Liam fox

[at last 61]

Don’t know much about him but I hope he’s a moaning faced bar steward, we desperately need 1:flag::flag:

[Since452]

What's this? We've signed him?

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Tory MP down Somerset way, from East Kilbride originally. Totally betrayed his roots and becacame a darling of the Conservative right.

[superfurryhibby]

A dyed in the wool Jambo who happens to be Ross's pal. Inspired timing and choice.

[BlackSheep]

Fox being hired was news last week… so the timing isn’t at all bad.

He left Livi as the No. 2 so not the worst addition to the back room staff.

That’s the most random and surprising bit of trivia, I’ve heard for a long time. :shocked:

Its how good he is at his job not what team he supports that matters

Fair enough, but, the last time we had a Hearts stalwart in our coaching staff, “I’ve been places, Brown,” we didn’t fare too well.

Paranoia incoming in 3, 2, 1 ………..

[Heisenberg]

Did someone not post on here last week that he fell out quite badly with Hearts/Neilson when he was there? I may be remembering wrong right enough.

[JimBHibees]

Agree doesn't matter in the slightest.

Aye, helps if you’re a pal of the manager too though.

Fox out. Don’t want him at Hibs.

For fox sake !

Out foxed yet again.........oh wait, that's for the Jack Ross thread.

Maybe he gave the team talk on Saturday :dunno:

[Latapy1911]

Was in my class at School and played with him in the footy team, He's a nice guy, football has always been his life, so he has plenty experience, hope it works out for him.

He had a spell as Manager with Cowdenbeath, cannae mind how it went though.

Disastrously.

Is he a terrible coach?

I don’t know anything about Fox but there does seem to be a pattern developing regarding JR and employing his pals

[JimBHibees]

Sounds personal

[JimBHibees]

Makes sense to employ people he trusts.

[Vault Boy]

Makes sense to employ people he trusts.

I genuinely don't think I could name a manager that doesn't hire staff they know/have previously worked or played with.

[SaulGoodman]

I don’t know anything about Fox but there does seem to be a pattern developing regarding JR and employing his pals

Like any manager ever.

[Callum_62]

Lol, this thread

A manager employing someone he apparently knows

What is Ron Gordon doing?

He should be employing Derek Adams into the staff with immediate effect

True, but surely Stephen Mcginn is an example of it not always working

[Callum_62]

True, but surely Stephen Mcginn is an example of it not always workingDepends - what did he do behind the scenes? Maybe that worked?

And even if it didn't, so what?

Never employee any one he knows again?

Bring back Derek Adams?

Couldn’t have worked that well if we let him go?

[Brightside]

Like almost every manager in history.

[Peevemor]

Couldn’t have worked that well if we let him go?McGinn wanted to play more. Ross reluctantly let him go on loan.

[Stuart93]

Like almost every manager in history.

But weren’t we meant to have a set up where if the head coach left there wouldn’t be a need for massive upheaval on the back of it?

[Peevemor]

Like almost every manager in history.Yeah, but sack him for it anyway!

[Stuart93]

Yeah, but sack him for it anyway!

I’m not sure anyone’s said anything about sacking him? At all? I’ve actually said on a few threads now I don’t want JR sacked.

I didn’t think it would be long until you turned up. Very boring, you seem to be everywhere.

[Brightside]

Eh? We have been going along with a minimal team. He’s adding to it now. It’s totally normal and positive.

[CapitalGreen]

Jesus wept

[FitbaFolkKen]

Maybe Jack has been allowed to expand the back room team now it looks like we will have fans back at the games next year? Wish him the best of luck and hope he helps push us a little further.

Anyway, I couldn't help but react to more daft criticism.

It's nothing to do with defending Jack Ross or Hibs, but the moaning for moaning's sake is dragging this place right down.

Cause you constantly chasing any person with a view that’s the opposite of your own is certainly bringing the place up right enough.

Come on here almost daily to see you arguing with at least one other poster.

I’ll leave it there though. Looking back on my initial post, it was a needless comment and probably as far from the truth as possible.

[Peevemor]

You've spattered your negativity over the boards for the past couple of days.I think I'm entitled to post what I think too am I not?

Oh the banter.

[ahibby]

It's a difficult balancing act between upheaval and giving the manager the tools he asks for. Managers, in general, look for support from directors to provide them with the resources they ask for/need, if they don't get that then it's ammunition should things go wrong. If they do get that and things go wrong then they have to take it on the chin. I am sure we all know that so apologies if coming over as patronising, just wanted to document that point on here as think it's relevant.

Where's the news about the Liam Fox thing, I can't find it?

[Is It On....]

Dated Natalie Ubruglia of Neighbours fame - must have been an extended momentary lapse of reason on her part there...

Always a little torn when I hear that....but this is how I feel...

See Fox is now getting spoken about with Dundee Utd, isn’t he committed to us?

Apparently Hibs tweeted that they'd be announcing some good news at 2.00pm and then announced some good news at 2.00pm.

Seems to have annoyed a few people.

Ex-Hearts first team coach Liam Fox is rumoured to be coming in as assistant manager at Tannadice. The 37-year-old spent 10 months as head coach of Cowdenbeath, but left the Blue Brazil languishing at the bottom of League 2 in March 2017 | #DUFC https://t.co/Nd8C4Q191Y

Do they even have a manager yet? Seems odd

the chat seems to be if Courts is appointed Fox might be the no 2. I thought fox was a done deal for us too.

Looks like he’s the new Dundee Utd assistant manager.

Seems a very odd couple of appointments

[superfurryhibby]

Happy that Fox isn't coming. We've been there before with a dyed in the wool Jambo joining our coaching team and that didn't go too good. He can get tae Fox

It isn't really all that laughable, if you bring people in you know and they are not Hibs class then it's fine to have a pop. If a manager brings in Championship level brains or skills you end up with a Championship team. I'm not saying that's what's happening with JR just that it's a general rule. So far JR has done well even though he's brought in players from teams below Hibs in the league. I haven't heard good things about Liam Fox but have no idea whether he'd improve us or not. At the end of the day JR will be judged on how Hibs do/perform and so if Liam Fox improves us nothing should be said, otherwise the criticism of bringing in cronies will have weight.

Happy he’s not coming - think we can do better and just goes to show he wasn’t bothered if he’s already taken another opportunity.

What managers doesn't bring in his "cronies"?

All managers do it so why have a poop at Jack Ross specifically? And given that we'll never know the day to day workings of who does exactly what, we'll never know what member of the coaching staff is good or bad.

Just going by his record should preclude him. However is moot now when he has gone to Dundee.

Calderwood taking on Adams is the only one I can think of.....

That's half the battle on here. I only pop on and off the forum now as generally it's full of poison, and items that have heehaw to do with Hibernian FC.
Not in the least bit interested in half the guff that's repeatedly written on here.
But occasionally there's some sensible stuff too tbf
