Fowler still rocking the BLM emojis from 4 years ago. What a hero.

Do BL’s not M anymore? 

VLLM where you’re concerned amirite

Fuck it, get big Nil in and let’s get on with our assault on 6th place. We can sort it out properly in the summer.

Fucking reeks of when Hibs fans thought they were appointing that Jon Dahl Tommasson and ended up with Lee Johnson 


We haven't been a serious football club for over 10 years

I think he’d get more time if he’d come straight from the Liverpool 23s or whatever.

The reviews from Blackpool saying he doesn’t seem to be able to change system and players being shoe horned in to the wrong positions is like flashbacks to our last two managers.

Budge is trying to Stockholm syndrome is all in to apathy

Cifuentes did an unbelievable job at QPR last year tbf.

I wonder what our non-footballing brains have put into the search engine to come out with Neil Critchley. 
It's a possibility that one of them has hit the wrong button.

So did Naismith

I just don't see anything from his background that makes him a good candidate.

No playing career, no charisma, no trophies won.

Scottish football really isn't that complicated. Neilson and Naismith both fucked it when they started overthinking things and shoehorning players into a system that didn't work. Critchley looks like more of the same shite that doesn't work.

Here's a Critchley search on one of the Blackpool forums

Boring and too defensive.

"I can't believe how much time we've waste on him, he's set us back years".

They all seem to be calling him a snake for some reason, maybe that's where the lizard thing fits in.

Cany believe he's bringing Ian Buzzkill with him anaw.

Get it forward, fast, attack!

Nah, play it back, keep possession for the sake of it go nowhere, do nothing, let them back in to settle defensive

What makes this guy any better than the likes of Paul Heckingbottom? who Hibs sacked. 
Paul Heckingbottom who managed Barnsley, Leeds Utd, Sheffield Utd and now Preston North End.

This is the guy who would be Paul Heckinbottom's assistant.

I'd actually rather do a swapsie with St Johnstone, take their man and give them the PE teacher.

I'm starting to wonder if Bloom is a hibs fan at the windup.

Aye, it makes you wonder eh? They were able to pay compensation for him as well.

Six trophies

Outside of a bad spell in Norway, seems to have done quite well everywhere else and obviously knows Scottish football from his playing days. Be interesting to see how he does at St Johnstone. A more impressive CV than our man

Czaba Lazlo has a more impressive CV than our man 

Looking at Valakari’s wikipedia couple of instances where he’s had disagreements at board level so no chance of him being brought in by us anyway

Surprised not to hear an announcement today
