Not your job to pick the new manager. But it is your job to sack the existing one? Not sure how that works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to your first paragraph that's the point I've been making. It's fine being asked who I'd take and myself giving an answer...but who's to know if there's any chance of it at all? It just seems fairly reasonable. I've seen a few folk suggesting Darren Fletcher. That could be great, could be dreadful. Certainly the sort of appointment I could see Cormack making when the time does come, to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the options being mentioned by both clubs as part of a deal for Wright. It would be more bizarre if we didn’t talk about it at all. It seems quite clear cut to me that either getting a 6 figure fee, or a 6 figure fee of the McCrorie fee due this Summer, or just keeping Wright until May, are all preferable to taking one of Jones/Stewart/Middleton, tbh. You'd get a better fit for replacing Wright outwith Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inexperienced top level player is probably not what we need but may be the market we're in. Like Gerrard he'd probably need a switched on backroom team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think he's a first-team coach there now; had been coaching the youths previous to that, I think. I'm not necessarily advocating for him, but seems more like the sort of appointment Cormack might make than Milne would have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be so but given it’s an option that’s been mentioned by both managers it’s clearly being looked at so I’m not sure why it’s bizarre for us to discuss it. Pretending it’s not a possibility being looked at would be more odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be what it's like to have no rivals, a life in purgatory spent trying to manufacture derbies out of thin air. It's the old two bald blokes fighting for a comb type rivalry between Hearts and Hibs though. I've always felt it's held both clubs back a bit, especially Hibs. You've only qualified something like nine times for Europe since 1978! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I don’t think the Club will pull the trigger May be an amicable parting of ways in the summer but it’s just as likely he’s here until summer 2022 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Does anyone have any numbers to hand about the number of times we've had a starting lineup containing both Main and Cosgrove? I just had a feeling that the win percentage when that happens would be quite low but I've not had the time to work though the data. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we beat Hibs, their forums are full of losing to “mediocre Aberdeen”.Sometimes they were right, but I didn’t realise that constituted manufacturing derbies.Aberdeen isn’t a big enough city for a derby (f**k Cove) and we are comfortable with that - most of the past 50 years has us generally stronger than the Edinburgh and Dundee clubs. Think it’s eight seasons since we finished below any of them. Last thing we need is a divided city - enough other things divide our support right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a feeling that the win percentage when that happens would be quite low but I've not had the time to work though the data. When trying to look at the pros and cons of the current regime, this kind of things puts the pendulum into the case for change. A couple of things have been clearly evident in recent matches. (i) The three at the back system, that worked for a period of time early season, is creaking badly - it has been getting worse and was a complete mess against Sevco and for the first 25 mins or so yesterday. The stubborn refusal to move away from it other than due red card or injury necessity was not a good look. That tactical genius Yogi Hughes put three up front yesterday, and they completely wiped the floor with us. (ii) Cosgrove and Main together is horrendous - almost a crime against football..............yet, he keeps reverting to it, week after week. If the injuries to Taylor, McCrorie and Hayes are lengthy, and McGeouch, Leigh, Devlin remain out of the picture - this will almost necessitate additions to the squad - will Cormack allow this and trust the manager to use any leverage he does get wisely? From what I saw yesterday, the last thing we need right now is Wright going anywhere. I wouldn't necessarily think that if there were fans in the ground to get on his back - but if he is to leave, the moves made to mitigate that will likely determine if 3rd (and all the likely rewards) is still on or whether we're likely to plummet down the table in the weeks to come.

You are obsessed with Aberdeen. Must be because you support a mediocre (at best) team like Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
