I sit fairly close to the away dug out at ER and had the pleasure of Lennon doing that in front of me when he was manager of Celtic.....while he also strutted around in his tracksuit like a demented chicken.

[keep the faith]

I will be even more gobsmacked if we hire Kevin Thompson who is also mentioned in article.

Who writes such rubbish,

To be honest I think KT has what it takes to be a terrific manager. It's only his reaction to us winning the semi that has put me off.

[Magpie]

It's really hard to call, lost of supporters wanted Jack Ross to stay. I'd imagine the majority would be happy with Lennon Back, given the circumstances.

Lennon’s tenure was probably up there as my favourite times being a Hibs fan. I would certainly back him if he was to come back. I just think the appointment would potentially split the fan base and perhaps the dressing room if rumours of players not liking him were actually true?

It would be an odd appointment re-hiring a manager we previously suspended and let go. However, a new chairman and CEO, we’ll see.

I don't want to give Thomson the opportunity to walk over the M8 on broken glass a second time when the Rangers job comes up.

In the end, Jack's downfall was that he could only win big games.

I would put a clause in his contract from day one about that. As I say, I think he will be a top manager but his sour face when we got into a national cup final sickened me.

[Smartie]

I don't want to give Thomson the opportunity to walk over the M8 on broken glass a second time when the Rangers job comes up.

That would actually be the best possible outcome if he joined us, as he’d never get offered the job there without being a resounding success for us.

Sickening as that may seem.

[Betty Boop]

According to the Daily Record Robbie Fowler is interested in the job.

[BS44]

You get rid of a manager when you don't have any faith in him getting results. You don't decide you want to fire him, but hold off because there's a cup final. He's sacked because of the ***** results, leaving him in the job for the final would be ludicrous.

You change manager when there is an opportunity to benefit the club, not on your gut feel.

Who said anything about gut feel?

If it benefits the club to remove a manager who is going through a run of 1 win in 9 league games, then that's what you should do.

When we appointed Jack Ross, I wasn't keen on it. I was happy to admit I was wrong when he had a very good first season. We started this season well too, but that changed. We've been horrendous for ages now, results, quality of football, entertainment, all pish.

The benefit is we no longer have a manager in place who's getting nothing out the squad.

A caretaker, David Gray, will take over and get an opportunity to get something out of them until a new permanent manager is found.

Brilliant analogy :greengrin

[lord bunberry]

What were the signs we were improving? The semi final seems like an anomaly, and the subsequent games were all pretty terrible, we did ok against Motherwell but still ended up not winning, which sort of sums it up, then the game against livi was relegation material from the players.

We lost something like 6 games on the bounce. We then beat rangers and st Johnston and drew with Motherwell. We put in a decent performance against rangers and most agreed we deserved a draw. The 2 losses were shocking but overall there was improvement.

[Tambo]

Would assume if Hibs want someone in for the final you would at least want him a few days to meet the players.

8th when he left, currently 7th.

Just like his great premiership year was 4th vs 3rd last year.

He was a bit mental and we played some great stuff for a few months but it was pretty dire at times - the championship season was dull. So many draws - he was good at telling everyone he’s a winner or picking a fight with another manager to distract from a disappointing result though.

I’d much prefer a manager who thinks before he acts and is calm under pressure but appreciate a lot of folk like a mental case waving their arms about and shouting drivel.

We definitely picked up after the international break. To say otherwise is simply denying the facts.

I suppose it all turns on your view of the Livi game - another non-performance which Hibs seem to turn in from time to time under any manager, or evidence that we were slipping back towards the poor performances in October?

I always felt, with JR, those Livingston type performances were just around the corner. They happened a number of times last season but he always managed to start picking up points again fairly quickly and stop it becoming a big issue. When you start chucking them in when your results are bad, it’s no a good combination.

:agree: My response was in reference to the timing of his dismissal, he should’ve been kept on until the winter break if they were determined to sack him. Maybe they were worried he might win the cup.

Definitely did the sem final Rangers was the best game of his tenure at Hibs. Wasnt helped with the number of games back to back and out of the games were better team v Ross county lost an appalling goal and lost the plot. St Johnstone we were good. Rangers competed well deserved a point. Motherwell started poor lucky not to be punished then got better. Livi started ok typically lost an appalling goal then think panicky subs at half time made us much weaker and again poor discipline very poor. I think in a balanced analysis he was harshly treated not to have got more time given the general performance over recent weeks. Could understand it if someone immediately coming in for that not to be the case seems a little odd to me.

[B.H.F.C]

Ross, until this recent run, had an absolutely exceptional record against the lesser sides in the league.

Generally, yes.. But we had an ability to throw in that proper shocker of a performance. I remember doing the same at Livingston pre covid a few days after we beat Hearts. Then against Hearts themselves a couple of months later. Last season we did it against Ross County, Livingston, Motherwell, Aberdeen, St Johnstone multiple times off the top of my head. This season we’ve seen it against Dundee Utd, Aberdeen and Livingston. I know we’re not going to win all the time but too many of those games where we just chucked in an absolute disaster of a performance.

If he had a better record against our main competitors (Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen) he would still be here I think.

5 wins from 26 games against those teams combined. 1 win from 15 against the Old Firm and we lost more times than we won against Aberdeen and Hearts.

The problem for me was the football under Ross had become so predictable, sideways, backwards, sideways long ball to Boyle and repeat. Looking at his Sunderland time it's uncanny how close it followed that Hibs, down to losing cup finals and drawing too many winnable games.

Stephen Bradley anyone? - back to back titles with Shamrock Rovers ending Dundalk’s dominance, plus won them the FAI cup in 2019 which they hadn’t done since 1987. In 2020, they won a truncated league season of 18 games undefeated with 15 wins and 3 draws.

Over the last 2 league seasons they have averaged:

1.91 goals scored

I think you can get away with that kind of thing when you’re a care taker manager. When you’ve got the permanent job you need to be able to take a longer term approach.

Ross, until this recent run, had an absolutely exceptional record against the lesser sides in the league.

Worked in reverse with St Johnstone I suppose, they regularly beat us last season but this season we've got the better of them. Never mind that in one of the games they had a man sent off and in the other we got a controversial penalty. But we still beat them. I suppose. Depends what you mean by lesser I guess.

Remember he brought on the young player Moise Kean on 70 mins then subbed him just before full time !! This was a £27 million pound player !

He then subbed another sub the week after !

I'm sure he won every game while caretaker?

Sorry, Greencastle was right, he won the first match against Chelsea 3-1, after losing four of the last five games and then the draw at Old Trafford & against Arsenal and the penalties defeat against Leicester. Evertonians loved him and he really lifted the spirits, after the dismal season Everton fans enthusiasm during that spell made it seem, from memory, that they had won the games.

[Greencore]

Surprised we haven't been linked with Scot Gemmill yet.

[04Sauzee]

Managed 3 league games winning 1 and drawing 2, he managed 1 game in the league cup and winning that game.

No idea of the opposition in any of the games though?

[GreenCastle]

Ferguson has managed 4 games - beat Chelsea and drew with Arsenal and Man U - lost on pens to Leicester in the league cup.

McInnes has managed 618 games.

Not sure how many Ferguson has been in the beach as assistant.

Similar ages - not sure if they played in same Rangers team?

Alex Neil 10 years younger btw.

[PPZPOL]

Pretty sure one was ManU at OT, they drew and he was on the pitch giving it large. Certainly showed some passion, it was bordering on a fan going radge after a game mind but still funny. Think he was interviewed on pitch as well.

[Cat Stanton]

If it’s McInnes then the wee orange Bassa will get my backing just like anyone else for that matter.

I do hope you are referring to his fake tan colour and that this isn't Celtc-esque crap patter..?

[Unseen work]

In two minds over Ferguson.

One half thinks he’d be brilliant and the other a complete disaster.

[davhibby]

Saw Tam McManus was talking him up earlier. Surely no chance.

My thoughts as well. He’s the only name mentioned so far that I’d be genuinely excited about. If people are wanting an exciting manager that would get fans back in the stadium he’d be ideal. Sadly I don’t see him thinking we’d be a good option but nobody else mentioned so far comes close in stature or managerial record

[MWHIBBIES]

Someone’s tried to tell me that Malky Mackay is getting the job.

I’m not suggesting that’s correct but I’ve not seen his name even mentioned on here. Have I missed anything?

No chance. Awful manager and person. Would see a massive backlash.

[Scorrie]

No news down here of Ferguson leaving. Impossible to have kept that quiet in a city like this. There’s a “strategic review” taking place at Everton right enough but more likely to see Rafa get his jotters in would have thought!

[blackpoolhibs]

I dont see Duncan Ferguson working in Scotland, he has real hatred for the authorities up there.

I think that management style has had its day and I wouldn't want him anywhere near our team. I'll admit that's based on my limited knowledge of him and the bits I've seen and heard. Maybe he's a thinker but shouting, screaming, playing the hardman and generally bullying players doesn't work (at least not for long) in 2021.

I always thought Collins was the right man at the wrong time. I’d have loved to know how his outlook and professionalism would have worked at Hibs post Petrie and the set up and modernisation we have today.

I think his time as a manager has been and gone. Whether he’d be interested or not I don’t know but think there’s an ideal role for him somewhere at the club. Probably somewhere at East Mains or with the youth setup. Not replacing Mathie and responsible for our transfers though 😀

[Steve88]

https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/an-update-from-our-ceo-1

Important Ben got this statement right, pass marks from me.

He indirectly pushes back on the negative lazy journalism we've seen directed at Hibs over the past few days.

"As a club you must continuously plan for the future and have a clear plan in-place for every eventuality due to the fast-moving and ever-changing nature of the sport. This has allowed us to stay in control of this rigorous process... We are coming to a conclusion,."

Also, appeals to the fan's regarding the type of manager we're looking to hire: " We want to acquire a manager who has an attacking mentality and is progressive and hungry for the opportunity to build something special here at a big club in Hibs"

[keep the faith]

Little footnote to the KT thing.

JC had the wrong assistant. A more experienced manager could have guided him better. He was too set is his ways. An example being sending the sub GK to warm up because Makalamby kicked from hand despot it being clear (especially the opposition who had sussed the tactic) there was no one to throw to.

A lack of flexibility contributed to him losing the dressing room.

He's winning leagues in Norway and has them playing Celtic in the next round in Europe, his team scudded Roma 6-1, as much as I'd like it I think it's more than highly unlikely.

I always thought Collins was more suited to a role like Academy Director - he would get to work with developing players at the very start of their apprenticeship and imbue them with his professional values re training and lifestyle more readily than seasoned pros. He would also be able to set a template on skills development throughout the age groups that would develop players who could control and pass the ball properly.

I don’t know why Scotland don’t utilise Collins. Well I do, there’s no genuine appetite for change. His sportsound interview a while ago was a great listen with him talking about his experiences at Monaco and it being an eye opener in terms of culture and professionalism. He was also in the crowd at the book festival at Henry McLeish’s talk about his Scottish football review. He made lots of good points, particularly about coaches continuing to be assessed once they are qualified and continuing to ensure that they are teaching the right things in the correct ways.

That caught my attention too. It is less than a week ago Ross was sacked and to be reaching a conclusion seems very quick almost like there was someone in mind. It is a fairly typical statement though with a couple of crowd pleasers but it doesn't really say too much. I'd love some detail about the strategies and structures etc and if they are in place now, likely to be here soon or for the future and how distant is that. LD gave enough detail that I could see what was trying to be achieved and how. Early days but this statement says lots of positive things but I am still unaware of what is needed and will be put in place to make it all come together. Saying all that at least we know that they realise that entertainment is part of the supporters' wish list, hopefully we get a manager that not only wants to play like that but can, with a few additions, get our squad playing that way. If I was interviewing candidates I would want to know about their philosophy but also how they saw the current squad fit into that. Most of them are on longer contracts than a managers typical tenure so it is important a new man can take us forward with these players or talk about changes required and how they might take place.

[Skol]

That reads to me like someone will be announced between Dundee game and final maybe wrong. Good statement think it was necessary allied to who won't be getting it via EEN.

I am a bit concerned about this given the next game is a cup final as its a big ask for a new man to identify his best team and approach in such a short time. If we are to appoint someone, they need to be in the stand tonight and start tomorrow.

Caldwell I have heard a lot, and came across to me like Colin Calderwood on a bad day...not exactly motivational though maybe that isn't as important in an assistant role.

[Vault Boy]

Are Henry and Maloney both assistant managers at Belgium?

[GreenCastle]

No danger he’d do both. First bad run of results he’d be accused of spending too much time on his other job. Managing hibs is a full time job.

Did Lennon not head across to a France Euros as a pundit while still Hibs manager ? Maybe linked to the Jason Cummings meeting Shearer and Ferdinand - Lennon convincing him to stay at Hibs a bit longer.

Apart from pleasing those in our support with Celtic sympathies I’m not sure what Maloney has done to warrant becoming our next manager.

[Hermit Crab]

But, but, but Caldwell pisheed all over us in his last 3 months with us!


He's a rat. Shafted us.

[JimBHibees]

Think he comes across as a fanny in interview to be honest.

Might be brilliant though so I’ll stay open minded, just wouldn’t be close to being my first choice.

Think he did an open goal interview thought he seemed intelligent and decent guy. Big job for him hope he gets support from players and fans alike. Hope he brings in his own staff also. Think he will get us playing really decent stuff.

Ffs give him a chance. Personally had more respect for him in being up front about moving than other Hibs supporting players who did the same but more underhand way. He did what anybody would have done in his position.

[JimBHibees]

Really.

I don't want that prick Caldwell anywhere near my club!

We you saying that when he scored against us at ER and gave the East Terracing loyal a GIRUY goal celebration?? Not for me.

Caldwell can also GTF

Not really the point but no I wasn't.

Just watching an interview with Maloney on PLZ (2020) there and interestingly he said he couldn't see himself leaving Belgium before his contract ends (after the World Cup).

"I absolutely don't see myself breaking that contract whatsoever"

That was a long time ago, you cannae keep hold of grudges that long, you’ll make yourself ill man!

I’m not really arsed about Caldwell, what I do like is that he seems to have a very contrasting personality to Maloney. Can see him being the shouter and baller, Maloney the calmer more methodical of the two.

Worked well with Ross and Potter so why not these two 😂 😉

Cheers, I’ll go and listen to that the now.

[HendoDelivered]

Unsure what to make of this tbh

Yep good cop bad cop.

Good guy, ****. [emoji2]

Apart from pleasing those in our support with Celtic sympathies I’m not sure what Maloney has done to warrant becoming our next manager.

Probably the fact that he’s coached at a really good level, on the back of a very good playing career.

Some of our more successful managers haven’t come with any managerial experience (Mowbray, Collins, Stubbs off the top of my head).

Intrigued rather than convinced by it though.

[Since90+2]

Don't get the comparisons with Maloney and Cathro. Maloney night not be a shouty type but it doesn't mean he's soft.

He also played at the highest level in this country, internationally and in the Champions League whereas I doubt Cathro would have got a game for Edina Hibs.
