Would you be happy if Mackay comes in as manager?

[GreenCastle]

This is not a thread to discuss MM and his history (plenty of others) - just a simple yes or no if Hibs were to make a change of manager.

[Callum_62]

Interim I'd be ok with it

Not as permanent though

[B.H.F.C]

No. If he had to take a game or two I could live with it.

But if we do sack Gray, we should have someone appointed by the time we play again anyway.

[Unseen work]

Yes

It would be the most sensible decision imo

No one else at the club is experienced in that field whatsoever

Black Knight’s will be in charge of selecting the new manager so that lessens the load for Malky and let him take care of the team until the new man is in

[Smartie]

Absolutely not.

What the **** has got into people that this makes any sense whatsoever?

[Bridge hibs]

No

[flash]

No problem with him holding the fort for a couple of weeks but that's it.

[Albert Kidd 86’]

Personally, I would not employ him in any position full stop, he and his pal give off strong shyster vibes.

[Unseen work]

Absolutely not.

What the **** has got into people that this makes any sense whatsoever?

Who else is there to choose from that would make sense?

[Callum_62]

Absolutely not.

What the **** has got into people that this makes any sense whatsoever?Who else is taking the team while we find a new manager?

I can't think of anyone else tbh?

Or do you mean permanent manager?

Go back to the initial appointment of Gray, it’s actually ****ing bonkers that gray is the manager and McKay whatever he is……. I’d have appointed neither but McKay is the guy who’s actually managed/head coached football teams.

I’ve gone with the chain of thought that gray is mckay’s puppet, therefore no - get him to **** too!

[AndyM_1875]

He would only come in as caretaker. And that would be fine. Gives BKG time to source a new Coaching Team

[Hiber-nation]

Add as temp only to the choices then I can vote.

[wookie70]

Surely one of his main jobs if SDG is no longer in post is to replace him and learn from the mistakes of his first effort at finding a manager. I'd rather see McGregor get a chance given how the U18s are going and MM can advise if needed. The problem is unless they have identified someone then it may take a while to find a replacement. The international break is a good opportunity while we have a couple of weeks without games so if they are going to sack SDG then now is the time.

[Vault Boy]

No.

[GloryGlory]

No option for not bothered either way. If he comes in for a couple of games as interim whilst the perm replacement is found so be it.

[Springbank]

My preference would be that the three sackings are Samson, May and Craig

Mackay moves to assistant manager, to give Gray much better experience to work with on the training field and in the dug out

Unlikely scenario, but that's where I see Mackay bringing greatest value to the club

[Leitherhibs]

Embarrassing to even ask the question.

Another rookie who happens to be a club playing legend? That's gone well with Sauzee and Gray before, eh?

Don’t want McKay near Hibs in the first place in any capacity

Same. He needs to go along with the board asap.

‘Hibernian football club would like to thank David for all he’s done for the club. David has been relieved of his duties. David will now take control of the club while we look for David’s successor’.

[The Captain....]

Don't want MM at the club in any capacity. He should not be tolerated.

"..and will be considered for the role of next permanent head coach".

[007 Mickey Weir]

No!!

I was in hospitality on Saturday. Met Kensal and McKay. Ben came across really well. Genuine. He is really hurting and is desperate to give the footballing department all the resources they need to be a success.

McKay just came across arrogant.

[1875Sean]

No would rather have big daz if it was only for a game or 2

[Paulie Walnuts]

Absolutely not.

Don’t want him at the club in any capacity, never mind as the manager, interim or not.

Ditto. A massive no from me. Its bad enough i know he’s ‘upstairs’.

[norhfc]

A big no no for me. What has he actually done in his current position at the club ?

[Cabbage-Patch]

If it was literally a few weeks until the Knights find our new man then I wouldn't have an issue with it. There is literally nobody else at the club just now who could do it. Eddie May needs to go along with the everyone else. Complete clean break

[nickwhibs]

No

This x1000.

Darren McGregor.

Or I’ll do it if he doesn’t want the job.

I promise I’d get better results than we’ve seen recently.

[Jim44]

No. I was getting the impression that radical changes were needed throughout the club. Appointing Mackay would be a continuation of the malaise ( of which he is a part ) that’s been dragging the club down for years.

[keep the faith]

No

[Coco Bryce]

Nope.

[TrinityHibby]

Yes only as interim

You got one of them magic hats

[Souter96Mac]

Absolutely not - would rather the kit man takes charge.

Mackay and the rest of the quadrant can boost.

[wookie70]

Another rookie who happens to be a club playing legend? That's gone well with Sauzee and Gray before, eh? I should have been clearer. In the caretaker role for Daz while MM sorts our a replacement. To be honest I didn't want MM at the club and my view hasn't changed. That was based on his experience rather than reputation

[Whelahan 1875]

Absolutely not!

[Alfred E Newman]

He's only been here 4 months.

[PatHead]

I don't care how nice he is or how much Ben is hurting or how desperate he is for things to improve. He is not up to the job. That is the sole reason he should go.

Mackay is totally different. Whether or not he should have got a job with us is irrelevant and a totally different discussion. He was manager of a Ross County team that was full of lower league English players that dragged along the bottom of the league and avoided relegation by Patrick Thistle imploding in the final minutes of the play offs.
He is now using the same agent to fill our squad with the same crap and dragged us down to that level.
The quicker we get rid of him the better.

[random sub]

A club like ours should have social, cultural and community values that underpin decision making. MM should never have been brought into the club anyway and to make him manager would further disenfranchise a lot of supporters

[cammy1969]

If DG isn’t relieved of his duties by Wednesday I can’t see them sacking him anytime soon, with the break now is the correct time for it to happen. I would be astonished if they haven’t been sounding out prospective managers to replace him if there is any chance they are letting him go.

He’s still aligned with people we want to see the back of, so I wouldn’t want to see him around if we were fortunate enough to get a cathartic clear out. On a point of interest, I wonder what money Mackay is on in relation to the average money our managers earn.

Bringing in an inexperienced coach who’s never managed at first team level.

Why didn’t we think of that before ?
:confused:

[Hibs Go Bragh]

Mackay is the one who told most of this squad they won't be missed when they leave next summer. If these players arent playing for SDG they're certainly not going to play for Mackay, even if it was just for 2 games. I'm convinced he's caused massive unrest within the squad already. He needs to go!

[Contador]

Even as interim would be a total embarrassment.

To the point i'd rather leave SDG in the role, find a new man behind the scenes, then appoint him shortly after removing Gray.

Yup, not Mackay for me either...He'd be allowed ONE lame defeat and we'd be rightly calling for him to go too.

I thought after Saturday's first half debacle and at the final whistle then the Board would be collectively ****ting themselves, and some hard talking would be taking place with the BKs regarding a new coach, the BKs taking over sourcing of players, with the priority being looking for an out-of-contract experienced GK at the top of the list with Bursik's loan deal being cancelled.

This inaction will relegate us, and now is not the time for the Board's egos to be holding things up any longer.

[AberdonianHibee]

Shouldn’t be at the club at all let alone as manager.

Probably too much Jim.
I think we all agree most of the damage was done long before MM came in. If SDG goes somebody has got to try and make the best of it with this dross till a permanent replacement comes in. There may be someone in the pipeline, I don’t know, but whoever it is will have a tough job on his hands.

[eastmainsmsh]

No he was a decent manager but sadly blighted his copybook and only here as mcphersons mate he was hunted by Ross County ffs

[hibee-boys]

Is that you Ben?😂

[Hibiza]

No

[MKHIBEE]

No. Never. Not under any circumstances. Ever.

[Since452]

If be fine with it. Temporarily.

[Gatecrasher]

Depends if he improves things or not 🤷

[Brizo]

No.

I didn't want him anywhere near ER for off-field and on-field reasons. While off-field reasons took up most of the debate when he was appointed I always felt he was yesterdays man . a manager who'd had his successful times but was now sustaining a career based on past achievements. Unfortunately I can see it happening as we have a golden quadrangle of incompetence driven by arrogance, ego , a lack of any self-awareness and no understanding of our club, its values and history.

[chasitup]

No, absolutely not.

[Baader]

No

[Winston Ingram]

No, but i'd take him over the current management team

[Just Alf]

No, but i'd take him over the current management teamSort of feeling that way myself :-/

[Bobby's Cinema]

No no no. Exactly what I feared when he got the job sitting above a rookie head coach.

[Crazyhorse]

‘Hibernian football club would like to thank David for all he’s done for the club. David has been relieved of his duties. David will now take control of the club while we look for David’s successor’.

To be honest that would rank quite highly amongst board statements over the past couple of years. 😅
We really are stuck at the moment with a ‘golden Quadrant’ who resemble a golden slower… totally full of p iss

[1875M]

No. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the club in the first place.

[Nicho87]

Absolutely not!
