Who do YOU want as new Hibs Manager

[offshorehibby]

I like the sound of Jon Dahl Tomasson or Ronny Deila

[sunshinejim]

I would gratefully consider any manager who goes ballistic at players, who when finding themselves in a good attacking position around thirty yards or closer to goal that results in a passing of the ball backwards with the ball then eventually ending up inside our own box back with our goalie.

There's no candidate jumping out at me so I'm happy to believe that Ron and team will have learned a lot recently and will sift through the myriad of applications and appoint a worthwhile manager who will sort out the squad and everything else that is under his scope.

[DetroitHibs]

Paul Lambert

[Crunchie]

As the heading says, I will start it off with the dream team of Lenny & Broony
:thumbsup:
Dream team? more like a nightmare. Steer well clear of ex managers and rookies please, unless it's Stubbsy of course :greengrin

Interesting to see more votes for an overseas manager than the current favorites Neil Lennon and Scott Brown.
Going by a very small, and pretty unrepresentative of the Hibs support at large, we want a foreign manager.

I’m not convinced - I think it’s maybe more the way the poll is built.

I don’t want Neil Lennon, and I don’t care where the manager comes from. Yet I probably chose foreign manager when I voted… as I didn’t particularly like any of the named options and ‘foreign manager’ covers more options for good managers that aren’t Neil Lennon or Derek Mcinness than any of the other answers 😁

[hibsforeurope]

Loved going to the games when Lenny was manager, wouldn't be concerned if we went for him again.

If not Lennon id like to see Michael O'Neil appointed, with some one like Pat Nevin brought in as DOF.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Always thought John Collins would be a great Director of Football. Has the right football principles, and enough distance from the players and day to day operations.

Is Roy Race still available?

We're in a fortunate position. It should be really easy to get someone better than we've just had!!!

We're in a fortunate position. It should be really easy to get someone better than we've just had!!!

We've said that previously! Not as easy as we might think. A club of our size, playing in a mediocre league can't attract a manager who can guarantee success or even improvement. We have to hope the board learn from mistakes, do their homework and, with a little luck, make a good appointment. If they keep making the wrong choice, they must also be held accountable.

No club of any size can bring in a manager who can guarantee success, Man Utd are a perfect example of that. You can believe that a new coach will be successful but guarantee? Not now and not ever.

True, but it's about levels. At our level it isn't easy to find a manager who can even guarantee improvements on his predecessor: look how many managers we've gotten through over the years. If you can afford a Guardiola or a Klopp, things will certainly improve, but we have to hope a combination of good judgement in the boardroom plus a bit of luck brings improvement. Then, if a manager does really well, we have to accept a bigger club will come along. Not easy.

It isn’t easy at any level, some of the biggest clubs in the world who have all the resources available to them that they could wish for to ensure they make the right appointment still only get it right about 50% of the time. There’s not many (if any) clubs I can think of who make successful managerial appointments with any level of consistency.

Given our resources, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a manager that can make us a top six club.
That would be an improvement.

Indeed, and that's at clubs with massive resources; it's much harder for us. It might look like anybody would be an improvement on Maloney right now, but that isn't necessarily so. The board need to be careful; we can't keep on sacking managers and starting again.

[Unseen work]

Genuine question, why would people want Brown as an assistant?

For example if Lennon got the job why would people prefer Brown over say David Gray?

:top markswhen he gave it back to the orc hords at ipox it was one of the sweetest things ive ever seen a Hibs manager do there hes defo my first choice you allways thought with him as manager that you had at least a 50% chance of turning them over every time< IMO we missed a trick not getting him in before the cup final. :agree: boats prob sailed now tho? Mcinness 2nd choice.....thats in my eyes the top 2:thumbsup:

I would be amazed if the board are contemplating bringing Lennon back. We've been there, and it ended shambolically after a good start. The same thing then happened when he returned to Celtic. Let's learn from history and look elsewhere.

[Since452]

Lennon would be fine if we could somehow loan John McGinn from Aston Villa and win a trophy first so he could take over a club on the crest of a wave.

[Scotty Leither]

Lennon would relish it I think, the Board maybe less so, but if we gave him it he'd want a few quid to spend on players; but I think it would boost season ticket sales which might not be the case with someone that splits opinion such as Tommy Wright or Malky Mackay.

[MinceAndTatties]

Rubbish poll because the groupings
e. g. McPake or other Scottish manager.
Utterly pointless

[LewysGot2]

I see what you did there 😉

Lennon has seemingly been on PLZ talking about his leaving Scotland, Celtic and Maloney. To be on YouTube later on...

[bingo70]

I wouldn’t be disappointed with Woodgate.

Did a poor job at Middlesbrough but looks like he did well at Bournemouth and was unlucky not to be kept on. Any experienced manager we get will have failed somewhere before so

Listened to a couple of interviews with him recently. Talks a lot about playing good football. Think he is someone the board should be considering.

[Smartie]

I want a manager with a failure on his cv.

We don’t want the manager’s first experience with of being under pressure to come when in the job.

[LewysGot2]

Just listening to it.

Celtic fans have gone into meltdown. Saying he's taking less responsibility for his failings than Boris...

Blaming his players, former team mates for "stabbing me in the front". Saying you don't go from winning a treble to being a dud 3 months later...

Says he's not forgiving his pals who were critical of the ten in a row season...

[Unseen work]

There’s definitely some interesting names going about, how realistic they would all be god knows.

The ‘interesting’ ones would be another risk though as you don’t know how they would adapt to Scottish football

Jon Dahl Tomasson
Jonathan Woodgate
Sabri Lamouchi
Lee Johnson

But the one I really quite fancy is Liam Manning.

Young manager, done really well at MK Dons playing brilliant football and is good at coaching young players. Will be high in demand.

MK Dons looking good to be promoted to the Championship although they have stopped a few points recently. If they missed out on promotion I'd say he was within our reach, we won't wait to find out if they get promoted though.

[BegbieHSC]

Lennon took in a new job literally a month ago. Can’t see him ripping up his contract after such a short period.

My preference would be either of the Scandinavian boys.

Ronny Deila
Kjeti Knutson
Jon Dahl Tomasson

(Obviously I wouldn’t mind Ole, but regardless of how much of a disaster he was at Man U, as Moyes has shown, one stint there and you’re laughing in the upper echelons of English football for life)

All very ambitious appointments, but ones I think have real potential to take us up a level.

[bingo70]

In terms of an ambitious (but probably unlikely) left field appointment, Diego Martinez would be a really interesting shout.

Previously manager of Granada in Spain and did an incredible job there. The reason I’m mentioning him as a possibility is he’s been in the media desperate for a job in English football. He’s been without a job since July last year though so if he’s wanting to get into English football he’ll need to take a job soon while his CV remains relevant.

Based on an article I’ve just read he clearly loves British football so there’s comparables with us and England that would probably appeal.

Probably out of our reach but be good if we can try to get folk of his calibre.

Whatever short list the club come down to,the candidate will need to be one that wiil see fans deciding to buy STs.
I think had we stayed in top six,Shaun would still be here .Revenue talks .
I know this forum is not an accurate poll on what all Hibs fans think.
But when fans vote with their feet as we did,he sadly had to go,if only for that reason.
Hampden sealed it,no matter the performance.The game was up.
Trick now is getting a candidate/new guy that all or most of the support can say "He'll do" [ and hope he does!]
In the short time i have been a member here,i have never "slagged" a player or boss.
I hope that kind off chat Ross and Shaun received is not repeated next term.!:greengrin

So i say .....Lennon for boss :greengrin

More I think about more I think we will get some American we have never heard off. We aren't really looking for a manager more of a coach and all those quoted so for won't take it the way the club is run.

[Northernhibee]

The more I think about it, the more I'm excited about the thought of Mowbray. When you look at some managers who have come north of the border and revived their careers, Mowbray is switched on, knows the club, knows the league and is a good manager.

When you look at what Steve Clarke has done, Malky McKay has done and a few others then I think it'd be a brilliant move and worth paying a pretty penny on.

[Since90+2]

What's our price range?

Probably no more than 5k a week on a head coach, which isn't going to attract the type of manager/coach described in the post I quoted.

If you forget about the fact Mowbray has been here previously he’d probably still be if not the stand out candidate then he’d certainly be one of them. :agree:

If he’s released by Blackburn then maybe it does.

[Abbey Hill 03]

Derek Riordan and Gary OConnor.

[bingo70]

If he’s released by Blackburn then maybe it does.

I think it’s likely he will be released by Blackburn but there’s no chance of him coming back here.

Likelihood is he’ll want a wee break for a while which is no use to us. I’d be surprised if he just jumped into another job.

If he does he will have offers in league 1 or the championship. No reason for him to come back to Hibs and potentially ruin the memory of him when he won’t have as good players as he had last time.

Absolute non starter in my opinion.

I don’t mean this as a dig at him but I haven’t heard a peep about Mowbray and Hibs since he left. It’s not like he harks back to his time here often.

If it’s a decent offer then I think he’ll consider it.

Ronny Delia would be my number 1 choice. Not sure how possible it is but I think it ticks every box. Scottish league experience, Norwegian connection which seems to be a market we are targeting and he will also have a knowledge of the American market now after spending some time over there, a market which Ron will be interested in also.

The Australian coach ticks a lot of Ron’s boxes, is well known at Hibs and his contract is due to expire after Australia exit the World Cup….which is likely to be after the play offs.

Definitely NOT advocating for him…like any manager he has his critics……but I’m pretty sure his agent would have emailed his CV to Hibs.

They play UAE and then if win that Peru to get to World Cup. Both play off games are single legs based in Qatar. Probably safe assumption they would win first leg and lose second game but certainly wouldn't rule them out.

Cheers, when are these games? If they’re not going to be until we are into next season then that would rule him out I’d have thought.

I don’t know much about the guy but a quick look at his Wikipedia page shows he tends to stay in jobs for a long time so he must be a pretty decent manager.
