Shaun Maloney

Now there’s a sensible suggestion. We won’t do that, obviously.

 

Harsh to call him failed. Pep would fail at Hibs

Both have different attributes..

But, I'm unsure if he knows enough about the modern game and players or has the energy for it.. he does know how to run a football club though, especially Celtic.

Maloney, is intelligent and forward thinking with good elite experience as a coach. He could also bring continuity between managers.

I would actually take either, as its recognition that, that's the modern structure needed.

In reality neither have any experience in that role.

 

To be fair, Maloney was given 4 months at Hibs after they'd sold their top scorer without replacing him. Not exactly sure what Hibs were expecting.

 

As simple a statement as you could possibly produce. Context is key...

 

He would be a realistic fit for the Current Board and has plenty in the bank with the support..

But for me he would be the wrong man to modernise the club and structure, but any small steps would be welcome. New structure with someone who knows how to win in Scotland, could work.

We were discussing it in the joint thread earlier, for me, like everyone it's great to see MON back and the dynamic between him and Maloney looks to be very good. And its bought us time to ensure a new manager is the right man. And that's as far as it goes for me, end of the season max..

Ideally a new DoF, has experience of working with an innovative modern thinking club. Can operate on a £50–70m squad value, has proven ability to recruit undervalued talent.
Understands data-led scouting and potential new manager fit. As well as work with the constraints and almost unique make up of our board..

For me the last part is the part MON would excel at, the rest he would need a lot of help with.

 

MON would be totally unsuited to a DoF role I think. Hes a motivator and a man manager. A good guy to have in the dressing room. But directing football operations in the modern game - I dont see it at all.

I thinks hes come in with Maloney and given a dressing room low on morale a lift. Id be cautious as to how much mileage that gets though in the medium to longer turn and whether the bounce wears off.

 

Everyone gets sacked at those clubs lol. And they find a hit once every 10 years
