That’s lovely, doesn’t mean you know for certainty that he’d have turned it around.

No manager loses every game, not even Maloney, to suggest any manager who goes on a bad run of form wont win again is ridiculous, or his name is Terry Butcher.

You'd have to be a bit of an idiot to not realise Ross would have done better than Maloney.

You’ll have to point to where I suggested that. I simply said nobody knows for certain that Ross would have done better than Maloney. Feel free to prove how anyone would be able to know for certain.

Stop it now.

All the evidence suggests Jack would have done better than Maloney. It’s ok to admit the club got that one wrong… Ron does.

I have no problem admitting the club got it wrong and they compounded it by appointing Maloney. Doesn’t mean anyone knows for certain that Ross would have done better.

I wouldn't go that far. David Brent talks sense sometimes!

It wasn't really referencing his Hibs interview, which wasn't bad, but stuff he's said and done historically.

You sure are a sensitive bunch though.

Sensitive or youre talking rubbish? Ill go with the latter

Nobody knows for certain that Craig Levein wouldn’t have won the the Europa league this season if hearts hadn’t sacked him when they did.

It’s clear as day that Ross wouldn’t have done as badly as Maloney did.

Sure it will be an interesting appointment. Boy is like the David Brent of football. Starts a sentence and just talks without any idea as to where it's going.

What utter rubbish, don't know what interview you watched because his interview was spot on!!!

It’s not a popular appointment and will be given no leeway others may have got.

Who would have been given leeway? Can you give any examples (from Hibs) when a manager has hit a bad patch and the fans have stuck with them?

Hadn’t realised that the Evening News was back on script kicking Hibs before the announcement was made

Pretty much Alex Miller's whole reign was a bad patch!

What are your three best examples of this behaviour?

It was said quite a lot by Sunderland fans and unfortunately for Johnson it seems to have stuck.

I find it a bit unfair tbh and don’t really see it.

Although we’ll see what we think of his patter when we’re rationalising our first heavy defeat under him.

What I found bit weird yesterday was that he spoke about “the business” and referred to FTSE companies and the like. It sounded a bit weird for a football manager to be coming out with stuff like that, never really heard it before.

It was a comment made by a Sunderland fan, this person thought it sounded clever so decided it would something they'd make a point of.

Honestly I cannot remember a manager come under so much scrutiny for the way they talk before, it's like spoilt bairns not getting their way so they decide to invent reasons to not like LJ.

OK, I'll give the guy one. I'll wait for the next two, and this should be easy seeing as Johnson does it all the time.

[Scorrie]

I’ve just seen LJ interview to be honest, I like what he had to say and how he came across. Has to be given a chance - certainly beyond the League Cup group stages!

You know nothing about me.

Like I just said it wasn't referencing the interview (in which he definitely does still ramble), just a general observation based on what I'd seen of him. It's hardly the biggest insult, and I still quite like the guy and obviously wish him well.

Sure if I made the comment yesterday the reaction here would've been entirely different.

Read my reply (post 5460).

Tbf they are reporting what hibs fans were saying. It’s pish journalism but it’s standard now.

That’s true but they’ve only selected the negative comments to include in the headline when there were positive reactions too.

They lost their article links on this site because of continued negativity towards Hibs and seem to be happy to continue to peddle negativity.

Remember them holing HSL below the waterline by choosing which fans comments to use.

He unfortunately has a similar voice. I think if you actually listen to what he says it's ok.

Then again, "talk is cheap". Duff Jimmy sounded good until he put a team on the park.

Let's just see how he gets on.

It was the article about the guy in the monkey suit on Leith Walk on the day that HSL was launched that did it.

"This person" just thought it was a funny observation.

If this video isn't the epitome of David Brent..... his Hibs interviews have been fine and I hope he succeeds but I wasn't impressed watching this.

I've seen one or 2 say similar but I don't see it at all

Looks like a coach doing his job to me

What part is the epitome of David Brent?

Yeah, keep hearing the David Brent thing but I’m not getting it either.

As someone doing their coaching badges, I actually really enjoyed it. Plenty of good advice and I thought he was communicating well with the players and letting them know that they've done well. Each to their own I guess but just because he's overly enthusiastic, that doesn't necessarily mean he's bad at it.

The "use different parts of the foot" is stupidly basic but surprisingly good advice. You see players at higher levels with nice flicks round the corner, quick passing and often at lower levels the players try to set themselves before playing a pass, slowing the play down. Getting use to flicks round the corner, first time outside of the foot passes etc is all something even professionals need to keep training.

Your team will play how they train, and he seems to enjoy fast paced technical drills, and that bodes very well for the style of play questions etc.
