Match Thread Hibernian 1 - 0 Aberdeen

[ericblack4boss]

Maloney was my choice for our job, him assisted by an experienced assistant.

[Wester Hailes Skins]

Maloney and Caldwell. Ha ha ha. 

Just two random ex player names out the inevitable Hibs / Celtic tombola for this joke club. 

[aberdeen1970]

Maloney is an interesting choice given his coaching experience at a high level 

[Eastcoastdon]

Looking like a sell out for us going by availability online, anybody know how much we got?

Maloney with 47 Scottish caps and having been assistant manager of Belgium for 3 years.

Caldwell with 55 caps, having won every domestic trophy in Scotland and also an FA Cup winners medal

Robbie Neilson...1 Scotland cap and one Scottish Cup medal in the cheating years. 

 

I know who I'd rather have as manager. And it isn't the guy that uses spunk as a brylcreem substitute

Personally , I’m quite happy that one of our main rivals have gambled on appointing someone with no experience of managing a squad of journeymen and an assistant who has so far failed spectacularly in management.  

They might turn out to be successful with Hibs but I wouldn’t be surprised if Maloney turns out to be another John Collins for them.

Im no fan of Robbie Neilson but he’s got a decent track record in management compared to the Maloney/ Caldwell dream team.

Get them a trophy in the cabinet?

[Andy_123]

Belgium to Hibs is a pretty drastic drop off in quality for Maloney.

I’m sure he’ll arrive with grand ideas of implementing Belgiums training, tactics etc on the Hibs team but I doubt the players will be good enough to make me it work.

We can’t say anything though. He arrives at a Hibs with a far better pedigree than Glass had/has.

Possibly.  There’s plenty managers who have generally been regarded as having failed at a particular club , despite having managed to win a trophy with them..... Collins at Hibs being a prime example.

I think when they were languishing in the championship they would've quite liked the idea of the Collins team and the good players that were in it. 

[afc1903mad]

Let’s make sure they don’t get a new manager bounce and we open up a wee gap on them.

No idea but looks like they've opened another section now anyway. Don't think Hibs sold any home tickets for the other side of our stand, like they sometimes do, so persumably we could have had the rest of the stand had demand been there.

It will be interesting to see about Maloney,  if he's a roaring success then the knowledge we spoke to him but went elsewhere Will be a kick in the nuts

Glass will get the better of Maloney. He beat him to our gaffer’s job because he was the better candidate. Maloney should be thankful to Dave Cormack for getting the Hibs job because it was Cormack who told Ron Gordon to appoint Maloney….that is true.

[fine-n-dandy]

Wonder if Maloney was indeed one of the made up ’4 man shortlist’ from which Glass was the stand out ‘right man for the job’

I was really surprised when he said he had been reading the Hibs fan forums for tactical advice …..

Did you get any money for your teeth? If so, you should have invested in a one sided bra….because you are a right tit.

[Betty Swallicks]

3.5 year deal sounds crazy.

Hope he fails pronto and they've to pay him off.

Their appointments in the last decade of supposedly experienced managers in Fenlon, Butcher, Lennon, Heckingarse and Ross have pretty much all been disastrous (Lennon maybe pass marks but no more but ended badly for everyone). The only one in that period who was indubitably successful was Alan Stubbs. Who was a rookie manager

On that basis is Maloney really that much of a gamble? He'd have to be totally incompetent to get them relegated and I doubt he'd have lasted 3 years as Belgium assistant if he was that. He's also been learning in that time from one of the world's best managers. And I suspect he will now have enough contacts at the likes of Bruges, Genk and Anderlecht to get in some really good youngsters on loan as opposed to the shite that we seem to bring in from England most years

Will he get in youth Belgium players though?

His press conference was all about using their own youth

I’d say it’s highly debatable that Stubbs was successful. Their Scottish Cup win papered over a multitude of cracks. Under Stubbs , Hibs failed two seasons running to get promotion from the Championship. They didn’t even reach the final of the playoffs. And they lost a cup final to Ross County.

He said in his interview he wants top 4, then aim for 3rd then aim for Europe. Nothing about 2nd...he would have been hounded out the door for saying that here.
