He gave lots of young players a chance, Udogie, VDV, Sarr and Johnson were in his starting XI for most of the season.

If our academy players aren't considered for selection then it's because they aren't good enough.

Such a stupid argument, unless people think that he should be throwin in Moore or Donley, as if they're going to be any better than Maddison or Lo Celso or maybe putting in Will Lankshear for Son just for the lols or maybe playing Dorrington when he had no CB's, yeah makes sense, must mean he doesn't rate them lmao

I swear people are so dumb 🤦‍♀️

Dafuq are you talking about? Coaching is a "glamour job?"

They're given instructions, and AP oversees everything to make sure they're doing it right.

Who are these "glamour" coaches you think we should be bringing in?

Fucking glamour?

Oh ffs
One of the worst Hibs managers and we’ve had some absolute turnips. The guy was absolutely clueless and out his depth even in SPL.

Plenty in Australia would disagree with your assessment. Nick should never have gone near the place...

Montgomery may have been sacked, but Hibernian is the real basket case

Nick Montgomery was announced as Hibs manager on September 11 – a date notable for bad decisions and catastrophic consequences. (Too soon?)

hes assistant coach at a club worth billions off the back of no real experience and a bang average career. hes learning on the job you fool and hes no doubt only there due to a hefty bit of bum licking and sympathy.

its glamorous in the way that hes at spurs already in such a high position and not some league 2 side where he should be learning. wally brain.

What assistant coach would you prefer to get in or even better, what assistant coach would you take from our rivals who you know you could definitely trust?

Wally brain?

Are you 5?


I think I just answered my own question.
 
Montgomery is a good coach. He also played almost 400 games for Sheffield United, so will know English football inside out. He took Central Coast Mariners to the A-league title season before last with the league's smallest budget. He's a brilliant motivator and developer of talent, including academy talent. He did so well setting up the Mariners that they won the title again, against one of the league's biggest clubs in Melbourne Victory. Don't judge him on his time at Hibs, who were a basket case before he joined them. Importantly, he's a student of Angeball. He loves attacking football. Dude will hit the ground running.

To be fair, we haven't had to...
We plucked Vicario, VDV, Udogie, Sarr etc from very much under the radar, and for relatively reasonable prices...

They have all excelled, WITHOUT the need to spend ridiculous amounts...

...and on the other side of the fence, we have Club record signings Tanguy N'Dombele!

Big transfer fees don't guarantee success!

Does he have the respect of cabbages ? ( see transfer thread for context )

But you'd agree they go an awful long way towards achieving success, yeah?

After all, we don't compete with our big 6 rivals when when it comes to transfer fees, but we're the only one of the Big 6 that never wins a damn thing!!

The most austere football club in the PL but with an empty trophy cabinet as a result. .

The stats pretty much kill your argument, matey.

Stop chatting shit. He's been around since like 2018 and has worked his way up from youth team/academy coach to first team coach. He's been promoted and kept around by managers like Mourinho and Conte and now Ange. He has plenty of experience under 3 wildly different managers with different styles and coaching techniques.

No one here really knows how good or bad a coach Mason is but the fact that these 3 managers, particularly Conte and Mourinho who like to bring in their own guys, have liked him as a coach and kept him around is testament that he's atleast a decent coach and not a liability like some of you are scapegoating him to be.

It's most definitely important to get all the staff members singing from the same hymn sheet. Everyone needs to believe in the same thing.

Shame he didn't play for Real Madrid or something though in his playing career. As that automatically makes you a better coach. Apparently.

Ange talking about how much he loves seeing young players thrown in to the deep end

After a season where he has barely given young players a chance

Makes you think he doesn't particularly rate any of our youngsters at this point in time

They can only go in if they are good enough. We obviously don’t have any that are chapping the door apart from Moore. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t. Moore looks like the one that’s a bit special. Bergvall looks the part too and I think it will be him and Moore who we might see more of.

He literally went into last season starting a 20 year old on CM, a 20 year old at LB and a 22 year old at CB. Two of which had zero Prem experience.

The narrative of Ange not giving youth that are good enough a chance has been shot down multiple times.

The youngest ever footballer to play for this club was handed his debut by, you've guessed if, Ange.

People will really nitpick and moan about anything these days 😂
