would yogi benefit with experience

[andyhibs]

what i am saying is, would yogi do a better job if he had an experienced man alongside him, dare i say craig brown , alex smith, tommy craig etc or would yogi feel he doesnt need someone along those lines, thoughts

I doubt Craig Brown would leave Motherwell to be assistant to Hughes, the other way around wouldn't be as bad.:wink:

[Jack]

I think the best person to answer that would be Brian Rice!
I actually thought it would work for JC and Mixu. I dont think it would work for Yogi on a normal basis but I'd like to think he will give a few of his more experienced pals at least a ring when we're in Europe.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

The man that sits behind the desk in the Manager's office at Easter Road has to be big enough to take the job on. This club should not really be part of someone's learning curve to another job.:grr:

[Bayern Bru]

Aye, what's Davie Hay up to these days? We could sit him up in the West Stand wi' a tartan rug and a mobile phone. :greengrin

[--------]

Craig Brown wouldn't leave Motherwell.

Alex Smith is IMO past it - I never had a particularly high opinion of him anyway.

Tommy Craig's an utter, complete numpty. Couldn't run a tap.

If we parted ways with Yogi and then decided we needed an old head to steady things the only old head I'd entertain would be Alex Miller's. ot as a long-term appointment, but as a means of steadying things up and preparing for the next guy, I'd expect Alex to do a decent job.

TBF, I'd expect the same from Craig Brown. But appointing someone like that now, over Yogi's head? Just as well sack the man and be done with it.

[Vini1875]

No, at least none of the old dinosaurs that hang around Scottish football.

[erskine-hibby]

Maybe we could farm him out on loan:greengrin

Am I missing something? I could have sworn Yogi had a few years at Falkirk. Maybe not.

[Ritchie]

Bring back jocky scott!!

Wha's in cherge here???

And, as Yogi claims himself, the most succesful manager in their history:

"most successful manager in the club's history; got them in the SPL, kept them there; won the Challenge Cup; produced many a young player; Scottish Cup final; two CIS Cup finals; Europe,"

Not bad with a team who took over in the first division.

He's also spent the majority of his first year at Hibs in 3rd and now 4th place.

yogi is a big enough for the role on his own:agree:

[ScottB]

Yogi has been a manager for 5 years. Can we stop this idea that he is some novice like JC or Mowbray was?

He is more than experienced enough to be able to correct basic mistakes. If he still can't it raises big questions for me.

He pretty much got then promoted twice, but the first time round they wouldn't allowed it cause their stadium wasn't big enough, he achieved a fair bit at Falkirk.

the point i am trying to make is , would yogi do better with someone vastly more experienced with him, the names mentioned on the op was just examples:wink:

Since half-time at Ibrox in February, things haven't really went to plan.
Ofcourse.:agree:

[andyhibs]

Facts? Two CIS Cup Finals?:confused:

That was a quote but I presume it should have been semi finals!

[IWasThere2016]

Sssh boys, dinnae let facts get in the way of things!

He didnae actually win anything of note though :wink: unlike JC did in the fraction of the time :wink:

I'm no interested in what Yogi has or hasnae done elsewhere - I want to see him turn us around.

The fact is the current form is unacceptable.

We cannot finish this season with the next 5 games being poor performances/defeats.

I think the reason for Collins winning us a Cup so quickly was partly down to the fact that he done it with what was mainly Mowbray's team.

:blah::blah::blah:

Is Yogi going to be able to pull a super-duper squad from somewhere for the next 5 games like?

After JC's initial good run, where did we end up? What was our form like after the cup final and then into the next season?
