Would you accept a hearts manager at hibs?

**blueisthecolour** · 14-06-2011 12:49 PM

Reading the thread on big eck would you accept a former hearts manager as the new hibs manager?

***matty_f*** · 14-06-2011 12:51 PM

The Yams haven't had a manager in recent times that I rate highly enough to manage Hibs, so for that reason, I'm out.

**Lofarl** · 14-06-2011 12:52 PM

Yes. Just as long as he was a cafflick, Irish and admitted it was his boyhood ambition. More to the point would rangers accept a former Celtic manager?

Willie McCartney and Willie Ormond both managed Hearts before Hibs

**~~Hibs7~~** · 14-06-2011 12:53 PM

No effing chance

Depends on who it is, how good a manager they are and the manner of their departure from Hearts.

***HibbyAndy*** · 14-06-2011 12:59 PM

Alex Miller was never accepted because he was a Hun, No chance a Hearts manager would be accepted at Easter rd.

**Cabbage East** · 14-06-2011 01:03 PM

No danger.

**Westie1875** · 14-06-2011 01:19 PM

No

**Sir David Gray** · 14-06-2011 01:27 PM

Before he went back to Hearts, I wouldn't have been too unhappy with Jim Jefferies coming to Hibs.

He's a good manager at SPL level and I don't think we would have finished 10th if he had been our manager last season.

I realise that Jefferies would almost certainly never accept the Hibs job and that the vast majority of Hibs fans would never accept him at Easter Road so for those reasons it would never happen in a million years but I think we could do worse.

Would never take the likes of Rix, Ivanauskas, Malofeev, Burley or Laszlo though and I would never accept Craig Levein as Hibs boss either.

You'd really accept Jeffries as our manager? Really? I'm glad you're not representative of my fellow Hibbys then.

That was nothing to do with it.

I think we'd all take Alex Ferguson or Walter Smith without much trouble?

I thought it was for the soporific football on display. Back then you needed a regular dig in the ribs to stay awake. Won us a cup though.

***givescotlandfreedom*** · 14-06-2011 01:57 PM

We're all fickle. There would be folk complaining at first but if he started getting results and conducted himself the right way his history would be long forgotten.

I'm not saying he would be my first choice or that I would actively call for the Hibs board to make contact with him but, what I'm saying is, if that is what they decided to do, I think we could do a lot worse.

I realise that most people would be strongly opposed to this though so it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle and all the aggro that it would undoubtedly bring.

**~~Saorsa~~** · 14-06-2011 02:10 PM

NO!

**heretoday** · 14-06-2011 02:14 PM

I'd take anyone who reckons he can do a job for Hibs. Even Walter Smith.

JJ would have done just fine.

**HIBERNIAN-0762** · 14-06-2011 02:35 PM

Don't even go there! I'm feeling sick just replying to this thread...

No thanks.

***Hibs Class*** · 14-06-2011 02:50 PM

Of the ones mentioned Burley would cause me the fewest problems.

Surely that is what is important? Or more precisely, someone who we reckon can do a job. Put it this way, if Hibs were in the market for a new manager and top of the heap just happened to be someone who managed Hearts, why settle for second best? Settling for second best is not a popular idea around here.

***CropleyWasGod*** · 14-06-2011 03:59 PM

Some bizarre answers here.

So, most folk would have refused Willie McCartney.... the man who laid the foundations for the Famous Five era...... and Willie Ormond, one of our most famous players ever. Just because they managed Hearts?

The expression "small-minded" was invented for fitba fans.

**hibee1994** · 14-06-2011 04:07 PM

Depends how they conducted themselves at Hearts in relation to Hibs. I mean i wouldn't take anyone who just constantly bad mouthed Hibs but i'd be happy to take someone who knows what they are doing, not that Hearts will ever get someone like that

***Baader*** · 14-06-2011 04:18 PM

Well, it's happened before, as pointed out, with McCartney (done not too badly!) and Ormond (although forever associated with us.) Whoever does a good job for Hibs is fine by me.
