I’d honestly be tempted to give it to May & co until the summer, as none of the names mentioned are particularly exciting right now. These are the top 5 favourites according to the sack race:
Jack Ross - does he play the kind of attacking football we want to see? I don’t know, but I’m not convinced he does. Plus he massively favours a 4231, which we all know simply doesn’t work at Hibs. Could be the right man, but not the outstanding candidate some believe he is.
Motherwell’s consistently limp performances against the Glasgow sides, particularly Celtic, is my main concern over Stephen Robinson getting the job. Maybe that’s something that would change with a “better” squad, but again I’m not convinced. That said, he changed their style of play and promoted young players, so I’m not against him getting the job.
Harry Kewell - naw, just naw.
Henrik Larson - never done much as a manager, so again, naw.
Nathan Jones - too many similarities to Hecky: doesn’t know Scottish football, done well at a small club in England, before failing at a big one when given the chance. Naw.
