Maloney Hits Back At Ross

[Chuck Rhoades]

On BBC Sportsound after the match. Said JR’s comments weren’t required. Felt he was disrespectful to him and his back room staff. Certainly was not happy.

Ross remarks 'disrespectful' - Maloney
FT: Hibernian 1-0 Cove Rangers (AET)
Hibernian manager Shaun Maloney doesn't sound too pleased about the Jack Ross interviews that appeared in some of today's newspapers.

"We had the previous manager come and speak out publicly which was difficult," he says. "I found it quite disrespectful to me and my staff and the club more importantly. That wasn't appreciated.

"Martin Boyle... We'll know more in the next 24-48 hours but I have to say the boy himself has been very good, very professional

I read his comments earlier and i thought what he said was fair. I'm sure someone will post a link for you to the article

Nothing. Shaun maybe just read the headline too.

Maybe the journalist knows SM really well too and told him what was really said.

I'm not - an ex manager going to the media hawking a player and saying he's been in daily dialogue with him undermines the new manager and Jack knows that. Maloney is right to call him out.

I agree. I’d guess it’s the stuff with Boyle that has annoyed Maloney.

Spot on with this.

Fair play to him. Ross is yesterday’s man sniping from the sidelines, Maloney is the man doing the job Ross thinks he should still be doing. I liked Ross, but he can go and **** himself if he thinks he’s more important than the current manager. I’m not interested in anything Ross has got to say anymore, Maloney is the main man.

I didn’t have a big problem with what Ross said this morning but you’re right.

If Neil Lennon or Heckingbottom came out and said he’d been speaking to Boyle daily and he should get his move while he was manager, i suspect Ross would be telling them to mind their own business.

I think Sean will be more annoyed about the Boyle chat.

I felt the same, was really surprised he chose to bring it up. Didn't think JR said anything untoward, nor anything re: Boyle that we as supporters haven't been saying ourselves, so not sure why he was feeling so disrespected.

[Nicho87]

Love it.

Maybe some think maloney isn’t an argumentative softly spoken type.

Sometimes less is more. But that had to be said.

Well in Shaun

Tbh, it's made him seem a bit thin skinned and overly sensitive unless Ross has said more than I've read.

Didn’t Ross say he’s been speaking to Boyle and then publicly stating Hibs should let Boyle go?

That puts Hibs in a fairly difficult situation and suggests Boyle was desperate to go. While that may be right, there’s no need for that conversation to go public.

So when JR says things like, Boyle ‘should be allowed to leave’ and ‘hibs shouldn’t stand in his way’ that’s all fine? there’s some sort of narrative that we are the big bad wolf here trying to get the best value for one of our contracted players and JR is feeding that, do we think JR would have been happy with Boyle leaving if he was still in post? would he just roll over and accept first offer since it’s life changing for Boyle? of course not and he should keep his opinions on the matter to his private conversations with his friend.

If its purely just on the sun article then Maloney's comments are shocking almost Embarrassing. Ross never really said anything wrong (again if it's just the article) and don't know why he's so bothered

I’m with you on that…ignore it Shaun….if he’s sensitive to that, he’s going to have a lot of frustration in his career as a manager

Away you go. He’s quite right. Ross using the Boyle situation to get back into the papers to promote himself. If Shaun felt the comments were out of order then I’m all for pulling him about it. Under the Ross regime we were too silent when folk were openly critical of our club in the press.

Well done Shaun.

The previous manager coming out in the press telling the club to let their best player go? It’s disrespectful

[Vault Boy]

Probably makes me a walking contradiction, but I think they've both got a point. I wasn't angered by anything Jack Ross said, I felt for him with the way things ended. Wish him all the best going forward.

But for Shaun, it simply complicates things. A former manager talking about current players and ongoing transfer situations clearly won't be palatable for him. Again, without having any trouble personally with what Jack has said, I don't mind Maloney speaking up here.

Get aff the fence man.

[madhatter]

Totally understandable for me. He's just into his first managerial position and ex-manager decides to come out of the silence to talk about one of his players being sold.

Nothing necessarily untoward about Ross' comments but losing your best player will annoy you and seeing comments about it from your predecessor won't help that frustration.

[Nicho87]

100% it’s the comments regarding maloneys player Martin Boyle

Maloney has no real interest on how or why Ross got sacked

Where maloney becomes concerned is an ex manager just out the door saying aye hibs should do the right thing and let him move

That is an opinion which Ross should have said no comment to the question

I can totally see why maloney would be pissed. Ross hasn’t done any articles, not one and the day before a move comes about he’s saying Boyle should go.

Ross would have been out the door a lot quicker if he never had the joys of having Boyle to rely / bail him out on.

I think it's because he has been in 'regular contact' with the player - no need to say that - that undermines the manager and can cause player/manager mistrust. No need for Ross to say that other than for devilment.

Thought his comments about losing his job were fair enough. Much as I was glad to see him go, from a professional perspective it was obvious he’d feel hard done by. Thought the comments about Boyle were a bit ‘look at me the players still love me’. Wonder if he’d have been in the press recommending the club let Boyle go if he was still in charge….

That was my thought when I saw JR's comments, in a way saying its still his dressing room, what position does that put SM in? Lost a bit of respect for JR with that....I was in the camp that would have kept him but I fully understand why he was sacked, results were terrible and performances indicated they were merited.
Actually encouraged to hear Sean take the bull by the horns, rather than being this skinned I see it as strong leadership, its his team now and its his dressing room.
