Wonder if he ever reflects on his role in these failed manager relationships ?

Think he enjoys two up front....
"Two up front is the way forward. Everybody asks me what I prefer and of course it’s two up front. Hibs should be an attacking team. We don’t want to defend, we want to attack all the time, and I think Saturday showed that two up front is a very good solution for the team."

I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell Kamberi that nobody plays 2 up front these days.

Not a great thing to have a track record for if you see yourself playing at a higher level and need to impress future managers enough to make them want to look in a bit more detail at your past record.Last edited by Smartie; 11-11-2019 at 04:21 PM.

He doesn't say too much wrong. He trains hard whether he is in the team or not. He'll try his best if he plays up front himself. He acknowledges the manager's right to make the call.
He just seems to need more 'managing' than some players. He wants to be playing. Probably believes he should be playing every week - and if he isn't he needs to be clear on what he has to do to get back in the team.
He is a talent and it is good to see him playing with a smile on his face again.

I imagine almost all footballers think like this, just most of them don't say it to the press. Flo was getting dropped because he is pretty poor in a team that plays one up front. All his best performances generally come in a two man attack. Plus Heck obviously wanted "His Man" Doidge to succeed and so was less likely to drop him. As it was that failed too. Flo has a big ego I think (I'm guessing as I've never met him and just going on his public statements) which to be honest is a good thing in a footballer on the whole, so he protects his ego by making it the managers fault not his when he is dropped. Let's just hope the new manager gets the team playing like they did on Saturday most weeks, then he'll have no reason to drop him and Flo will be a happy bunny.

I'm sure Kamberi will have spoken out with the full backing of the club. It's no coincidence that this appears after Heckingbottom was sacked.
Kamberi was treated poorly by Lennon and that was widely acknowledged on here?
Heck clearly didn't rate or trust Kamberi to do the business on field, hence playing an out of form Doidge before him and the bizarre 2 minute cameo appearances etc, etc.
Nothing of concern in the interview. It's no surprise that he felt hard done to, players who are dropped and deployed strangely often do.
Who knows what happened at Grasshoppers, but I wouldn't be getting concerned about Kamberi and attitude on the basis of an interview with the Evening News or with his dissatisfaction with Lennon (has he ever said anything negative about Lennon anyway).

A few players who started on Saturday seemed to relish the absence of PH. Watching Naismith you would think we had signed a new defender.
A great away day and we should be hopeful that we can carry on in this manner.

Both Lennon and Heckingbottom had their best periods with us when they played Kamberi in a front 2 with McLaren and McNulty respectively.

Hecky will probably come back with something along the lines of how Kamberi begged to be sold in the summer.

He's pretty much repeating what most of us feel. Hibs don't suit dour no frills football. If we get beat we get beat but we should always strive to attack. I'm a big believer in clubs having DNAs, fans most of the time get a sense when something fits and also when it doesn't.

He’s not complaining about getting dropped, he’s complaining about not being communicated any reason for being dropped. Seems a totally reasonable complaint to me.

I don't see much wrong with what he said in that interview, bearing in mind English isn't his first language.
He's basically saying he was frustrated at not being picked more often despite working hard in training and playing well when he came on as a sub. The kind of thing that's been said a million times by players who feel they should be starting games and aren't. Nothing controversial.
I think he had butted heads with managers because he has a bit of an ego and needs it massaged to get the best out of him. Lennon will have done that when things were good and we were winning but when it was all going wrong he went to the opposite end of the scale and shot Flo's confidence to pieces.
Heckingbottom seems focused on the technical aspects of coaching but not the best at actual man management and dealing with player's personalities meaning guys like Flo that need an arm around the shoulder and praise or encouragement aren't getting it.

""Absolutely. Two up front is the way forward. Everybody asks me what I prefer and of course it’s two up front. Hibs should be an attacking team. We don’t want to defend, we want to attack all the time, and I think Saturday showed that two up front is a very good solution for the team.""
Orgasmic reading material.

I don’t go along with the inferences here that Kamberi was the catalyst in poor relationships with managers. PH and NL were poor man managers IMHO, PH was clearly blinkered in his insistence that a lone striker was the way to start a match. Saturday knocked that notion on it’s back. I also think that NL tended to bully players. PH and NL are no longer with us, Kamberi is, so I say give Kamberi full support and let him make his contribution now and when the new guy comes in. To the anti Kamberi lobby, I would say that, if Kamberi and the new manager don’t hit it off, there might be more conclusive evidence that he is hard work for managers but, in the meantime, give him some slack. The club and the players need a bit of harmony in the next couple of weeks.
