Maloney or Goodwin

[Broken_Glass]

We have appointed Goodwin, Maloney is in a job for now at least. 

Goodwin has a track record of improvement. Maloney has nothing, he's a Glass therefore a non starter for me. 

Looking forward to seeing what Goodwin does in his first transfer window, who he moves on, who he targets etc. Love his interviews, no blame on players, positive, honest, just refreshing to have someone competent again in the dugout.

He gets  a favourable press because he was the guy who made the coffee for the guy who made the tea when Belgium got together for training. 

Apparently that gave him mythical coaching abilities. 

To have that squad of players at Belgium and not even come close to achieving anything is shocking. Surprised Martinez is still there. The coaches can’t be up to much

Wasn't Maloney already in the hibs job when we got Goodwin?

Maloney was going to be the Scott Brown before Scott Brown DYOR

Fit?

Do you not remember AFC were chasing to sign Maloney as player / coach/ possible manager.

We were looking to sign him as a player, possibly coach. I don't remember anything about him being "manager" at the time

[paddy]

I always thought we wanted him as just a player - he all but signed but failed the medical.

Then Celtic offered him a coaching role.

My recollection was that he advised Aberdeen that he was fucked and was going to retire

Failed the medical based on lack of height issues apparently. 

[winchester83]

Maloney would have been offered a coaching role as part of the package and with Sevco courting Mcinnes and everyone thinking he was bound for Mason Park who might takeover with a D o F supporting him?

Scott Brown a shoe-in for the Hibs job

Another total unknown quantity.

A leader on the pitch but quiet off it apparently.

No fucking danger should he be managing any spl side until he’s learnt his trade a bit. Ditto Glass, Maloney, Cathro etc.

Seems really fucking obvious to me. It doesnt work. 

Gerrard being the obvious exception, got a few seasons and few quid, had Gary Mac as a coach, and the squad was in awe of him as soon as he walked in. Theres few ex-players out there that could do that. Certainly not Maloney, Scott Brown, Glass.

These guys should be starting out in the lower leagues and find their feet. 

Hibs shouldve stuck with Ross or got a better proven manager as replacement. You’d have thought they wouldve learned from our DM/Glass mistake. 

 

 

 

[King Street Loon]

Kevin Thompson will be linked with it no doubt, but I reckon Hibs will move for Mackay.

[JamieMT]

Malky would be an excellent appointment, so i hope they look elsewhere. I'd have been very happy had we moved for him.

[Torry Tosser]

After 4 months...Crazy some of these owners.

OK things haven't gone well,he's only leaning the game of management,they knew that though before they gave him the job.

Malky MacKay would be my bet too. 

Or a Kevin Thomson/Scott Brown manager/assistant. 
Two former Hibs captains might appeal to the Hibees fans?

If it's the 2 captains my suspicion is that it would be Brown manager and Thomson assistant. 

I honestly think Mackay would look upon it as the poisoned chalice it is. There's no guarantee he'd last a year. He'd be better off giving his current chairman a quick phone call and asking for a new contract/pay rise. McGregor can well afford to do so and might well be of a mind to do it to keep him out of Hibs' clutches

[Torry Tosser]

Glass 7/4 fav.

[Torry Tosser]

Mind you nothing surprises me now in fitba.

[Torry Tosser]

That would be funny in a sense.

Broon gets the job and brings his mate Glass in as assistant. 

[Ten Caat]

Anyone know what's happened to hobos.net?

Haven't looked in there for months, it doesn't seem to be in lockdown like they always used to fire it after a defeat.....but I cant seem to access their main forum. Registered users only now?

If TT is correct about Glass being favourite it should be a fucking hoot watching the meltdown

Aye both got Knutsen in..lol

All the same names as usual.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Tell you what, thank goodness Arbroath don’t have a wily old fox manager going into Fridays encounter against a manager who (himself) will expect to be linked..  He’d play havoc with any doubts Derek might have about Killie longer term!

Thank fuck Red John isn't here anymore...imagine the meltdown if Hibs got linked in any way with Knutsen in the papers? Would be seismic and rather funny. The job has McInnes written all over it. They'll realise they shouldn't have punted Ross and they'll go for him and that's why they've put Gray in charge until the summer.

Aye. McInnes or McKay would be my bet. 

Kevin Thomson as the wild card. Far better option than Brown at the moment.

Kevin Thomson would be an interesting shout for them but having only managed in League 2 and won it at a canter right enough i suspect they'll think it's too big a risk right now. Data Dave will be on the blower to Ron Gordon to give him some advice as we speak. ?
