them as a cheap option because they have never "achieved" anything. Whatever the board do people are going to moan, you already have loads of people calling Jack Ross the Scottish Heckingbottom....

Hibs are doing the sensible thing and interviewing and considering all the candidates. Plenty of time with international break and win last Saturday. I would not jump to any conclusions or pronouncements but suspect will be slightly left field. My money on Kennedy. He knows the game and he is ready to step up to be the number one role after a long apprentiship.Hungry and ambitious and will have as playing attacking football.

Hibs might rule out all 5 of the chosen candidates (or they might reject what's on offer) and have to look elsewhere.

[Aim Here]

Don’t disagree with you, I also think they manipulate the markets to make people think somethings happening when there’s not.

I still think that’s why people put weight behind bookies odds though.

If bookies are manipulating the odds (i.e. pricing on a basis other than the estimated chance of winning on a regular basis), it could be tested for, statistically, using historical data. You can get a probability estimate from the odds and compare how often various probabilities show up - derived probabilities of 20%, say, should win 1/5 of the time, for instance. And if bookies are systematically mispricing, you might be able to use that to make money at their expense.

I suspect it's unlikely that they're doing that. I have done the exercise with SPFL results and not found anything obviously untoward, sadly.

Just in from Raman ... Hearing that Hibs shortlist for managerial post down two or three candidates, which includes Jack Ross. Celtic number 2 John Kennedy was considered for the post, but STV understands Kennedy is no longer a candidate

Can't see Kennedy leaving Celtic his job there is an absolute sinecure.

At least Harry Kewell made the effort to attend a game.

Plenty of out of work managers will declare an interest in both jobs just to raise their profile whilst they wait for an opportunity they actually want.

Said the same to my mate. Wouldn’t want Kewell to get the job but fair play to him for fronting up and hustling. Most out of work managers “declare their interest” through the media.

C & P from a post on KB, for what it’s worth. Falls in line with what I’ve heard.

According my mate, who is a Hibs fan, word is that Jack Ross was at Hibs training ground today being introduced to members of staff.

From the start of the process Dempster said they want to cast their net further than we had done with recent appointments. To me it seemed a bit strange and ended up with a 2 man shortlist with both people being within about 60 miles from Edinburgh.

I thought it was a stick on to be Kennedy tbh but I’m wondering if it might be someone completely random.

And yet no media got wind of this and there’s still betting going on :greengrin

He was at some Celtic event yesterday, saw him posing in an old Celtic top on my mates Twitter feed.

Have you heard anything about Darren Fletcher?

Nothing, sorry.

How many games have you seen his teams play in? I've only seen his st mirren team live and they weren't to shabby, only ever seen a few highlights of his sunderland team so cant comment on that but unless you have personally watched his teams play I'm not sure how you can pass judgement

[1875Hibees]

Nothing, sorry.
All good mate. Just thought you had maybe heard something going by your post.
