Next Hibs Manager

[Northernhibee]

I’m perplexed by the weirdos on here threatening to not renew based on who the manager is. What are you going to do instead?

Odd balls.

Threatening to buy a Hibs season ticket if they don’t like the movie at their local cinema.

[Libby Hibby]

I’m not renewing for next season if the factors don’t cut the common grounds next week

[stevie-bee]

There’s lots of other things I’ll be able to fill my time with should Mackay get the job and I’ll get way more enjoyment out them than I would going along to support that piece of ****.

I don't understand why most are against mackay getting the job, he send a few funny text to somebody who was meant to be his mate,

I bet must people who are against him get texts like that on WhatsApp and laugh at them , it doesn't mean you are racist or sexist ,

He's a **** manager as well, don't forget that. Even Maloney beat him.

A few ‘funny text’. Racist and bigoted, yes , funny no.

Sorry dude but if you’re sending racist texts then you are, in fact, a racist.

I disagree with your statement because context is important. Stupidity, ignorance, lack of education, upbringing, experience and location has to be taken into account before we brand someone either a bigot or racist. We are all too quick to judge without knowing the circumstances surrounding the instance. Walk a mile in my moccasins please :D Redemption anyone?

Those are all excuses for being racist, just admit the racism address it and learn from it, become a better person.

They are not excuses, they are circumstances but I do agree with the admission aspect of your statement as that is where redemption comes from. Is Malky MacKay same as Tommy Robinson?

I’ve no idea what anybodys on about on this thread any more. Much easier to keep up when we were just arguing about Roy Keane.

Hopefully the Sunday papers throw up a new name or two to get the thread back on track.

[Since452]

Only a week to find out. I'm glad the club have had a bit of breathing space for this. So important that they get the right person in.

[IberianHibernian]

There are obviously lots of possible new managers for us so no need to appoint Mackay or McInnes which would just bring other problems . I think the board were right to look for an alternative to Ross but the timing was terrible . I think the appointment of Maloney was a good one at the wrong time and even then getting rid of him was a rushed decision so now we`re in a situation where RG may feel forced to take someone like Mackay or McInnes who will understandably be rejected by a lot of supporters though I`m still hoping we`ll wait a bit and find someone who will improve the team without alienating the support and attracting bad publicity . No rumours of Scandinavian managers for example .

[bingo70]

I agree.

I wonder if there’s any relevance to the fact seasons will be finishing now. If a manager was doing well at a club they’d want to see it out. I have a feeling we might go for somebody currently in a role. Don’t know who though.

McInnes would be my choice. Done a terrific job at Aberdeen and appears to be doing well at Killie. Club says it wants an experienced manger and he fits the bill. And I bet he would replace our centre mids first chance he got.

Wait till other leagues are finished . See who`s available and still interested despite two highly questionable sackings in last 6 months . Being realistic , we`re not looking for a manager for the next four years . If we find one who gets best out of players and gets us entertained and we get less injuries than this season we`ll be challenging for 4th at least . Hopefully this time next year we`ll be looking forward to Europe and a cup final after an entertaining season whether we`re looking for a new manager again or not .

Hell mend anyone who makes a mistake eh? 3 texts out of 6,000 checked were very evidently racist, no denying that, but it hardly evidences a systematic pattern of racist behaviour, for goodness sake the guy has managed black players for years, very successfully by the look it, I’m surprised they’ve all not downed tools or refused to work for someone like him.

I’ve been going to the football for 30 plus years, like I’m sure many on here, I look back in horror at some of the filth that came out of my mouth in days gone by, suppose we should be branded racist’s and homophonic for the remainder of our days according to your standards? The guy came out and sincerely apologised, he was put under investigation, he’s obviously missed out on other jobs in football, from what I can see he’s done his best to right his wrongs.

Why wait? For someone to be sacked for being pish? Out with our own league, all the leagues we could get a manager from are done.

Valuable contribution👏🥱

[IberianHibernian]

Why wait? For someone to be sacked for being pish? Out with our own league, all the leagues we could get a manager from are done.Our next manager will have been sacked by at least one club ( for " being pish " as you put it or because club directors didn`t have patience like ours with Maloney or because of long term problems ) or will have little or no managerial experience . Lots of leagues to finish in next 2 months in Europe plus leagues in Ireland and Scandinavia which have just started . Or what about Clarke after Scotland game on 1st June or other international managers ?

Maloney was sacked for being as pish than the likes of Butcher and Calderwood, nothing to do with patience.

Not got a problem with taking a manager that has been sacked at some point.

We don’t have loads of time to wait though. Pre season will start I just over a month. We need to get this sorted in the next couple of weeks.

I take it you’re not being serious when you mention Clarke btw.

I agree with you on the 'when are folk allowed to live in the present and not their past'. I cannot stand gossips and grasses. The guy's apologised and tried to get on with his life and employment.

I take it you’re not being serious when you mention Clarke btw.As with any managerial appointment , time we take will depend on who is available . If we want a quick appointment we`ll offer job to managers who are from clubs which pay much less than us or to managers who have had other problems which limit the number of offers they`ll get from other clubs . If we`re prepared to wait a while to see who is available after seasons end in most of Europe without forgetting about summer league managers in Ireland etc we`ll have more options . We have SDG and Eddie May who have already managed us for short periods and Steve Kean who has far more managerial experience than many of the possible candidates to cover .

[B.H.F.C]

Aye I know he is going to take the team until the end of the season (which is only a week away). Nothing to stop us appointing someone this week or the following week though. Need to get it sorted with how soon next season follows on from this one. My concern is we go to the other end of the scale wher we talk to that many folk that we don’t actually know what we want.

We don’t need folk to cover. We need leadership and someone in to start rebuilding us. And to encourage folk to buy season tickets.

We don’t have loads of time to waste with how quick the season comes round. Whoever comes in has a big rebuild so we can’t **** about, waiting and waiting.

Alternative is to offer job to managers who won`t get many offers if any from other clubs of our size cause of past record or non managerial problems like Mackay . Crazy to think we sacked Maloney at split but we just have to hope we find someone to do a decent job for next season ( forget long term managers ) while helping long term plans .

We’re reported be holding final interviews this week. All I’m hoping for is that we conclude that quickly.

I don’t think we’re waiting on anyone becoming available. Anyone we want will be available now.

Welcome aboard Derek McInnes. He works his butt off and is utterly focussed on achieving the best that he can. Ambitious, very hard working and knowledgeable of the Scottish football game. Right man at the right time for Hibernian.

Could just be an entirely unconnected coincidence, but the Sydney based outgoing Socceroos manager, Graham Arnold, was in Scotland the week Hibs were doing interviews.

Don't suggest for a minute I'd like him in the job, but I don't reckon either that he traveled half way round the world just to watch the Celtic v Hearts game.

A mistake? Did his fingers just accidentally compose that message? There was no mitigating factors that lead to him saying it. These were his quite clearly deep rooted views on black people, Asian people, women and Jewish people. There was numerous comments, not just one. This was no mistake.

I’m sure most racists don’t say racist things the majority of the time, I can’t say i find the fact his other 5997 texts weren’t racist as impressive as you seem to.

Mackay managed and even signed black players before he made his racist comments so the fact he has signed or managed some since doesn’t prove he’s not a racist.

If what you said was completely unprovoked, deep rooted racist/bigoted/sexist comments then yes, I’d say you should be. Mackays comments weren’t some daft slip of the tongue in the heat of the moment.

The guy is a racist piece of **** and his apology only came about because he got caught. **** him.

While racism is unacceptable at any age the additional and most damming factor for me was that Mackay was a middle-aged man when he made these comments, one who knew he was the public face of his club and was in a position of responsibility.

To be caught having made multiple comments shows this was no one-off uncharacteristic mistake. We can surely do better than him both morally and ability wise.

I agree totally that racism, homophobia and sexism in all its forms is simply unacceptable.
I’ve been reading the comments about Mackay and as someone who believes in forgiveness and that people can change for the better, maybe the hate or distaste being expressed does not allow for that change.

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. They must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” Mandela

Mandela believed that forgiveness was the most powerful weapon, it frees the soul. So wihilst it’s not our place to forgive Mackay, we could cut him some slack and believe that he has paid for his comments and addressed his beliefs.
People can and do change, my hope is that he has and as such if he’s the right man for the job, we give him the benefit of the doubt.

Thankfully better men/women than you or I have been able to forgive far more horrendous behaviour than, what I agree are, inexcusable language in his texts. We live in a pretty sad world where an individual, for the rest of their lives, can be branded numerous things based on past behaviour, makes you wonder why anyone would even bother trying to improve themselves or learn from past bad judgements.

He’s been forgiven and given another chance at Ross County, it’s not like he’s been banished from society to unemployment and homelessness.

I just don’t want him anywhere near my club because he’s an absolute racist, bigoted welt. He can have his second chance elsewhere.

My god these comments are something else .
You support hibs not a manager.
You get behind a manager because he is involved with hibs .
Anyway I doubt any of us will second guess the next manager.

You’ll know much more about him than me but on paper he’s someone I quite fancied for the job.

From looking at Wikipedia, it look like his record in club football is decent?

His resume would look decent on paper.

Assistant to Guus Hiddink at a World Cup, couple of Oz championships and national team coach, and experience as a player in Europe.

He’s no Ange though, and I think we could do better.

I’m confident he would have got an interview as he has had pretty good relations with Hibs….it was him who first selected Martin Boyle for the Socceroos.

[blackpoolhibs]

I’m perplexed by the weirdos on here threatening to not renew based on who the manager is. What are you going to do instead?

Odd balls.

If it's McInnes, i'm not buying a season ticket ever again, i'm shaving my head and i'm going to call myself Shirley.

On the otherhand, if we bring back Jack...........

[Turkish Green]

We will get a manager, no doubt, but i am worried that it has to be someone that is known to RG. With a current track record of hire & fire I expect many experienced managers will stay away despite the rubbish being spouted by the media and bookies.

Look at Watford, its owner hasn't a clue and appointing Roy Hodgson was idiotic, you can see he cannot keep awake for the whole 90 min.

Appointing an experience manager with Scottish football knowledge is a must and as important is to back him with funds to bring in experienced players, not young boys with potential.


Did anyone read about the Scunthorpe team beaten 7-0 by Bristol Rovers yesterday. Only 3 players over 20 and 8 teenagers. Surely the FA will charge them with bringing game into disrepute. That is how things can go hopelessly wrong with a club.

If Malky did happen to get the job and was proving to be successful, then you can bet that attendances would increase dramatically and the ever so perfect "never be back" squad will not be missed.

Aye, that’s what it is. You might have your own bigoted, racist skeletons but that doesn’t mean everybody else does.

Also, why do people keep referring back to people having laughed at a joke? Malky Mackay wasn’t the person laughing, he was the person actually saying it. And none of it was a joke.

It’s a terrible comparison to someone who is spouting deep rooted racist, bigoted, sexist bile whilst fulfilling the same role our club would be employing him in.

[NC1875]

Aberdeen apparently wanted to speak to him before appointing Goodwin and he also said no to them.

So everyone can calm down.

You are at it. In his caretaker spells he’s shown that he can’t change a thing. We need major upheaval.

The league cup final was one thing but yesterday was a whole new level of showing he is completely out of his depth for now.

So you play the same formation as Maloney was vilified for? Incorrectly imo but that’s been and done.

The personnel can easily be played in a different manner.

Can’t have one rule for Maloney and other for Gray.

Gray has failed to galvanise a squad with very little impact. It’s turgid. The effort should have been ramped up, also why revert to one up top?

We need a manager who actually wants the job. DG has no interest in taking the job on a permanent. He also has zero experience as manager and would be a huge gamble which would end up in him probably being sacked.

[SeanWilson]

We were as poor yesterday as we’ve been all season (and I’d hasten to say in many years). It would also be absolutely bonkers for David gray to even think about managing hibs at this stage. He could quite easily ruin his career before it’s started in management at this club.

[andrew70]

I don’t want a quick fix but from the League Cup final to now he’s not imprinted himself on the job.

He’s a coach at best, I’d go as far to say the club are using his high standing with the support to deflect from the job that needs done.

He’s being used as cannon fodder but even those up against it have it within them to change it up and get a reaction.

Poor from all involved.

[CentreLine]

He was in his 40s. Any idea that he has suddenly learned his comments were wrong is total poppycock.

If he doesn't want the job fair enough but given the time he has been at the club does he not deserve to be considered or do Hibs have some masterplan to bring in a high profile manager, giving him a substantial amount of money to spend on players and therefore making us a stick on to be the best of the rest.

No he doesn’t. His performance over his caretaker spells has been abysmal. In terms of improving and progressing the team. He needs to go cut his teeth elsewhere but thankfully I think the board will do the right thing this time around.

Since he became a coach we have had two managers sacked in the same season. If it wasn’t for sentimental reasons there would be calls for him to be booted also. We can’t just hide from what’s going on, perhaps an ambassador role and starting with coaching the younger lads would be more suitable.

Harsh assessment his job was to make sure we didn't get involved in a play off, job done, abysmal in comparison with
Maloney or Jack Ross when covid, a fixture congestion and the loss of key players played a part?
He didn't have a lot to pick from the St Mirren game up to now.

He did adjust it at HT yesterday to be fair to him. Changed to a back four. Unsure why Campbell stayed on the park in the position he did though.

[Key West]

Regardless of who gets the job Hibs went with a streamlined squad,lost their best player and have played without a recognised centre forward for quite a while.
Is McInnes the answer I hope so but I have my doubts,he should have a decent starting point with a full squad plus additions being available.

[andrew70]

Dabrowski

Gray has 4 points out of 9 in the bottom six Maloney would have got that at least.

As I say Gray has been thrown in because of his standing with the support. He’s not willingly tried to improve the team. Much the same sums it up.

Disappointing.

[greenginger]

Did Maloney get any points against these teams ?

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Gray is not the answer here. Bottom line.

[The_Exile]

Gray is not the answer here. Bottom line.

This is it in a nutshell, the days of us being a proving ground or a finishing school for managers has to end. We need someone with a clear vision of how they want to play, this "hibs way" stuff can get in the sea as far as I'm concerned as I just want the team to be picking up 3 points as often as possible in any way we can, we can worry about playing like Brazil later. Most importantly, the new manager must be backed, we've no infrastructure needing funds now so we should be spending whatever money we do have on players and contracts.

If we end up with another "meh" appointment and play like this again next season then I fear we will really lose a big chunk of regular or even semi regular attendees, especially with the cost of living the way it is. It'll be easy for folk to cut the football first if the football is as **** as it's been recently.

[04Sauzee]

Did Maloney get any points against these teams ?

1st game in charge against Aberdeen he got a 1-0 win. No idea about other results.

[Smartie]

It’s hard to fully assess Gray’s performance without knowing what his remit is.

Is it to pick the best team and get as many points on the board as possible? Or is it to blood youngsters and prepare for next season? Play wonderful attacking football and get the fans falling back in love with the game again? Or hold the fort and not make too much noise until someone else comes in?

Yesterday was the first time I’ve been unimpressed by him - didn’t like the starting line up, didn’t love the subs although I can understand why he went with what he did.

Not sure what anyone has seen from him so far to rule him out. Leading this shower of crap is a thankless task. Arguably he can only really worsen his reputation by working with what he has available.

[Mainstandman]

[Franck Stanton]

Hell mend anyone who makes a mistake eh? 3 texts out of 6,000 checked were very evidently racist, no denying that, but it hardly evidences a systematic pattern of racist behaviour, for goodness sake the guy has managed black players for years, very successfully by the look it, I’m surprised they’ve all not downed tools or refused to work for someone like him.

I’ve been going to the football for 30 plus years, like I’m sure many on here, I look back in horror at some of the filth that came out of my mouth in days gone by, suppose we should be branded racist’s and homophonic for the remainder of our days according to your standards? The guy came out and sincerely apologised, he was put under investigation, he’s obviously missed out on other jobs in football, from what I can see he’s done his best to right his wrongs.

Well said.

It’s a bit narrow minded, not to mention tragically defeatist, to be convinced people cannot be educated or change their attitudes.

I absolutely include myself amongst these people but many people enjoyed and looked forward every week to programs in the 1970’s and 80’s

Monty Python, with sketches such as the Bruce sketch
‘Til death do us part
Benny Hill
Love thy neighbour
And many more. Many of us thought they were hilarious.

Then in the late 20th and at the beginning of the 21st century, there was a fully justified and effective push for larger work places to run “diversity” courses. Suddenly many of us had to take a long hard look at our attitudes and behaviours. Personally, and I was in my early 40’s, it had a profound effect and I believe I became a better person for realising that what had been acceptable and “normal” behaviour was not acceptable and actually never had been. I do not claim to be a paragon of virtue but I do try to avoid certain behaviours and to challenge them when I witness them.
The notion that Malcolm Mackay, or any individual, cannot have changed his views is just nonsense.

I doubt they changed over night but I don’t think it’s a stretch to think he though “what the **** is wrong with me, why did I say those things” and then work to become a better person on the back of it.

I know others disagree and that’s fine but for me, the fact show racism the red card organisation are satisfied with his efforts since he said what he did that’s good enough for me. They’re the experts in that field, I’m certainly not. I appreciate there are other issues and it wasn’t just racism but it’s the same principles IMO.

FWIW I wouldn’t want him as manager just now as we need somebody to unite the clans, not create more divides between the club and its fans.

[Unseen work]

Why are you wondering this?

To be honest he was someone I had completely forgotten about until seeing his name mentioned yesterday for his teams win

Managed a couple of teams now and is a big name so was just wondering if he’s someone they’d be interested.

The fact that Show Racism the Red card organisation have come out and said he’s done all he can to show he’s changed and needs to be allowed to earn a living in the game. They even wished him well. I know what he said wasn’t just racist but the same principles apply to all for me.

I’m really no expert on the whole issue and I’m sorry to those bored of me mentioning them, I can see both sides of the argument but I just think those guys really are the experts so I put a lot of weight behind what they say.

(I would rather we never appointed Malky Mackay, I think the last thing we need is someone that will divide our support even more)

[LancsHibs]

A rookie manager who’s had one decent season in English lower league and absolutely no experience of Scottish football. Very risky appointment. No thanks

Ron Gordon is set to step up his search for the new Hibs boss this week with crunch talks planned with the board at Easter Road.

The American owner was in Edinburgh for Saturday’s low key draw with Aberdeen but is ready to ramp up the recruitment process in the next few days.

Derek McInnes has shot to the top of the list of bookies favourites to land the gig on the back of his promotion success with Kilmarnock.

Record Sport understands the former Aberdeen boss will be discussed by Easter Road chiefs – but there has not yet been any formal approach to Rugby Park.

There are also no guarantees McInnes will jump ship after steering Killie back to the top flight and forging a solid working relationship with Ayrshire supremo Billy Bowie.

Ross County’s Malky Mackay is also believed to be under consideration but the Staggies boss is currently focused on the Highlanders making a late push to qualify for Europe.

Gordon has been in talks with contacts in England in recent weeks having been sounded out Man United legend Roy Keane as well as experienced EFL bosses Darren Ferguson and Michael Appleton.

The American is also looking at the foreign market but won’t rule out making an appointment from closer to home as he bids to get Hibs back on track after a woeful campaign that’s cost two managers their jobs.

From the daily record.

Ross County’s Malky Mackay is also believed to be under consideration but the Staggies boss is currently focused on the Highlanders making a late push to qualify for Europe.

Gordon has been in talks with contacts in England in recent weeks having been sounded out Man United legend Roy Keane as well as experienced EFL bosses Darren Ferguson and Michael Appleton.

The American is also looking at the foreign market but won’t rule out making an appointment from closer to home as he bids to get Hibs back on track after a woeful campaign that’s cost two managers their jobs.

From the daily record.

The record aren't really telling us anything other than what's already been said 🤔

Really hope they have someone announced before Sunday with him sitting in the stands. Lots of work to be done .

[bingo70]

A rookie manager who’s had one decent season in English lower league and absolutely no experience of Scottish football. Very risky appointment. No thanks

Was also a manager in Belgium and did a good job there so I wouldn’t say he’s a rookie manager.

If you’re looking for an experienced manager with a knowledge of Scottish football I wouldn’t have thought there would be too many candidates? Mcinnes, Warburton, anybody else?

I wasn't a McInnes fan but the state we are in at the moment I really think we need stability. I think he would give us that then hopefully build on it because at the moment we are in relegation form albeit we are safe for this season. We can't go for someone that doesn't know Scottish football and this league!! Just my thoughts 😎

Don’t have a name or anything but I’ve heard they’ve got their preferred candidate & it’ll be confirmed after the POTY next week.

Supposedly a manager from down south.

[Unseen work]

Is that article trying to suggest we don’t want Appleton?

Odd way they’ve wrote it when they’ve mentioned him, Keane and Ferguson

What's your source? Not a specific name, just a general description.

[GreenCastle]

Paul Clement has only been at Everton as an assistant a short space of time with Lampard so can’t see him leaving that currently.

Appleton seems to be interested but Salford interested also.

The Hibs player of year event starts at 6pm next week so would be a late announcement after that?

Seems we haven’t spoken with Killie or Ross County yet if we wanted DM or MM.

Clements managerial jaunts have been very poor I think. Agree no way he is leaving Everton for us imo

[Caversham Green]

Agreed. Absolutely terrible at Reading, although not as bad as Stam.

[Paulie Walnuts]

They have been.

I’m sure he was linked with us a while ago now and on paper he looked like he’d be out of this world. He doesn’t seem to be up to it as a manager though.

Obviously highly rated as a coach, maybe he's been let down by bad recruitment.

All said I'm not expecting him to rock up as the next Hibs manager.

[CL0762]

This isn’t a source, just something I’ve heard from someone who knows someone etc but they’ve been spot on with stuff before.

With regards to the POTY starting at 6, it would likely be the Monday morning/afternoon.

this could all be a lot of nonsense but just passing on what I’ve heard.

I was holding off on my ST renewal for the 6 month option to see who we bring in but I think I’ll just have to bite the bullet and renew because I think the announcement will come after the deadline expires.

I don't think so. Some managers just click at certain clubs. Didn't work out for him here. I do remember us absolutely battering Aberdeen away but somehow failing to win. Was just his luck. Hold absolutely no grudges against him.

[davhibby]

No. He didn’t understand Scottish football at all and underestimated us as a club

[PPZPOL]

Nope

That centre midfielder boy (whose name I’ve already forgot) that he signed that never touched the ball in that semi against Celtic (or even got close to it) and was so far out his depth would be enough for me to say no also.

Also the game in the Scottish against Celtic at ER still gives me nightmares, played like a pre season friendly.

Uterly spinless that day.

We approached the game as if we didn't have a chance against them despite our recent record at Easter Road against Celtic.

Yep, he came in and did well up until the end of the season. Only had one transfer window and unfortunately the players who came in either needed time to settle in or didn’t settle in at all. I’m sure Bartley has said that Hecky was one of the best managers he’s played under. He probably deserved more time but we don’t do that here.

[PPZPOL]

Josh Vela

That’s him. I’m normally good with names of former players as well. It was a combination of rage and feeling sorry for him that day. Looked lost.

[Brightside]

A long term signing target for the club. Way before Hecky took over. He was rubbish tho - thats for sure. Someone up there said Ross was a shambles. Its fine to say you didnt like some of his football but hes the least shambolic manager we've had in at least 10 years.

I think Hecky and Ross maybe deserved more time because both had proved they could put out regular winning Hibs teams- before they both had bad spells.

As you say there is no patience any more though.

I think there is an alternate timelime where Newell and Doidge started well and Boyle was fit and Hecky skooshed 3rd. He didn't work out, but you simply do not take the lead in so, so many games without doing something right. I actually think Hecky is a good manager who nothing went for.

Agreed - Sheff U were 16th in the Champ when PH took over in November, he's worked wonders there.

Yep was poor can remember McGregor skinning him and he basically gave up running after him. Also managed to deflect a Derby winner in due to him not tracking back as well as you should have. Very poor signing.

[Libby Hibby]

Sometimes people just ‘fit’ with clubs.

Hecky didn’t fit with us.

According to the EEN we're not interested in McInnes.

We conceded 22 goals in the 10 league games prior to Hecky’s departure, I’m not sure that can’t simply be put down to Newell, Boyle and Doidge not being fully available. Over that same period we also conceded another 8 goals in 3 games of the league cup. Defensively that’s on a par with the worst periods under Fenlon and Calderwood and worse than any similar period under Butcher.

Lee Johnson was sacked at Bristol City ( like McInnes). Nicknamed streaky by the fans cos he went on winning runs then huge losing runs. Fans never really took to him.

He was then sacked at Sunderland ( like Ross) following inconsistent results and a 6-0 defeat to Bolton. Fans views were mixed on him.

Can't see that appointment exciting too many people or any real logic behind him being chosen either.

He’s definitely been interviewed as far as I’m aware.

Kensell will be well aware of him, he knows the Scottish game, him and his assistant both played for Hearts.

I thought he was well respected at Bristol City, got them flirting with the play offs and to the semi finals of the league cup after beating Man Utd, managing to score a few goals agains Man City.

Sunderland sacked him when they were 3rd and a point off automatic promotion which I thought was harsh. He also won the EFL trophy at Sunderland. I don’t think he would be a bad appointment.

I think Lee Johnson looks a good option on paper, looks to have done well wherever he goes.

Teams are supposedly attacking and score a lot of goals however are prone to conceding.
