Milwall have mutually agreed to part company with first team manager Gary Rowett

[MKHIBEE]

Lincoln have parted company with their manager and assistant. A return for the Cowley brothers perhaps?

Milwall have mutually agreed to part company with first team manager Gary Rowett

Notice Nisbet isn't exactly tearing it up down there, 2 goals in 10 games and zero assists.

Missed the last 3 games with hamstring injury too, in fairness Millwall have been pretty ****, I watched a game a few weeks ago and Nisbet was completely isolated and barely touched the ball

[overdrive]

Yep, it much the same when I was at their first home game of the season. He was barely in the game and Millwall were poor. Bristol City weren't that great either that day.

[porthibbie]

According to Flashscores he has played in the last 3 games. Hull ,Plymouth and Swansea

[Hiber-nation]

Yep think he missed one game in September through injury plus the odd spot on the bench but he's been a regular starter apart from that.

One of the bookies has Kevin Muscat and Michael Beale favourites for the Millwall job . Would you leave Japan for Millwall ? . Hope Beale gets it as Millwall's not a club I like and he'd be a good fit as I don't particularly like him either!.

I don't think it was a particularly great club for Nisbet to go to in all honesty. Seems to spend a lot of time being subbed off.

[Bridge hibs]

Yeah, I need to up my research 🤭

[J-C]

I don't think it was a particularly great club for Nisbet to go to in all honesty. Seems to spend a lot of time being subbed off.

Nisbet has always chased the cash, he's never really stayed long at any club and remember he was quick to put in a transfer request when he first heard about Millwall making a bid in that January window.

[ancient hibee]

He was injured. That's why he was pulled from the Scotland squad.

Straight swap with Joey lol

I'd doubt very much LJ would move to Bristol rovers after he had to move house over threats he supposedly got from them .

Heard it on the way home yesterday, the way they were building it up I thought he was going to resign on air, was still pretty scathing though, can't see many players trying for him now

[Gmack7]

Hecky surely can't survive much longer was always going to be an impossible task but their start has been horrific

[Crunchie]

There always seems to be plenty clubs who are willing to give these guys a job despite their less than impressive performances elsewhere .
Im sure Barton and Beale and plenty others will be linked with clubs as and when they become available

[Sloop67]

Aye , it's a bit confusing

St Johnstone sack MacLean.

Hardly a surprise after his post match interview yesterday.

MacLean might get the hertz job

[WhileTheChief..]

His interview post match yesterday was his resignation speech and i think he knew his time was up and was never coming back after it.

He's should never have been given the job. Another player who fancied a shot at a top job in the country without having a clue how to do it.

So many clubs try this cheap option these day, but it rarely works. There was absolutely nothing to suggest he'd be a good manager.

Naismith still fighting that fight, but every interview he gives just shows how unsuited he is to be a manager. Hope he stays in post for a while yet, picking up the odd win in 10.

[WhileTheChief..]

I really can't believe Aberdeen appointed Robson on the back of a spawny run which was more about Goodwin leaving than anything else. They've been very poor ever since the the split last season. Hearts clearly went for the cheap option in Naismith. Both poor decisions. Robinson must be a shoo in for one of those jobs.

Which one could afford him, or should I say sack their managers, after all don’t herts have multiple managers?!

[Since452]

True. You'd think Robinson would push for it though if the opportunity came. Hearts would probably appoint Peter Haring instead though. Basket case.

It’s Dr Ann remember! As an aside where did she get the Dr from? In recognition of her business success and community work, and for services to sport in Edinburgh, Ann Budge will be presented with an engraved Loving Cup from the Lord Provost later this year. Also for giving hibs fans a good laugh along the way, particularly with their shambles of a new build single tiered main stand.

Sheep have turned in a couple of good displays this season. Overall poor but no way we can go into next weekend over confident.

If they lose the semi-final you have to imagine the current management team are on the brink. Pretty pitiful European showing and 5 defeats in 10 on league business. Not what they've budgeted for.

[Iain G]

It’s Dr Ann remember! As an aside where did she get the Dr from?

She is allowed to call herself Dr until her sainthood arrives from the Pope. It's the biggliest team way. (Though they wouldn't pay for a first class stamp on the SAE they had to send to the Vatican)

If they don’t, he’ll end up at Aberdeen soon enough.

Year without a gig now. Plenty of decent jobs came up in that time. Majority of SPL clubs have been looking for managers in that time. He's never been seriously considered. Not sure he's that guy anymore.

[Since452]

If Aberdeen kept winning in the SPL I think that their fans might accept narrow defeats but decent showings in Europe, like Frankfurt away.

St Johnstone would be mad to consider Lennon. My guess is they would not match his wage expectations anyway.

[Donegal Hibby]

Lennon appointing himself st Johnstone manager I see.

Getting desperate to get back into management , can't really see him going to St Johnstone . Wouldn't rule him out of the Ireland job when Kenny goes though.

[Donegal Hibby]

Read that this is Man United's worst start to a premier League season since 1986/7 when they sacked Ron Atkinson, was looking at Utd's fixtures and the manager should pick up enough points to save him for now . Fulham (A) , Luton (H) and Everton (A ) . Got to think they have a good chance of picking up maximum points there .

They should be looking at his last few months with us, and the complete implosion at Celtic when they should never have let Rangers have a sniff of a league title and realise that he’s not worth the hassle.

[WeeRussell]

Livvy can't sack Martindale, they made a point of telling St Johnstone to bolt when they wanted him. Even if they get relegated he will stay in post. The next manager to go in the top flight will be Kettlewell, possibly Naibadges if a few results go against him.

If Ross county and St Johnstone get a lift from new managers coming in and Livvy find themselves say 5 or 6 points adrift of the rest I still think it's possible the Livvy board could react too though your probably right they will stick with him . Robson's very much a contender too .

Hopefully he can turn things around

[truehibernian]

Re. Marv, really feel for the big guy as he’s undoubtedly putting lots of blood, sweat and tears into football management. I’m a bit conflicted with his post match interview below. Brutal honesty, some blunt home truths, and clearly angry and containing himself as best he can - but I’d be saying to him “keep your powder dry” and take these thoughts into (and keep in) the dressing room. He’s almost talked himself out of the job by being so brutally honest.

I’d love him to succeed 👍 if he loses the QotS gig, he’d be a tremendous addition to the Hibs coaching team but I reckon he’ll fight to stay as a first team manager. I wish him every success.

[Musselbound]

I'm not sure if QOTS are full or part time. But if they have other jobs I doubt very much they are on play stations 8 hours a day. It sounds like he might be taking something he's heard about one or two players and applying it across the board. It doesn't look good for him and it's usually just about over when a manager comes out with something like this.

He’s almost talked himself out of the job by being so brutally honest.

I’d love him to succeed 👍 if he loses the QotS gig, he’d be a tremendous addition to the Hibs coaching team but I reckon he’ll fight to stay as a first team manager. I wish him every success.
Is he a good coach?

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

I'm not sure if QOTS are full or part time. But if they have other jobs I doubt very much they are on play stations 8 hours a day. It sounds like he might be taking something he's heard about one or two players and applying it across the board. It doesn't look good for him and it's usually just about over when a manager comes out with something like this.

I'd imagine Efe Ambrose would be on a good wage there as would ex Jambo Gavin Reilly. Two of the other back four yesterday are on loan from Hibs, Kyle McCelland and Oscar MacIntyre so they are all I'm sure full time players.

They are full time. Marv is clearly pissed off with some players not all, and he made that point 3 or 4 times. But I agree that should be an internal meeting - not post a game when emotions are high. If players are not doing the correct gym work or doing ice baths then I'm sure he would drop them if he had any other options. I expect he will be gone very soon as he's got no chance of replacing those players.

[Brightside]

Or they can work fulltime, and do as they like in their free time, like anyone else. They're not claiming to be anything they're not.

Its clear he's got no ideas to turn it around and is lashing out IMO.

I'm talking about players not doing the gym work expected, not taking ice baths. Running coaching sessions in their spare time and then turning up not able to train due to that? If you do stuff in your free time that affects your ability to perform in your day job then expect to be fired.

TBH it all sounds a bit like John Collins. Marv keeps himself in great shape and he's clearly unhappy that some of his full time paid players don't have the same levels.

[Musselbound]

I just watched some of the interview. Yeah I agree with your points. A lot of it sounds like stuff that should be said to players either in the dressing room or personally. Not to a reporter even from a club channel. Obviously it's become a bigger story and already looks out of control.

[Unseen work]

It’s a tough one for Marv/being a manager.

He comes out and is really honestly about the game. He’s bang on int the sense of he can’t control it making basic mistakes etc, however you listen to him saying about why is Efe Ambrose trying to dribble out instead of putting the ball out and that he doesn’t coach them to do what efe done.

It’s Efe Ambrose?! I’d say most Hibs fans would expect him to try dribble out of a certain position or take a risk, if he never wanted that in his defender he shouldn’t sign him.

Unfortunately though when a manager comes out and is as honest as that it’s just not a good look.

[SHODAN]

The video games patter is boomer *****. Disappointing really.

[truehibernian]

Is he a good coach?

I think his time at Livi showed he’s a good coach and assistant - a good conduit between manager and players due to his personality and articulate way he presents himself. The struggle he’ll have and is having to cross that line from being ex player/assistant to a manager - as Lennon said, he’s not there to be your friend he’s the boss. It’s finding that sweet spot of being a good man manager and an autocrat when the big decisions have to be made. Players aren’t robots and they’ll always make mistakes in games, but I think he went too far publicly calling individuals out. He’s bang on about preparation and subtly hinting that certain players (in general) milk injuries or get muscle injuries due to poor prep and lifestyle though (in my opinion). He’s fallen into the trap of wanting it too fast too soon when results go against you. It’s at those times you need to be calm, composed, and manage the criticism in-house. But he’s a very young manager and he’ll always be learning about his methods and way of motivating. He’ll maybe look back at this interview in particular in the future and realise he went too far.

He's complaining that his players are sitting in poor posture for hours on end then asking to be excused from training because their muscles are tight as a result. He's complaining because they're not taking care of themselves properly in other ways too.

Playing the games itself isn't the issue.

I’d be stunned if the players sitting playing the PlayStation has much of any impact on the players.

I doubt he’d say it if someone said they stayed in and watched football or tv in general

Even his point about coaching and being on your feet a couple of hours just sounds so stupid imo.

If they can’t sit and play PlayStation as it will make them stiff and they can’t coach as they should be resting their legs what exactly should they be doing?

It seems the classic case of we’re in a bad run etc so let’s look into every detail/excuse

If his training methods require players to essentially have no life outside of football for them to avoid injury/tightness then it’s his training methods that are the problem.

Wouldn't say he worked wonders. He did well to get them promoted but that was very much the expectation with the most expensive squad in that league.

As others have said, he's been set up to fail this season when they sell his best players. And you look at Burnley spending £100m and even Luton seeming to have recruited better.

Think Saturday's game was an El Sackio though, whichever manager lost was going to struggle to recover.

[Donegal Hibby]

Hecky had done really well to get sheff Utd promoted and it was always going to be a tough task to keep them in the premier , personally I think their making a mistake in getting rid of him . He got them up once , he could do it again. I also don't see who their supposedly meant to be appointing as any better than Hecky either.
