So what are the boards realistic options
Plan A Stick with Heckingbottom see if it improves and find funds for next transfer window - then panic if we seriously run risk of relegation
Plan B Punt him now / soon and appoint a steady hand with knowledge of the Scottish game to steer clear of relegation - in other words one of the failed Largs mafia
Plan C Punt him soon with a new ideas / new approach / non Scottish coach and risk another Heckingbottom type disaster
I hope Leanne and Ron are seriously sounding out people as we speak but I honestly fear that they aren't. This to me will really show what our new Owner is about. Does he suffer fools gladly and accept what is obviously failure? Does he have the cash to punt Heckingbottom and pay compensation and fund a new manager and his transfer demands at Christmas ? Or are we stuck with this and become a mediocre bottom six club? Christ this is depressing times.

Stubbs
Collins
Jack Ross
Davie Moyes
Martin O'Neil
Strachan
Stephen Robinson
Some of the names I've heard mentioned in the past week or so as replacements for PHB either in the short term or the long term. Right now I think any of them would improve our fortunes!

Stubbs Robinson or McLeish for me realistically.
Ross or Moyes otherwise.

I’d be delighted to get Moyes or Strachan in.
Can’t see either

I think what you/we are all forgetting is would a lot of the people on the list actually want the job?
Moyes are you kidding - 1 he would want bucket loads of money - 2 he would want a huge transfer budget - 3 he is only biding time until either the Celtic job comes up or a Premier League or Championship job comes up that can pay him millions then he would be offski

I mentioned him in a previous thread no seemed interested in him as an option, I think he would do a job for us at least he tries to play football and he has played for us. Also think Scot Gemmill would be worth a punt, But Steve Robinson would definitely steady the ship if we could get him he'd be my preferred choice.Last edited by badabing67; 23-09-2019 at 02:44 PM.

I was kinda thinking Robinson but he's been at motherwell what 3 seasons now and never been in the top 6
Think we can muster something a bit better.Last edited by Hibernian32; 23-09-2019 at 02:52 PM. Reason: Mistake

A proper established, experienced manager, preferably that’s won something in his career.

Stubbs did well but for me Hibs isn't a job for a rookie.
Badly as it ended we felt like a big club under Lennon.
You don't get that with a new manager generally.

Roy Keane? Not sure how good he would be but would make for great viewing.

These criteria do rather clash with all of the named examples elsewhere on this thread showing that the number of managers that fit that bill and are vaguely realistic for Hibs is not high at all. Originally Posted by WhileTheChief..

I'd like someone I've never heard of with some pedigree somewhere hot and totally random, with no preconceptions or respect for the Old Firm and a network of contacts outside the UK. He must also have a really cool name

Agree, i dont get the excitement about this guy. Might be a good time to appoint a foreign manager once Hecky goes Originally Posted by Hibernian32

Tommy Wright ticks all these boxes and with a club that survive on a fraction of the resourses Hibs have. Originally Posted by WhileTheChief..
