Our Beloved Monty

[Huddo]

Wish Monty well.

Onwards and upwards, AFC cup treble this year.

Yeah Talay is a decent shout and is currently working with the Socceroos I think?

I think Talay football is actually better structured and better to watch then Monty’s tactics.

Not taking away from Monty’s plan that got the job done!

Talay & Saad + Analyst - A-League

Muller & Simon - Academy

Saad then takes over when Talay moves on.

But I do have a feeling Hutch is on his way.

I could possibly live with a Hutch/Cahn pairing to take us forward but sorry to say, I think the impact of losing Monty and whoever else departs with him will be too big a disruption for the boys to get over. The team had Monty and Serge’s DNA all over it and that’s going to be very hard to replicate under anyone else.

The squad is in good shape thankfully but it’s the coaching staff that set the standards and drive the team to achieve. I’m not saying someone else couldn’t possibly do it but the challenge will be significant.

I am honestly surprised that the lure of Asian competition wasn’t enough to keep Monty here for one more season but that’s football and if it’s done it’s done but the hurt is real at the moment and please, please don’t let this become a repeat of the fall after the 2013 championship.

would have been worse if we told monty no you are staying regardless of the offer and blocking monty from leaving i have confidence we will be ok and we have better resources than 2013

Spot on there

 

[gemkayem]

Well, f**k.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I think Hutch is too smart to take on a winning side.
Only way is down.

Who comes in as manager? They will want their own asst. Both need something different if they're the main man (IMO).

 

[midfielder]

Abbas running a-league training today. Monty and Sergio on plane already apparently

FMD....

 

[crock]

We have better resources now we knew at one point monty was going to leave club were desperate to keep monty for one more season but monty obviously wanted to take it so we weren't going to say no you can't take it let's have faith

 

[Spacks]

we've got 1 month before R1 of A-League and 16 days before AFC Groups to find a new manager.

World wide search?
My guess is the club is madly getting a replacement so they can make an announcement
As mentioned above. The scars from last time run very deep. Something you hope the powers that be are aware of

 

[BrisRecky]

Goodonya Monty…but…AHHH SHIT !, f**k me if I don’t hate football sometimes

16 days was precisely the timeline between Staj leaving and announcing Monty as his successor ?

Save the time and heartache, if Bielsa’s unavailable throw it straight to Ben Cahn.

 

[Meerkat]

Why, someone who helps young players improve and go overseas and also has done very well with Visa players.

Wellington looked flat as a tac for a lot of last season.

When he was in the frame last time he was very keen to come back.

Has taken Melb Knights to first finals series since 2015 and most goals they have ever scored in a season.

Impressive young coach.

I'm pissed off Monty has dogged us for a shitty side like Hibs but if the money was too sweet who can blame him.

 

[LG__]

We all knew this day would come but it still doesn’t make it any easier to take.
Monty and Serge forever CCM legends.

 

[nero]

Was only thinking we would have Monty for 12 more months before he goes on.
How to we stop the rot?
Fingers crossed that someone comes in that can continue the culture like a Muscat

 

[Allreet?]

But Hutch knows the town...

 

[Allreet?]

Just had a look on the Hibs forum, and this thread is being quoted there.
