Ian Murray

[Helensburghhibs]

Can't be many above him should we find ourselves in the hunt for a new manager? Is this a popular opinion or who do we think instead? (I'll give you mcinnes no probs)

Also, let's talk jack Ross, not a fan of returners but surely the subsequent years have proven he was doing a fine job? Treated unfairly imo.

I think Murray has to be in the running. I've read comments on other threads about young managers needing to "prove themselves" and I think he's done well enough to merit a shot. Managed 4 different clubs, so not inexperienced. We could do a lot worse imo.

Think in Scotland alone, McInnes, Robinson and Docherty would be ahead of him.

Murray is doing well but if not for the Hibs link I’m not sure many would think much of him in terms of being out next manager.

Think Raith have a pretty big budget for the league too.

Ross has done well at Dundee Utd since, a 7 nil and a 9 nil spanking and axed after 7 games. He should have been sacked by us in the dressing room after the cup final.

[MWHIBBIES]

Your eyes were bleeding as we finished 3rd, reached cup finals, and won plenty games? Aye, okay.

Total myth Ross' football was hard to watch IMO. It wasn't Mowbray, but it wasn't eye bleeding whatsoever.

Don't especially want him back, but he deserves a lot more credit for what he managed here.

We should have sacked a manager after getting 3rd and a cup final? are you broken?

[Helensburghhibs]

Just to clarify,, I mean what has happened at hibs in the subsequent years not what Ross has done.

[B.H.F.C]

If he hadn’t played for us, I don’t think he’d be mentioned.

[Paul1642]

Think Raith have a pretty big budget for the league too.

I’m far from a fan of appointing former players as it rarely seems to work out however I think even disregarding his Hibs days, Murray would be worth considering.

Raith have pushed Dundee United who who presumably have a much larger budget for the league right up until the end. They finally fell a little short but that shouldn’t overshadow that they still have second place nailed by a huge margin against teams like Partick, Dunfermline and ICT who will have similar budgets.

I’m looking for a much more exciting manager through the Foley link if we do make the change but I wouldn’t be completely disappointed with Murray.

I don’t know the championship budget breakdown but he’s got them 2nd on a budget which will be 2nd highest or lower and we will hopefully have a budget around that of joint 3rd highest in the SPFL next year so the money would be there to support him.

We no longe need a manger who will punch above our budget but rather just achieve what’s expected.

As for Jack Ross, I didn’t agree with his sacking and hindsight has proved me right IMO, however his return is not what we need at all.

[Centre Hawf]

I always find it interesting the discussion on managers like they're footballers who have lost their legs and can't do it anymore.

Jack Ross had a shocker at Dundee United after having a successful St Mirren spell, and what was probably from the outside looking in similar here. I think time has probably shown that not many folk would have been a success at United. Not sure I'd jump up and down for the guy to return like but still I don't think the guy has became a bad manager after one job.

To answers OP's question about Murray I think I wouldn't exactly chase him either but if he came through the door June 1st it would be hard not to get behind the guy.

Not sure I get the argument of jumping from one current inexperienced manager to a lower league inexperienced manager.

I like Murray, I think he has done pretty well in the Managerial jobs he has had. I wouldn’t be too disappointed if he was given the job.

[WestCoastHibby]

Well for what it’s worth I’ve just watched Raith beat Cally thistle totally against the run of play and Hibs “reject” ( unfairly) Kevin Djabrowski man of the match with outstanding saves
Exactly the kind of performance that Hibs could do with on a regular basis.
I’d have Iain Murray in a heartbeat

[Jones28]

He spoke really well in his interview.

[Jones28]

Not sure I get the argument of jumping from one current inexperienced manager to a lower league inexperienced manager.

360 games as a manager isn’t inexperienced in fairness.

[coldingham hibs]

He has won 42.5% of his 364 games as a manager. That’s pretty decent in a competitive league like the Championship.

[Tyler Durden]

He’s a lower league manager. Similar to an Ian McCall.

No shame in that but he’ll not be on Hibs radar.

We need someone proven at our level or higher.

[Callum_62]

Not for me

Interestingly though what happened to Morton? I sure I seen Dougie Imries name being banded about on these forums not too long ago and now they ain't exactly far above the relegation playoff place

Montgomery was less experienced and managed at a level which is arguably lower than the top of the Scottish Championship.

I do agree though that there should be others higher up the list than IM.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring former players back as manager. Just my opinion.

I don't want to see us outplayed by ICT and rely on the goalie having a blinder to get us the points, ideally.

If he'd gone there and played them off the park and won, that would be a better sign he's up to it.

I think if we didn’t have the BK investment behind us managers like Ian Murray and Rhys McCabe would firmly be in the running however suspect the club will aim higher and perhaps rightly so.

[marinello59]

He’s hardly inexperienced.
The way he has bounced back from his disastrous time at St Mirren, a job that came too early for him, has been impressive. Sromebody in the top flight will make him an offer.

[Brightside]

Hes had 21 games in the top league with a PPM of 1.0. That’s inexperienced and not very effective

[tonyrougier123]

Still a chance his old club might do his raith side in the playoffs 😬.
Murray can take a lot of credit for both sides upturn. His teams score goals play on the front foot and are relatively small squads he’s working with. Definitely has credit in the bank as a manager now.
And still plugging away at Goodwins Utd.

I think we won’t be looking his direction whatever happens though.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Not for me. Looking for much more experienced

Murray is an ex player i've never liked it would be a disaster for me if he was ever given the job. :wink:

Some of the football Celtic have played this season has been rank rotten, a few huns i know think they are sheite.

People on here tell me Kilmarnock are pish away from their plastic pitch, others ask why we are behind crap teams like Dundee and St Mirren.

I will let you into a little secret, Scottish football is made up with a lot of very average players, which lends itself to some rank rotten games, i much prefer being rank rotten when we are further up the league and getting to Hampden regularly.

As there is nothing more certain in football, that you will never win a cup if you dont make it to the final, and since Ross left, we've not even looked like getting to one.

Yes we were the better team for most of that game. Should have had pen and Boyle offside plus a few other chances. Blew it by losing an awful goal from our corner. So poor

I do take your point on this but I am now just so done with ‘should have’ in a Hibernian context.

We’re turning into that Jack Lennon ( Lemmon. Lemmon FFS, not Lennon!) character in Glengarry Glen Ross. Or Gil the salesman from The Simpsons: “Oh, this is bad, this is really bad! You work, and you slave, and you steal just enough for a sweet lick of that shiny brass ring…”

We lost to 10 men, even under LJ we could beat 10 men most of the time, in fact for a while it seemed like we got most of our points against 10 men.

[Vini1875]

I'm not saying Iam Murray is not a decent manager, he may even have the makings of being a good manager. However if we are going to be getting solid backing and investment, we need to be aiming at a higher level of manager. Hopefully we will start to attract managers who have won trophies in their career to date.

I'm hoping NM has a stellar second season, but that is part of the trouble, hoping someone will come good, rather than having actual confidence in someone, who has actual evidence of being able to win trophies.

Who did Murray manage in the SPL?

[O'Rourke3]

In my lifetime only Turnbull and Collins as former players can claim "success" with us as managers. Willie Ormand, too, to a lesser degree. Getting former players in "because they know what it means" usually ends up badly, sometimes because the fans have a greater expectation of success and no patience. If Ian Murray has 350 plus games under his belt I'd say he's found his level.

I agree! Absolute joke, a final we never even competed in with a bunch of plauyers who looked lost without a formation and no urgency to go forward. I said early doors we wern't going to score that day and would lose 1-0 because Ross set us up in that manner. Should've have been emptied sooner.

I think it could have been a mistake to let Dabrowski go when we seem to have other players forever on loan - such as Mackay or Tait. But I believe Dabrowski signed a 2 year contract with Raith last year which makes the argument fairly irrelevant. What are we going to do now? Buy him back? If he was still our player he'd be worth taking another look at.

No doubt he got it totally wrong, but many players to blame too. 5 games Vs St Johnstone that season. Martin Boyle was missing in all of them. So was Nisbet.

Also, St Johnstone countered us very well. They lose a few players and we beat them 3 times the following season.
