This next appointment is absolutely massive. Has to be the right guy now.

Thing is, the Gordon's are equally culpable and they're no gonnae sack themselves.

[Centre Hawf]

I'll be back just after half 9 OP with flowers or a telling off for you depending on what happens.

In all seriousness though while it's a shame for anyone to lose their jobs it has to happen.

[Winston Ingram]

Hopefully he won’t be too involved in the recruitment process this time and BKFC take the lead.

Do we know how involved he was in this process?

I thought he handed it over to McDermott and he and the Gordon's just rubber stamped it.

[Smartie]

I'd be interested to know what exactly we know now that we didn't know in the aftermath of the Motherwell game - and why we should have wasted the past few weeks, and allowed some players to move on when a new guy might have had a use for those players.

The timing's not as bad as when LJ left but we've still lost some valuable recruitment time, both of players and of managerial staff, which imo adds to the inevitability that we find ourselves on the back of the next manager (although clearly not his fault).

It's certainly hard to defend NM or find reasons for hope under him, reasons why he should keep his job.

But as every manager gets chucked on the "failed at Hibs" scrapheap, our credibility takes another dunt and the list of candidates likely to be interested in a job at Hibs presumably shrinks that bit further and increases the chances of this ridiculous merry go round continuing.

[The_Exile]

A full pre-season and a decent transfer budget for the new manager, it's a no brainer really.

[Edinburgh Green]

Why would Sergio be informed of the exact time a statement was being made? Anyway I hope its true.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Why would Sergio be informed of the exact time a statement was being made? Anyway I hope its true.

Cause he’ll likely be gone as well? Don’t think it’s beyond the realms of possibility that they’ve been relieved of their duties and been told when the public statement will go out.

[JohnM1875]

Been confirmed by a few folk now so reckon it’s definitely true.

[flash]

It's definitely happening.

Someone who would know has confirmed it.

[we are hibs]

Sad it hasn't worked out. Wish him all the best for the future. But it had to happen. He wasn't surviving missing out on the top 6.



As for the board sacking him now rather than after the Motherwell game... That probably sums them up. Clueless.

Then get a statement out saying exactly what the expectations are for next season. NO PROJECT. A clear statement. Then empty the vast majority of the players.

Who is the new tech director, Mackay?

Correct decision on Monty, failed spectacularly. The board must get the new manager appointment bang on, sacking two managers in a season for the second time in less than 5 years is horrific.

I’m sure you are well aware that the norm is to sack and the replace when you can. They couldn’t have let it go into Wednesday night the way it was. Not sure if this was part of it but the focus can also be more on Hanlon and Stevenson without the toxicity.

[The Modfather]

The correct decision, but I hope the players (bar Maolida) weren’t able to look Monty in the eye. Shameful they have got two managers sacked in the same season.

End of the day, he is the CEO, and aside from The Gordons selling up which probably won't happen anytime soon. He's been around for the decline on the pitch. Even if he has had 'less' involvement in recruiting managers as time has went on. Buck stops with him.

[truehibernian]

He was never going to be in place for next season, decision was made after Motherwell and the ridiculously timed statement - shambles the way it’s been handled but the correct decision and I’m pretty sure the replacement has been lined up already (at least discussions have been had in the background).

[Greencore]

Kensell next please.

Thank goodness for that, interesting times ahead.

Then every single coward heartless *****bag pussy in that playing squad that have seen off yet another manager. Every single one of them. Zero exceptions

No doubt he had to go but Think we might struggle to get someone else in of any stature or experience or someone currently in a job

Your not coming to Hibs who consistently sack when the going gets tough. What kind of message does that send to the players ? If they don’t like it they just down tools and the manager carries the can

[Greenio]

Never want to see a man lose his job. Bad taste to be 'delighted' at this imo

Tried his best, wasn't good enough.

I honestly feel they wanted him to turn it around, so dont think its a case of wasting time. The dons game made it just too hard though

Here we go again then eh. Back to absolute square one.

Is it reading too much into things to note the statement says 'the Gordon Family' have made the decision and commented on it rather than Kensell? That seems very much the job of the CEO and his omission jumps out at me.

The most significant issue remains and I hope NM isn’t the only one to leave. Ben Kensell has to be shown the door. He has overseen a disaster. Taking a club in a great place into a sporting and financial crisis. Get. Him. Gone.

What a shambles Hibs are.

I have zero faith of their ability to pick a decent manager unless its someone with proven experience. I'm not convinced MacInnes would come to Hibs.

[Bostonhibby]

Sorry for the guy if he has simply been the latest front man for a structure and hierarchy that is where the problem lies.

I guess we will get further evidence one way or another when the next appointment has a go.

Onwards and upwards Hibs. Normally I'd say figures come and go, the club endures and marches on with the fans and the community and these guys are just custodians but it doesn't have that feel just now. Hopefully we get it right next time.

Just wildly out of his depth sadly. Hibs took a gamble appointing him, he took a gamble accepting in so far as uprooting his family for a shot. Neither paid off.
I do hope BKFC have a say in what happens in the board room now though. The succession of failed appointments has a common denominator somewhere!

They’ve nothing to worry about if they’re any good at being a football manager. Two of our recent three sackings were disasters at their next clubs too, and neither is even managing any more. The other one is in charge at a mid-table League One club down south.

Hibs problem isn’t that we’re trigger happy, which is the narrative the media and opposition fans will go with. Our issue is hiring ***** football managers.

[Paulie Walnuts]

It's not about owing anything anyone. It's just about taking pleasure in other peoples misfortune.

Up to you tho

It’s not taking pleasure in his misfortune. It’s taking pleasure in the fact I won’t have to watch him managing a Hibs team again. I couldn’t care less about Nick Montgomery or his fortunes, I’m only really bothered about Hibs and how they’re doing.

[He's here!]

The correct decision, but I hope the players (bar Maolida) weren’t able to look Monty in the eye. Shameful they have got two managers sacked in the same season.

Indeed. Players get off lightly in these situation.

[Broxburn Greens]

I'm sure like us all when a new manager is appointed we are hopeful and dreaming of better times ahead. That we'll see exciting attacking football with goals galore and great cup runs and challenging at the top end of the table to be 3rd as it's the best the rest can get.

Sadly, soon after Montgomery's appointment the worry that none of the above would happen started to creep in and so it grew until Sunday's humiliating defeat at home to Aberdeen.

I have no doubt the guy and his team gave it their all and wanted all the things I've listed above as well. Sadly it wasn't to be and maybe the fit wasn't right but I suspect the inheritance of ramshackle piecemeal squad didn't help the guy despite trying to shore it up in January.

He's paid the ultimate price but I do think Kensall should be bulleted as well as he is equally culpable in this. Get a new CEO and a new Manager and then empty the squad out and rebuild it. I don't expect us to be anything but a work in progress next season now but what I and (I think) my fellow Hibs supporters want and need to see is progress. A team that plays well as a unit, can defend and can be exciting scoring goals.

The first thing a new manager can do is try to make ER a fortress again, no team currently fears coming to ER and that has to change, it's also something the fans can help with by creating a siege mentality in the ground and making opposition uncomfortable form the first to final kick of the ball.

I wish Monty and his team all the best for the future and thank them for their efforts, it just wasn't good enough in the end.

Onwards we go, GGTTH.

Usually quite happy when a crap manager gets the bullet but feel totally different this time. Problems go way beyond that. Under Kensell it’s the second time a we’ve sacked two in a season. This year we also have the case of the magic disappearing Director of Football that he appointed.

Just hope that with the investment and new involvement we are going to get the dramatic changes required.

[eastmainsmsh]

Scource correct lol 😆 a day late

[One Day Soon]

An appalling appointment which at no stage looked like working. Just terrible.

This is actually the best news we’ve had all season. It presents the opportunity to be honest about just how much the club’s leaders have ****ed up on the footballing side to date and for them to put people who know how to fly the plane into the roles of flying the plane.

IMO Kensell should be given a role with no relationship to the footballing side and should not be CEO. If that doesn’t happen then a) we are taking a massive risk on his continued influence over matters he is not qualified to oversee and b) he is drinking at the very far end of the distant ****house way at the bottom of the beer garden of the very last chance saloon.

I can't say I'm happy or even pleased today. Whilst there is no doubt he needed to go, from the top down the club is a real mess and I have zero faith that the next guy in will be any better.

3. If they aren’t serious, we’ll see more moneyball punts like Monty

Your not coming to Hibs who consistently sack when the going gets tough. What kind of message does that send to the players ? If they don’t like it they just down tools and the manager carries the can

Hibs are a big club and the job will come with a good salary. There will be no shortage of candidates, good, bad and indifferent.

It’s not taking pleasure in his misfortune. It’s taking pleasure in the fact I won’t have to watch him managing a Hibs team again. I couldn’t care less about Nick Montgomery or his fortunes, I’m only really bothered about Hibs and how they’re doing.

I think to be honest the days of sacking coaches and it costing a bomb are long gone.

I wouldn't put a huge amount of worry in it.

Hoping now Monty isn't the only one that's leaving now so somehow the club can get back on track , it's a complete shambles now and we are boarding along the lines of being a complete laughing stock like Watford.

Barely had a chance to unpack properly. I find it a bit sad, no doubt he tried his best and worked hard but it hasn't worked out for him. But we roll the dice and go again.

[Forza Fred]

Feeling very sad for Monty and his family on a personal level, but there has been a sense of inevitability hanging in the air since Sunday.

Looking back, probably arrived at ER too quickly, and would have done better had he served his initial overseas coaching gig somewhere else, before coming to Hibs.

I’ve seen more of Monty than most, and while he will obviously be crestfallen just now, I’m sure his next coaching gig won’t be far away.

Every coach learns something at every club they work at, and when he looks back at his time at Hibs, I’m pretty sure the lessons he learned here…some of them harsh maybe, will help make him a better manager in the future.

He desperately wanted to succeed at Hibs but it wasn’t to be.

I hope whomever takes his place lasts a bit longer and brings us some success, but there are as they say no guarantees.

The caravan moves on.

[tamig]

What a shambles of a club we are. We need the Tech Director announced now....hes already in post....and get the new manager announced now also. Then get a statement out saying exactly what the expectations are for next season. NO PROJECT. A clear statement. Then empty the vast majority of the players.

Tbh, I’d imagine their plan would have been to relocate to the UK anyway for Monty to make a go of his managerial career here.

You don’t uplift your whole life to the other side of the world for one job that is likely, even if successful, to last just a few years. He wasn’t going to be Hibs manager for the rest of his career.

I think he’ll be looking down south now.

We have turned into a laughing stock and they must be stupid if they all think their jobs are safe.

The people at the football club get paid good money and if they simply don’t perform then we need to find someone else for the job.

My worry is recruitment at the club has been shocking - non playing staff / manager and players. So many changes needed if we actually want to progress and be less of a an embarrassment with all the resources we have.

I honestly don't think it matters too much now. Every manager now knows they're one bad run away from a sacking. Using him purely as an example but if McInnes is sitting in 9th come December he may himself find that he's looking for another job. If we came calling with a decent financial package (as well as maybe a lot of assurances on how we operate) I do think he'd take it.

I wanted so much for Monty to succeed but unfortunately he los Me with his very first interview.

How you come across in interviews tells a lot about someone and he just wasn’t convincing enough for me.
However I’d have been willing to forgive said lack of basic interview qualities if I could see any kind of upward trajectory but sadly for everyone that wasn’t the case as I first suspected.

How he managed to get the job in the first place is beyond me.

Anyhoo onwards and upwards.

Always a shame someone losing their job but it really had to happen. Just wasn’t a way back for him.

This next appointment is absolutely massive. Has to be the right guy now.

I think only Maloney can feel hard done by out the three. He got half as many games as Monty. Took over a worse squad than Monty’s. The transfers we made were utter guff for Maloney (out of the 6 only Harry Clarke was any good, and he was only available for 8 games). Plus, we’re likely to end up finishing the same position.

Just putting a question out there , Is with what's happening to us on the managerial sackings of Maloney 4 months , LJ about a year , Monty 9 months going to make it maybe harder to entice a manager at another club that's doing well or won't it matter ? .

Not at all in my opinion. We're still going to have a lot of people wanting the job.

Will we lots of proven, decent managers wanting the job though?

[Saint Hibee]

I wanted so much for Monty to succeed but unfortunately he los Me with his very first interview.

How you come across in interviews tells a lot about someone and he just wasn’t convincing enough for me.
However I’d have been willing to forgive said lack of basic interview qualities if I could see any kind of upward trajectory but sadly for everyone that wasn’t the case as I first suspected.

How he managed to get the job in the first place is beyond me.

Anyhoo onwards and upwards.

On this point, Stephen Robinson interviews very well. Speaks intelligently, thoughtfully, and avoids the usual cliches. I'd prefer MacInnes, but I think Robinson would also do well.

I honestly don't think it matters too much now. Every manager now knows they're one bad run away from a sacking. Using him purely as an example but if McInnes is sitting in 9th come December he may himself find that he's looking for another job. If we came calling with a decent financial package (as well as maybe a lot of assurances on how we operate) I do think he'd take it.

Good enough point about every manager knows they're one bad run away from a sacking though one like Mcinnes
(who I'm not for getting the job though would take over a few others ) might think twice about leaving seeing as the Killie board really stuck by him when things were tough which he might have doubts about he'd get at us going by the last while.


Don’t think it will matter at all.

Managers who are confident in their abilities will be looking at us and wondering the same as the fans - ‘how were they all so ****, I could have sleepwalked into Europe with that lot’

Tbh with you I'm not sure if the squad is as good as some of us think it is , I've seen times this season when the bench had absolutely nothing on it apart from Jair and Levitt type players that offer nothing or youngsters , some of the first team haven't been much better , maybe it was the last managers fault though there seems to be a reoccurring problem for years now within the squad .

Hopefully the next manager comes in and improves us , we are badly ,badly needing some stability at this football club imo .

I also hope we appoint a manager that could Unite the Hibs support rather than what it's like on here the last while in we have been very much split if that's fair .

Is there such a manager ? , I don't know if there is ! .

Fair enough comments from both of you btw 👍

No.

Hibs is a fantastic job on good pay.

It’s win win - do well and get a better job - Struggle and get a good pay off.

Again with this. Killie didn’t stick with him through the tough times last season. They did pretty much how they were expected to do with the squad they had, and the budget they have.

As others have said, it is not nice when anyone loses their job. Feel sorry for him, having brought his family from the other side of the world and now having to sort out what next. He did not annoy me like Johnson. I think he was a good guy, just out his depth at Hibs. He needed to go, but wish him all the best.

BK has made a comment re the sacking
“ The tracksuit NM was wearing when sacked will be available for purchase in the next few days “

Don’t feel sorry about him losing his job at all. It’s not like the real world . Monty will have made a fortune from the club in wages and the pay off he will be receiving for being beyond useless! He will be laughing all the way to the bank and back to another great job in Oz if he wants it.
