Zing. Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If Ron Gordon is paying Mueller anything over £3k a week he’s fucking mental. The guy looks absolutely rotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talks a good game and tbf he has backed it up with money for buying players and longer term contracts. Not convinced the decisions are always sound though, particularly giving some players longer contracts. He seems to have a view or vision for Hibs. The key point is who does he have around him that understands football and Scottish football in particular. Not convinced Kensall or Kean are right folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon all clubs should base such a calculation on the length of time Manchester United's board took to realise Fergie was worth keeping after a pretty mediocre start at Old Trafford. I'm not saying that Maloney (or Ross) is the new messiah, just that clubs rarely wait long enough to allow managers to show their capabilities because instant success is demanded of them. How many potential Fergies have been binned without having a chance to instil their way of playing, often without the opportunity to bring in players to suit their system? Also, if the board keeps making error after error in their choice of manager, how come they don't pay the penalty for it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Fergie also came with multiple league titles, cups and had dispatched Real Madrid in a European final. Im not sure you should be giving every unknown Diddy 3/4 years time to get right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had transformed Aberdeen into the best club in scotland winning European trophies. Maloney put out cones for the failed Everton manager who can't even get the best group of international players near a trophy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squonk Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 OK, so Fergie's maybe not the best example in view of his previous success, but he lost the first two games then only won one away game in the entire season. It is well documented that Man United's hierarchy was concerned about his early days at the club, but, fortunately for him and them, the board stuck with him and he was able to implement changes for the long term good of the club. Regardless, my point stands that managers are given insufficient time to implement their plans. More often than not, boards simply replace one manager who is perceived to have failed with another familiar face from the carousel of managerial failures. Innovative clubs who take a chance on managers such as Glass, Maloney and Cathro should be applauded for their bravery, but there's little point in such appointments if the clubs are not going to afford their manager sufficient time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Sannox Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Where Hibs have missed a trick is by not listening to the “lads” on Radio Shortbread. Imagine an American gazillionaire not listening to advice from Pat Bonnar, Billy Dodds, Derek Ferguson and all the other wastrels that frequent that godforsaken channel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Och it's all a bit exciting isn't it? I usually find my Hibs news by typing 'Hibs' into Google and scrawling through pages of nonsense about prospective signings dreamt up by minimum wage EEN journalists, or stories about Tam McManus' girlfriend's niece's pet canary. But now there's a bit of.... pizazz about the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how many people have "good sources" who make up complete drivel? Dont worry yourself about Ron G, he wont be anywhere near your club - he was only interested in buying a club where he could increase the revenues. I don’t have any dog in the fight here, but I also heard that it was 9k per week for “some” of Maloneys signings. I’ve no reason to disbelieve it based on who told me, however every reason to disbelieve it due to the fact it’s absolutely wild if true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems reasonable to assume that he’d be require a better deal but the idea that hibs had to quadruple his wages seems implausible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
