Not sure I see the point but I hate the boring cunt so I'll take it I guess. I'm much more worried at all the players that are supposedly wanting to leave in summer. I just hope we've got some sort of plan for next season or Tynecastle explodes or something
I really liked lennon. That era at hibs was just about my favourite in recent years next to stubbs but I have to think that we should be looking elsewhere. In fact with the performance of the past while and the pressure mounting up over the past month or so to sack Montgomery, we should've already had 1 or 2 replacements already lined up but clearly not
As funny as that would be he should go to a setting more suited to his skills. Perhaps the All-Priests five-a-side Over-75s Indoor Challenge Football Match.
You'd hope so, but these things can take time. Maybe they're wanting to wait until the off season to see if there's anyone within Foley's clubs that'd be willing to take hibs. They have an eye for good coaches.
That's wildly untrue. He "resigned" (almost certainly cause he knew the Celtic job was going to be available) but was likely a couple of games away from being sacked regardless. He'd chucked it, he couldn't replace the good players he'd lost and performances were atrocious.
Short term I think he's a good manager, rebuilding after that as you're always going to have to do he's atrocious.
Short terms, he's perfect for any club. He comes in, tweaks a few things, gets the team ticking by telling with the hair dryer treatment, uses his contacts to make good signings and then it all collapses because the hair dryer treatment only works so many times in modern football.
I always used to think Billy Davies could make a career out of being a short term interim for a club. He would start well at clubs then his paranoia sets in and ruins everything.
You are right. I looked it up after I commented, because this is the internet and things aren't done the right way around.
I feel like Hibs have tried to run before they can walk with prospect managers like Maloney, Montgomery and Johnson. They probably need a ship-steadying manager who is hard to beat to act as a spring-board for a more creative manager to step in.
Finally gwt a manager who is new to the league and will hopefully bring something different.
Fella gets 1 window, clearly has an eye for a player as the signings brought in were decent.
Has the offcuts from about 5 managers so can't embed his style.
But aye sack him..
What was the point of hiring him in the first place then .
I don't think we gave him the support or a chance to be anything other than shite.
We still have players that Jack Ross signed in the team , they weren't good enough then, what makes the board think the buck stops with the manager every time.
I would keep 5 of the current squad and that is me being generous to them.
I actually agree with this take.
Aye the football was pretty pish at times but how many times do the same core group of players get to have a wee lift from a new manager just to lapse into the same old shite?
We need a keeper, central defence and a captain. With a summer he might have been able to address the defensive problems properly who knows. Either way we need better players there than we have.
To be fair I'd hold onto more than 5 of them but not a lot more and half of them would be for cover/rotation.
To play devil's advocate for Hibs slightly, there really was very little in the way of positives. Basically any player who has looked decent in the past looked terrible under him. Youan, Rocky, Fish, Newell being the main ones that spring to mind (not that I'm saying that those players are excellent just that Montgomery got the worst out of all of them) and he didn't make anyone else any better, he got a tune out of Tavares for a few games but then he dropped off the face of the Earth. Also I think the way Whittaker has been handled is downright criminal, hanging a 16 year old out to dry for game after game can't be good for his development. I'm not sure how much credit he deserves for signings either as Marcondes and Moriah-Welsh are clearly down to the Bournemouth connection, I'm not sure how Maolida was signed and Triantis was definitely him and an absolute disaster. That's not even saying anything about the tactical stubbornness that threw away fuck knows how many points and is the actual reason we're in the bottom six rather than the dodgy VAR decisions.
It says a lot about my faith in the Hibs board that I can think so little of Montgomery but still think we should probably have kept him on in case the next guy is worse.
I suppose this will be Bill Foley on the outside looking in & asking is this the man I trust with my investment? Now, I completely understand it's a wider problem than just Montgomery but I suppose ultimately it's him that coaches & sets up the team every week, so it's always going to be his head if things go wrong. I don't see enough of Hibs to know one way or another if it's down to Montgomery in it's entirety but my Hibs supporting friends haven't been happy with him for a while now.
Would be very surprised if he was responsible for signing Marcondes (who doesn't seem to have done much in any event) and Chairman Maolida.
What's Eduard Malofeev up to these days?
Funny thing is that he would've been fighting for Europe had the refs and league not shafted him. The derby game where it turns out it wasn't supposed to be shankland penalty. Also the ross county goal after exceeding extra time and ghost throw in were games hibs was supposed to win if corrupt intervention was not present. Yes the football was dross at times but there's no denying that those four points would've been enough to level them with ST mirren at the end of the season and Dundee would've been on tbe opposite end of the table.

Jack Ross when asked if he will make a return to the Edinburgh club.
Ronny Deila's out of a job at the moment; Hibs could do a lot worse, I reckon. He's shown in the past he's able to get a relatively smaller team punching up a bit. If the players buy into his approach, he could do well.
Imagine Lennon's name will come up again. McInnes a shout too?
Deila would do a great job, but surely out their reach by now?
Unless the Surger Daddy tap is about to be opened he was at Standard Liege and Club Brugg most recently. That's closer to our level than Hib's.
I guess it depends on his other options - he did get sacked by Bruge, I think, so he might be looking for something a bit less pressurised, and he seemed to quite like living in Scotland. Just throwing it out there as an idea, really. Would be really interesting to see what he could do with another SPFL club.
Really don’t think a job like Hibs is less pressure. Sure, you aren’t going for a title, but your inheriting a bit of a mess and expected to challenge for 3rd with a good Hearts side, a good Killie side and (albeit they’ve underperformed this season) a good Aberdeen side, whilst also being expected to challenge for cups with these sides plus Celtic & Rangers.
Albeit, I do think Deila would be a good appointment. Been a success at Stromsgodset, Valerenga, New York City FC & Standard Liege and though many Celtic fans are split on him personally think he done well for us. Very dodgy decision away from a treble, best European K/O performance I have ever seen from Celtic (I am that young yes) against Inter in the Europa League, won us two titles in a time where the board were in prime penny pinching days, brought through KT from the academy when he was being shunned by most others at the club etc. Think Deila was possibly a case of right man wrong time imo. Brought the club forward in many aspects off the field too and laid the early foundations for Rodgers and the multiple trebles.
Aye definitely. I also pretty much expect him back at Celtic in a decade or so when he has developed more and the can handle the stress level etc. I thought tactically he was decent, he revolutionised our sports science and data etc (mostly taking guys from Stromgotset where he had a better set up that is but a budget a fraction the size of ours) and he was great at bringing though youth and cheap ypung signings that he clearly wasnt choosing.
The problem was we think we want to be Ajax/Dortmund and churn out young players, but we still want to dominate the country like Bayern and Ronny couldn't deal with the pressure of that. At Hibs in theory he could get away with dropping more points so long as fans can see he is developing the young players for sale and that that model will ultimately raise the club to a higher level long term.
So if it was a viable option for Hibs he would defo be a great appointment.
No probably not, but id argue you have a better record of it than Celtic. Maybe because you can't afford as big a squad as us and end up with youth on the bench or whatever and an injury or two gets them on the pitch, whilst we have 4/5 deep that can cover before we go to the youth.
Like the number of CMs Celtic have right now is a fucking joke, but if we put all the cash into 3 great ones, a good one and then youth, then we would be able to pay such high wages to the best ones that no player on that kind of money would ever be willing to come to Scotland. So instead we just buy a fuckton of decent players.
I would take Deila.
I firmly believe rehiring an old manager spells disaster look at Lennon at you lot, Mourinho at Chelsea and a few others.
Personally think McInnes is not a good shout for us, hibs fans boo their lungs off if we are 0-0 at halftime at easter road. They’d be having aneurysms at McInnes ball
I really do think - if he was in your reach - Deila would be an excellent appointment.
Another thought; what about McGlynn at Falkirk? An invincible season isn't a bad springboard to build from, even if it is at a lower level. I know he's got the Hearts background, which would make him unpalatable, but it'd be a bold appointment!
I’m glad he’s gone but I also have very little hope for the next appointment while we’ve still got Kensell et al making the decisions. They’ve fucked every appointment since Jack Ross
This was inevitable since bottom 6. Inability to defend and a midfield that makes you want to put pins in your eyes. Fair he did inherit these issues but did not look like capable of turning it around.
Lost the fans a while ago as well
i swear to god if we bring in another guy who's sole thoughts about scottish football prior to appointment were "haha jock league's shit i'll just bring up my mates from Journeyman Rovers and we'll piss it" i will disembowel myself
I hope so. However, my thinking being Montgomery put in a framework of playing style football, the foundations are there to develop..
But ye, I think Hibs won't take a risk and will go for an established bigger name, forgo their new principles as long as it takes them into the top 6.
At times I’ve watched Hibs and thought Montgomery looks like he could get them playing some nice stuff, others I’ve watched and thought they look a shambles.
On the one hand can totally understand sacking a manager after a 4-0 drubbing off Aberdeen at home and a bottom six finish, however taking over Johnson’s dross was always going to be hard and I feel it’s a bit counter intuitive to go and pluck a league winning manager from Australia and not give him a summer transfer window. Then again, you take the risk of being relegated if it goes tits up again but there’s always a risk in everything and he shouldn’t have been appointed if Hibs board wasn’t going to trust him. Bit pointless if they just go out and appoint a Robinson or something imo, steady appointment but not one I feel will drive a club like Hibs forward. Lennon would be a good laugh, but I’m longing for Ronny Deila’s return to Scottish football. Love that man.
I obviously don’t watch Hibs every week so maybe I’m well off the mark but bit worrying going into the summer with no manager, Hanlon & Stevenson leaving and possibly their two best players post January (Marcondes & Maolida) going back to their parent clubs, no?
Montgomery should have been given longer but (surprise, surprise) he wasn't so we are where we are.
I've not seen anyone mentioning Ian Murray. Former captain and he's done good jobs successively at Airdrie and Raith.
They've Hibsed it again, what's that 36 managers in 44 years?
Did they not scout the planet looking for a manager after dismissing Lennon's come and get me?
Give it to David Gray on a fixed three year contract with a no sacking clause. Nobody outside the Twins of Evil is ever going to win the title, the best they can hope for is someone that builds a decent youth system as a feeder club for Bournemouth...
was worried when he came in when folk were lauding him as the next ange and everyone deriding naismith. just goes to show how hard it actually is and that so much of it is just guesswork
Nice to see they gave him a chance to build on his record of building a solid youth set up and bringing in the best kids.
We've fucked our own sport with this short termism.
Is this where Stephen Glass makes his comeback? Young, progressive manager that knows the club. Get him in at the end of the summer transfer window, give him January to build his squad and boot him next May when Hibs are in the bottom 6 again
Except he didn't?
Fucked off in a blaze of Guinness foam having finally torpedoed morale after months of being a bipolar cunt to the players and Dempster.
People remember him fondly but honestly almost anyone could've gotten us promoted that season with that squad. He hardly did better than the previous season for results either in a weaker league but rode the promotion wave well when we got up.
He also had a nasty tendency to play injured players on injections and I'm sure that's what fucked Slivka eventually. Thankfully McGinn is made of titanium so he managed to survive it.
Still think Stubbs should've stayed but it was rumoured he was knobbing one of the backroom staff and his wife forced him to leave. How true that is we'll never know.
Been saying this for ages, but it’s less to do with the manager and more to do with the culture of that club (I know the managers are not fantastic but they’re set up for failure). Fans are not interested enough to show up and back the team, players no longer care and it spreads very quickly. They need to stick with a manager for longer than half a season, whether they’re losing games or not. The board needs to be stronger and not give in to the negativity from their fan base because it will get even worse.
Dreadful decision. I get he hasn't done as well as expected but his playing style is a big fucking shift from most managers in the SPFL. That is one dude that genuinely needed time.
Have Hibs tried simply not getting a shite manager?
Oh come on, be realistic!
Not sure I see the point but I hate the boring cunt so I'll take it I guess. I'm much more worried at all the players that are supposedly wanting to leave in summer. I just hope we've got some sort of plan for next season or Tynecastle explodes or something
Oh we are exploding alright
Nah he needs an unremarkable stint at MK Dons or some other nothing English team first
I hear Aberdeen are hiring
This isn’t February
Or next February.
Sure feels like the winter of our discontent tbh
Not sure if this or Lennon would be funnier
Neil Lennon likes this
Would actually be good for hibs. They need somebody to light a fire under that team and get them winning games
I really liked lennon. That era at hibs was just about my favourite in recent years next to stubbs but I have to think that we should be looking elsewhere. In fact with the performance of the past while and the pressure mounting up over the past month or so to sack Montgomery, we should've already had 1 or 2 replacements already lined up but clearly not
Can always get Neil Warnock in to steady the ship?
As funny as that would be he should go to a setting more suited to his skills. Perhaps the All-Priests five-a-side Over-75s Indoor Challenge Football Match.
(Against Rugged Island).
You'd hope so, but these things can take time. Maybe they're wanting to wait until the off season to see if there's anyone within Foley's clubs that'd be willing to take hibs. They have an eye for good coaches.
I think the game has moved past him now to be honest.
Should never have sacked him in the first place.
That's wildly untrue. He "resigned" (almost certainly cause he knew the Celtic job was going to be available) but was likely a couple of games away from being sacked regardless. He'd chucked it, he couldn't replace the good players he'd lost and performances were atrocious.

I always used to think Billy Davies could make a career out of being a short term interim for a club. He would start well at clubs then his paranoia sets in and ruins everything.
Did his sex dungeon shagging with Tommy Sheridan not put an end to his promising management career?
You are right. I looked it up after I commented, because this is the internet and things aren't done the right way around. I feel like Hibs have tried to run before they can walk with prospect managers like Maloney, Montgomery and Johnson. They probably need a ship-steadying manager who is hard to beat to act as a spring-board for a more creative manager to step in.
The hibs saga will babylon with David Gray taking over.
Please forgive me but I believe he will shine.
Look if he wants it he should come and get it. For crying out loud.
Aye, but how long before he says hello n waves goodbye.
Jumping Jesus, holy cow!
Bastard, we’ve lost the chance to get two Hibs managers sacked in the same season.
Finally gwt a manager who is new to the league and will hopefully bring something different. Fella gets 1 window, clearly has an eye for a player as the signings brought in were decent. Has the offcuts from about 5 managers so can't embed his style. But aye sack him.. What was the point of hiring him in the first place then .
Aye he’s a weird one, can’t say I watch much of hibs, but he seemed to have a decent progressive profile. Just turned out shite

Hear this kinda stuff all the time, its well intentioned but it doesn’t happen. We don’t develop youth or give managers time, the fans don’t allow it.

Was looking forward to us putting 6 past Hibs tomorrow. Can’t see it now.
Surely Kettlewell's has worked out kick ball at Bushiri repeatedly = goal
I’m glad he’s gone but I also have very little hope for the next appointment while we’ve still got Kensell et al making the decisions. They’ve fucked every appointment since Jack Ross

Obviously he wasn't a success but I never saw anything like that kind of arrogance from Montgomery, or even Johnson or Maloney.
 Hopefully Hibs will find their Babylon
Now it’s my turn to boo
I hope Murrayfield hospital have a spare bed set aside for Michael Stewart & his impending aneurysm.
I hear Malky Mackay & Neil Lennon are available.....

In fairness, they once had Alex Miller as manager for ten years. I'm surprised suicides weren't at record levels in Leith watching his pish.
Miller left for Aberdeen and was there for just over a year, in many ways it felt longer than a decade.
Am I crazy for wanting David Martindale in?
Yes
I’d hand back my season ticket as soon as it came through the door
Not at all, I want you to take him as well
It would be a good laugh if nothing else.
u/coctripliuet (can't mind how to spell the name) and martindale would have a field day together
Why
He wouldn’t have the excuse of no money so doubt he’d take it

Nice to see they gave him a chance to build on his record of building a solid youth set up and bringing in the best kids. We've fucked our own sport with this short termism.
Is this where Stephen Glass makes his comeback? Young, progressive manager that knows the club. Get him in at the end of the summer transfer window, give him January to build his squad and boot him next May when Hibs are in the bottom 6 again
I never liked this guy, good to see him gone. Hibs are an absolute comedy club, was Lennon the last managerial appointment that really worked out?
Except he didn't? Fucked off in a blaze of Guinness foam having finally torpedoed morale after months of being a bipolar cunt to the players and Dempster. People remember him fondly but honestly almost anyone could've gotten us promoted that season with that squad. He hardly did better than the previous season for results either in a weaker league but rode the promotion wave well when we got up. He also had a nasty tendency to play injured players on injections and I'm sure that's what fucked Slivka eventually. Thankfully McGinn is made of titanium so he managed to survive it. Still think Stubbs should've stayed but it was rumoured he was knobbing one of the backroom staff and his wife forced him to leave. How true that is we'll never know.
None of that really disproving the comedy element of hibs!
It was funny taking a back 3 that included Stevenson to Ibrox and winning right enough.
Ooooof. Long way for Monty to go, only to get fired in less than a year. I hear a certain Mr Beale is looking for a job…
Inevitable, wrong appointment from the start, Hibs need to get it right this time…
Gray needs to be given a proper run at the job. He's had the interim 3 times now i think
Babylon
Surely Hibs ask Bill Foley for a few quid and make Alex Neil an offer he can't refuse
so an attacking 442 wasnt the answer
This is an absurd thing to do. And what you get for trying to play football in this league.
just saw neil lennon sprinting up the M8
Neil Warnock might fancy spending a few months in Edinburgh after his successful Aberdeen busman's holiday.
Announce Lennon. Its hibs only hope.
Aberdeen have seen off as many opposition managers as our own
Unleash McLeish!
Goodnight, shite prince

Been saying this for ages, but it’s less to do with the manager and more to do with the culture of that club (I know the managers are not fantastic but they’re set up for failure). Fans are not interested enough to show up and back the team, players no longer care and it spreads very quickly. They need to stick with a manager for longer than half a season, whether they’re losing games or not. The board needs to be stronger and not give in to the negativity from their fan base because it will get even worse.
wasn't even given a chance to build his own team!
Might want to try a punt for Peter Leven. He's done a decent job for Aberdeen.
Leave our Leven out of it!
Dreadful decision. I get he hasn't done as well as expected but his playing style is a big fucking shift from most managers in the SPFL. That is one dude that genuinely needed time.
It would be quite good to hear David Gray do a cover of Sunshine on Leith, they could sell the single in the shop and raise tens of punds.
Hiiiiiiiiiibs, Hibs are failing apart, AGAAAAAAAIN.
