You are maybe thinking about this from a Hibs fan perspective though. If I wasn't a Hibs fan and wanted a successful football managerial career I would take the Hibs job try to get the success as fast as possible and hopefully get the job at Celtic, Rangers or a Championship club down south. Remember there is absolutely no loyalty in football, managers will jump from job to job for money to pay the bills and, if they are any good, will try to work their way up to the major leagues to make the big bucks. Very few managers probably care about the building side of the game, Howe almost suggested in his Newcastle interview that he is only thinking about this season and staying up (highly likely if they stay up he will be replaced soon enough with a higher profile manager as the club spend money). Watford sack managers almost as often as seasons change and still are able to recruit managers.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Hibs are not that dissimilar to a lot of clubs our size. We have sacked some managers far too quickly. However, fairly certain Jack Ross has outlasted the typical stay for a lot of managers in world football. I'm sure the average was around 1.5 years - I'm sure it will vary depending on source but nevertheless managers don't stay for 5-6 years at a club building an empire. Not at our level. Certainly not when having a complete collapse.

The game plan in an attacking sense gives the impression that we are only trying to score goals from headers. Out wide, cross, defender wins, out wide, cross, hit it too low, defender wins again and repeat. Not many alternative ideas or much will to try anything different. The most predictable side in the league and an opposition managers dream.

A lot of the "flair tradition" stuff around Hibs is misty-eyed crap, and I say that as a supporter who lists amongst his favourite ever Hibs players as Edwards, Latapy, Jackson, Stanton, McGinn, Brownlie, Paatelainen, Ambrose, and Sauzee.
All guys that could play and get you off your seat, but ultimately pragmatism (especially in the modern game) will trump flowing football/flair or whatever label you want to put on it.
This current team, and manager, can't seem to at least guarantee some kind of cohesive game plan every week due in large part to an ageing, threadbare, sub-standard squad; and that current paucity of playing staff is firmly on the club.
It's a cliche, but any good teams have a decent spine; top-class imposing goalkeeper, dominant centre-half, a playmaker in the middle of the park and a centre forward that can take the ball in and ensure the team are mostly on the front foot during games.
However, that means taking a calculated punt and spending a bit of money which we still seem stubbornly reluctant to do.

3 shots on target from 15 attempts according to BBC. Ross is resembling a Butcheresque scenario. The same players are now not gelling under Ross. Bottom Six.

In business, would you sack a bad GM off the back of half a bad 1/4, even if his last 8 had been strong?

Funnily enough, neilson mentioned this in an interview when talking about their players coming to the end of their contract. He said you'll get more out of a player fighting for a contract rather than those that are on a long deal as they know they are safe

Really Torn between giving Ross time which before last night I felt he had earned. Or, moving for Neil as he’s available.
Neil’s record trumps Ross…

Still nothing on YouTube ("highlights" or inteviews) or twitter which isn't normal.
Wonder if something is happening...

I have a hunch he may have resigned from the “taking responsibility” line he used in his press conference last night.
Much as the last few games can’t be tolerated, he’s a classy guy.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

McGinns red last night was a shambles. Hanlon was unlucky. Debatable it was even a foul never mind a yellow.
