Gorillajam Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I honestly believe he could have done a job for us. That is a good appointment by Hibs. I personally think he'll have them challenging for third this season. We'll see. Looking forward to seeing who we hire as our new manager.

CJGJ Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It may well be his make or break job Early success followed by failure (even allowing for circumstances) and the next job becomes very important It will also be a pressure appointment for the new owner and chief exec from the village On the plus side you start from a low point so any improvement can be deemed a success early on and in Scottish terms Hibs are one of the bigger sides Like most I just don't know and that was my issue with him becoming our manager.....the fact that I was just not sure he would be a success made me just wonder but he'll have his chance with them it appears but I can't in all honesty wish him the best of luck though if he is runner up to us every time I could live with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have to pull something big out of the hat. 40 minutes ago, King Kebab said: Aye, but he's been a manager for about 2 days. It really pissed me off seeing what he done at St Mirren and then getting a move to Sunderland to be honest. While we were stuck with the likes of Daly Fox, Macphee and the the likes. 38 minutes ago, King Kebab said: That douige guy scored a hatrick last week after we all thought he was mince n tatties. Just saying. Maybe it was just the manager? A bit like us having a very good squad and having levein as manager? 33 minutes ago, King Kebab said: Staying on the honesty theme, I thought they had wasted money on a huddy. He might still be, but the manager leaves and he scores a hatrick... I don't watch much of hibs but i wouldn't be writing him off just yet. Your own club have just appointed a new manager and your first stop is to try and troll our forum? Away to **** ya Hibs *****. Ross will do ok, nothing special but ok. 5th/6th place consistently. Your squad is still murder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Connor Washington signing showed him up somewhat. He wasn't signing for us and was talking to clubs in England according to Anderson. We announced his signing the next day or soon there after. It's just guess work with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamdub Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Jack Ross was never even getting an interview. That should put things into perspective, hopefully he has negotiated a reasonable severance contract at 'Team Gardener's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a lot of their highlights and live games last season and their football seemed as slow and ponderous as we have been fed up with since Dec.15. Sunderland were not the basketcase some claim either so hopefully Ross will just be another Heckingbottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Time will tell. Bear in mind this is Ron Gordon's first manager. Some owners are more patient than others. So we will see.

martoon Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Hibs have never made an appointment that's gave me the fear and that's still the case. At best, Ross is a safe, if unambitious, choice that will maintain Hibs' 40+year pursuit of mediocrity. At worst, they'll end up as they usually do when they fall short of average: relegation, fighting relegation and pumped senseless by Heart of Midlothian. Would have been a bit deflated if we'd gone for him. FTHibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadows Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The Sunderland fans were in despair at him due to the number of draws . Think it was 19/20 . Reckon he panicked if they went a goal up ! Including the play off at Wembley when they were gifted a goal start in the first five minutes and still lost. Mcphee & Daly have more Premier league experience as caretaker managers than Jack Dross . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
