Roy Kean as new manager of Hibs?

[A Hi-Bee]

As the heading says someone was asking for a poll, so we now have one.
:greengrin

[Jones28]

Can’t vote on the phone but would be delighted with Keane, Brown and Gray. Would take Keane in any format though. Keane and Gray with John Collins as DOF would give me the real horn.

[MWHIBBIES]

God no. Would be an utter disaster.

At the bottom of the page change to default style. Vote then swap back again.

[wookie70]

I presume you mean Roy Keane. I can't vote as there isn't a not a f***ing chance button. He last managed a club 11 years ago from what I can see and wasn't very good then

[MrSmith]

No thanks option?

[Malthibby]

Said yes with SDG, but largely because I can't think of anyone sensible.

You'll need to start a poll with the options - no, please god no, I'm chucking my season ticket if he gets it and I'd rather have my baws clamped in a vice than him get the job.

[JohnM1875]

Just NO NO NO!

Yes.

[LaMotta]

This is the most ridiculous attempt at a poll I've ever seen. :hilarious

Simple yes or no
I still can't vote
I would vote YES
I'm sure RMK could choose who he

Aye go on then. Club is drifting aimlessly and desperately needs a stick of dynamite shoved up its arse

[A Hi-Bee]

Who is Roy Kean? 👀😂

Sorry thats my bad, bloody dylexia, but of course it is Roy Keane, as others have rightly pointed out no where on this poll is the "No" button. Never thought for a min we would need a no button.
:greengrin

[Inconsequential]

I think Steve Keane should step up and be manager. Roy Kean could become his assistant with the plan to eventually succeed Steve Keane as manager. Unless Roy Kean wants to be the manager in his own right. This is me spelling it out. :wink:

I think he used a smiley to show he had taken it in good spirit.

Who's the grumpy man now?

[Tambo]

Would definitely be an interesting appointment and one that you never know it could work if he had a few Hibs men beside him.

But it's a no from me, no doubt would end in tears.

[A Hi-Bee]

I have just heard that Roy Keane is having second thoughts about Hibs, apparently peed off with the fact that some numpty Hibs supporter cannie even get his name correct, aah well.

No keen. On Keane ken.

I’d rather have this poll as manager.

At a guess, doesn't need the money, enjoyed the cushy pundit job, was happy to take a break from the 24/7 lifestyle of a football manager. Now wants to get back into management, sees Hibs as a good way back in, perceives it as not the same pressure/expectation as say the Sunderland job, knows Hibs from his time in Scotland, lived in Edinburgh before, likes our Irish heritage....

[stu in nottingham]

Reminds me of the Monty Python spam sketch. Any combination you like as long as Keane is part of it. :greengrin

I wouldn't want him no. I think Roy struggles to work with and understand players who are well beneath the high standard he played in and set for himself. His frustration often comes across in his punditry I always feel. He would certainly be strong on discipline but his communication with players would be an issue being somewhat one-dimensional. His appointment would certainly bring publicity to the club but I fear it would all end in tears in fairly short order the last thing Hibs need right now.

did he live in Edinburgh when he played for Celtic?

[Hibernia&Alba]

And the winner is.....Roy Keane :greengrin


Not for me. A nutter is the last thing we need just now.

[Haymaker]

No for me

[jacomo]

Can’t vote but why not?

[Since90+2]

No manager we appoint is going to be guaranteed to be successful. Even at higher levels that's an impossible ask.

It might be a rollercoaster journey with Keane for aslong as it would last, but it certainly wouldn't be dull. I'd take Keane over someone like McInness every day of the week.

[Since452]

100% of voters want Keane. That's telling. Do it Ron.

Or is it Steve Kean?

[sauzeelegod]

Can’t vote but it’s a yes from me.

[Irish_Steve]

I would take anyone who would keep the racist Mackay out of our club

Aye, stayed in the Sheraton on festival Square.

[lyonhibs]

Absolutely not, no ****ing way etc etc

[judas]

So that’s it then.

100% of voters want Roy Keane.

[Steve20]

Absolutely no need for Scott Brown to be involved. Why the need for someone who is far more Celtic than Hibs to return here, when he has shown nothing to suggest he'd be good as an assistant manager.

Could do without someone who will talk up Celtic any chance he'd get.

[s.a.m]

His appointment would certainly bring publicity to the club but I fear it would all end in tears in fairly short order the last thing Hibs need right now.

If he's appointed, I'll really want him to succeed and I'll be behind him, but this is how I feel.
And it has a 'fancies having a go again' feel about it. The Hibs job, at the moment, is a challenge, and we need someone who's completely committed to making it work. Ultimately, it's too easy for him to walk away - a bit like Collins - if it isn't going his way; he doesn't need the money or the hassle and he doesn't need his reputation damaged. If Roy Keane was really invested in being a football manager, he'd currently be working as a football manager (or be in between jobs). If he's genuinely up for restarting his managerial career, I feel like he'd be better suited to a club where he isn't going to be constrained by serious budget limitations. I'm also trying to get my head around Roy being told what to do by Ron Gordon or his son... and all I can think about is who'd play who in the movie about the ensuing meltdown :take that:greengrin

[Scouse Hibee]

Absolutely not, can’t stand the guy and his credentials as a manager are far below what I would want for the next manager.

Wheres the no option? Titles misleading, should be 'Who should be Roy Keanes assistant?'

Anyway its a big no from me.

And its Keane not Kean ;-)

[cabbageandribs1875]

or maybe Ron won't agree :duck:


Roy Keane set to leave SkySports after talks with club over manager's role (msn.com (https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/roy-keane-set-to-leave-skysports-after-talks-with-club-over-manager-s-role/ar-AAWBz6s?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=2882d57b1f93418ebb01a3b273c12d8d)

Roy Keane could be set to leave his role at SkySports after signalling his interest in taking the vacant managerial role at Hibernian.

However, Keane has regularly spoken about his desire to return to management and he was on the brink of returning to Sunderland (https://metro.co.uk/tag/sunderland-fc/?ico=auto_link_sport_P4_LNK1) earlier this season, only for talks to collapse over the length of contract offered to him by the Black Cats.

Ron Gordon ‘It didn’t pan out, that’s the beauty and challenge of football. How much risk do we want to take? I don’t know.

the parts in bold

1. i really don't think RK would accept less than two years...minimum, he's giving up what is surely a well paid job, no hassle, no stress

2. sure his appointment would be a risk, then again any appointment will be a risk really

[ahibby]

No

[Scouse Hibee]

Breaking News: Liverpool fan can't stand Man Utd legend... 😀

It’s got nothing to do with him being a Manure legend, he was a tremendous player and I recognise that.

[sunshinejim]

Been a Hibernian supporter for well over 45 years now. Its a big Yes from me. Welcome aboard Roy. Amazing from the board if it happens. Everyone who states their opposition should make it known who their desired manager is instead, imo.

[kaimendhibs]

Ive been a Hibernian fanatic for 51 years. Started off watching Eddies Tornados, seen some utter dross, seen us in Europe, including beating Liverpool, seen great young teams, seen every cup final in person since all 3 games in 1979. Watched in awe as George Best strutted his stuff for Hibs, couldnt believe we got Steve Archibald. Thought I would never see us win the Holy Grail, I did.
Now, would I want Roy Keane as manager,
Damn Right. Bring it on

Why should they?

If Levein was being suggested, would we have to suggest an alternative before opposing the appointment?

[bingo70]

Would make for a better discussion if you did.

Dead easy just to say no to potential managers, pretty much everybody we could appoint would have a negative slant that could be put on it.

True, but unlike you, not everyone has the same sleuth like, in depth knowledge of available, or potentially available, managers.

It’s a little bit dogmatic a view though Bingo. Some people may be clear on not wanting someone, but not yet have a preference…

I’d still have Lennon back - I’ll throw that hand Grenade into the mix ..although Cocu credentials sounds much stronger than Keane, so interesting name in the mix too

[Since452]

Vote looks like an overwhelming yes to Keane becoming manager. The fans have spoken Ron. Make it happen.

Id like to see what other names come up...At the moment out of who I have heard Id prefer Cocu (although that could be more of what we have just had) or one of the Norweigans mentioned though I dont think we will be able to afford them unless we really plan to push the boat out.

[hfcok]

Cocu had only an 8% win rate at Derby😳,and that’s with a club who had money at the time of appointment, massive no!!

We've had a few managers that are Tommy Wright (synonym :greengrin). We are all hoping for one that can consistently maintain at least a top 4 finish and the odd cup here and there. Some good names being bandied around. Lets all hope that the Board can find the right man (not Tommy :greengrin) of course.

Well if we are asking the manager to remove clothing, may I suggest Emma Stone for the job?
