Aye, but not sacking him after the previous awful results then giving him the semi is what I don't understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Can't help but think if Hibs (Hibernian) had won more matches, Heckingbottom would still be manager. Edited November 4, 2019 by Szamo's_Ammo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been on a run of 10 league games without a win. It's far from ideal, but results have a fairly high variance in fitba. If you were to pick a mid-table team and you picked just 7 consecutive games from their history entirely at random, there'd be roughly a 10% probability that not winning one game in that seven was purely down to chance, rather than the team being worse than expected. How trigger happy should a team owner be, exactly? And as I say, the manager was likely in town for the semi, so that would be the time to get the sacking done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebowski Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Dunno, feel like they weren't desperate to get rid of him. If he'd pulled a rabbit out of his arse and we'd won Saturday then they might have thought it would be a turning point. You could just about see the fans changing their tune if he'd went on to win a cup next month. We played exactly as expected instead. Conceded 11 in two visits to Glasgow this season, the place where you have to be able to get results to win anything... Aye, but not sacking him after the previous awful results then giving him the semi is what I don't understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Kettlewell is the latest rumour I'm hearing. It was never going to work out for Heckingbottom if he insisted on utter jobbers from England. Another loser coming up here and totally misjudging the quality of Scottish football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Sad to see him go tbh. He's been a great servant over the years. I hope he goes away and gets his badges before maybe returning in a coaching role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Any manager (and bunch of fans) who thinks that 'Scott Allan' is the answer, has obviously misunderstood the question. Looking forward to see who the next occupant of the Easter Road banter seat is going to be. He'll get a cute wee nickname.....'Hecky', 'Stubbsy', 'Sauzee'ey', 'popcorn teeth'.....for 6 months, before his hopeless record turns him into a useless khunt. It's gonna be emotional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
