But the example you've given is the exact opposite of what's being claimed about CC. If anything, it helps to confirm the idea that it's a bad move to go and be a No. 2 (oo-er) when you've been a manager!

Its not the exact opposite, Adams left Ross County as manager to become hibs no2, exactly what people are talking about here, Calderwood leaving a manaerial position to become a no2.

I don't think there is the slightest possibility that Nottingham Forest would have Colin Calderwood back, in any capacity. I'd be extremely surprised at that.

I haven't heard anything here about him buying a home in Nottinghamshire (which doesn't mean to say that he hasn't) but it's something many players and managers do that have had an affiliation with the clubs here because the city is in the middle of the country and commutable to a lot of jobs.

I think he's alluding to the fact that your particular example highlights why it's such a bad idea to move to being a number 2 once you've been manager. Adams thought it would be beneficial but took him just 6 months to realise it was a bad idea.

Aye, that's what I meant, but expresso'd it badly.

I heard today that CC has not moved his family up to Edinburgh yet. To me this is not a good sign. I don't want to be negative but there is not a lot going on just now and it seems he may not be interested.

Not important at all, and not at all uncommon in football.

St Tony didn't deign to move his family either.

[R'Albin]

It shows how much he wants to be here, considering he is prepared to leave his family for a while to take the job.

Maybe he is more concerned about his kids and the upheaval for them in moving to edinburgh away from everything they know and are comfortable with when he will probably be working back down in England in a few years anyway because realistically if he is a success at Hibs he will get a better gig down there and if he isn't he'll be punted and can go back and look for other opportunities.

And im pretty sure he doesn't actually give a rats ass what the fans think about his personal life and domestic situation and TBH what exactly does it have to do with us?

How many kids has he got? Thought I'd heard he had a teenage son from a previous marriage so he wouldnt be in a position to move him anyway. No idea of his family situation however cant imagine it is that different to alot of football people who keep their family in one place and work in another. Barry Ferguson for example had his wife and kids in Lanarkshire when he was playing in Blackburn.

[ScottB]

He's divorced, so he's hardly gonna rip the kid away from his Mother and friends.

Honestly, is this level we are at now? People scouring CC's personal life to fuel a moan?

I think it's an outrage that he hasn't forced his ex-wife to move to Edinburgh. Total lack of commitment to the club.

TOTALLY AGREE



it is about time people got off there ass and got them selfs a job rather than commenting on CC and his family FFS.

[frazeHFC]

This is up there with some of my threads for being the most stupid posts ever.

Very True, my point was that it can happen and has happened in the past, personally I think its a lot of rubbish. I do however think that Calderwood sees Hibs as a stepping stone and thats why he hasnt moved up here and travels down south all the time. To be honest, everyone wants to play or manage at the highest level and teams like hibs will be stepping stones along the way for them to achieve it. I am not really that bothered by it as long as he leaves us in a very good position and makes it easy for another manager to come in.

I got the impression from interviews, that he had moved pretty close.
Mark Venus liked it here, as did his kids. I think they were at Watsons.

Fixed that for you. Its been gone over before at least once or twice before or twice before.

In this quiet close season it should be a minimum requirement that any moan should at least be a new one.

I think geography is irrelevant if I am honest. He'll do the best he can regardless of location.

The most modern way of running a succesful team is to target a Friday afternoon shopper (geography actually important in this instance), get them to act as the 'face' but pick and fax the team yourself from Eastern Europe.

It's the way forward. I am actually disappointed Calderwood has chosen to live in Edinburgh. Nothing like showboating from afar.

I wonder why no one has tried this already. Revolutionary if you ask me.

Have a funny feeling CC wont be at easter road much longer. Think he could be a number 2 at nottm forest soon. Ready to be shot down but something is brewing down Leith GGTTH

I dunno about your Forrest link, but I have certainly heard that he is not happy at ER.

The difference between my post and yours is that mine was kicked into the long grass by the mods after 5 posts- yours has made it to over 20.

His family are not based in Edinburgh. He has not bought a house here. And there are enough rumours to at least suggest the possibility of disquiet.

Hope he is happy & hope he stays because I still believe that a motivated CC could do something.

For the record JLB is a season ticket holder and I sat beside him last season. I haven't renewed this season and as I am not part of the Hibs.net clique I am probably a Yam aswell

Agreed - In my experience, anything mildly controversial is met with accusations of disloyalty on Hibs.net. It's the default setting.

[sahib]

It don't take a genius to predict that any manager is about to leave especially a Hibs one.
