Just got home to find Jon Dahl Tomasson is the latest to be the next manager. Any truth in it? Could be an interesting one.

Looking more likely than the others linked.

Nobody called our DOF.

I wouldn't be surprised if we've not mentioned the new manager in this thread.

Just got back to find that we have blasted through the “magical 333.”

While we are waiting for a manager’s announcement why not relax with Gooch’s 333.

How would you feel if he now became manager for us, was a big success at the club and a fan favourite and it all stemmed from you just putting his name out there!! 🙌

 

(also great to know precisely who to blame if he turns out to be 💩😅)

I'd probably give him a shot tbh, no pun intended, but I think he'd at least get us scoring goals. Used to love watching him as a player.

Obviously did a good job at Malmo and whilst they are one of the bigger clubs in Sweden it's not a 1 or 2 horse race to be fair.

As I mentioned in the original post it might be a Graham Potteresque appointment and he's not done so bad....

Santo. Zidane. Villas-Boas. Fonesca.

Just in case! 😉

Don’t know if that’s scary or not.

Just checking in since I last looked on this thread and still no nearer hiring a manager and another 10-15 pages of waffle and speculation

We were down to the dregs in terms of candidates last time so what do you call anything that's below the bottom of the barrel?

A number of clubs have replaced their managers since Mowbray departed, some in a matter of days, and the length of time it is taking is yet another indication of the dysfunctional nature of our club. It just doesn't work like it should

Those in charge (whoever they are) obviously decided to let Mowbray go months ago but it's equally obvious they did so without any plan whatsoever over who would replace him.

No other football club (or business) operates like this. 

Jim there are teams in the Rymans Prem Lge & other non-league clubs run better than us! 🙄

Looking more and more like all potentials are too expensive for our budget so they are going to promote Johnson.

Who mentioned Banana Splits? I got it on You Tube and now it's an earworm running round my head.

Probably, though I'd say our budget is too low rather than all the potentials are too high.

Not long now hopefully!

Cant imagine venkys will be quick to approve anything unfortunately.

Based on this, we should get some important questions answered. 

Yes, we will break 350 pages. I would say it is UNLIKELY we break 400, but we have a chance of breaking 375.

Billionaires who chuck 15/20 million away per season but simply refuse to hire a top quality manager and his staff.

There are no words to describe the thought processes of these people.

Hibs reportedly passed on Tomasson due to excessive wage demands and lack of knowledge of British players. Doesn’t exactly sound promising.

I assume that's what the DoF football would be here for but, yeah, a concern for sure.

What Hibs offer compared to what we offer would be deemed excessive in that market, if he has good knowledge of the scandanavian market we can take advantage of that.

Brian Lara breathes a sigh of relief with his 400 NO record looking safe. For now.

Tomasson strikes me as one who as I said earlier is desperate to resume his coaching career and who seems to have been throwing his hat in the ring all over the place.

I'm a bit concerned by him. Not sure what it is but see little there to give me any confidence, though I would take him over many of the names involved at this stage.

Complete shambles of a club but some will be so desperate to see some conclusion to this exhausting process they won't actually be bothered who we get as long as it is someone.

[G Somerset Rover]

You imagine it’s JDT who is our man then, unless an agent gets in the right ear before the ink on the contract is dry.

Thank goodness for lack of knowledge on British players. Time we look more and more outside of the UK for players, especially those from Scotland and Ireland

I hope you’re right, but not sure that will be so easy in terms of work permits etc, especially now.

The whole process has been such.a joke I find it difficult to have faith in the outcome.

Hibs are extremely foreign based in their recruitment right now, don't buy that story personally
