AFC Cup

If you read the Hibs forums he will have no shortage of offers to help pack and drive to the airport.

Foolish, no patience. They've turned over so many managers, got to be given time to build something.

When a whole football league is geared at 10 average teams trying to come 3rd in a 2 team comp they are never going to have time to build. Maybe if he had won a derby he might have got a bit more sympathy but unlikely.

Something like 6 in 5 years the place is a bone yard.

Some of those clubs would regard 3rd has an achievement. But he joined a club where 3rd was a minimum expectation, certainly amongst the fans.

The club didn't publicise the results but we supposedly got thumped in a few pre-season games last season. I wondered at the time if he was doubting the players he had brought in and didn't believe he could turn it round. Was anticipating a disappointing season and his stocks falling, and decided to gamble on the Hibs role rather than be patient and wait for the right opportunity

Maybe 20 years ago 3rd was a realistic expectation for Hibs but it definitely shouldn't be now.

At the moment they would be lucky to expect to be the 3rd best team in Edinburgh, never mind the whole SPL.

I didn't say it was a realistic expectation, but that is the expectation of the fans. Which is why it was a dumb move - he pretty much had to overachieve just to keep his job.

I hope Monty gets to Sheffield. I do hate the idea of our CCM family playing or coaching against us

CCU?

Wilder isnt going anywhere it seems and they are an off the field basket case IIRC.
Already docked 2 points in the championship for failing to pay transfer fees to other clubs

 

[Rising Sun]

Even if they dump Wilder, the poor results at Hibs will ensure Monty is not in the running. He is going to have to get some runs on the board in the UK, won't get the gig on sentiment alone

If he can't convince Hibs to give him longer then is next best option is to hope he can convince a club a bit lower down the chain - Scottish championship or English division 1 or 2 - to look beyond the results at Hibs. I think coming back to Oz would be a retrograde step for him given his ambitions

 

[VonBowellski]

Maybe off to Sheffield as 1st assistant coach with the plan to move him into the main gig.

Chris Wilder has had the same assistant over several years and several clubs, they are very much a team, so I can't see that happening either

 

[pjennings]

Portimense with Sergio as a conduit between them and us?

 

[shipwreck]

I couldn't stomach Monty coming back here to coach another ALeague team.

 

[Michael]

I reckon if we kept tulio, holy shit would have smashed some teams.

I whole heartedly agree, if he’d have stayed or we had another prolific #9 we would’ve won the league quite convincingly. I honestly think if come august, Tulio is still getting minimal minutes for an average team, we make a real go of getting him back on loan especially for the champions league, we need some proper elite visas for that comp. Yeah he’s on great money there but he’s also trying to make it to a higher level, hence coming here for exposure in the first place.

Can anyone help.

I want to buy the AFC shirt. Compared to the Paladin one from last year ( which mine is a large), do I need to go up a size (XL) with the Cikers one or are the same sizing.

This is the kind of thing I meant, not as first team coach

So does the trophy come home with the playing group in economy or with Rich

They are tiny. You need to go up at least 2 sizes...maybe 3.

It's actually the opposite for Jackson
