Something you can say about Robinson or McInnes teams is that they’re well organised, fit and have a few players that can get stuck in and win battles. By being well drilled and competitive in this league teams can be greater than the sum of its parts. These are all qualities you could rarely apply to any Hibs team in the 30 odd years I’ve been supporting them.

Don’t know, but none of the ones mentioned so far. A manager coming in now would have to start again and we cannot afford to do that at this time. For that reason I think we would be better sticking with what we have and only move to replace when it becomes obvious that things aren’t going to get better. I would be very surprised if we don’t pick up points once we get the Celtic game out of the way.

The buzz I felt about Roy Keane being potentially given the job was something I hadn’t felt in my soul since Lennon got the job.
I’m not saying I particularly want Keane, but I’m Keane-curious.
What he would give us in terms of experience, contacts and radgeness is something we haven’t seen in the dugout since Lennon did the airplane.
I just want Hibs to be exciting again."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Every manager, you’d expect, would have a team that is aggressive, works hard and is up for it. I’d imagine that’s a minimum. I’m certain our previous managers including the current one will have said so during their interview/first press conference that that’s what we can expect.
So why have they all failed? Were they liars? Or do we have a club culture/mentality that perennially sees us being soft as ****?"Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

Robinson was my choice when LJ was emptied so I'll stand by that. Wouldn't say no to McInnes either.

We struggled down our right side - we had a (?) 4th choice RB playing who has just turned 17. We WILL get players back from injury and international duty and that should improve us.
Also, many of us have moaned about the centre of midfield for years. We’ve signed central midfielders, neither of whom were fit to start yesterday. There’s a chance that they’ll be an improvement on the horror show pairing who have been mince for months. Just not having to carry Dylan Levitt will improve our team beyond recognition imo.
Hanlon and Rocky - whilst neither is perfect - would be an upgrade on yesterday’s centre halves.
A new man coming in will probably look at Levitt’s cv, think a Wales international who was at Man Utd until fairly recently would be a player to build a team around and find out to his cost that he really isn’t after a few games. At least Monty should (!!!!!!!!) be closer to making these realisations than anyone else will be.

Offer it to mcinnes.
Double his salary
Tell him he's got 5 years and write into it that he won't be sacked bar relegation. Let him build something with some time.
We've got a bit cash, flex it in the right way. Get a manager who knows what he's doing up here and who can spot a player.
Stop pissing about.

Punt Monty, SDG in for the rest of the season then tempt Steve Clarke away after our failed Euro campaign.

I’m still not done with Montgomery and would give him the season. Should he finish the season as things are going then we should be tapping into the Bournemouth link up.
Iraola doesn’t look like he will be leaving any time soon so Foley should be offering someone they have their eye on the Hibs job on the promise that if he’s doing well he gets the Bournemouth job when the time comes.
The downside of this is we may loose a good manger earlier than expected (not to mention the usual no guarantee of success) but the upside is we could potentially bring in a manger an EPL team is ready to take a punt on.

McInnes for me is a no brainer and should have been here already. We've messed around too much with managers who are untried and untested in the SPL. McInnes did a great job at Aberdeen over many seasons and now has Killie punching above their weight. We cannot afford to take any more risks when making our next managerial appointment.

Many seem to assume McInnes would jump at chance of managing Hibs or Lennon would be available while with a chance of being Ireland manager .
Before paying compensation for McInnes , Robinson etc I`d be looking at other options like :
1. Sticking with NM and seeing how things work out after signing half a dozen players in last week or so . Seems to have a good team of assistants too .
2. Brian McD if he was interested in being manager for a few weeks / months . He`s got a better managerial record than the others mentioned so far .
3. Mixture of folk already at club till end of the season - DG , Darren McG , Gareth Evans ,.....even Lewis S and Hanlon .
4. Other options , mainly thinking of next season - Stephen Kenny ?
For next season , will obviously depend on which league we`re in , but there are a lot of options and any candidates will obviously want to know what situation is regarding decisionmaking , signings etc .

We can’t gamble this time, the next appointment has to be right. They need to stop trying to pluck folk from obscurity and go with someone who is proven in the league and has a good track record behind them.
Has to be Mcinnes or Lennon both have great records in the league and shouldn’t be unrealistic targets.

Worth noting Aberdeen's average attendance the season before McInnes was appointed was 9615. The no lockdown seasons under his watch were 12394, 13359, 13084, 12640, 15775, 14924 and 13796. The notion McIness drives fans away doesn't stand up to scrutiny.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

If McInnes done that we would likely be playing group stage football several times. There's no danger crowds would be down.
