Our Beloved Monty

[Insertnamehere]

I can’t remember what Abbas’ background was before coming here but maybe others can help. I think had he got another 12 months around Monty that would have been the succession plan, is it too early to put him into the spotlight? I don’t know but worth considering. If you had someone like Cahn coming in you could still have Abbas looking at the main job in 1-3 years depending on performances.

Believe he won NPL1 with Olympic and Bonnyrig. So in that regard has done a bit. N

I'm just keen for some clarity now

Not bad then. At least the club will have seen him up close and had a plenty of opportunity to understand if they think he’s up to it.

I imagine he was veted by the likes of Matt and Monty prior to coming into the NPL job.

Agree, the band aid needs to be ripped off quick so we can move on. No one likes removing a band aid slowly when you are really hairy and the Club is very hairy.

Surely cahn and hutch are frontrunner for job

Can't see Hutch coming back.
Abbas was a fine player and a very highly regarded coach.
The way he sorted out Ratboys cluster f**k so quickly speaks volumes
I reckon he's the guy.
Get old mate back from WSW to run NPL
Fixed

Well wasn’t Wilkshire given the academy gig with the plan to take over from Monty when he eventually left? Came in with only NPL experience.
Perhaps that was also the plan for Abbas, who’s NPL coaching exp is probably a higher standard than Wilkshire’s was.


Thought Hibs would’ve announced Monty by now tbh. Perhaps they really are interviewing their shortlist in person. Kinda weird.

 

[Allreet?]

Maybe there's a chance Monty's not leaving (yet) after all?

Maybe it's Monty interviewing them. He probably wants to see first hand what he's getting himself into rather than joining for money. He knows what he's leaving, he probably wants to see what he's considering joining. Either that or he's not fully sold and needs convincing so they brought him over.

Preseason, nothing better to do than stir shit.

I'm sure Monty is clammering to go and spend winter in Scotland rather than gain International experience coaching through an Asian Cup...not.

And would he drag his wife and teenage daughters away from Terrigal back to winter in Scotland? Methinks not

I reckon this is probably the scenario. I’ve heard they’re going to see the proposal first hand and if it’s not lucrative in terms of the whole proposal they’ll be back.
We can hope

He's at Hibs to bring back our last visa player plus his fave player Lewis.

Birraz did.

This is honestly just going the way of the Cummings to India rumour. We all hoped it was wrong, it became so solid we accepted it was right, then it took so long for the club to confirm that we started going fanciful and wishful and hopeful, even though the truth was still staring us in the face.

In my experience, once @priorpete says it’s too late and it’s happening, it’s done.

With the one exception of Dan Hall.

 

[Tevor]

Birraz did.

Now that wasn’t his best career decision.

No arguments there.

Dan was gone but something changed

The post game recovery sessions at the beach are are going to be a rude shock to the Hibs boys

It's our way of coping
