As others have said, it must be Heckingbottom.

I've not followed his recent career so might need some help to understand?

Simple checks show he has never won an honour as player or manager and his win percentage record is disgusting.

Is it sarcasm?

[fine-n-dandy]

I remember he had Hibs playing pretty decent/exciting football, what data Dave claims he wants 🤣 snake oil selling prick he is.

Hibs scored a lot of goals with him. Yeah they shipped loads as well if I remember right but they rarely had boring games & few draws. 

[CCB III]

Would be class. 
 

Never happening, though. 
 

That would require a healthy mix of ambition and competence that the fecks in suits don't have.

He's 60. And Aberdeen is a fucking great job.

Hibs were Mowbray's first job. Didn't hear many complaints from the Hibs fans about his inexperience when he was winning manager of the year 

Never suggested it wasn't a great job. Well done on the age.

100% I'd take Mowbray, experienced manager, knows how to set a team up to play decent football, good eye for a player and would sort us right out, however......I seem to remember reading him not being too arsed when Blackburn decided not to extend his contract as he'd been away from his family for years and was looking to get back home to be with them. The Sunderland job was a good fit for him location wise, not too sure at this stage he'd be keen to come to us.

I would hope someone has at least sounded him out or plans to but probably not given how inept our FMB are.

Never said he wasn't

I’m not certain about Mowbray- don’t know a lot about what he’s done since leaving Scotland.

However he is absolutely the sort of experienced option we should be considering.

Every appointment is a bit of a gamble but our last 3 have all been absolute wildcards tbh. Crazy appointments for a supposedly big club in the Scottish context.

Id rather go for someone completely outwith Scotland thats never managed or played in this country but has been successful in current job or last handful. This would probably be at a lower level but recent success is more important to me than experience. Said candidate should also be known for an attacking style if that is still our actual philosophy.

If we sack Robson, and we don't go for or get Mowbray I'm just so looking forward to all the keyboard warriors here bemoaning us for it... just can't wait. 👍

I would as well.

The point is though we should be looking for guys that fit these sort of profiles.

Not coaches with literally zero experience of senior football management or first team coaching.

And not coaches with a little experience at smaller clubs but where fuck all was achieved and there is nothing to suggest they have something about them.

Will they?

I think the key thing is we appoint a proper fucking manager next time.

I think its going to be pretty damn obvious it's to be a very experienced football manager.

I’m not sure Mowbray is certain at this stage either, mate!

Like the boy at Kilmarnock? That sort of proper manager! 

[Dons79]

I heard that if we sack Robson our next manager is going to be Lennon

Well we need to look forwards, not back.

I just want the club to look a bit further than the end of their nose and appointment someone who can get the team playing but also build something medium term.

Experienced manager yes but also likely to throw a chair at your star striker and call your female execs A Fucking Dyke.

As long as it's only till the end of the season it would be a fucking massive improvement on what we've got now dragging us into the relegation zone.

Missed the boat with Levein.  More home wins in three matches than Robbo has managed all season and with extra Euro games.

[Redtaz2]

He. Is certainly experienced , if we could come to an agreement with his terms and scope he will have then I support us going for him 

[Crashnyploshnit]

If it’s anyone ex. Celtic we will end up with Scott Brown which is a no thanks from me.
