LarrysRightFoot Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It’s interesting that we will both be appointing managers at roughly the same time. Each manager’s record once they take one will be able to be measured almost exactly against the other’s. Adds another dimension - it will heap even more pressure on the first to hit a bad run of form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byyy The Light Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Heard he was meeting with them today. Interesting if he’s turned them down already. Kennedy is an interesting one. Well thought of at Celtic and has a job for life. Is that worth risking leaving to take over at Hibs? Depends on his ambitions but must be tempting to stay put, especially with them doing so well in europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) 13 minutes ago, ...a bit disco said: Not because it was Hibs? Maybe. I personally thought that Jack Ross would seem to be very much someone that the flairmeisters would see as a “Hibs style” manager. He likes all that tippy tappy nonsense. Therefore I thought that the Hibs board would push the boat out somewhat and offer him a good deal, especially when they know they could potentially have competition from across town. So if true he’s turned it down, it’s either because he really doesn’t want the Hibs job because it’s Hibs. Maybe playing hard to get even and they’ve offered him sweeties.🤷🏼♂️ Or, he really wants the Hearts job and doesn’t want to be seen playing both sides. Or, we’re genuinely interested and we’ve started to talk money. Probably wrong, but that’s my thinking.

That’ll be the same Sunderland who had a decent budget in the English Premiership. Relegated. The same Sunderland who probably had the biggest budget in the Championship with parachute payments, etc. Relegated. Ross took them to Wembley a few times and missed out in the play off being beaten by Charlton 2-1 in the final. Sunderland are a basket case of a club. Not improved since Ross left either.

jamie1874 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Don’t get the love in with Ross Won the championship with St Mirren, then moved while stock was high. Had the biggest budget in League one and failed to get promoted. Then started this season poorly. No top level experience in Scotland, failed at the big job he got. And all of the above doesn’t include the well rumoured reasons he left the club before and what makes it unlikely he would be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
