Nick Montgomery News

Hibernian FC,Scottish Premiership,Jack Ross

The Easter Road club have axed the manager but he was up against it from the very start, argues Scott Burns.

Another Hibs manager has bitten the dust. A short and rather blunt statement released this morning confirmed Nick Montgomery and his coaches, Sergio Raimundo and Miguel Miranda, had been relieved of their duties.

Montgomery took over from Johnson and it was clear from the get-go that his predecessor had blown the budget. The Hibs hierarchy had decided to invest heavily in development players. Decent wages and fees went on this ham-fisted project.

Brian McDermott was brought in as director of football and now the club are looking to bring in a technical director but there remains too much emphasis on data analysis. When Montgomery came in and identified his squad he made it clear that the majority of these players weren’t anywhere near the level required for a first-team player at Hibs.

That was the downfall for Montgomery because if he had brought in at least one quality centre half then his team would have made the top six. Instead they were denied by a stoppage time equaliser at Motherwell and that was when the Hibs board put the final nail in Montgomery’s coffin.
