If Jack Ross is such a good manager, why has he not gone onto greater things? I think Jack Ross is doing pretty well for himself now, and he's been working at Newcastle United for two years. He'd taken the club to a comfortable third-place finish and reached two finals and two semi-finals, one of which we should have won. Results took a dip the following season, and Ron Gordon didn't get behind his manager. Instead, he listened to the bigmouths and young team dafties after a miserable match at Livingston. At that point, Ross had already qualified us for that season's League Cup Final. Ron realized shortly afterward what a mistake he'd made and we have been paying the price ever since with a load of managers who never last more than a season and the club just drifting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leewood Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Dwight Gayle is a good signing for Hibs. I always liked him. He Should bag a few goals up here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 If he's on decent money, which you think he'd be after, it's a bit of a gamble. 35 next month, barely played this year, had a hamstring injury and couldn't get a deal after being on trial at Stockport. He was clearly quality a few years ago, but he has 7 goals in 4 years. Could be an expensive flop, hope not. Hope not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoose Rice Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Our club is a f**king shambles. Long term planning. Shite loan goalie, loan centre forward, some c**t not wanted by Stockport. Blackpool and Mk Dpns Centre half huddies, no Centre midfielder who can play forward towards forwards. praying loans from Sunderland and celtic will run our midfield. Aye nice one Malky you racist arrogant c**t. Planning for the long term, where? Bowie that's all. Bottom 6 pish again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying but by the time Nisbet became available we'd already signed Kucharevich & Bowie who have been signed as starting strikers. We'd stated pretty publicly that we were in the market for a more experienced striker who could come in for those two when needed. Nisbet was never going to be that player. It was never a case of Gayle or Nisbet. Would have to imagine Aberdeen are covering a lot of his wages too. Don't buy the baggage stuff. I think there might've been an incident once where he and Dylan Tait were fighting on a team day out but outside of that I can't recall much in the way of baggage. Maybe not the most likeable character in the world but pretty far down the list of least likeable characters we've had up front in the last couple of decades.. He might've always made noises about testing himself at a higher level etc but always tried when he played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough but I think it'll look bad if we have a good season with him banging in goals, especially if Hibs struggle with the forwards not contributing much. Maybe Bowie is going to be out for man extended time like Polvara for us, Gayle a stop gap. From the interviews since he's joined us, he absolutely comes across pretty arrogant. Can see how that would annoy folk. Certainly has a lot of belief in his own ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser Fyvie Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) We don't need Nisbet. We'd just signed Kuharevych and Bowie who will likely be competing for one starting spot. At least Gayle probably realises he's going to be a squad player at his age. Aberdeen made much more sense for him having just lost Miovski.

He was one of the laziest strikers we have had. He did score goals but he only seems to really show form when he is either at the start of his time with a club or he's trying to impress another club. If you're expecting a striker that's going to chase down defenders and harry them it won't be him and he absolutely cannot play as a sole striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
