Who for next manager?

[SeanWilson]

Why is his suggestion woke?

Because it comes with the times we live in. If she had managed say, a men’s team in say, a competitive league…. I’d suggest she would be in the frame as much as the next person.

[Alex Trager]

Even hibs could beat the Spanish woman’s team. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Stop the woke nonsense.

Woke. What does woke mean?

[Hibbyradge]

What type of managers are Arnie and Montgomery?

I think they're football managers, mate.


Sorry.

Awareness of inequality.

[CapitalGreen]

Arnie is well liked by his squad, but not universally liked by the punters it must be said.
The general feeling going into the World Cup was that it was probably the poorest squad in recent times and an early elimination was on the cards.
However Arnie instilled a belief in them and they went further than a squad before them.
The famous French football paper L’Equipe awarded him a trophy for best manager in the finals.

Montgomery is undoubtedly the top coach in Oz.
He manages Central Coast Mariners…..a ‘provincial, club with close to the lowest budget in the league…and won the Championship with them beating Melbourne City6-1 in the Grand Final.
He should have got Manager of the Year, but surprisingly didn’t…and even the guy who did get it acknowledging in his acceptance speech that Monte should have got it.
Monte is a Scottish under 21 internationalist who played for Sheffield Utd,
He keeps the Mariners afloat by annually producing a string of young players from the youth set up who are on sold, and manages to identify and bring in experienced players from around the world, while not breaking the budget.
He coached Lewis Miller until he joined us, Garang Kuol was sold to Newcastle, and last season he had one go to Middlesbrough and another to Sunderland and a third to Aberdeen.
He is the guy who took a ‘broken’ Jason Cummings and turned him into a World Cup player…..forget the Jason you think left Scotland..he was a player reborn.
Jason on more than one occasion before he left for big money said that Monte changed his life and that if he had coached him when he was younger he would have been playing in the EPL now!
The players and fans love him, and he has had previous offers which he has knocked back…..Mariners chairman said he was glad he didn’t go to Motherwell as he expects him to manage in the EPL one day.
All heady stuff……..I know….
He certainly ticks all the boxes….but I’m not sure Hibs would be brave enough to appoint him just now…..the punters seem to want to stick to their opinion that the incoming manager must have SPFL experience…..although why you would limit your choices baffles me sometimes.
There may well be better candidates, I don’t know who is on the short list…….but he is certainly worthy of consideration.

[JimBHibees]

Must admit I feel a bit for Kevin Thomson.

Started out on his own doing his own coaching academy, went to rangers where he was full time doing their B team and then done what he considered to be the right thing to do by testing himself at Kelty Hearts - a challenge most in full time employment would probably be too scared to take on.

He went to Kelty and won the league in style.

Imo he speaks really well, gets the club, is so set on his style of play and what he wants from his squad that I genuinely believe he would be a success.

But because he went to Kelty it almost falls into the “does he deserve it, he’s only managed Kelty” type of chat.

People wanted John Kennedy.
Robson got the Aberdeen job.
Naismith (plus 2 🤣) got the Hearts job
Mowbray and Stubbs both for the Hibs

All without managing a first team before.

Im not saying he’s my pick and I appreciate some are sour about something he done when he was a young lad, but he’s changed since then and I would recommend people listen to some of the interviews he’s done

Why did he leave Kelty? Seemed strange

For me it's not a question of limiting choices, it's about minimizing the risk. Taking into account the recent history of our club and the situation we find ourselves in.

We need a coach to come in and work with the players we have. No prospect of new signings until January. They've no pre-season, they're straight in at the deep end and need results immediately.

Someone trying to adapt to this league/country is starting at a disadvantage. They need time that we don't have. If we were starting from a position of relative strength, I'm all for taking a risk and casting the net wide. But we did that with Maloney. We then went down the English manager route and clearly sections of our support don't want that again after Johnson and Hecky.

There also isn't some mythical Ange equivalent out there. Aberdeen and Hearts have both recruited coaches recently.......Marti Cifuentes was the candidate from left field. They didn't take him and I don't see why we would.

We need stability and someone to hit the ground running. There are never any guarantees but someone with experience of the league would be best placed IMO.

Of all the names I’ve heard banded about, this is the one I’d be happiest with currently.

[Hibee87]

Don't know anything about this Nick Montgomery, but certainly has a good read. The owner at his clubs comments about not wanting to let him manage in the SPFL because he is capable of managing in the Prem is pretty disrespectful to the scottish league.

IF he has the capabilities to manage in the EPL then where better a place than at us to make that move. Comes here, does well for a year or 2 and gets a move to say a championship club, then om to the EPL If he is as good as been made out. That to me would be the reasonable stepping stone as a manager would be a desired path.

[WhileTheChief..]

The person using the word woke or the person suggesting we go for a female manager?

You know they’re not serious about it and are simply looking for a reaction.

We absolutely should not be going for her. The only reason she’s been mentioned is because she’s female.

[Golden Bear]

Why did he leave Kelty? Seemed strange

It's very simple. He was promised significant funds in order to improve the squad further which didn't materialise. He obviously felt he was let down and subsequently resigned.

[Greencore]

I would be happy with Montgomery or Arnold.

.. or Lennon.

We're not operating in the same market as Celtic. Brendan Rogers was a coach who nearly won the league with Liverpool. Ange came in and spent £30m to buy players to fit his approach. Different planet to Hibs.

Nick Montgomery is a coach who has about 60 games under his belt, in a league where Jason Cummings was the best player last season. He could work out great but is that a risk worth taking?

Not having a go here though you mentioned Scott Brown as a possibility, how many games as a coach has he had?

[Tyler Durden]

Yes he's a similarly inexperienced coach. But Scott Brown has massive experience in Scotland as a player, (and a connection as an ex player) which obviously is the main strength that he would bring.

He also improved Fleetwood last season and had a good FA Cup run. He's had a poor start this season but they've had 2 away games to some of the favourites for that league in Derby and Bolton. Fleetwood are happy with him, he's not long extended his deal.

EDIT - I also think the fans would quickly get behind Brown, which isn't necessarily the case for other candidates.

[Ronniekirk]

Derek Mcinnes.

I reckon he’d get us 3rd/4th quite comfortably up against hearts and Aberdeen’s management teams

I think whoever it was would have some sort of connection to McDermott though.

the last bit I agree with McDermott will have a leading role in who we appoint as manager and who we bring in player wise
Our fate is in his
hands at the present If we have got that appointment wrong then we really are in trouble
So far it’s too early re his signings to tell

[He's here!]

Sarina Wiegman taken England as far as she can. Will she want to wait another 4 years before trying again for the WC, or accept an new challenge.? And Hibs would be a real challenge.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think she'll think she's taken them as far as she can. She'll want to add a World Cup win to the Euros, especially after also falling at the final hurdle with the Netherlands.

Not only could we not afford her, she'd be looking for a bigger job than Hibs if she left England.

There's no appointment that would, as others have said, stop me going to ER. But if McKay gets it I would find it very difficult to get behind him. Not only for his past but I just don't see what he has done that's so special. RC were brutal last year and Partick were 29 mins and a implosion away from relegating them.

I've always been against McInnes before but I think now is the time for him at Hibs. 3 or so years of steadiness and finishing in top 3/4/5 and a decent cup run every year allied to the off field improvement sees us in a decent place going forward

I'm finding this a bit weird. Primarily I don't care who they appoint as long as they get it right in respect of putting someone in place who makes us a lot better than we currently are. They're the Board, it's their job to get it right this time.

However if it is McInnes I will feel like we have appointed a grown-up with the experience needed who could be ready to blossom into a really good manager with all the experience under his belt. I'd live with that.

If it's Lennon then that's likely a wild ride which would have enough highs to balance out any lows. I'd live with that.

If it's Scott Brown then it's a kind of Teenage Kicks redux and for all his inexperience I do think Scott 'gets Hibs' and would be likely to take little to no 5hit from underperforming and/or undertraining players. I'd live with that too.

What I definitely don't want is some clever experiment and most certainly not with a bull****ter, wallflower or Cathroesque word salad. Let's take a break from apparently passionless managers.

I’m not particularly keen on Brown but I’d be surprised if he wasn’t on our shortlist. No particularly sure why, I just think he will be.

I think McInnes would be top of the list but that’ll be a non starter. Pure guess work but I think our new manager will come from one of Arnold, Lennon, Brown or Robinson.

Not sure Brown is a rookie in the Maloney sense anyway, he’s got a full season under his belt.

Brown is probably one of those candidates that we either take now or it doesn’t happen; if he does well at Fleetwood, before you know it he’s a manager in the Championship down there, if he does badly… then we probably don’t want him!

Not sure I’d go out of my way to get him, but I wouldn’t be upset if we did.

Well, Scott Brown is a winner and a strong personality. He would command respect. He gets Hibs no doubt. He is a former player. He understands the Scottish context. All positive. However he has minimal experience, but our previous manager had huge experience. Its an inexact science. If I was shortlisting, a candidate like Brown would get on the shortlist

[makaveli1875]

Browns an interesting 1 . Wouldn't be my 1st choice but I would be on board with it . Midfielder leaves hibs for Celtic , comes back as manager and wins a trophy . The scripts been written before

[Brightside]

Marti Cifuentes for me. Hearts had a sniff about him but went for the cheap option. Knows how to set up a team. Current team have a decent scoring average and just as importantly let in less than 1 on average.

A young guys with plenty to prove. This could be an excellent stepping stone for him.

[The Tubs]

I'd probably be more up for Brown than any of the other suggestions. Even if it was his first job, he wouldn't be nervous. I can still remember his debut.

A young manager like Brown possibly makes more sense with our current structure than someone like Arnold who has all the experience in the world. Brown having BM to lean on could be a useful combination.

He wouldn’t be my first choice, I’d still rather go for Montgomery or Arnold but I’d be open minded about a young manager like Brown.

FWIW I don’t think there’s any chance it’ll be Brown.

Maloney had coached at Belgium for years with some of the top players in the world, I don't think him and Brown are miles apart in terms of their overall management experience.

Agree both are inexperienced and there's not much difference between them in the amount of games they have coached so far though I would say Montgomery probably has a better record at winning games and improving player's . I don't think playing in a league or having a connection with a club is all that much of advantage tbh as I remember Mixu , Sauzee and Yogi had both too . Watched this today on Montgomery and his team and found it interesting.

Maloney had coached at Belgium for years with some of the top players in the world, I don't think him and Brown are miles apart in terms of their overall management experience.

I think what Maloney did was a lot different to what is required in managing players day to day.

[Rosevillehibby]

Agree both are inexperienced and there's not much difference between them in the amount of games they have coached so far though I would say Montgomery probably has a better record at winning games and improving player's . I don't think playing in a league or having a connection with a club is all that much of advantage tbh as I remember Mixu , Sauzee and Yogi had both too . Watched this today on Montgomery and his team and found it interesting.

I think the fans will get behind most any manager if they are successful on the pitch. We were 3rd under Jack Ross and half the posters on here wanted him.out because the football was boring.

[Hibbyradge]

I don't care who gets the gig, to be honest.

I just hope they're successful enough to be poached by a wealthier club rather than sacked or mutually consented.

[Libby Hibby]

We were 3rd under Jack Ross and half the posters on here wanted him.out because the football was boring.

We weren’t 3rd when he got sacked. We were on an awful run and our Covid outbreak and the win v Rangers saved him for a few weeks.

[Trinity Hibee]

Football might not have been great but most don’t care when you are winning the majority of the time and getting 3rd. People want a manager out when they aren’t playing good football and aren’t achieving results which is where Jack Ross got to.

Goes back to the ‘good football’ argument. It very rarely exists in many cases.

[SHODAN]

Of the sixteen managers we've had this century:

Four (McLeish, Williamson, Mowbray, Stubbs) left to join another club
Two (Collins, Fenlon) resigned
Three (Paatelainen, Hughes, Lennon) left by mutual consent
Seven (Sauzee, Calderwood, Butcher, Heckingbottom, Ross, Maloney, Johnson) were sacked

[McIntosh]

We should never have got rid of Neil Lennon, a winner and that is what we need, backbone, determination and drive. No sentiment, no one untried we need the real deal.

[MrRobot]

We can’t be serious about wanting Brown with his record. We need experience, not somebody else just making their way as a manager.

Mark Warburton an “outside” contender for Hibs job. The Herald have tipped the Englishman as an “outside” contender for the role following his summer release from a coaching role at Premier League West Ham United. Mark Warburton was actually thorn in the side of Hibs during his first season in charge of Rangers, helping the Ibrox side to Championship promotion at the expense of the Leith outfit.

Funny! No mention of him winning the Scottish Cup!

All this chat about experience and we won’t get a rookie - Lee Johnson had managed over 450 games before joining Hibs, nearly 80 at Sunderland. That worked out for us eh?

Interesting list . Often little difference between sacked and mutual consent and even the departures of those those who left for other clubs had question marks . Was Williamson not really pushed ? Think he went to Plymouth . I remember going to a Spain v Russia game at Euro 2004 in Portugal and an English guy with a Plymouth Argyle flag sat next to me ( there were loads of English fans at all games there ) and I almost shook his hand for his club taking Williamson off us . Williamson maybe a warning of what we should expect if we take a dour ex Rangers player as manager from Killie .

I had hoped he was under consideration last time round. I checked out what the MK Dons forums had to say about him at the time and they seemed really positive, resigned to the fact that he was on an upward trajectory. Very happy with the way he had the team playing.

I would be happy for us to give him an opportunity - he's got experience despite his youth, he has a solid pedigree in player development and he is looking for the next step, which is the chance to do well and secure himself a move to the likes of a top-half Championship side. From there he would be in with a chance for promotion and he is in the EPL, giving him the chance to progress further.

Throw in that he would likely be accompanied by Chris Hogg - a cup winner, POTY and club captain in his time at Hibs - and it all sounds good to me.

[Lago]

I know he’s only just in to his second season but I don’t think he’s comparable to Maloney. He’s actually done the job and I think he has other things going for him that Maloney didn’t. Not that I want him but I think he’ll be one we consider.

Yeah agree , I was hoping we'd be considering him too . Done well in Belgium to with Lommel . His team's play good attacking football and a ex hibby being his assistant would be a bonus too .. would be an exciting appointment imo .

[Callum_62]

Lennon's reign ended poorly (when does it not)

I did always think he might be better suited to us now we have loosened the purse strings and he did have a habit of making some really good signings ( Celtic and Hibs) - ofcourse not every one worked out

He wouldn't be my first choice but I certainly wouldn't be kicking up a fuss if he ends up coming back

I don't think he's had Garry parker as his assistant so I wonder who that would be? Maybe an ex Celtic captain?

Don’t see how it wouldn’t end the same way; him stomping off in the huff because under it all, he thinks he’s bigger than Hibs.

The facts are he inherited a great squad from Rodgers and it only took him a year to begin dismantling it into a total disaster and threw away the 10 in a row season. This constant pish that he’s a winner neglects to ever recognise that his last successes have come on the back of two brilliant squads he inherited.

To be honest, it's about time someone at Hibs lost the plot. If we appoint another nicey nicey nobody again we'll be playing in front of 8000 before long.

Trust the view of our longest serving 1st team player when he says out of the multitude of Managers Lennon was the best he has played under.

[JammyDoidger]

Doesn't matter who we announce as manager there will be no pleasing everyone, I'd rather it was a household name and someone we know is capable which Lennon has proven he is. Reckon a year or 2 year deal to begin with is sensible. More than happy if it's Lennon.

[Stevie Reid]

Lennon wouldn’t be my first choice this time round, but I absolutely loved his previous stint, and wouldn’t be against a return.

[Vault Boy]

Every part of me knows that I should probably be against Lennon returning given the number of red flags there were towards the end of his first spell. I recognise that we no longer have a player of McGinn’s quality, I recognise there’s no longer the cup bounce helping the morale, and I recognise that Neil Lennon is hardly a modern, progressive, or particularly tactically astute coach… yet…

I like him.

I don’t even hold him in the highest regards as a manager, particularly following his last spell at Celtic, yet I’m still just quite warm to the idea of him coming back. Honestly, I think it’s mostly because I disliked Johnson so much. But I’ll say this much, the fact that Lewis Stevenson has him down as his favourite Hibs manager means something to me. He’s seen it all at Hibs and there must be something in that.

Anyway, he was closely linked before and it got shut down pretty quick, so there’s probably nothing to it.

[ElginHibbie]

I'm not against Lennon, but know there is a shelf life with him before things will eventually go wrong

With him we will do, at worst, ok this season, but whether or not he would make it to end of following season without it falling apart I wouldn't be sure

Wouldn't be dull whatever happens at least

[Unseen work]

I just get the feeling Lennon doesn’t have the same enthusiasm or that anymore - could be miles off with that.

But would he be coming back with a point to prove? A real desire to do well or just as a job?

I wonder who from Celtic he would try get, either current or ex players.

Would also be interesting how he’d deal with Youan, who we know can be hugely frustrating but also brilliant. Would he hang him out to dry in press/moan about him?

[Donegal Hibby]

Yes he was and he did go on to win the league after taking over from Brendan Rodgers who was successful and had a good team though what happened after that ? He spent over £30 million quid on players and lost the league .
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-spent-31m-transfer-fees-22972833

Most of my mates are Celtic fans over here and they were delighted when he left . One said he went back to parkhead to a good team the previous manager had and his signings were poor which lost them a ten in a row ( as article shows).

Your last part is true in we will have moments under him like last time though my worry is it will all go to s*** and end badly again. Maybe if we back him more than Celtic did yes we will have success :wink:

[Crutch]

Lennon for me. And if you asked me that 6 months ago I’d have said no chance…

This team needs a bit of life kicked into it. A fear factor, a bit of mild chaos. Lennon brings baggage no doubt but he knows the league, knows the club and knows what it takes to get results in big games.

He’s also a guy with a serious point to point to prove. Get himself a level-headed, player focused number 2 along side him to balance the approach and I think we could be on to something.

[bingo70]

Just had a look at Lennons wiki page to see how he got on in Cyprus, not great obviously as he got sacked quite quickly but struck me that his teams have always got a big performance in them. For them to put out Gent 4-0 as well as good displays against Man Utd and Sociedad shows he’s not a dummy, same applies to them winning their cup.

With the right structure and support behind him, I think it could work. Coming in as the transfer window closes wouldn’t be ideal though.

I think our squad has more to it than the one he left the first time he was here, which might help. We’re still in obvious need of a couple of strong signings in midfield and defence, but I think the front 3/4 we have at our disposal would suit Lennon.

Still, I’m sure there must be better candidates that we can tempt and I hope we do that. But I won’t be devastated if he returns.

Though what happened when senior players reportly went to Dempster about the bust up ? . Having a manager that could lose the plot at anytime like this one did before and rehiring him isn't exactly making any progress imo 🤔

The same thing would of happened if Rodgers had stayed. He new what was coming and jumped ship. That club was turning into a mess. There was a Director getting his home fire bombed. Players wanting to leave but Celtic not playing ball and all of the rest of the crap that went on. Lennon was just the fall guy. But he didn't hide. We will see how Rodgers gets on with the Celtic faithful this season. Who knows they might need to come chapping at our door again. if Brenda goes walkabout out again.

A blind man could have steered Celtic to the title when he returned. If I recall correctly, I’m sure he even made a hard job of that. The ten in a row season was an unmitigated disaster.

Where was this backbone in the Hibs team when he left? You’re fantasising.

Agree both are inexperienced and there's not much difference between them in the amount of games they have coached so far though I would say Montgomery probably has a better record at winning games and improving player's .

I can't see how Lennon would be a positive, progressive manager who would help us build for the next 3 or 4 years, he would be a short, sharp shock and would expect us to be looking for a new manager again next summer, if not sooner.

We need someone to build this thing back up again and aim for sustained success, and that's just not Lennon.

It is more than likely to be "filler" for newspapers to get clicks than have any real substance. Probably someone looking at Lennon's comment he would "consider" coming back to ER, putting 2+2 together and getting hopelessly carried away.

I doubt Hibs would just jump right in with one candidate, more likely to work from a shortlist and conduct an interview process. I've no doubt loads of names have already put themselves forward, either directly or via agents.

[thebausburst]

Personally I’d be very happy to have Lennon back, his managerial record blows anyone else we could realistically get completely out the water. If it’s a choice between Lennon or another of Hibs lower English league experiment appointments I know which I prefer.

[eastmainsmsh]

Happy if Lenny there was a buzz around place on matchdays etc he will know himself that it didn’t end well last time but fresh start if appointed

[Trinity Hibee]

Better the devil you know. I’d prefer mcinnes but if we can’t get him then I’d take Lennon

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I think for Lennon to work he would really, really need to have his demons under control.

[04Sauzee]

Well someone said a poll on HB had Lennon top.
Cant argue with that

31.8% so I can probably argue with that

[Northernhibee]

31.8% so I can probably argue with that

Less than 20% on the poll here. So very much a statistical minority that want Lennon back.

[Libby Hibby]

I would love Lennon to be appointed.

He’d need the support from us to be a success. I can understand the cautiousness from some but compare him to Maloney and Johnson, he’s streets ahead.

Compare him to some to some of the current opposition managers and they’ll be thinking twice that Hibs will be push overs under him. For the seethe alone that it would bring to the puddle drinkers, its a no-brainier.

Do it Hibs and let the fun times return.

[Brightside]

Absolutely scunnered if that's true and proof our board don't have a clue. Hopefully pish.

I think it’s safe to say it’s pish.

[sauzeelegod]

Haste ye back Neil 🇳🇬

He was an awful manager. Demands such a mythical level from players whilst failing to show any of the qualities our manager needs. If you thought LJ chucked players under the bus wait till Lennon gets his feet back under the table.

[Springbank]

Less than 20% on the poll here. So very much a statistical minority that want Lennon back.

I think it's fair to say ge gets more votes than anyone else, and given there were 22(?) names to choose from, he's sitting top of the charts.

I guess if you deal in binary majority/minority as the only available yardstick then there are just 2 options: we should work out a single transferable vote system for future polls, or limit the options to 2

[lyonhibs]

Yesterday's man could well be tomorrow's manager if one believes the media. Not looking forward to the prospect of 4-6 months of fun before the wheels come off spectacularly (again) and we're back here looking for a new manager for the 24/25 season

[Northernhibee]

McInnes has more than double the votes of Lennon.

So aye, a minority want Lennon back. Likely that’s because he shouts and rants a lot and people mistake that for management and leadership.

[Phil MaGlass]

A blind man could have steered Celtic to the title when he returned. If I recall correctly, I’m sure he even made a hard job of that. The ten in a row season was an unmitigated disaster.

Where was this backbone in the Hibs team when he left? You’re fantasising.

All of this, Lennon couldn't have had an easier job, but he managed to F that right up. I loved most of his time at Hibs but he lost the plot. Dont need that, we need the Lennon that can kick arse, manage and focus on the job at hand, McInnes or Malky for me.
Oh, but if he does get the job he will get my 100% backing.

McInnes is clear favourite on the poll on .net

[Hibee Daft]

Think Lennon would work well under Mcdermott.

Not against Neil Lennon coming back, think we have a good team and he'd get more out them thsn Johnson did.

[Brightside]

If people thought I had an agenda against LJ then if Neil Lennon gets the job I can assure it’s all I’ll post. A horrible human being that should be nowhere near our club.

[B.H.F.C]

I get that he’s no everybody’s cup of tea but it’s just wrong to say he was an awful manager. Plenty players, no just at Hibs, have spoken about how good he was for them.

[Hibee Daft]

[CapitalGreen]

Only if you think internet messages boards are representative of a whole supporter base - they aren’t.

I don’t particularly want Lennon back, there is some very big pros in favour of appointing him but potentially some very big negatives too. I feel like I’d be constantly on edge about those negatives coming to the fore.

[Trinity Hibee]

I get that he’s no everybody’s cup of tea but it’s just wrong to say he was an awful manager. Plenty players, no just at Hibs, have spoken about how good he was for them.

Think Lewis has said he was one of the best he’s had? It didn’t end great but the good times were better than most other managers we have seen in recent times. Every manager ends up having a bad spell but not every manager has as good a spell as Lennon had.

[stoneyburn hibs]

I can't believe people are seriously considering him an option, he is indeed awful on the evidence of his last time here, the spectacular mess he made of historic opportunity for 10 in a row, and the fact he's currently desperate for a job - any job. The myth building by ignoring all evidence is utterly bizarre. If the club were crazy enough to appoint this loser then he'd be the first Hibs manager ever that I'd be against from day 1.

[Brightside]

It won’t be happening anyway.

[Brightside]

A horrible human being is a tad dramatic, hes a footbal manager ffs

So he’s not a human being then?

No manager is going to get a high percentage vote anyway.
Unless its Klopp Pep etc and thats no in our universe

Thats why appointing him is a mastertroke, We can focus on getting the proper manager in for the January window and the Scottish Cup run. Lennon never gets to spend any money!

[Fergus52]

Can't wait for him to sign us players he has no intention of playing, as favours for his dodgy agent mates again

An absolutely terrible thing to say, anyone who knows or has even met Lennon will tell you he is a gem of a bloke who is happy to talk football with anyone.

Lennon has come out recently talking about his depression issues and that is something we can all understand now, quite possibly he was struggling with this during his last stint, which might explain a lot.

[JohnM1875]

I've said a few times I'd like Lennon back, and wouldn't be against it if it happens now. But Lennon had a far better squad than this current one, with arguably the best midfield in the league. So do worry a bit how he'd do with this squad.

That and it's just a bit boring. Montgomery or Arnold in!!

I met NL once after he bizarrely came to watch an amateur football game I was playing in with his laddie. Spoke to him afterwards for a bit and as you say, a nicer guy you couldn’t meet. Told me and another guy he’d be in touch about a contract when he was leaving :greengrin

This. Nail on the head. He’s a great manager but ultimately a great man who suffers a lot. This is not a reason not to give someone a job though and trust me I know.

[Since452]

Why is he a horrible human being?

Did he not threaten to stab the woman he was cheating on his wife with?

[Dmas]

Did he not threaten to stab the woman he was cheating on his wife with?

Yes he did and various other threats a low life

[Alex Trager]

I am 100% on board with Neil Lennon 2023/24 season, with a £2.5m forward line at his disposal & the knowledge he would see defeat at places like tynecadtle & ibrox as a personal affront

He’d have to get used to that personal affront then because this rangers side is worlds apart from the one Lennon beat.

How many times did his Hibs win at Tynie? Or get beat?

[MelbourneHibees]

I cannot believe we are going to make this man our manager again. I couldn't believe it first time round. A horrible man. He performed reasonably well to a point and done the job required. But look at where he left us. We must be better than NL.

[Northernhibee]

Worth also remembering for all the rhetoric of him being a “natural born winner”, he had his arms out and giving it large facing the opposition stands not because we won, not because we’d had a valiant fight back for an unlikely draw, but they’d just had a goal disallowed and it meant we didn’t lose.

As utterly cringeworthy small time behaviour as I’ve ever seen.

[WhileTheChief..]

It won’t be happening anyway.

Think you’re going to be wrong again.

Club are keen to speak to him and he’s keen to come to us.

Can’t see anything stopping it happening.

[supermcginn]

It won’t be happening anyway.

With your track record I expect to see Lennon appointed today.

[James70]

Not my choice but I can understand reasons for giving him the job.

Readily available with no compensation having to be paid.
Experienced manager with good knowledge of Scottish football.
Already knows the club and some of the players.

If he gets the job I really hope it works out but there are equally good reasons to not give it to him.

There are only 2 teams he would have acted that way against in the circumstances. I want a manager that would that against Celtic and Aberdeen too.

It’s ok tho. Mental health card means he’s actually a lovely guy. (Like Tyson fury is actually a lovely guy) Everyone knows why he was “sacked”. He’s a pantomime manager with a win rate in the Prem only slightly better than Lee Johnson.

Lennon win % 47.9 to Johnson % of 38.5, is that really only slightly better?

[Since452]

Do we really want this character anywhere near our football club? I'd class him alongside Martindale personally. A wrongun.

No we don’t and I include you in that.

None of us were there when it hit the fan before and even if people have heard what happened from people they trust, they still don’t know the background to it all. If he was to get the job back again, he would have the support of the senior players who were there. There’s absolutely no question their take on it holds more strength than second or third hand internet rumours.

I don’t know anything about Lennons mental health although I don’t think it takes a genius to work out at times he gets too worked up and that can’t be healthy. I look back at his time at Hibs back then and wonder what support network he had at the club at the time. Was he supported? I don’t mean financially. There’s a different structure in place now which could be ideal for him.

He wasn’t my first choice, far from it, if it does happen though I’m fully on board with it.

[Brightside]

Lennon win % 47.9 to Johnson % of 38.5, is that really only slightly better?

In the Prem. Lennon lost 43%. LJ 47%

Lennon also lost 18 games in the championship. It’s astounding that people are thinking he was a good manager. Blaming players for wearing the wrong studs? Crazy lineups and Tynie and aberdeen. Even the 5-5 game was just pish management against a poor rangers team.

[bingo70]

Winning is fun.

You’re a Hibs fan, we’re never going to win every week, let’s enjoy the journey of trying to get there though.

[bingo70]

In the Prem.

Did Lennon not get us our record points total in the premier league? Maybe ended up a point off it or something actually.

[Hillsidehibby]

I’m going to contradict myself by saying that I don’t want Lennon back but on the other hand it was probably the last time that I really enjoyed going to watch Hibs when he was in charge.

[NC1875]

All the snowflakes out today i see. Lennon is horrible, a wrongun, bla bla bla.

One of the most enjoyable times watching Hibs last time around. It’ll certainly be more entertaining that LJ’s or Maloneys Hibs.

He’ll get more investment from the club than he did get last time round.

Id prefer McInnes but think Kilmarnock will want too much compo.

Get Lennon back.

[B.H.F.C]

Although in fairness, people can change their ways as Martindale has shown. God forbid anyone ever makes any mistakes in life.

If it is to be Lennon then I hope we bring in someone as his assistant that would be ready to take the reigns in 18 months or so when it goes tits up

He's a pound land Jose. Works short term. But players soon get tired of him throwing them under the bus after bizarre line ups leading to a loss

Dont know about more investment as we have paid out quite a bit recently, I would say the pot is close to being empty this window

[Broken Gnome]

Ugh.

I'm sure he does have time for the club and sees it as a big job, but if/when it goes wrong I doubt he's of a mind not to take everything and everyone down with him.

Of the possible scenarios - a good job before he decides amicably he's had enough, does so well he's headhunted elsewhere (can't see which bigger league/club would realistically have him as a leading candidate), or slump in form leading to departure - the latter seems by far the most likely and inevitably messy.

Still, full support and all that. If he gets a uptick out of this defence and midfield then I'll be fickle as and change my mind at the drop of a hat.

One thing Lennon does is gives us the buzz back. Even those who dislike him want to chatter about it….lj and jr had us switching off, losing interest.
