He is a good manager but he's never a hibs manager. Just because Monty is a failed experiment doesn't suddenly change that. We don't want to see McInnes' football any more than the Aberdeen fans did. Every other manager in the division would do a better job than Monty but we don't want most of them.

Scottish football isn’t built for ‘good’ football. The most effective teams out with the OF are tough, hard to beat and have players that will put the ball in the back of the net. That’s what Mcinnes brings.

You’re right it doesn’t suddenly change - he should have been appointed after Jack Ross. The other stuff about style of football etc is completely over egged and easy to counter. But propaganda is very effective.

Come on. We had multiple trips to Hampden under Jack Ross and it wasn't enough. Fail to win the final? First sign of a league downturn, then out. We're not going to wear the downturn watching McInnes any more than we did Jack Ross.

We'd be daft to go for it and McInnes would be dafter again if he took it.

[Carheenlea]

Hoofing the ball from one end to the other and kicking the opposition off the park.

It might win games, but not the way I’d enjoy watching us win games. I’d prefer to continue to strive to be a footballing side.

Surely we can’t be sacking yet another manager?

What manager in his right mind would want to come to Easter Road given our record for sackings!

The players that have passed through this club in the last wee while is unbelievable. Very few that can hold their head high!

So if we appoint Mcinnes we stop being a football side? If we went for Mcinnes after Ross then we'd have had a better last few seasons.

Derek McInnes, a manager whose team couldn't hold a 2-0 lead against a pub league manager apparently.

Mcinnes was lucky not to be sacked last year. He has won 4 games on grass in the SPL in 2 years. Terrible record. That awful pitch has kept him in a job.

[The Modfather]

McInnes yet to beat Monty.

[Since90+2]

Montgomery deserves until the end of the season, but if it's not improved by then McInnes is the obvious answer.

To have Killie 4th ahead of Aberdeen and Hibs with the comparable budgets is impressive.

[Since452]

Hopefully someone at Hibs was asking about his availability today

[Heisenberg]

McInnes yet to beat Monty.

Surely a mastermind like Derek could easily find his way around this tactic from the 80s? Especially with the ridiculous advantage that pitch gives them.

[Vault Boy]

McInnes’ team were boring and direct, as per always. And they dropped a 2-0 lead at home, on a pitch so **** that it offers them a ridiculous home advantage. No thanks.

Anyone seriously wanting the manager gonna needs to have a word with themselves. New manager isn't going to change our squad and it's deficiencies overnight.

He needs time and he will get it, so people need to sit tight and back the team.

A McInnes side would never drop points from 2-0 up that cannot be true

Speaking for myself here, but those who want him gone, still back the team.

I support Hibs regardless of who the manager or players are.

Nobody expected him to be an overnight success…but 22 games in we’re just as ***** as when he started.

Correct. We wouldn't have stuck by him underperforing this much. He'd had 3 transfer windows by then (accepted he was just in the door for the 1st).

Today was why folk don’t like him. They just wanted to spoil the game for the duration. If you were playing against us surely you just go for us because our defence is absolutely atrocious. Their approach played a part in us getting back in.

We’ll finish above them.

Exactly. He might put out teams that are tough to play against but who wants to watch that every week?

[Crunchie]

Time to do the right thing Kensell and co.
I wanted McInnes the minute Aberdeen sacked him, but we've not got him and that's nothing to do with Monty.

Monty has to be given a decent fist of it, these new signings will make the difference and with a bit of luck, which we seem to have had nothing but bad recently we'll get a decent cup run and maybe even win it.

[CapitalGreen]

McInnes is apparently the answer but is yet to beat this poor Hibs team from 3 attempts this season?

[greenlex]

Are you saying a Hibs team shouldn’t slow the game down and manage it when 2-1 up and down to ten men? Are you really turning your nose up at that? :rolleyes:

[Since452]

You could argue that his team with a much smaller budget is above us in the league and managed to take a point with 10 men.

[B.H.F.C]

You could argue that his team with a much smaller budget is above us in the league and managed to take a point with 10 men.

You could also argue they were two up against a poor side, with very little confidence and blew it.

[1875Sean]

We have a smaller budget than Aberdeen but are ahead of them? For me there isn’t much in it between a lot of teams and I think we have a better squad than killie, if we win our game in hand we are 3 points behind them, still a lot of games to be played and we will be getting stronger with the new player getting minutes and a few players to come back.

[badabing67]

Exactly where I am. If we get this investment we can afford way better than him.

And Barry Robson should be sacked. He’s underachieving.

Yes but it is HIS team, he flirted with relegation last season after the benefit of 2 transfer windows and a 3rd midway through. Hibs fans (such as youself) wouldn't stick by a manager with an equivalent level of underperformance. NM is 4 weeks into his 1st transfer window so he's only just starting to build his team. McInnes is in his 5th window.

[Since90+2]

In a one off game.

When you look at his overall record he's undoubtedly one of the best managers in the Scottish league over the last decade or so.

Saying he ended up with a draw after being 2 up is very shortsighted when you consider his record on the whole

[JohnM1875]

I don't want McInnes at Hibs, never have really. But he's definitely doing a good job at Killie right now. As you say though, it's absolutely his team. People mention the difference in budget etc, and again that is true. But McInnes has absolutely been backed at Killie and has signed players to suit his play style. We're hopefully starting to get that now with Montgomery and I do think we'll start to improve.

I'm not sure saying he "flirted with relegation" with Kilmarnock is that much of a negative. They were newly promoted, which he achieved for them in one season, and then safely navigated them to safety in the first season back.

If that's the worst that can be labeled at him it's not bad going.

In fairness to Mcinnes he has built a team to play on that awful surface which is undoubtedly an advantage and plays to their strengths.....however away from home on grass.......

Done pretty well with Aberdeen over about 7 or 8 years on grass...

Killi had 36% possession and one shot on target at home against a struggling Hibs side. They then lost a two goal lead. Yea..amazing

[Brightside]

[Since90+2]

I suppose that fact negates everything else then, like having Killie 4th and doing a very good job with Aberdeen over a long period.

He's not beaten Montgomery though, or to be more accurate Hibs, in 3 games so I suppose that trumps that.

[JimBHibees]

Important context. Ridiculous looking to get rid of the manager. Give him a chance

[007]

If that's the worst that can be labeled at him it's not bad going.

The equivalent underperformance would be more than enough of a negative for many Hibs fans to want a manager replaced.

He achieved promotion where the nearest challengers were part-time Arbroath and he only pipped them by a couple of points. Wonder how many times Arbroath's budget Killie had.

Yes kept them up, he avoided the relegation playoff spot on the last day of the season. The point is that Hibs managers are not allowed that level of support.

As others have mentioned, the plastic pitch gives him a huge advantage. I looked up the stats not long ago and the points earned at home conmpared to away are a lot more heavily skewed to points at won at home than average.

[stoneyburn hibs]

McInnes may not be the answer, but I'm totally done with these experiments.
This manager like the last two is an absolute dud.

They were doing it at 2-2. At home. Never even pushed to kill the game and get a third or fourth. At home! Parked the bus and shat it.

Do I want that. No. I want a team who plays to win. Plus, I've seen no evidence what so ever that he is the messiah that he's made out to be. Failed to beat this poor Hibs team twice. The love in is cringey.

yea, he wouldn't last half a season here, and by here i mean on hibs.net. We already have a problem hanging on sometimes so last thing we need is someone who shuts up shop against anyone that isn't the old firm.

[Greensunshine]

Monty needs to be given time. We need to stop jumping from manager to manager. It’s damaging the club.

Player recruitment has been our biggest failure but hopefully that’ll be given a huge boost in the coming months!

It’s only a negative on his CV if you believe the Hibs team is poor of course. Even at 2-2 the better team were pushing to win the game. If roles were reversed I would 100% want my team to be managing it to get away with a point. You’re kidding yourself on if we were at Easter Road playing any of the top three and we’re trying to keep it square for a point. You’d be delighted with it just as everyone else would.

[Franck Le God]

Good comeback today.

This is a great point for me. We’ve tried continually replacing managers, look where it’s left us.

NM hasn’t even had a full transfer window and folk want him punted, it’s insane IMO. Yes the football, and results, aren’t what we would want but hitting the reset button now just starts the cycle all over again.

What we need is a little patience and Perseverance.

[LewysGot2]

Knew this would resurface today.

Hibs may have been frustrating in sectors of today's game there is no way we'd accept that style of play at ER. We hounded out other managers for less. His team are a gang, aided and abetted by one of the worst playing surfaces in top flight football. We'd not be happy with it no matter what the results.

Whether NM pans out poorly or otherwise, the man with more tan than BK isn't the answer...

Dont believe everything you read on here, also the bs that his teams are negative, he plays a system which suits his players which is the right thing to do, as opposed to this imposter who has his system and tries to shoehorn players into it, which is what we have been seeing since he came in, and its eye bleeding stuff to watch.

[Donegal Hibby]

I don't think Monty is going to be sacked though if he was I don't want to see us appoint either Lennon or McInnes . If it came down to either I'd rather Lennon than Derek McInnes anti football , it's awful to watch . A big NO to both though.

If Monty was to go I'd put SDG in as interim manager and see how he does for the rest of the season which would also give us time to look at other candidates too though SDG I think would do well.

I think the last time this season I was happy about the performance and result was when SDG beat Aberdeen at pittodrie . Just saying.

The negative stuff is nonsense. I’ve posted stats before and his Aberdeen side were about as free scoring as they come outside of the Old Firm.

[Trinity Hibee]

Mcinnes get results but his football is eye bleeding. Bang it up to big strikers and play of the 2nd ball

That’s not really true as stats at Aberdeen have shown. Maybe not the most attractive but it’s effective.

Certainly better than these ‘modern managers’ we’ve appointed the last few years.

[Ozyhibby]

Anyone who doesn’t think McInnes is a good managers doesn’t know football and doesn’t really care about success for Hibs.

Just give the job to David Gray and be done with it.

With another “temp manager” gig looming he’ll soon have enough to be described as an experienced manager..

[GreenGray]

Look at our current squad and compare it to the signings McInnes has made at Kilmarnock.

If you think he’d do well here you are off your heid.

If we're going for SPL managers I'd take the guy in the opposite dugout today. I'd have been happy for him to have got the job prior to NM, but in fairness to the board, I was happy with NM. You roll the dice and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I think we've been hasty in appointing NM, too stubborn, too inexperienced and now looking very much like a rookie manager who's miles out of his depth. If he's to continue he needs someone to sit down and tell him that he's not playing Football Manager on a video game, other teams will bring lots to the party.

I've never seen a Robinson team outfought, or been tactically exposed. With his budget he will be outclassed sometimes, but his teams have never been a pushover.

[hibee-boys]

If SDG has some pearls of wisdom to share with the team that would make a big difference don’t you think he would’ve chipped in whilst he sat beside the last 2, soon to be 3 no doubt, managers being sacked. Love the guy for what he achieved whilst playing for Hibs but what makes you think he’s be a good choice as manager/head coach?

My point is he likes to sign and work with a certain style of player, the ones in our squad don’t fit that style.

With decent money he might just be the answer. His Aberdeen team a few seasons back played some cracking football when they had the likes of Christie, MacLean and Rooney. But once that team broke up he resorted to the usual "style" and that would have the fans staying away in droves, even if we were scraping 1-0s.

300,00k a year tells me he'd want it. And despite what some might think, our squad is not devoid of quality, it's just tired of being told a steaming pile of BS by the latest wonderkid to rock up at ER. But Steve Robinson would do for me, if we're going domestic level. He's a bit like McInnes but his teams are capable of playing better football, imo. And his players give their all.

He turned down Sevco when in charge of Aberdeen so don't think £300k a year would be as big a draw as you think.

Maybe not, but Sevco back then were a shambles and he was apparently on 750k a year at Aberdeen. I don't want him, although I wouldn't be gutted if we appointed him, but as stated above, if it's SPL managers we look at then look in the opposite dugout today. He'd do fine for me right now.

[Broken Gnome]

There was a point today during the first half when I'd have genuinely been excited by a team that could reliably win second balls.

Just by doing that they'd be on the front door a bit more, than rather aimless possession and 0.0 expected goals. I've been jealous of every single team that's scored goals on the EFL highlights, and that includes Maloney's Wigan FFS.

It's not a insult to our existence to deviate from wanting to be attractive and win well. We've had no sort of consistent likelihood of winning games since early 2021. If back to basics gets us to being one of the form teams in the league, I honestly don't care who it is anymore.

His job is to facilitate whatever it is the head coach wants him to facilitate.

After watching that shower of ##### yesterday Mcinnes , or Robinson would do me . They know Scottish Football what is required and would certainly get more out of this squad that Monty gets . I would even at a push take Lennon back .
Twice now St Mirren have come to Easter Road in the league out muscled us , outplayed us and strolled away with 3 points

Ange was an engaging personality/character, you could understand how he’d be able to command respect. He also came over as a smart and articulate man……I’ve seen none of these traits from our version of Ange. In fact, I’ve always felt McInnes and the likes of Robinson speak with a calmness and authority, Monty just does not come across well at all in any interview I’ve seen. Rambling answers to questions, going around in circles repeating himself.

[Pretty Boy]

His record as a manager speaks for itself. If that doesn't convince people he was and is the obvious choice then no amount of words will persuade them. Give him a budget to do a job and he invariably achieves that. That was the case at St Johnstone, Aberdeen and now Kilmarnock.

It's never going to happen though. My gut is he will be at Killie until Clarke moves on from Scotland then he'll get a crack at that job.

The one thing mcinnes would do for starters is make us harder to beat. Even by that single positive and improvement it would be such a massive step in the right direction

We concede so many cheap goals and often more than 1. You’re relying on hibs scoring at least 3 to win a game of football.

I’m fully more than ever think mcinnes would be the best appointment the board could wish to make.

It's a football forum, not a court of law. SL has been a consistent critic of the way the club is being run, often shot down by other posters with replies like your own. There are plenty of daft comments, different views, on here. I think the reality of the Gordon regime's failings is beginning to sink in now for many. They benefited from buying the club in a good place financially, arguably got Hibs for a bargain price, and have greatly improved the value of their shareholding in Hibs.

However, they haven't been able to get the football side right. NM will be sacked soon, the side is seemingly in freefall and we have a shambolic and imbalanced squad of players.

[Trinity Hibee]

He’s such an obvious candidate surely the board haven’t overlooked him for the last 3 appointments?

I hope it isn’t the case, but maybe he doesn’t want to come here. Only reason I can think for that is that it’s working with a DoF.

I thought Hearts would have gone for him in the summer too instead went with Naismith which makes me think there is maybe something in the DoF thing.

I think McInnes will have one eye on the Scotland job if and when Clarke goes. He's doing a very similar job at Killie. Our chances of getting him are probably gone now.

He's clearly an excellent, savvy manager who knows the Scottish game inside out and in light of the shambolic stuff on the pitch we've been subjected to under our last three incumbents it seems increasingly daft that we don't appear to have ever considered him. Anyone who thinks our current 'style of play' is superior to what McInnes would bring can't have been watching us.
