Fans favourite as player

Four letter nickname

Unconvincing managerial record before joining Hibs

But steadies the ship in early games

Signs favourite players

Predeliction for signing midfielders and forwards

Fails to sort out defensive frailities

Dumps no1 goalie in favour of number 2 who flatters to deceive

Shoe horns in additional forward at expense of midfield

Fails to take advantage against smaller SPL teams

Out within 18 months?

I'm getting a sense of deja vu...

Unconvincing? Mixu won a championship and qualified for Europe with previous clubs. Hughes gave Falkirk their longest spell in the top flight for a long time and got them to cup finals.

I have only seen him against celtic, and read the BBC updates & watched the highlights online last night as i was in Brighton, however i dont think he was at fault for any of the poor defense that led to the goal.

FAR too early to judge Stack

Yogi has brought in far better players. Yogi has said he was looking for a defender but wont bring a player in just for the sake of it, it needs to benefit the team. Mixu bought rubbish his style of play was terrible, failed to admit to mistakes etc etc etc. Mixu was very limited as a manager, Yogi is prepared to try different things judging by the start to the season, I think he just trying to find the right blend. Mixu loved the hoofball and never strayed from it. Mixu sat slumped in his seat when things were going wrong, evidence that he did not have a clue. yogi has no problems with making changes, he just needs a bit time to find the right team, formation and then things will click. De ja vu? I would have loved to have had the de ja vu on the feel good factor of signing the likes of stokes and miller!

johansson? I never thought that was a good signing! Are you telling me that the signings that mixu made gave the fans the same feeling as the ones that yogi has? Dont think so! Yogi has had one bad result and people are clutching at straws comparing him to Mixu. Crazy! I suppose Rangers and Celtic are worrying about their management as well because they have slipped up?

I think we should leave comparisons of Yogi and Mixu until more than 4 games into the season.

This is the type of post that seems to be common place on this board nowadays. One bad performance/result and we're comparing Yogi to Mixu

What chance does he have when he is shot down in flames after one, yes one, bad result.

It's laughable and truly represents the fickle nature of a large number of posters on here.

I for one am prepared to give Yogi as much time as he needs to get us back to where we want to be and I believe he will do it. I won't be marking every bad result/performance (and there is likely to be a few along the way just as are there are with every team) by comparing him to our most clueless manager since blobby after just 4 games or by making mountains out of mole hills like some of us seem to do all too easily.

We are still pretty deep in transition.

Patience people.

That's what I thought. Seemed too well thought out and specific to be ironic.

Kind of like the begginings of witch hunt!

sorry ironic smilley...

***Hibbyradge*** · 15-09-2009 11:24 AM

Good post, imo.

The observations are interesting.

It's also true that the feelgood factor surrounding the Riordan signing was much higher than Stokes.

The excitement about the signing of Liam Miller and Johannson is about the same.

For me, the only real difference at this point, is that Yogi talks a much better game and is much more inspirational.

Given that LH hasn't drawn any conclusions, why shouldn't he compare like with like at this point?

Those of you who have jumped in have been caught, hook, line and sinker.

I'd be willing to wager that Liberal Hibby will be defending John Hughes long after many of you have lost patience.

I did read your post and I am able to sense irony.

Your post did not have an ironic tinge to it and IMO it is unfair to make comparisons between Yogi and his predecessor after one poor game.

It just seemed like another doom and gloomer post IMO which seems to be the norm these days.

Furthermore, I don't feel that 'we' have been caught hook, line and sinker as Mr Radge has put it. I don't think you can blame anyone for getting excited about the appointment of Yogi and the players he has bought. This is a comparison that you simply cannot make with Mixu.

I am however realistic and patient in terms of how long it will take him to gel these players and get the bet out of them.

I'll compare him to Mixu if in a year we are as pish as we were last year. I will find a better comparison than how many letters they have in their names though!

4 games.

I didn't realise there was a minimum for comparisons.

No-one is blaming you. I'm excited and very hopeful. I bet LH is too.

How do you know? Did you make a comparison? I thought you said that you won't make any comparisons till after a year. I'm well confused.

What was the wager? And which players won't pay up? And why?

Disgrace!

If you sign up & watch HibsTV

you will understand the difference between Mixu & Yogi !!! He's said all along that we are well short of the standard he's aiming for - the reaction to sunday is a result of us Hibbies getting carried away with the start to the season !!!

If anyone read what I've posted over the years then they would know I don't believe managers should be sacked after 18 months. Especially as I posted the same on the Burley thread.

The irony is that for many of those saying don't judge Yogi after four games were exactly those calling for Mixu's head after one pre-season...

Mixu was appointed in January.

Sorry, if I've missed any irony.
