View Full Version : Monty - Enough’s enough
we are hibs
12-05-2024, 02:55 PM
All our eggs in the basket of Foley having full control of the club and having half a clue what he's doing, then.
If the current lot who picked another dud are near the next appointment in any way it'll be a failure yet again. They don't have a clue what theyre doing. They haven't for 3 years and it's not going to change.

I actually feel sorry for Monty having to rely on this shower of crappers to keep him in a job. I feel even more sympathy for his successor who will be lumbered with a squad that will still contain a fair proportion of these losers.
Sympathy? Why? He’s presided over a complete and utter failure of a season.

How has our squad come to this? Everyone involved in recruitment should be emptied. ****ing fed up of analysts being paid to do **** all. There are a fair few of them at the club and none of them have any shame

At the point now where I can't even be arsed keeping up with this discussion because all it's been is the last remaining Monty In folks seeing sense with every ***** result we serve up while the rest continue to spew nonsense about VAR and refs and transfer windows to justify how ***** he actually is.
There's no way this man should be our manager. He should have been sacked 3 or 4 times by now and the only reason he hasn't is because every ****er at the club is scared to go out and find another manager considering they're getting worse and worse as they try, frankly they can go as well.

Edit: replying to your comment, not challenging your reply to mine.
Simple fact of it all is Ross county should never have got the throw in as it was Hibs throw , just another terrible decision in a long line of them this season that's altered our games and not in a good way .

However, we need someone like them and fix the fundamental basics to the footballing side of the club. Change the mentality, get grafters in, make us ugly and be able to do to the simple stuff well.
It will mean average but committed players, boring but effective football but we need that for a while in order to reset things. Another dreamer coming in from England and thinking they can just play tippy tappy football with young untried professionals won’t cut it

It was clear very early on that he didn’t have a clue how to set up a team to compete in this league but was either stubborn, thick or clueless, maybe all three TBH. The club and inexplicably a handful of fans wanted to give him more time and transfer funds to continue our downfall further into next season. No one can possibly think he’s good enough to get another season at Hibs, he’s so far out of his depth it’s scary.

It's not in him. Gordon's should put their stake in the club up for sale. It's not like Ron was getting it right but I believe in time he would've. I'd don't have the same believe in his son.
Kensell has far too much influence and is failing miserably at one half of his job. I'd get rid but don't think Ian and the board would identify a better replacement. Needs a wage cut for a start to reflect his ***** performance. Split the CEO role and bring in someone to run the football side of things. Get rid of the useless **** in place at the minute.
As for management stop ****ing about and just get McInnes. Those who don't want him can suck it up. If it doesn't work for him then there no hope on hell anyone else can make it work with things as they are at the minute.

I absolutely don’t want McInnes and think the fan base would turn on his methods pretty quickly. Same with Robinson (Why would they come anyway??)
However, we need someone like them and fix the fundamental basics to the footballing side of the club. Change the mentality, get grafters in, make us ugly and be able to do to the simple stuff well.
It will mean average but committed players, boring but effective football but we need that for a while in order to reset things. Another dreamer coming in from England and thinking they can just play tippy tappy football with young untried professionals won’t cut it
The nearest thing to a guaranteed manager who will get us punching our weight or even above it is getting that man in now, should have been after Ross was unfairly sacked, but thats by the by.
This glorious brazillian way of playing does not work in Scotland, we are a dour country with a dour way of doing things, just ****in accept that and you wont be looking for something we dont get other than the odd glimmer.

Correct.
And just like with previous managers, he will sack this one to save his own skin and take the heat off himself and the cycle will continue until we are eventually relegated at some stage.
He has to go. As does McDermott, Monty and 99% of that squad.

That's me trying to be somewhat objective appreciating that the commercial aspects of the club are up. The irony is how it'll all come tumbling down cause all of it, sponsorship, hospitality etc. is entirely dependant on the performance of the football team. I'm just as happy for him to **** off completely but can't see it. He played a big role in getting the BK deal done so don't see the board looking to get rid just yet...

St Mirren 0-3 loss was the moment he should have gone and we would have made the Top 6.
Waited far too long - the damage gets worse and more pressure on the club officials.

Who is leading this shambles because I don’t see anyone (like Ron did) coming out and speaking to the support when things are bad. Statements don’t cut it! Everyone’s hiding! Players actually look mentally broken.
She often takes part in the Longbangers call podcasts and speaks very well. As someone who has obviously been on the inside at the club I take her comments very seriously, as someone who clearly knows her stuff. I happen to agree with everything she says, and it needs addressed.
It’s a huge concern.

Motherwell are a decent team and are a good example of a team sticking with a manager who had a bad run. Rangers and Hearts have also lost recently in Dingwall. Laidlaw gifted Motherwell a couple of goals also.
Motherwell are a good example of sticking with a manager Jim, but Kettlewell had earned the leeway that he was given. Came in with Well bottom of the league with 14 games left, and won nine of them. That’s more than NM has managed in 32 attempts.
Four games into this season Kettlewell had won 12 of his 18 league games in charge, so that bought him time during the awful run they went on (when we still couldn’t beat them). NM has never built up any credit in the bank, and hopefully today signals the end of a thoroughly depressing tenure.

I’d left long before that but I thought the attitude was a disgrace. You expect some sort of reaction after half time but we were putting absolutely no effort in.
But then again, he didn’t make any changes to the team from last week. Then at half time, he didn’t make any changes. There is absolutely no consequence you being pish at Hibs. In fact, you’ll probably get a new contract because you’re a nice lad.

I do think that it’s no coincidence we finished in third when we had closed doors.
The issue we have is that when all goes well - like when we’d won the Scottish Cup and we had a board and team capable of doing well we can get all the stands behind the team. When we’ve just had two or three awful seasons and we have absolute clowns running the club then it’s the opposite.
The club needs a reset top to bottom. It’s an unwise statement from the manager given recent form but that’s also not to say that there’s some truth in it.
The main, takeaway issue is that we have absolutely no leadership at the club and whether or not he would ever have been good enough, the manager has IMO been hung out to dry and taken the flak for it. Those above need to take proper ownership.

My worry is similar - they then appoint someone like Robinson as he's a cheap option due to fan pressure and we struggle.

Either way, the real takeaway from NM's interview today is

2. He has no clue that it's about speed of passing in the midfield
Aberdeen played 1 touch and pulled us out of shape time & again
The only man doing that in our team NMW was the first man hooked by the boss
Watch Joe Newell's 12th minute booking
He gets the ball in acres of space
He takes around 10 touches when 2 max were required
Then he's outpaced & fouls the boy
Thats just 1 example & there were dozens

There is a quorum of around 6 on here who continually tell us to be patient and give NM at least another window, they are not helping the situation at all.

I'm not defending Newell but thats not what happened really. He picked the wrong pass and gave the ball away. He then decided to take the card and foul their player. Still poor.
Also think we are all clutching at straws a bit with NMW. He has come un and shown some energy and done ok. Not much more than that really. No better than Newell yet

There's no excuse for a performance like that. We get worse week to week, not better. One embarrassment after another. It shouldn't even be a debate - he's nowhere near getting it right at Hibs. Time for a fresh start and let's start the new season with some optimism.

Shirley you mean fan?
I am always positive about our fans! Managers and players maybe not so much when we get results such as today.
There is a quorum of around 6 on here who continually tell us to be patient and give NM at least another window, they are not helping the situation at all.
So be a nice chap and don't accuse me of taking a pop at our fans, other than the quorum referred to above.
You are having a pop , don't deny it and again when did I say the majority of fans want to retain him? . Hopefully you'll have the decency to tell me this time of asking ! .

I stuck supporting Monty a lot longer than many seem to have, Just like I did with Jack Ross who I didn’t want sacked and Lee Johnson who I backed until near the end.
Last week Vs Ross County was the final straw for me and today is a giant nail in the coffin.
The club seem to still be deciding on if he will stay or not and today was probably the massive kick up the arse that will sway them toward not. It doesn’t feel good at all but maybe today’s humiliation could be for the best of the club.
Also thank god we are safe form relegation because the current situation feels like when we needed just 1 more win for ages and it wouldn’t come.

There's just no coming back from that. Embarrassing
I honestly never leave a match early, but as soon as the third went in I was off. If I hadn't renewed already I honestly don't think I'd bother.
His post match stuff is awful as well. I can't help feeling sorry for the guy but I'm not sure why I do. Probably cause you never actively want to see someone sacked, but he's all over the place just now. The best thing for all involved is to end it now. Becoming painful to watch.

NMW looked a breath of fresh air when he arrived and everything we have lacked for years. He’s been dragged down by the likes of Newell & Levitt into our usual midfield malaise. I hope we can harness his natural talents and not drag him into midfield mediocrity. Probably needs two new midfielders beside him, hopefully Amos is one but he has it all to prove, and hopefully a new manager can get the best out of NMW next season.

Still think NMW was better than Newell today. Newell, who's been captain for much of the season and is a seasoned pro.
Even today when NMW got on the ball he was still looking to miss a player out and fizz it into feet.

I actually do think he’s a bit dim. I’m all for trying managers from all over but Scotland is a bit of a unique league. There really is nothing between 3rd and the top bit of the championship. Spending a couple of hundred thousand on a player guarantees you nothing when compared to a determined hardened professional who’s been about the leagues for years.
I’m not for one moment advocating we go that way but players in this league are battle hardened and sometimes I think we bring managers in who think they can splash some money, get players in who have no concept of how difficult it is to play here but expect to roll teams over. The list of players we’ve signed over the past few seasons who struggled to get to grips with it is staggering. Maybe time for a manager who can mix a bit of both.
People like Nick Montgomery really have no clue to the stature of Hibs and when they eventually leave will probably never be invested in Hibs again.
He said "this isn't an easy place to play when the fans vent their frustrations - it's happened over the last couple of seasons"
What a stupid thing to some out with. I suppose Celtic Park, Ibrox, Tynecastle, Pittodrie etc are easy places to play when those clubs' fans vent their frustration. It's all part of the game, you've got to learn how to deal with it.

I was absolutely suckered by him doing well at CCM. Was buzzing when we announced him.
Think the fact the manager following him, with quite a depleted squad, has done a better job speaks volumes. Sorry for those here that like and watch the A-League. But it's a very different standard.

:agree: Thats what i left feeling, that the players actually didnt care. A good manager would be able to get them inspired by something, whether it be professional pride, guilt, putting on a show for the fans, the chance of a bigger move or psychological manipulation of some kind. Something, anything. But they werent giving it everything against an Aberdeen team that were clearly on it.

I’d be more understanding of those players weren’t downing tools for their second manager in the same season. Johnson and Montgomery are poor but this squad, collectively and individually, coast on a reputation on paper that doesn’t resemble the reality. Whenever a player is being defended it’s never that they are part of the solution and enjoy them while we can, it’s “least of our problems”, damned with faint praise if ever there was.

It’s just as plausible that both managers are ultimately pish and the players have seen through that. And until today I wouldn’t say the players had downed tools. Nor did they down tools under Johnson. What they did do was put in wildly inconsistent performances.
If his inability to sound convincing in interviews is matched by his coaching it’s little wonder the players aren’t convinced by him. Nothing he says inspires me.

I’m not buying that. The players might well have seen through both managers, but the fans have long since seen through this squad. You don’t lose your first 3 games in the manner we did to cost a manager his job. Then finish bottom 6 under a second manager, getting progressively worse, because they’ve seen through a second manager in the same season but they’re actually a good, talented, bunch.

To be perfectly honest I couldn't care if he goes or stays. The disconnect that I feel towards the club is such that I really can't get excited by the future prospects and equally I don't feel any degree of upset when they lose.
Lots gets said about him not having his own players, but in a job at Hibs level, any manager should have the ability to improve the team through motivation and coaching.
I think if Hanlon and Stevenson join Murray at Raith for next season that will be far more interesting to follow than what happens at Hibs

I’m not disagreeing about today, I’m saying I don’t believe they had downed tools before then. I’d argue a large number of fans have seen through him, so it’s no surprise if the players have, working with him on a daily basis. Whatever their failings are.
And I’m really not defending the players, I’ve said this more than once there are lucky if there are more than a handful of players I’d be sorry to see leave and we’ve already confirmed 3 of them will be going at the end of the season.

Statement was challenging, no question. Players and manager had a choice - rise to the challenge and show what you're made of... or crumble under the pressure and/or chuck it. Montgomery's been abjectly, unable to inspire the players. If this was part of an interview for the Hibs job, he'd be finished. That's the acid test for me. He should be gone already.
