Thread: Scott Brown

  1. #1

    Scott Brown

    Anyone think he could make a useful contribution to Hibs as a player, should the chance arise for him to give something back?

    Absolutely!

    And he has said in interviews that he would like to play again for Hibs one day, so we might see him in a Hibs strip next season maybe.

    For the money we would need to pay him we could buy two or three players with potential to get selling on fees......

    If he was willing to drop way down on wages then yes, that would change the dynamic for sure. It's just a rarity for footballers to agree to that.....

    Woukdnt any new manager want a period to bed himself in with someone like Scott in the dressing room?

    I don’t know what would be bring - steel, competitiveness, demanding, organisation, tactics.
    Could he drop back into a sweeper role?

    I’m not sure.

    Who sits out? I'd have rather have Jackson, Newell, Gogic and Allan. Unless he's playing for peanuts its a no from me.

    I'm not sure why people sometimes expect players to play for less than they're worth - why would they do that?

    As with many things in life, if something is given for free / less than it's worth, then there is also often no commitment given.

    If Ross thinks he's worth a place in the team, then fine - make him an offer. But don't expect him to do it as a favour to Hibs.

    No. We should be looking for good young players with similar attributes.

    Yes. We don't have a proper captain or enough leaders at Hibs. When we go down in games, we stay down. Brown might help change that.

    I think it’s easy to exhibit leadership if your team is sweeping all before it. As his fitness levels have dropped his leadership qualities disappeared from view at the time his team needed him most.Not for me.

    Yes.....kind of......it depends on our realistic ambitions. He is a very talented player and his achievements will demand the respect of dressing room and opposition alike. He would be an asset for a team pushing for a top 4 finish no doubt, but is that where we are? My reading of Ron's ambitions are to grow the size of the club.....buy players with potential and develop them....turn us into bigger club with grander long term aspirations, Brown would be a short term asset but as others have said....at what cost?

  20. #19
    He won't be at celtic next season and IF his desire is to still stay in Scotland, where else is he gonna go. Can't seem him at rangers or hearts somehow

  21. #20
    Not as a player, but as a manager I think he'd be brilliant with Hibs, just my opinion though.

  22. #21
    Absolutely not.

    Based on managing zero matches ever?

    Anyway, as I was saying, I think he would be a great manager of Hibs in the future. just my opinion though.

    The south of France I believe. The rest of him are heading there when he retires.

    United we stand here....

    It's more of a hunch or a hope than an opinion.

    I thought Sauzee would be the best manager we'd ever had, but we know how that turned out.

    I had no idea about Franck's knowledge of tactics and how to use/change them. No idea about his reading of opponents strengths and weaknesses, no idea if he could spot a player or deal in the transfer market, and no clue about his ability to motivate the ones at his disposal.

    A player's ability on the pitch is no reflection of their managerial potential.

    The romantic in me would love SB to become a great Hibs manager, but the chances of that are very low.

    Typical Celtic player.

    I can totally see where you're coming from, and the Sauzee 'experiment' didn't work out well, but with me it's SB's knowledge of the Scottish game after years of experience in this particular league that would certainly be a great help IMO, but you're probably right, the chances of it happening are probably quite low.

    He was my amateur team manager for a few years. He was good.

    I’m aware that’s basically only a step up from being good on Football Manager on the PC.
