Even though LD said hopefully by the end of the month and the net was getting cast wide. I know tomorrow or Monday is by the end of the month but her comments would look a bit silly if we made an appointment so soon.

I'm doubting this will happen tomorrow or Monday

Why did today's updates say it would take time and they were at a very early stage in the process

I thought the same but it’s a done deal.

I won’t outright name him but that came from a text from one of the players around 20 minutes ago.

Yeah, what a muppet she’ll look appointing well ahead of her timeline. Let’s not bother appointing the best candidate and hang around without a manager for a few weeks.

How do you know he's the best candidate though?

The player just wanted to find out your username.

The players don't know who the manager will be.

Go a new route but do the exact same thing...

Sorry I can only doubt this until it happens, it would not reflect well on the club and Leeann if they keep talking about processes, data and getting it right...to then seemingly appoint someone who was pretty much the front runner even before Heckingbottom left.

Respect to them for doing the interviews at a tough time. Hope their actions mirror their words and we are methodical about this appointment. It would be concerning to rush managerial appointment just in case someone else was interested in him. We’re hardly after Klopp or Pep so I don’t get the perceived rush.

"I know someone who works for the club, he told me 2 weeks ago that a decision has been made that Heckingbottom will be here until Christmas, regardless of results."

Bit of a slaver aren't you?

That is like saying the Fav should never win in a horse race it is too obvious

No chance.

If he's told a player before it's been formally announced he should be sacked.

Well done on becoming the first poster to call for his head!

True.

But if that was the case my bet would be they would text fellow players first before texting fans.

They haven't.

Jack Ross worked with a couple at St Mirren?

I don't believe it's done either but it wouldn't be too hard to find the leak if that was the case.

Are we a club that inherently have great managers or something? Think it’s pretty clear what I was saying. Using your analogy, it’s like saying “I’ll spend weeks to work out how to place a bet for a horse race” and then two days later place a sizeable bet. Consideration unfortunately always takes time. Giving someone a 2-3year contract to manage Hibs should not be rushed.

Why should the club rush because the person is the favourite? Can they not wait? I mean, I’m pretty sure a lot of people could wait 2 weeks if they were getting a salary of the amount the next manager will get...The person should really want to work at the club as well.

Can I ask, if a favourite is too obvious in the Hibs manager race, what defines or adds credence to the obviousness of the candidate?

***Heisenberg*** · 07-11-2019 06:15 PM

I can’t see this being true after the stuff the club have put out today.

You might be right but I don't see anything wrong with Leeann saying what she did and then appointing someone within a couple of days. If we were on the verge of getting a deal done, she's hardly going to say so is she?

Having a wide net means it isn't narrow criteria (like we want some with a lot of experience, high-profile, a good of knowledge of the Scottish game etc) it does not necessarily mean we plan to look far and wide.

I would be surprised if the board haven't had a good idea for weeks about possible candidates and then when JR became available they've moved quickly and got their number one pick.

I'd much rather this scenario with JR than the situation across the road where Budge is possibly taking until about Christmas.
