Bring in Roy Keane now.

[A Hi-Bee]

Can we just announce the new manager as Roy Keane on Monday.
I may renew my season ticket then.
:thumbsup:

[AugustaHibs]

Spot on. Lucky if there’s been 2k renewals so far and no ****ing wonder

[Hibiza]

Absolutely

[Glory Lurker]

No ta.

[Since452]

100%

[The Harp Awakes]

I'm in. Want to be excited about Hibs again but at the moment everything is dull. Keane would transform the gloom instantly.

[One Day Soon]

Keane or someone else, it needs done quickly. If we don’t either make an impressive managerial announcement or surprise with quality player signings very early we are going to see a big slump in season ticket sales.

There’s pretty much zero to get excited about at this point: both squad and club leadership at all levels are mediocre at best. We need a comprehensive clear out and we don’t just need some new faces, we need a complete reboot of the mentality around the club. It’s a long time since we emanated a sense of professionalism, steel, self-belief and self-respect all at the same time. If I was Ron Gordon I’d make it a priority to sign emblematic figures as manager and as a new club captain.

[MWHIBBIES]

Would prefer a good manager

[04Sauzee]

Was in the I'm not to keen on Keane then got carried away with some of the excitement that maybe he'd be good for Hibs but I'm back in the nah not for me camp.
Let's see how I'm feeling tomorrow 😁

[LunasBoots]

Doubt anyone would come into this until season is done

[Mrimbetween]

Im sure if RK was remotely interested we would have heard more

It , well for me, aint happening

Should put this to bed

It won't be put to bed until someone is announced, unless he rules himself out. And I mean him, not some Irish reporter or Allan Preston.

[SHODAN]

It must be done! 7th place is at stake! Or something.

[Unseen work]

The thing with Keane is he will surely push the board and recruitment to get the very best in and won’t be fooled by then signing a 20 year old with potential.

He will want first team quality and players if a certain mindset.

He will also (hopefully) instill a winning mentality and a bit of intensity to our performances.

As likely as he is to do that and be a success, he is probably just as likely to quit after a month because the board haven’t signed who he wanted 😬

Stokes

Even guys like Gauld and Omeonga only had a week or two under him before he left, I reckon he’d have got alot from them. Then the likes of Slivka, Horgan etc were all decent if inconsistent players.

I reckon every player mentioned walked into our current team or squad at least.

:top marksCorrect, we could do with many more of the same, with a new manager as well, soon as.

[GreenCastle]

I think Keane is a risk - unless he brings a good assistant - back room staff.

Can we not get someone else who is more recently in management.

Someone who will galvanise the club.

It’s more important than ever they find someone who can bring the fans back to ER and actually add some character into the team.

It’s too dull / predictable and lacking quality. The dynamic of the team / club needs changed and whoever is coming in needs to be strong and make some tough decisions.

Even in the Championship we signed players like Grant Holt, Kris Commons and Andrew Shinnie who gave us experience and got us back into the top flight.

Stevie Mallan won fans and players player of the year in his first season with us.
Lennon’s signings overall were a lot better than Ross imo.

Wouldn’t every manager want that, and push for it? Why is it more likely Keane would get the board to spend some extra amount of money that Maloney, Ross, Lennon etc didn’t? Because he played for Utd? Because he’d shout at them?

I just don’t buy it. Ultimately, we have a budget we can spend, and are always going to need to find and develop gems because signing ready made Boyle or McGinn type players is way beyond us, no matter how shouty the manager is.

I just think like Lennon he’d demand a higher standard.

Maloney came in and whether or not he accepted them at the time I think it showed naivety.

It’s sometimes about telling them we have plenty of youngsters and we need experience.

You look at players other teams the the league have signed and think they could have came to us and helped us get top 6 minimum.

I don't think Keane scores enough goals.

I don’t think we have any idea what Maloney’s private view on the signings were, maybe we’ll get a ‘tell all’ type interview from him eventually.

Ultimately whoever takes the job will be told what the budget is, I don’t moaning internally or externally will change that amount significantly. More likely if a Keane thought that budget wasn’t enough they’d refuse to take the job in the first place as opposed to taking that banging tables over it.

Commons and Shinnie were mince for us, as was Mavrias, Big Dave, MacLean, Nelom. He was happy to let his thoughts be known on Kamberi and Stokes was released in the first available window. Allan he completely lucked out on as we had signed Scott Bain!

Lennon’s recruitment history was utterly dismal. We need a manager with a keen eye for a player. Not convinced Keane has that.

[BT58]

SDG is trying his best with coaching, however these players are proving that under 3 managers they are not up to the job. We need a MASSIVE clear out. Wwre not good enough, if the young dudes werent going for their league i would play some of them. No more chances.

I’ve got an uneasy feeling that RG would be frightened to appoint such a strong character as RK. He’s clearly his own man, hence the swift boot out of JR and SM. RK might be a bit too formidable for him to deal with. Whoever RG and his son appoint, it better work or they will have totally lost the support and have to cut their losses and head for the exit.

Commons had 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 games. I thought Shinnie did alright, played about 26 games and got us promoted, left us to do excellent with Luton. I really wouldn’t consider Lennon’s recruitment history as utterly dismal. Signed us players who won us the championship and did pretty well in the Premiership.

Signed the likes of Van Dijk, Forster and Wanyama at Celtic.

I dont think what you say is correct in my humble opinion of course, you are very selective in what you are telling us. Commons scored a cracking free kick for us to win a game that was instrumental in us going up, Shinnie was pretty good for us, helping to beat the manky ones as well. Hibs would not invest hence he took the huff with Hibs, As for players he has an eye for a player alright which could also be seen when he was boss of the lesser greens. I would have to say that I reckon a ex-manager/assistant manager and very very top player would know a good player when they seen them, as for Hibs being able to afford such quality well that is yet to be seen as we are shopping in Aldi just now and even the manky ones are shopping in Waitrose. Time will tell of course.

[superfurryhibby]

"Former Sunderland and Ipswich boss Keane is the favourite for the post with Ross County boss Malky Mackay also in the frame.

Hibs’ hierarchy will speak to Keane’s people again as part of a lengthy recruitment process.

Maloney was sacked after just four months in the job.

And first-team coach David Gray is caretaker-boss for the rest of the season".

Whether you want Keane in or not, the reality is that few high profile candidates are going to come to Hibs if they do not make the decisions on player recruitment, particularly when Ron is so trigger happy in firing managers.

So does the Manager have the final say on recruitment? Ron said Maloney did, but there seems to be conflicting accounts.

Was the system not the same under Stubbs? George Craig, Graeme Mathie and Stubbs?

Now it’s whoever the new manager is, Kensell and Gordon?

I’m sure Dempster and Mathie spoke about how it would be more a club structure way of recruitment back then and not a manager choosing whoever he wants as then the type of player etc could change every manager.

The structure isn’t the problem, the folk working in it are.

The whole transfer committee thing is getting blown out of proportion IMO (in terms of the structure). The days of managers identifying all their own players are long, long gone. Hearts are an example last year. They finally got someone in as a Director of Football who actually knows what they’re doing and they start to sign some decent players. We’ve asked the owners laddie to do something similar and it starts going tits up.

[The Harp Awakes]

Not one quote from Keane or Hibs during the last fortnight but some fans actually thought it was happening.

Hibs never comment on managerial or player targets and prospective managers are unlikely express interest directly in a vacant post. So not surprising there's been no direct quotes from either party.

Keane's representatives apparently expressed interest in the position on his behalf. No-one knows for sure if that's true but there's probably no smoke without fire. Looks like it's not happening now, but any candidate suggested just now is speculation.

[Coco Bryce]

Fair point. They told Keane's representatives he didn't fit their criteria/vison after their client showed interest though.

Maybe they should have just been straight with the fans and informed us that he wasn't even getting quoted for the position.

Probably raised the profile of our club down south just by having his name linked.

Yes I would agree with that as well, a positive from hibs point of view.

The Roy Keane chat has been the best thing on here for months. We got some excitement and there were plenty of us who genuinely would have been delighted at his appointment.

Now we're back to the usual mundane list of nobodies to take over our club.

Fantastic. Can't wait.

Kinda feel the same to be honest.

I'll obviously back and want any Hibs manager to do well though.

Aw well, it was fun while it lasted! Some good PR for Hibs, saved paying for advertisements in the locals🤷🏼😂

Yep was all but done until the deal broke down due to the severance package (allegedly).

Not one quote from Keane or Hibs during the last fortnight but some fans actually thought it was happening.

Tbf id rather have an actual football manager than some sky pundit. The only reason folk want Roy Keane is that they watch him on Sky and think he talks a good game....if you looked at his record and didnt know whose it was......this place would go into meltdown.
