A lot of managers wouldn't have started Fish today. Schoolboy error by the rookie.

The worst argument for not changing the manager is we can't keep changing manager or a new manager won't improve us.

What is very obvious is we are going completely in the wrong direction and someone needs to stop the slide.

A new manager would surely have had us watched and realised where we are are so weak and poor ( majority of the team - especially the CB and CM area).

[bingo70]

Graham Arnold wanted it before, he’d be my choice but I suspect his successful World Cup put pay to that.

What’s happened to Kjell Knutsen? Was loads of hype about him for ages but all gone quiet, has his team started to struggle? Could he be ready for a change of scenery?

We could do worse though. We need a manager who can manage upwards and drag Ron and co into setting up a proper footballing structure.

I think for me it would bring a bit of stability and fight back into a club that is really struggling. Players seem to love playing for them and they always seem to get their man.

Both know the league inside out, will know our weaknesses and where we need to improve and will likely know available players to improve us quickly.

My biggest concern if the club choose to sack Johnson is that whoever they bring in will want to give everyone a clean slate to only realise in a couple of months they’re rotten. They’ll trust the recruitment that *insert random player* is a real coup and is a good player, only to realise they’re rotten and can’t fully trust their recommendations.

For the past year we’ve been so soft and unorganised, I think those two would come in and flip it and relatively quick.

Martindale is a proven mid table manager who has all the tactical genius of a Butcher or Williamson imo and is no better than what we have in charge at the minute . His teams are highly defensive and lump the ball up ,hoping for something to happen . As well as having one of the most unsavoury pasts of any SPFL manager due to being a convicted drug dealer I suppose he's fine . McInnes record is much better though watching his teams style of football is normally honking though if that's what you all want to watch and the kind of people you want at our football club , fair enough , though I don't want either and especially not someone with the morals of Martindale.

Cannot see anyone of any credence or credibility taking the managers job at Hibs just now.

The clubs reputation within the game must be embarrassing. Once any candidate know's the current recruitment structure with the owner's son at the helm and the huge, dire squad they will inherit they won't go near it.

Hibs is still a desirable job. It's just not at present due to the catalogue of managers we have had, with Ron and his son in charge.

Ron can easily go out and get someone else, they just won't be any good.

I'd find both McInnes and Martindale two very disappointing choice's for a new manager and no better than we have now, both have there team's playing the type of football I'd normally change over channels from if they were on TV , I'd even stop following Hibs while Martindale was incharge purely for his past ! I think 3rd place is gone now but I genuinely believe we can still get 4th . I probably in the minority here but I still think we should give Johnson the January window, I really feel he knows we aren't good enough now and as you said taking in a new manager now he will want to access the whole squad again and would be like taking 2 or 3 steps backwards ,if it comes to Johnson being sacked I'd go along the route of Graham Arnold or someone like that. I don't really go along with the unorganised part of your post but do agree we are soft and making to many individual errors like today , midfields soft and defense weak , recruitment has been shambolic to say the least and LJ has stated this also !

We operate in the unemployed managers market and anything we can offer is more than they’re currently earning, as well as that most managers would back themselves to turn around an underperforming club. It’s also a free swing for them as if they fail they’ll just say it’s because we’ve got trigger happy owners.

I believe they (bodo/glimt) missed out on the title last season, his family are very settled in the area and has an amazing relationship with the board, source : my best friend is a big bodo/glimt fan and was asking about him and his coaching style/history and how bodo/glimt got successful.

[JammyDoidger]

Neil Lennon, don't even consider anyone else.

[Paul1642]

Copy the Celtic model with Ange Postecoglou and go for a non European.

Yes he has the huge budget but it’s his knowledge of the Japanese league (as well as obviously being a good manager) that has enabled him to sign some really good players without competition from other teams. Any Scottish or English manager with only Uk knowledge that we sign is going to have the same problem signing players as all the previous ones, in that if they are doing well in the UK several other teams with bigger budgets will be after them.

There must be some really good South American, Asian or African managers who would love a change at managing in the Uk.

Any Scottish / English manager that we can realistically get is going to be unproven, failed at a recent job or on other clubs radars.

It’s Hibs we support surely ..not who the manager is ….

Based on the current model he would be gone by next season so I would be free to return.

Pfft..stopping watching your team because you don’t agree with who the assistant manager is …

[Hibs90]

Quite the cliche that but it’s not true.

That wasn’t the best team that could have been played today and that’s nothing to do with anybody apart from the manager.

I agree. He should be doing much better than what he has. He is a part of the overall problem.

[Mcbizz1998]

Stubbs or Lennon but dont think either would come back

Stubbs would I reckon, I think he massively regrets leaving when he did.

[Bridge hibs]

If Kevin Thomson becomes part of the next coaching team I reckon that will be it for me for the rest of the season.
I will be muting his ****ing interviews for starters

[Donegal Hibby]

He actually got sacked a couple of months ago.

Did well there last season though.

I don't think we'll hire or want either, just stating they will probably be interested in the job.
Didn't know he was sacked , had noticed he had done well last year and had him as a potential candidate for the Hibs job before LJ got it , seems to have gone really badly wrong for him there .

[Unseen work]

Liam manning was really highly rated at MK Dons and looking at the fans reaction when they sacked him the general consensus seemed to be he was let down by the recruitment in the summer.

Sounds familiar

[greenginger]

If lee is punted I reckon Steve Kean could get the interim job, and depending on results could get a longer run.

But who knows:dunno:

[B.H.F.C]

I really think it needs to be an interim appointment to see us through the last 18 league games and keep us up.

There are far bigger issues than the manager so we need to fix them before handing out another long contract to a manager.

Staying up is literally all that matters for the remainder of this season.

[GreenCastle]

Dean Smith - just been sacked by Norwich who we played pre-season.

Bielsa would be the dream!

BTW these aren't serious suggestions.

Interim managers are pointless, see Ragnick at Man Utd where it was just treading water. If he goes we need a permanent coming in to stamp their mark on it all where there is still a transfer window open.

Unfortunately, We would be as well saying Pep. Smith was on about 2M a year at Norwich ..Biesla 2-3 times that …

At the risk of coming across totally delusional, we’re 3 points off 4th.

Where we’re at just now is miles off that of course but with the right appointment we could kick on from here. This season isn’t a complete right off yet.

Bielsa would be dream!He will probably get the Stoke job when Alex Neil gets his jotters

Then theres Alex Neil again

[bingo70]

Danny Cowley sacked by Portsmouth.

Sure he was highly rated a while ago and think we may have been interested in him before too,

[AdidasHibernian]

Always rated Cowley and seems a decent bloke also

I suppose we could end up pushing for fourth almost by default because the rest of the league is so dire (a bit like Dundee Utd and Motherwell last season).

That said, I can’t see where a single win is coming from never mind the 6 or 7 we’d need for that to be a possibility.

If we can knock Hearts out of the cup and have safety guaranteed, I’d take that right now.

I think with the right team selection we could quite conceivably win the next two games.

[mcfly]

You can’t just keep sacking managers…..

Pep guardiola wouldn’t win games with this team

Can’t defend, can’t score, no fight

Problem at hibs is mediocre players…

Lessons have not been learned. Ron told us we would be challenging for Europe. Sorry this team without major improvements will be relegated. All teams will fancy there chances v hibs.

Why not throw in a date with Kelly Brook while you are at it😂.

[LaMotta]

I’d take Ian Murray

Why?

Definitely a professional 😬

We can't change the whole squad this month though.

We need results this season and it doesn't seem like LJ knows how to get these players playing to win any points.

Anyone else coming in simply can'd do as badly. The only reason anyone is saying to stick with LJ is because we can't keep sacking managers.

I don't see why not? If we're going to stick with one, at least make it someobody that can get us winning games!!

That Bodies well then 😉

Well played!

[LeithMike]

Someone who knows what it takes to succeed in Scottish football and can tell the Gordon’s how the club needs to be run rather than the other way about. That’s McInnes for me. I appreciate he’s not perfect but I liked the way Aberdeen played - at least with Hayes and McGinn - and the worst thing on his cv is a fourth place with Aberdeen.

We also know he wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole unless he was assured of control.

Otherwise, I can’t really think of anyone who will prosper in the setup we have.

I'd love Strachan. I doubt he'd want the hassle though.

As long as he brings his son with him 😈

[WestCoastHibby]

Mike Bassett
At least he sounded like a manager not Joe Pasquale

[007]

Heard the next manager will be a lettuce as it'll last longer.

[WestCoastHibby]

How about Chris Wilder.

We are either going to get an inexperienced manager or damaged goods. Wilder did struggle a bit at Middlesbrough but had an excellent spell at Sheffield Utd for a few years.

Straight talker, a world apart from Johnson and would chase numerous of our lightweights out the door.
We’ve more chance getting Gene Wilder

[007]

Stubbs or Lennon but dont think either would come back

I think Stubbs would if he was offered it.

[Forza Fred]

Graham Arnold wanted it before, he’d be my choice but I suspect his successful World Cup put pay to that.

What’s happened to Kjell Knutsen? Was loads of hype about him for ages but all gone quiet, has his team started to struggle? Could he be ready for a change of scenery?

Failing that I’d give it a go as long as I could still go to mad dogs on a
Friday night without getting grief.

I would probably not have thought it a good idea appointing Arnie a couple of months ago but his World Cup has proved that he was able to get a pretty mediocre squad of players play to a level that surprised everyone.

Dunno if that could be replicated and sustained on club level

I remember looking into his background before when we were linked with him before and on paper his club record is excellent.

Is there any good up and coming Australian manager? Huge generalisation I know but I love the Australians attitude to sport and think it’s a good fit for our country. I know Kisnorbo just joined Troyes, Muscat doing well I think, anybody else?

I’m with you on that. Love the Aussies attitude. Wouldn’t be disappointed with Arnold.

Steven Gerrard 😂

[Gatecrasher]

Steven Gerrard ��

I know your laughing but I'd have him at Hibs, he's a high profile manager and had rangers playing good football that suited the league. Probably we'll out of our price range though.

[Iain G]

I know your laughing but I'd have home at Hibs, he's a high profile manager and had rangers playing good football that suited the league. Probably we'll out of our price range though.

Will Ian Beale be coming with him though?

[bingo70]

Will OGS be ready to get back into management yet?

Is he out our league now or has he been out the game for too long and needs to get a job soon to be relevant again?

[Sir David Gray]

I'd say there's absolutely no chance of attracting someone like that to the Hibs job.

Interesting that you mention him. The rumour I heard was that we sounded him out when he was with Molde.

Might sound mental but I wouldn’t want OGS, I think he’d be terrible for us.

He was found out as soon as Beale went to go on his own, he was the brains behind it all. But yeah, zero chance.

Can I relate a light hearted story from 2008.
It was the day of the Chelsea v Man U Europen Cup final in Moscow.
I was golfing at Allwoodley in Leeds and passed David O'Leary on the course who was a member.
He was out of work and we were managerless( someone will tell us who had just left and who we got)
I asked him if he was interested. He smiled and said Edinburgh was a lovely city.

Mixu was in charge for all of 2008 apart from 11 days in January

It’s so obvious that it’s ridiculous, but the sanctimonious among us won’t have him.

Malkay McKay.

You seen the table?

[darwenhibby]

We need someone in the Alex McLeish mode
This time LJ did not buy himself time like Duff Jimmy did with a draw at Tyncastle.
Who?? God knows as there are no obvious candidates out there
But this time we might get the Gunn Skinner Brebner type players earlier to push us back up the table before it’s too late
I think McInnes

[ozwoody]

As someone else said, I think Graham Arnold would be a good shout.
Won titles in both Australia and Japan, managed in Asian Champions league, been involved in 2 world cups, taking a team largely unfancied into the play off's and just got beat by eventual winners.
He's a great man manager and motivator too, and always seems to get the players playing above and beyond.
He's also not afraid to take tough decisions as was shown by not choosing his son in law or the widely thought best Australian keeper to Qatar
