Goldie03 Posted August 27, 2023 Report Posted August 27, 2023 He's at fucking Killie - surely anyone would see Hibs as a step up!! 1 Quote

Didn’t leave us at his peak, got sacked, doing ok at killie after finishing 10th, no wow factor there. nothing special and a couple of decent results this year doesn’t really change things. Hibs is a step up. 1 Quote

Hibs is a step up. I wasn't being serious. However, he's got a job for the foreseeable with Killie, and I don't think he'll feel that Hibs is worth the hassle. Johnson must be nearly their longest serving manager this century. Edit: he's not even close, but there's only a few that have reached a hundred games (and those that do have usually had a helping hand with being in the championship when they got the job). They've had 16 managers this century. Edited August 28, 2023 by RicoS321 Quote
wokinginashearerwonderland Posted August 28, 2023 Report Posted August 28, 2023 It's a horrible, horrible industry. Used to think life at the top of the game was ridiculous in that the Real Madrids and Barcelonas of this world would fire a manager after half a dozen dodgy results, but Hibs? They have actually let the guy spend a decent sum of cash in the summer, he has just lost his best player and they fire him three games into the league season. Do chairman not realise that someone is always going to be at the bottom of the league, the provincial clubs can't all be in fourth place. I would love their chairman to have to explain to Johnson's kids how their Dad has just lost his job because his team lost three games of fitba. 1 Quote

You're right, that would make for great viewing. To be honest, that is likely to be us now. I'm not convinced Robson will get much time if we continue to struggle. Hibs will be expected to challenge for third place and the money that comes with it. As will Aberdeen and Hearts. Failure to finish in third will have consequences. That's what they've all bought in to. Wouldn't be surprised if Hibs promote from within like us and Hearts have. Quote
tlg1903 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Posted August 28, 2023 I wonder if they might try and get stubbs back, he would be free. Also chat about lennon who I believe is their longest serving manager this century. Quote
manc_don Posted September 4, 2023 Report Posted September 4, 2023 Sounds like they're getting Nick Montgomery from the Mariners. Really good up and coming manager, one I wouldn't have minded seeing with us in the future. Quote

Jute Posted September 11, 2023 Report Posted September 11, 2023 Nick Montgomery appointed at Hibs. Was linked with us in the past as Al said. Wonder if Hibs now raid the penal colony’s league for players going forward. Quote

Went to school in Inverness, and went to many Caley games as a kid when they were just Caley in the Highland League. Aberdeen born and bred though. Quote

I'd have thought that would be less reason to have a soft spot, given the merger debacle. Or was it just the Thistle fans that were against that? Quote

I wouldn't be surprised if he was on £1.2M per annum at Scotland's youngest club. So that'd make it potentially around £3.8M they paid him out today. Just gets sweeter and sweeter! Quote
