Who for next manager?

Too late for that - McDermott will be doing the signings

Players could be reluctant to sign, if they don’t know who’s coming in, unless they are OOC or getting a massive increase in salary

There would be about 10k there if he became manager

Lennon is toxic and incompetent and that’s being nice

[SanFranHibs]

It won't be Lennon.

Like many I was delighted when he came to Hibs. Not pretty but did what he had to to get us out of the Championship. A great start to his SPL tenure with us, but all went wrong. Wish him nothing but the best and enjoy listening to his 'punditry'. As far as Hibs are concerned I would leave it there.

Maybe I am just too tired with Scottish football, but I give little credence to 'must know the Scottish game'. The world knows the Scottish game. 2 teams and the rest have little money. We have plenty of examples of coaches that know the Scottish game but did not last long.

No Holmesian deduction behind it, but I think if it is not an 'obvious' appointment like McInnes we will go left field again. Maybe time for a Spanish or Italian name? LOL

[GreenPJ]

I’m presuming with the statement issued, they are hoping to have someone in place for the Killie away game

Out of interest why do you think that from the statement?

[Silky]

We need someone appointed ASAP to give them a chance to bring at least of couple of players of their choice before the transfer window shuts.

Then we can come on here and slate the club for "rushing in", not doing due dilligence and going for the first option available. Let's take the time to get it right.

Same person I wanted years back.

My OP at the time:

"McInnes for me. 53% win rate whilst at Aberdeen, and they had a good strong few years' with him at Aberdeen including League cup win, decent European run, pushed Celtic all the way in 2015/16 in the league, three years' in a row finishing 2nd."

I think with our infrastructure and resources he could do very well here. Plus, he strikes me as a strong leader, which is what we need.

Splash some cash here Hibs. Manager is the most important person at the club. We have a squad of players, many of who could be improved by a good manager, that a decent manager should be able to do a lot better with. We should also have some more signings on the way. Get the right guy in and we could be in a completely different position.

Let's not Jon-Dahl Tomasson it again. Think bigger this time.

[Ozyhibby]

So you want LJ to stay? Not sure what your point is. Both Hecky and Ross were on horrible runs when they were sacked. It’s how football works.

Martindale

Would be on my list alongside McInnes and Robinson. Whenever I’ve seen his teams play, they’re organised, have a clear plan. What he’s done at Livingston has been very impressive considering his budget and what he’s working with. I remember watching a YouTube video about the set up at Livingston that went behind the scenes and he is really working with a shoe string budget. The obvious drawback is his past and connections with Rangers.

Robinson would jump at it, McInnes I'm not so sure... He certainly doesn't need a minor pay rise after his mega salary at Aberdeen, so it's whether or not he thinks Hibs is a better stepping stone to a bigger opportunity than Killie. Doing well on the resources at Rugby Park is maybe more impressive, but all these guys have monster egos and he may well think he's the one that can turn things round for us.
Lennon would probably say yes. He strikes me as having a low threshold for the boredom of early retirement. Not sure what kind of headspace he's in right now. A refreshed and motivated Lennon could be the answer short term but I'd have my doubts about him maintaining his drive and focus.
I just pray we don't get some chancer who's never been to a game in Scotland channeling the intensity of Arteta and quoting from the Pep handbook...

:agree: Keep reading similar posts. It’s lazy imo. Unless you know exactly what he’s doing on a day to day basis I don’t know how anyone can come to the conclusion that he’s part of the problem. Our last 3 managers have trusted him as a coach, our current DoF rates him too. None of that is based on him scoring the winner in the Cup Final.

Whether he’d be a good manager I have no idea and if the new manager (assuming we plan on appointing someone else) doesn’t rate him he will move on. Until then I want him at the club and am happy for him to take charge on an interim basis.

Hopefully Chris Hogg is filling Liam Mannings head with positives about ER.

Young manager, sets up a decent team, got MK Dons to the promotion play-offs and currently has Oxford leading a tight group at the head of League One.

Career-wise, a move to Hibs would be another step forward. If he makes a decent fist of it, we will probably lose him to a top-half Championship side but hopefully not before he has gotten us into Europe a couple of times and been at the business end of the Cups.

[Keepthefaith]

He may be doing a decent job but there is zero chance we will appoint a manager from the National League.

I understand why, but as I used to live there I've followed them a bit since and have been impressed with him as a person, manager and style he's implemented. No guarantees that someone from a higher level will do better...

[A Hi-Bee]

If Kensell is involved he'll appoint someone who has a track record in the league. I can't see him taking a chance on an unknown, if it goes wrong he's absolute toast.

It will be either Robinson or McInness IMO. I'd prefer McInness but I think Robinson is more likely to take it, so I think it will be him.

If no to Neil Lennon, then I would like to see a Spanish or Italian manager, dont even need to be able to speak the lingo just know about the game.
:nlgwa

[hibbie02]

You have them the wrong way around.

I don’t think so. Our defence is a shambles, our midfield is merely hopeless. With the number of goals being shipped, it is clear we have a major issue, particularly from crosses. Having a hopeless midfield doesn’t help mind!

Tricky choice for Hibs IMO. I'm not convinced that any 1 of the 3 I'd be interested in having as manager would even go for the job, McInnes, Cifuentes and Michael O'Neill.

What’s the chat with Cifuentes? What has be done to make him appealing?

I’m not against the idea, a foreign manager is the route I’d like us to go down, I just don’t know much about him other than he was linked with Aberdeen and Hearts.

Our current defence will be just fine if the new manager can sort out the midfield.

Lennon would be a bonkers appointment for all sorts of reasons posted in this and other threads. Patchy record at Hibs and elsewhere despite some highlights. If we didn't like LJ throwing players under the bus, we don't want the king of deflection doing this on steroids again.

He took Hammarby to 3rd in Sweden last season and presumably a European place, they're currently 6th in the Swedish top league I think.

[Donegal Hibby]

I see one of the papers has a list of possible candidates for the Hibs job . Two mentioned are foreign manager's who I don't know Marty Cifuentes and Oscar Garcia. Anyone know anything about them ? . Btw Mark Warburton's on it too ! Any takers on him ? Be handy as we already have a song about him :greengrin

Although I have a soft spot for Ross and think Mcinnes is a good manager I don't want any from that list. They'd all be a bit meh. It's a chance for the club to go and make a real statement. Someone to get the fans excited. There will be a lot of applicants, some surprising ones. We are a very attractive club for many reasons. It's a good opportunity for us.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I literally have no idea. I know who I don't want, but I'm stumped as to who could come in here and do the job we want.

Not just be better than Ross, Maloney or Johnson, but actually do what we want ... IE consistently high league positions, European qualification / group stages, win a cup every 5 years or so and improve our massively improvable derby record.

McInnes could be that man, but his cup record with the 3rd biggest budget in the league for 13 years is hardly impressive ... one league cup win right at the very start of that 13 years.
If his cup record was better EG one more league cup win and a Scottish cup win to add to that then he'd be a no brainer .... but he only made one Scottish cup final in all his time at Aberdeen and 3 league cup finals. For context in far less time and with far less money Fenlon made two SC finals and Stubbs made a SC and LC final.

He might make us more consistent in the league, but in the only two competitions we have anything like a realistic chance of actually winning his record as manager of the 3rd richest club in the league in the time he had is frankly a bit pants.

[bingo70]

Johnson's personality was unpopular but Pardew is on another level.

Shamrock rovers are a big club in the League of Ireland . He is doing a good job though it would be a massive gamble and one I wouldn't be keen on as I think we'd be going into the territory of hiring another Pat Fenlon possibly .

Stephen Kenny is another who done remarkable well as a manager in the league of Ireland though didn't last long at Dunfermline and quite frankly I think he's out of his depth as Ireland manager too .

I honestly think we should stay away from such a risky appointment tbh like Stephen Bradley or the larne manager . My own choices for our job would be Graham Arnold or Liam Manning .

You're the one that needs to get a grip, he's a racist among other things. The texts are appalling and he should be nowhere near our club. Good people don't say the things he's said. Moaned about there being too many black players on a shortlist. He's racist, misogynistic, anti semitic and that's only what we've seen. Go have a read of the texts again and tell me I'm the one that needs to get a grip.

Aye. Don't care what anyone says, someone that sends texts like that should be nowhere near our club. We all make mistakes but a mistake isn't being racist, misogynistic and anti semitic. That's a character flaw and one we shouldn't accept at Hibs, even if he's done a anti racism course. Seem to remember quite a few saying they'd no be back at ER if he was hired last time round, and rightly so. Would be an insult to the fans.

If it is true, whether SB would want it or not is another matter.

I understand why people are saying Robinson however I get the feeling he is the kind of manager is would always be better at a smaller club who are more underdogs and punching above their weight, I am not so sure how he would manage a better team with higher expectations
