craigkillie Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Why do you think that?Because he's in the top 2 managers to have taken charge of non-Old Firm clubs in the last decade, and number 1 is currently Scotland manager and won't join Hibs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Alex Neil is clearly the stand out option. McInnes a boring but competent option. If it was the summer, or end of season, I could see a wildcard from the MLS or such. Too risky at this stage of the season though. As long as it's not the bald snake Kean. It'll be the bald snake Kean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I have a feeling Hibs will take the same approach as Aberdeen and Dundee Utd and hire a young "emerging talent". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, most chairmen see he's managed in The Barclays and that's enough for them. They don't actually care what he's actually achieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afc_blockhead Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yogi for sure Who would have thought Hibs would collapse so badly after being up near the top for about 3 weeks at the start of the season ?! Didnt see that coming ... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 3 minutes ago, Merkland Red said: He's a very good manager. It ended poorly at Pittodrie because it went stale and recruitment was lazy. Tried to replace like for like instead of trying something different. Often happens when a manager is there for that long. He obviously did a good job at you but feel he's too similar to Ross in respect of not changing things. Crowds were poor even at the start of the season when we were doing well which must be a concern for the club and unsure if it would be any different under McInnes. Not particularly keen on Neil either though tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of genuine interest who are you keen on if a guy with as strong a CV in superior leagues as possible for a club in Scotland to have a reasonable shout of signing; and a guy who while it ended poorly is the most successful Aberdeen manager since Ferguson (making them not a joke for the only time in my lifetime) aren't for you? Because I can't really think of a better pair of obvious candidates at any time we've been looking for a coach in ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it in our threads that McInnes became so pragmatic as he was in 'keep job mode'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His chairman didn't even get a chance to have an impassioned rant on Sportsound FFS. Anyway, this open position has Del written all over it. ??? The broadcasters and papers are reporting that was Ross was sacked. ETA - Paul Lambert is available.

I've always thought Ross had a decent record in transfer windows - I realise they've had a bad run of results, but this sacking could be a mistake, unless they bring in someone good, obviously - Alex Neil would probably be an improvement on Ross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be more about Ron Gordon getting his own guys in than anything to do with track records or sporting success. If Hibs appoint Alex Neil then fair enough, I suppose. If it's Steve Kean then it's alarm bells territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Foot Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'd love McInnes or Neil, but I don't think either is going to happen. If it's Kean, we're fucked. I mean, even more fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
