They just had one so maybe think it's time to try something different.

In the ideal world he would serve his apprenticeship at other clubs then come home to us.

Was Aiden McGeady not pretty complimentary about SDG.

They’ve just sacked an experienced manager haven’t they?

I think Bullen was experienced actually but not sure what jobs he has had before so I could be talking rubbish.

He was an experienced coach, but think the Ayr job was his 1st Manager appointment
He did well last season, but no idea what’s happened to them this season

Aye he slated them all bar SDG I think.

Scott Brown seems to be the favourite, probably take Whittaker with him too

Probably a good shout. Good gig for whoever gets it, seem to be doing okay off the park. Feels familiar...

One of his first games could be at Ibrox in the cup!

We live in Ayr now. They train at Cambusdoon Cricket Club in Alloway which is just down the road from us, we are actually the next street over from Graeme Mathie.

Local chat is that the interviews are at Cambusdoon and a certain Lee Johnson has been interviewed as he was seen with Mathie and Davie Smith their relatively new owner at the training Astro.

Surely Johnson was just scouting out venues for zoom lessons.

I'd quite like this to be true. I loved his interviews, just not in the guise of him being Hibs manager.

That’s exactly what I said. I personally know a coach who works for their academy full time - this includes schools based work in the afternoons as well as club coaching but he is adamant that none of them know a thing other than what they’re hearing as well. Given they train at a different venue that’s possible.

Scott Brown got the Ayr gig according to the red tops. Announcement tomorrow.

Grew up in Ayr, much of the town is past its best but Alloway and Doonfoot are lovely areas.

Had a paper round out of Doonfoot stores as a lad and would do runs around the village, cycling past Burns Cottage on my way back home at the end of the round. Happy days.

We’ve been down here a number of years now. Quite a good few Hibees live here.

I was the only Hibby at Belmont Academy, didn't know of any others in the town sadly.
Oddly enough George Foulkes stayed just down the road from me and his wife Liz who was Lord Provost for a while was quite friendly with my parents.

She must be some lady. Lord Provost and washing his soiled breeks all the time.

I went to Belmont in the early 70s, but admittedly wasn't a Hibby then.

Grew up in Prestwick, Ayr Academy for me, bit older than you but Ian Ure was ahead of me at school.

Scott Brown confirmed at Ayr

According to the current (as impressive as ever) bbc:

"The 38-year-old... has signed a deal until June 20026".

That's quite a length of contract.

Was interviewed and our preferred candidate over Heckingbottom, but apparently wanted more than four months salary as a payoff, if sacked.

Best of luck to him. Great if he can prove himself a good manager and maybe end up back at ER one day.

My gut feeling at present though is that there might be a bit of a Wayne Rooney element to this appointment (ie big name rather than proven manager...'Scott Brown's Ayr United' etc) but hopefully not.

Best of luck to him, anyone that goes into management is better off starting at a small club, I'm not sure if Ayr only wanted him because of his name though rather than his ability as a manager.

Dodged a mega bullet not appointing Appleton. Like LJ if your clubs appointing these guys the guys making the appointment need a rocket.

Anyone who goes into management is better gaining a non-football vocational qualification or training in another profession as the failure/sack rate is crazy. Pretty sure Paul Hanlon recently completed a business degree at uni which was a shrewd move.

In saying that the likes of Brown and particularly Rooney, Lampard etc won't be short of cash to cushion any sackings. In fact they probably don't really need to work.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'd love to see Brown do really well and get the Celtic job, then see him try and take Whittaker there as his assistant.

[DinkyTwo]

My gut is telling me that Monty isn't far away from here.

It's sad because he's come with a good pedigree from the other side of the world, with a strong backroom team and seems to have had a positive impact on at least some of the players.

But let's face it, how many people go into a new job, with fixed ideas on how to do it, don't get results, refuse to change and stick around...

Not a sacking but Klopp announces he's leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.

Wow just seen this. As a United "fan" growing up, its been hard to watch as the landscape has changed over recent years and the job Klopp has done will ensure he goes down as one of the prem all time greatest managers

Wonder who will replace him. De Zerbi? Xabi Alonso?
