2426255 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Hopefully Malky will help get Mr Derek Adams in the door at Hibs. That's my hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 8 hours ago, Tony Wonder said: Genuinely bizarre appointment. After the disaster of Montgomery, to go and make an appointment that would be as divisive as that on the same day as NM's sacking just smacks of people running the club that can't read the room. Outside of him being an abhorrent human being, he's not done anything to deserve the job of running the football side of a club the size of Hibs. Certainly not done anything that makes him a standout and worth the blowback the appointment would cause. Aye. Imagine chucking your morals in the bin, and respect others have for you, just to white knight Malky Mackay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is there to be "discussed"? He said what he said, then apologised and said there's no excuse for it. What more do you want him to say? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's too controversial and too problematic. However that aside, he apparently did do some very good work at the SFA doing a technical role which is probably what go him in the door at Hibs. But as I say I would not have appointed him. Edited May 15 by AndyM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He refuses to accept he was wrong. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 hour ago, virginton said: He's already managed three different clubs 'the size of Hibs' before so that at least is a really unconvincing argument tbh. Not to mention the parade of absolute jobbers you hand the manager's job to on a monthly basis right now. I'm a Hearts fan. But my point is yes he's had big roles, but since the controversy he's not done anything in Scotland to deserve a jump from the sack at Ross County to running Hibs football department. If he was something special I'd understand the gamble more. As it stands he's not and it's a needlessly divisive appointment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I’ve always felt a little uncomfortable with the idea of being judge, jury and executioner if someone over some private texts from 10 years past. The guy may well be a c**t but I couldn’t and wouldn’t pretend to know. Saying that, it seems really daft/naive from the hibs board. They must have seen the backlash coming so they’ve obviously judged he’s bringing something to the table that is worth it, I’d be interested to know what that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they are being helped that some of the criticism is coming from some utter Bell ends on Social Media and stupid wee laddies (Block 7) who need to be educated on the meaning of the word hypocrite . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 For all the talk about fans boycotting County when MacKay was appointed I don't think their crowds went down. Will Hibs fans stay away if results improve? I doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zing. Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The only reason he got the job is because he’s best pals with Malcolm McPherson is it not? I’m very surprised it’s not been a pick straight from Bill Foley. Seen this sort of outrage a few times too which just makes absolutely no sense given the players he signed at County. A lot of these folk will be at games if we do well, there’s absolutely no doubt about it. Duncan McKay from the terrace is probably the only one I’ve seen say he chucked it with Scotland when Malky went there and he’ll be doing the same with Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
