Managerial Vacancies

[Jim44]

He does commentary for them all the time and rangers are investing in his academy.


As well as referring to rangers as “us” constantly whilst commentating. He’s a hun, unfortunately

A successful Rangers team will keep the wolf from his door. The minute they hit the skids he’ll be dropped like a turd. I hope we hibbys remember to keep the barriers up when he tries to crawl back as a long lost one of us. He’s toast as a Hibby.

[Hibernia&Alba]

He supports Hibs AND Rangers :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

Does he actually say this?

[Iggy Pope]

Other than Rangers TV for some home games
Good to see he’s still got his Academy going, though wonder if he still has the time to do it

It was curious listening to him pundit that last game at Ibrox, falling over himself to be the Rangers man while at the same time telling us what a great club Hibs are and how much he loves Ryan Porteous. Seriously mixed up kid. If the Fast Show had been set at Ibrox he’d be Indecisive Dave. Great player though, no question.

Aye, but managing that Madrid team is like having all the cheat codes switched on.

[Tobias Funke]

Got disaster written all over it.

They’ve messed up by leaving it too late, Conte would have been ideal but he’s no longer available. I’d be sounding out Rodgers, not having the best season but a fresh challenge might be what he needs. I think he has taken Leicester as far as he can.

[Irish_Steve]

Man Utd after Zidane apparently…

Phew, means we get to keep JR

[The Modfather]

3 semi finals, a final - losing on penalties (fine margins), second last season and 3rd best win % in Man u’s history. On paper he did a good job in the post Ferguson world of Man U just being one of the pack. In the wider context I think he’s a limited manager at the very top and made them less than the sun of their parts.

A little bit of a flippant point from me but I do think OGS at Man U mirrors the Jack Ross debate in a lot of aspects.

[MWHIBBIES]

That would be a dismal appointment.

Why? He's a very good manager. Turned Madrid from a very good side in a legendary one. 3 CL in a row is an unparalleled achievement.

Zidane likely too big a personality for the spineless board, though. It will be a nice yes man like Poch

[Just_Jimmy]

It'll be a caretaker til end of season then the wrong appointment.

It should be Erik ten haag. They'll blow the bank on Zidane or someone for a year or so then it'll end in tears.

Such a daft appointment although not having Calvert-Lewin has affected them massively. Plus his predecessors spent a fortune on average players and he's left having to pick up the likes of Rondon and Townsend.

[Hibernia&Alba]

He's in deep trouble. Many Evertonians didn't want him from the start; current form makes him very vulnerable. He's had terrible luck with injuries to key players, and the Everton hierarchy seems dysfunctional, but it's always the manager who carries the can. If they lose their next couple of games, I don't think he'll survive.

[MWHIBBIES]

I’m surprised McInnes has gone to Killie. I thought have thought he had enough pedigree to have attracted better offers than a team who are currently sitting 4th in the Scottish Championship. He must desperately want back in the game and to stay in Scotland.

With a bit backing and an astute transfer window, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Killie fight their way up the league. For all that McInnes’s teams played in an unnecessarily cynical way, he’s still a bit of a coup for Kilmarnock.

I think he’ll do just fine for them, and he’s got the whole transfer window to get in better players

I’m pretty convinced he will too - I’m just surprised that it’s come to this for him. He doesn’t get much credit in the bank for getting Killie out of that league - though I’m sure he’s more concerned by actual money in the bank, which is completely fair enough for a guy who’s currently out of work.

When Ross left us I had thought that the next bottom six job that came up would be his - or between him and McInnes. I’m extremely excited about Maloney’s appointment but I’d have been pretty happy had DM been given the job.

Which is all to say: I think it’s a massive coup for Killie - but a pretty big risk for McInnes.

[Stevie Reid]

Not really, Steve Clarke got the Scotland gig on the back of doing well at Killie

He did, but Killie were at least an SPL team at the time, and Clarke also had a pretty illustrious career as an assistant manager to fall back on.

Bigger risk for McInnes than it was for Clarke in terms of reputation IMO.

[JimBHibees]

Given McInnes family stay west of Scotland think he has a few kids it makes sense from a work life balance. Killie still a reasonably big Scottish club and based where they are probably helped this decision. Good appointment for both I think.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Probably lifestyle played a part in McInnes' decision as before Aberdeen he lived in Houston, probably still has his house there and its nice and close to both Kilmarnock and the South side of Glasgow where I think Killie train. Still a decent gig in Scottish football, maybe the best if you exclude the larger city clubs.

This could be an opportunity for a good young British manager to come in and make a name for himself.

Any candidates that come to mind ?
Even if there are, they won't get the required time. The club appears to be in a right mess from top to bottom.

[jgl07]

Everton should try and get Potter from Brighton.
Whoever they get will need time but the fans are the most intolerant in the league. Two defeats and the knives are out.
Everton are a poisoned challis which few decent managers will touch with a barge pole.

I like Everton as a club but their current ownership model is an absolute disaster. Eight managers (including two caretakers) since 2016 says it all.

Managers have either been sacked or have walked.

Strange interview with everyone's favourite, Kevin Thomson: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60104756.

Confirms that he was interviewed for the Kilmarnock job and that, again, he dreams of being Sevco manager. Strange comment that "The harsh reality is I'm never going to be the Celtic manager, so the top for me would be the Rangers manager".

I think the harsh reality is you're unlikely to be either, Kev. But it's a slightly curious comment.

TBH Hibs barely got a mention, on the other hand he was quite happy to talk about Rangers and how that's the biggest job. I did agree with what he was saying about Scott Brown though. I'd like to see Brown as Hibs manager someday, but that's just my opinion.

I honestly don’t know what goes through his head when he does these interviews.

He does appear to be employed by the most understanding club in the world, its one thing to be approached by a bigger club when your in a job....its another to be actively touting yourself. Comments like these also mean it is very unlikely he could ever manage Hibs or Aberdeen as well, the kind of clubs that would provide the type of spring board that could lead to an appointment like Rangers. Can't imagine too many clubs being overly interested if they think he will be looking for the next step after being in the door for 5 mins.
Kelty are going well this season and the St Johnstone score certainly will have given them a bit more press, even so not too many will be looking at the 4th tier of Scottish football for their next managerial appointment.

Just checked, he’s 74. He doesn’t need that ‘stress’ and pay off surely. I’d 100% understand a younger manager cracking on, but not someone who should’ve retired yonks ago.

If other clubs are looking at him, they will be thinking ‘can he make the step up?’

One thing he could do is behave like a top manager, show that he’s got the nous for it. And an important part of that is not talking about managing other clubs.

Or perhaps the owner feels it’s important to get a new manager in and settle himself in over the next few months before pre season to have a better chance next season? They aren’t going to get promoted this season but I doubt they will get relegated either. It’s fair enough if they have aspirations of going to the Premier League and want to replace the manager who has them sitting 19th in the Championship.
