How does Lennon still get liked with jobs? Especially ones as big as Aberdeen. Unbelievable. Must have some agent or Celtic pals in the media.

He did well in Cyprus. Got them to the Europa League group stages on the back of winning the Cypriot Cup.

[WhileTheChief..]

Firstly you have called the league by the wrong name, secondly I don't think many St Johnstone fans (who watch every week) would agree with your assessment.

I'm guessing you knew which league he meant thought yeah?

It's no that difficult to figure out.

[WhileTheChief..]

We finally have the opportunity to pip Aberdeen to a signing, hopefully RG will beat Cormack to it.

Will be a great move for them if they get him.

[WhileTheChief..]

I would take him back at ER.

:top marksAbsolutely this.

Best move we could make when we bin LJ.

[Donegal Hibby]

I would take him back at ER.
We would probably start of really well and fall away badly again and watch a manager lose the plot and throw his toys out of his pram again and walk away ! . Though the pre-match Celtic interviews were good when he was here last :yawn: . A big NO from me .

[LewysGot2]

P45 head to head next week

Badloss v Johnson

[Hiber-nation]

Lampard sacked, official now.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Lampard sacked, official now.

Yes, should have happened earlier. Everton have a huge fight ahead of them, if they are to stay up. Lampard's record there was abysmal.

Not sure who Everton get in now. Rumours locally about Sean Dyche….

Sadly Everton's issues run far deeper than the manager. They are like Hibs at the moment. From top down a bit of a shambles. What a time to be an Everton supporting Hibby!☹️

Always feel that a manager hasn't a chance of success when the club is being badly run and doesn't necessarily mean the manager isn't good at his job . Marco Silva seems to be doing well at Fulham after been sacked at Everton as maybe a example . I really hope Everton stay up as I always liked them 🤞

[Hibernia&Alba]

Dyche is the only one of them with the stomach for a relegation battle.

[Willis1875]

Yep it’ll be easier for Dyche to come in and make them resolute and hard to beat from the off instead of a Poch or Tuchel that will try and implement a style that will take time to get used to

Flip side, if Hibs can get first goal they'll be dog food. Darvel will live with these players for ever. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to his interview.

Quick question, a lot of chat on here around how good it is Goodwin is getting sacked. Why is it good? Surely they are weaker with him in post?

….. yes, but only in the media. LJ’s problems are still uppermost as far as the Hibs supporters are concerned and events outwith the ER scene will not make any difference to his fate. Except of course the result against a likely rudderless Aberdeen.

[GreenCastle]

Chances of Aberdeen with no manager beating Hibs at the weekend? :eek:

[Hibernia&Alba]

Hasn't Goodwin been sacked yet? He can't possibly continue.

[GloryGlory]

Hibs have always been very accommodating to teams on a bad run, so expect Aberdeen to get a result. :boo hoo:

[DH1875]

Would have thought that Goodwin would actually have resigned by now.

[I'm Spartacus]

Would have thought that Goodwin would actually have resigned by now.

They've only got 18 months left to pay off, you'd have thought he would be well gone.

Meanwhile we are sitting with 40 months left on LJ's contract. FORTY MONTHS.

[BILLYHIBS]

The guy knows no shame

Terrible Manager

Not even a nice guy

( My polite way of saying it )

[I'm Spartacus]

Eddie Turnbull
Alex Miller
Alex McLeish

Those are the last 3 managers to last 4 years, I wonder how many have been paid for 4 years?!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Would have thought that Goodwin would actually have resigned by now.

Resigning might cost him a pay off? Probably already cleared his desk and just waiting to be emptied.

[GloryGlory]

The contract length has to be put into context. Without having seen the contract there's no way of knowing if there are certain performance criteria that have to be met. Wasn't there a discussion on here about a previous manager having exactly that?

[Curried]

Tell me about it!

Shirley Plymouth Argyle are coming up :wink:

[Since452]

Starting to wonder if Badloss will be punted. Not leaving much time for someone else to prepare the team for Saturday.

Yeah I guess, we may be paying him £1500 p/w on a 4 year deal with the Dons plumping for a £2.5k p/w 2 year deal.

It just feels so long though (words I've never had said to me).

[Jim44]

The contract length has to be put into context. Without having seen the contract there's no way of knowing if there are certain performance criteria that have to be met. Wasn't there a discussion on here about a previous manager having exactly that?

That’s my take on it. A newly appointed manager on, say a four year contract, knows that he isn’t guaranteed four years payment, irrespective of his length of service. His compensation will be set on a sliding scale and include mitigating circumstances written into the contract. I think that’s why some clubs offer rolling contracts, which safeguard the interests of both parties.

[Jim44]

I’m surprised that there’s been no announcement about Goodwin. Assuming that he would want to stay on, it looks like the ‘club’ has agreed to a stay of execution. Judging by the reaction on their club forums, I think they might be treading a precarious path by backing Goodwin, as the fans, unsurprisingly, expect him to get the boot. As light relief from our own ‘crisis’, the Aberdeen forums are a hoot.…. ranging from ‘close the club, immediately, and put the shutters up’ to ‘ we should go for Sir Clive Woodward. :greengrin:greengrin( I think that was a serious suggestion.) Whatever happens, our upcoming game will be interesting for events beyond the game itself.

Watching some of that last night the fans should be venting their anger at the players as well. Didn't look like their hearts were in it to me.

[JamesHFC]

Hasn't Goodwin been sacked yet? He can't possibly continue.

I'm not surprised they haven't sacked him. Said last night I think he will get the Hibs game.

They are 2 points off 4th and he's got them to a cup semi final this season, that's probably enough to get him through the last 2 defeats.

He just suffered one of the worst results in the history of world football leg alone Scottish football. He should actually be resigning. Not waiting to be sacked.

Barry Robson, currently one of the coaches. Did it after Stephen Glass was sacked.

The sheep could put " dolly the sheep " in charge and still beat us .

[Scottie]

Exactly the same could be said about our players. Majority of them look like they couldn't give a crap to me. They have seen off 2 managers in recent times and the next is only a matter of time.

[HFC93]

Suprised Goodwin hasn't been sacked.

[Jim44]

The sheep could put " dolly the sheep " in charge and still beat us .

They’ll probably have enough in their locker room to see us off, but, if we somehow conjure up a result, all hell will be let loose. Goodwin’s a lucky man to have us as his ‘get out of jail free card’.

Don’t think they can afford to pay his contract up James, my Aberdeen supporter chum said they’re investing heavily in the new stadium and money will be tight for a good while. And I think you’re right, as long as 4th place (even 3rd) is up for grabs both he and Lee Johnson look ‘safe’.

Both Hibs and Aberdeen need to take a good, long hard look at themselves inwardly and reflect on terrible seasons last couple of years. I’ve a feeling once we appoint a DoF, assuming we can guarantee league safety, Johnson will be gone in the summer.

[Jim44]

Listening to the report on Reporting Scotland re. Aberdeen’s recent stats., it’s quite numbing to realise that our record is worse.:rolleyes:

He has no self respect. His team has been mocked on national TV, outplayed by plumbers, but he still has the gall to hang around thinking the team is better under his management. If so, can you imagine how bad they would be 😂

What resign and miss out on a big pay off? Think most of us would hang around

[Carheenlea]

There comes a point when a situation arises that anyone with a shred of dignity would simply have to fall on their sword and offer no excuses. Contract small print or not.

Last night was the biggest humiliations in Aberdeens history, and arguably the worst result ever seen in Scottish football. Common decency says you offer your resignation immediately afterwards out of respect to the club and supporters. Holding out for a pay off after such a catastrophe tells you a lot about the man.

Probably won’t go unnoticed by other clubs and as such he may find no one else will touch him with a barge pole.

How much cash would you be happy to forego? (Bearing in mind it could a long time before getting another job).

Puts them ahead of us in appointing the right manager.

Let's be honest, there's absolutely no chance LJ is turning things around and we're absolutely in the same market for managers as Aberdeen.

Taking in everything that’s rotten about the club just now, I think we are, and will remain, in the worst state we could be for a long time. Hope I’m wrong, but I think we are going to get a lot worse before we see better days. With the likely loss of RP, KN, the imminent sacking of LJ and the ongoing mismanagement of RG et al, there’s no room for optimism.

Just in case they’re looking in for feedback, I really hope they don’t try to appoint LJ.

He’s a brilliant manager with ideas that will ensure a positive financial and footballing future for the club. And his personal hygiene is beyond reproach.

According to Reporting Scotland, they’re still discussing Goodwin’s future. I assumed instant dismissal was a formality but an ongoing three hour debate suggests he will get the board’s backing. He’ll be a lucky guy to get a very winnable game against us to consolidate their decision.

I wonder if LJ has been given the same “ultimatum “ as Goodwin ie win on Saturday or else? I’ve a feeling that LJ is here for a while though sadly

Says after discussions with senior players they decided to keep him as it appears he still has their backing.

Would Johnson get that backing from our senior players if we done the same I wonder.

I can see why there is a reluctance on the part of both Hibs and Aberdeen to make the change now.

You are essentially throwing a new manager to the wolves. Minimal time to add new faces, fans already agitated and squads bereft of quality and confidence. If they don't make a decent impact then they go into a new season already under pressure.

I'm not saying I agree with it but there may be a feeling it's better to gamble the current gaffer does enough to keep you out the play offs then get him punted in the summer when there is more chance of a genuine clean slate for the new guy.

[WhileTheChief..]

^^If there was a team isolated at the bottom that could maybe work.

As it is, I think that’s a really risky strategy.

[Billy Whizz]

Cormack goes to many games, and seemingly has a twitter account, although I’m not sure he knows much about running a “soccer” club

Our owner appears 4/5 times per year max, and our CEO only seems to talk to Corporate fans. He’s not interested in the ordinary fan

[greenlex]

If you were a manager who desperately needed to win your next game, who would you hope to play?....


Yep.
The idea that Goodwin would want to play Hibs at Easter Road as a final game to save not only your Aberdeen career but arguably you whole managerial career is actually quite laughable and the kind of hyperbole that accompanies a derby defeat or two.

[Onion]

It's laughable that Goodwin has been given Saturday's game against Hibs to save his job, after the Darvel fiasco. LJ and Hibs should see this as the final insult, and should sort them out once and for all with a heavy win. Unlikely to happen, but would be the cherry on top :greengrin

I would rather risk a new manager coming in and assessing what he's got, 4 months to decide who he wants, what he needs etc. Especially in our case, I am absolutely convinced we will pick up enough points to avoid playoff/relegation. More due to others rather than our own deficiencies!!

That said, there's no point in changing the football structure (DoF) if everyone isn't singing from the same hymn sheet so with that in mind. Will we wait until a DoF is appointed before deciding on what lies in store for LJ?

Devil's Advocate here, but MAYBE, that's why there hasn't been a peep from the club.

Toure was very similar to Maloney. Comes in mid season and tries to change to passing football but with a very limited squad.

Both are like a case study in what not to do, for owners and coaches. No attempt to be pragmatic and just get results before implementing your ideas at a pre season

I actually quite like this level of transparency and frankness from their board. Though I’m probably easily swayed given our executive chairman/owner hasn’t made a peep in months.

You call that statement transparent and frank?

Doesn't actually back Goodwin at all.
Has left fans and the media speculating whether a defeat to Hibs would mean the sack.
Doesn't actually say why the club haven't sacked him, other than believing the players back him - the same ones that lost to Darvel and hand of which would be emptied by a new manager.
And Cormack has gone into hiding and refused any interviews.

It's a shocker of a statement.

It's laughable that Goodwin has been given Saturday's game against Hibs to save his job, after the Darvel fiasco. LJ and Hibs should see this as the final insult, and should sort them out once and for all with a heavy win. Unlikely to happen, but would be the cherry on top :greengrin[emoji108]

So I reckon thats now 5 ex-Hibby players or managers, managing in the EFL:

Heckingbottom @ Sheff Utd
Scott Brown @ Fleetwood
Tony Mowbray @ Sunderland
Gary Caldwell @ Exeter
Maloney @ Wigan

Have I missed anybody? and is that a good or a bad thing?

Throw in Brian Rice, Alan Maybury, Ian Murray, James McPake, Paul Hartley and John Rankin up here, and thats quite the list

Think it's a bad call myself to sack him , guy hasn't been in the job even a year and as you say they just let him to spend in January and take in his own people . Unless they have someone like Mauricio pochettino or Thomas Tuchel lined up which I doubt they will probably end up with somebody of the same standard that doesn't know the squad and will need there own people in as well.

the club spent a lot of money getting marsch the players, a lot of them either 1. Yanks or 2. Salzburg players or 3. both, Aaronson cost $30m and though started off well he's been downgraded to the becnh recently, and deservedly so


they had 70% possession at forest yesterday and still lost to the first half chance forest had, so much possession but no end product, Gnonto will be a star i'm sure but they don't half buy some duds, i still maintain they should get shot of DoF victor orta i'm not sure if Marsch can be blamed too much for that result yesterday but before the game i thought if they lost it they would go down, maybe a new manager will have the same effect as marsch had when he came in approx the same time last season and did help steady the sinking ship and stopped the hammerings, double header with man u coming up and i doubt very much they will get anything, leeds fans don't like getting beat from man u at any time so a double loss would send them over the edge :(

I wouldn’t worry about the forest fans .. They will not give a toss as long as they manage to stay up this season , it’s literally as black and white as that for them surely.. 2nd season they maybe try and adopt a different philosophy. But thats why so many suffer 2nd season syndrome

There was rumours though that Rodgers wasn't happy that they weren't backing him in getting the players he wanted Mcginn supposedly being one of them Gerrard imo was just using sevco to get back to the premier league and was always going to jump ship when a premier league club came in .

Ange postecoglou has been getting backed financially and has built a very good team that has only one team to compete against for the league . He has in the past stated he wants to stay and I think he's a manager with integrity and will want to stay as he knows he has a good thing going for himself at parkhead.

Going to Leeds United to be there manager would be a very bad move for Ange postecoglou with the club in relegation trouble and unable to sign any players due to the window being closed. He would basically have to keep them up with what's there already . I think Ange postecoglou is no fool and will know the Leeds United job would be a massive gamble with the risk of the sack at the end of the season as well.

yep with leeds a very fine example of that, 10th First season back then needing a win on the last day of the season to secure their place in the top flight, they just never spent money on the right players to consolidate, spent a lot of money though.

You might be right though the Wigan board only gave the previous manager two months, they also dismissed a manager two weeks after giving him a new 3 year deal which would indicate they are ruthless enough. Wigan have the joint 2nd lowest amount of goals scored and going by Maloney's style of football at us I don't think that will improve under his managerial guidance either .

Will be gone sooner rather than later imo , Spurs just can't seem to get any decent form going , Will probably need to win a cup to keep his job

Would they go for Tuchel? another ex Chelsea manager. They seem to have had plenty

[Donegal Hibby]

How long was Hammell in charge there? Doesn't seem long.
He was appointed manager in August . Doubt Neil Lennon would want that job imo .

Motherwell are in huge trouble. I'm delighted the guy that has overseen it has joined Aberdeen as CEO.

Wonder will Motherwell consider Goodwin?

Think they would take any win right now 😁

Surely we can all agree that it’s utter madness to bring in 8 or 9 players in the January transfer window and then sack the manager less than two weeks into February?

Clearly Motherwell are struggling but no one can succeed in a high profile job without a supportive team around them.

Wonder will Motherwell consider Goodwin?

Surely not, given the total disaster his tenure was at Aberdeen. Their next manager has a tough job ahead of him.

[Stevie Reid]

Hammell’s record was truly awful, 23% win ratio, 58% loss. Only his status at Motherwell kept him in that job so long, especially given the vast majority of those wins were very early on.

Their next two games are St. Mirren and Hearts at home I think, so a new/sacked manager bounce would be well timed.

They appoint on the basis of Sportsound Chum Rating, not actual performance or other quality:greengrin

Crazy stuff. How can you build anything in such a short time. Sacking the manager should be a last resort solution. The fact that boards/owners are making poor choices should be highlighted, however they are always blameless. Hope he gets a good settlement.

No real surprise after yesterday's result at home to Wolves. Being a goal up then losing to 10 men was the final nail in the coffin.

He was - like Hammel probably - the wrong appointment in the first place.

These clubs should take the blame for that.

[Heisenberg]

I was astonished Nathan Jones had ended up in the premier league. Never a good enough manager for that level.

14 games in total but had lost 7 from the last 8

I'm in two minds about it. If they see quickly that it isn't working then the club deserve credit for changing it. On the flip side a manager needs a bit of time. It's a difficult one.

Slightly off topic, but there's a Hammell connection. How was Goncalves able to join Raith on loan from Livi yesterday and score the clinching goal?

I'm sure it's different in the lower leagues, Hibs done it in the championship

With them being lower league, think you can sign players on three month deals (or something around that) outwith the window. Think we did it when we were in the championship with Ambrose.

Thanks, and to 04 Sauzee. Still seems a bit strange that he can then play in an SFA competition against top flight opponents. Good old Scottish football. Meanwhile ICT who were out comp are now in last 8! Maybe Livi should have held on to Goncalves!

He would be free and Motherwell wouldn't have to pay compensation if they nicked another club`s manager
