Surely not

[erskine-hibby]

Heard a rumour that TB is away most of the summer at the world cup? I would have thought, if true, that his time would be better spent getting players in and getting them ready for the new season??

Plenty players lined up (apparently).

he was away on Wednesday instead of watching killie, so would it really surprise you?

[Coco Bryce]

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Our club is a shambles.

I saw this on Facebook tonight, with a bit of luck he won't be our manager by then.

SACKABLE OFFENSE.

Yes it would actually. Regardless of the amount of players that are, or are not, lined up. I would expect a good long preseason to get them ready for the next campaign.

Is it?

[Sir David Gray]

Can't see this being true.

Messi has signed for Stranraer - it has been confirmed.

[IberianHibernian]

By law it won`t be a sackable offence . Club appointed him seemingly without interviewing other candidates ( ex Málaga and Betis manager was rumoured as being interested for example but was he interviewed ? ) and I`m sure he made it clear he had media commitments before . After we had won a couple of games at New Year he was quick to tell press about how his Rangers and England past helped him to attract good players and I think Petrie ( or whoever appointed TB ) bought into all the press hype and took Butcher at any cost ( one cost being away for media stuff -arrogantly they may even have thought that his past connections helped our club ) . Butcher appointment was a huge mistake whatever happens in play off and if WC TV stuff is true is yet another example of how poorly run club is .

Me

i couldn't care less if he's at the World Cup, down south or anywhere else for that matter, I'm sure the modern technology these days allows him to conduct his business from anywhere with the help from his management team who I'm assuming won't be there with him. It's the close season and so what if he's there, I'm more interested in what he does when he and the players return to work for preseason.

if he's still here that is and I can't say I'd be unhappy if he wasn't here.

[CallumLaidlaw]

World Cup ends on 13th july. England will be out by end of June. I have no issue with him having a holiday. If he uses that to do media work then fair enough. I'm sure he'll be back by 1st July for pre season. If players have already been identified, we may have them signed up before he goes.

To be fair, most of the players that Hibs target would see working with a former England captain as an attraction.

Sam allerdyce said the other day he loves modern technology as he can get deals down whilst on the beach. So if it can work for west game think we will be fine

Will his phone not ring while he is in Brazil? Or maybe texts and emails will show up in Portuguese and he may miss a signing because of language difficulties? FFS - does the world only continue in Scotland if a person is sat next to a land-line?

He should have called off.

Anything to beat TB with though

I remember a similar pattern with Pat Fenlon

And Mixu... etc etc.....

[davhibby]

Nothing wrong with it. He'll know who he wants now anyway so he'll still be able to get them in. Can't waste an opportunity to have a go at anyone connected with the club though!

Too right

[matty_f]

Personally I think it's a great opportunity for him to develop his football knowledge and broaden his contacts, both things which can benefit Hibs.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

He might smuggle Claros back in his suit case!

Benefit Hibs in being a mid table (if we're lucky) championship club?

I'm sure contacts will be going out their way to help him.

He'll be at the World Cup as Ex-hibs manager anyway.
