And ---------- what happens next?


:hmmm:

[Skanko79]

:hmmm:

Dunno, hopefully he will be appointed boss. :agree:

[nonshinyfinish]

Dunno, hopefully he will be appointed boss. :agree:

:wink:

[--------]

Or if he'd had a more capable assistant / mentor.

:agree: He could hardly have had a less capable one.

I still haven't worked out what Craig was all about....

Is he in the Marriot? Billy Stark was staying there last week.

[Skanko79]

Is he in the Marriot? Billy Stark was staying there last week.

To be honest mate id rather not say, when he came for talks i was told he was there (much to the amusement of a few folk on here may i add) and he was.

He is deffo back Monday.

[PaulSmith]

Stevenson quoted as saying he expects things to happen over the next few days.

Clarke is still my odds on fav for the job.

[Gatecrasher]

RP told our table at BTG that we were no further on from yesterday so thats the latest :agree:

[Part/Time Supporter]

RP told our table at BTG that we were no further on from yesterday so thats the latest :agree:

Do you know how far on they were yesterday?

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere and sorry if it is. Doesn't really say much we dont know though.

[jdships]

what a load of bollix

And you are referring to what ?
:confused:

[Wheat Hound]

Right, where are all the Sunday paper rumours then? Or, are there none? All I've seen thus far is Chick Young's nonentity of an article on the bbc and a line in the Hunday Mail saying Clarke is still favourite.

Clarke was 1/6 but colin calderwood is now the favourite. clarke is available for 11/4 for those that still fancy it

It's now 6/4 Clarke and 2/1 Calderwood.

In other words, it's still all up in the air.

now 6/4

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I'd rather Jimmy Calderwood than Colin. Seriously.

[Wheat Hound]

I'd rather Jimmy Calderwood than Colin. Seriously.

I concur, though hope it is neither and that negotiations are continuing with Clarke and that Petrie stumps up the required 5 grand a week.

[James70]

Calderwood's statistics as a manager don't stack up too impressively though he seems to be doing ok as assistant at Newcastle. I wouldn't want to have to pay compensation to the Geordies again after the last individual we had to pay them for!

Also his comments about the minute's silence following the Phil O'Donnell tragedy didn't go down too well.

If it's between him and Clarke then please let it be Clarke.

you know something?

[Wheat Hound]

[/B]

you know something?

Just a whisper yesterday that's already been mentioned on the bounce that Clarke had agreed 5 grand a week with RP only to come back woth his agent and be told the 5 grand was for him and his assistant. May well be pash but then again would anyone be overly shocked if it were true?

Jeez i really hope thats not true, :grr:

[--------]

It could be that Clarke is OK about coming but that the SFA are being awkward about Stark.

A wee bird suggested that Stephen Glass, who has all his certificates and is now training at East Mains, might be a suitable assistant for Clarke.

Cannae see it myself - Clarke 'n Stark, fine.

But Clark 'n Glass doesnae rhyme.

Obvious, I'd have thought. :rolleyes:

If Hibs are paying for it he's lucky Rod didn't book him into the Travel Lodge :wink:

[GloryGlory]

Today's Daily Express has it that we've made official approaches through an agent to Shamrock R and Bohemians about Michael O'Neil or Pat Fenlon. Asking about compo at this stage. Also says that Fenlon is the one the Board want. :confused: :confused:

I think its looking increasingly likely that someone has turned us down??? :confused:

[euro Hibby]

don't believe Rod will be into paying compo especially since there are good managers available without clubs. Hibs will aslo be forking out for Yogi and Rice.

Whatever, whoever comes has not got an easy job. Inmy view Yogi shot himself in the foot , talking too much rather than working in silence !

[steviehibsleith]

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Serious business serious process with likely a number of candidates
Incidently how long did the board take over moggas appointment? Is that not the benchmark?
Rod seems to me to be keeping everyone on their toes - that way he keeps his options open and demands will likely be tempered if the folks really want the gig

[hibs0666]

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?

Got same text this morning

[tomhorn]

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?
Aye. Heard this too. Allegedly from a player.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?

Not best pleased if true.

[Wheat Hound]

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?

Not sure id be happy with that, given Starks last job pre u21s was Queens Park having been punted by St Johnstone and Morton. Happy for him to be assistant but no the top man.

[Steve20]

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?

Yep, but hope it's not true.

[Danderhall Hibs]

It was doing the rounds of the taxi ranks last night I think.

It's so easy to make stuff up and spread the word nowadays.

It does seem that folk are prepared to believe every piece of speculation that appears in the press. They know nothing.

Tony Mowbray was announced as manager on Monday 24 May, but I have a feeling that Hibs will wait till tomorrow at the earliest, if indeed they have got their man, just to get the weekend's games and aftermath out of the way.

That's just speculation though, too.

This is fun.

Please don't shoot the messenger! I reported what is in today's paper, that's all. Never said I believed a word of it (hence the :confused:). For the record (or express or sun) I don't believe what is printed in the press when they are speculating about Hibs. I wait for confirmation on the official site.

Hibernian midfielder Kevin McBride says sacked manager John Hughes phoned to wish the team well ahead of Saturday's 2-1 win over Kilmarnock.

Sorry, if my post was a bit pointed. It was really just a general observation about folk grabbing onto any and every rumour from every and any source as if it was the word of god.

Just the reports and supplements in the papers.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Just the reports and supplements in the papers.

Well if it's maximum exposure they're after they should announce it today - all the supplements are done by a Monday?

Assuming they're sitting on it just so it gets more lines in the papers that is.

[keep the faith]

Out of curiosity, who was the favourite when Hibs threw a curveball with Mowbray?

I suspect speculation was not at the levels it is now, but I cant remember much about the lead up to Mogga coming.

I can't remember his name, but it was a foreign chap who I said I'd heard being discussed by blazered Hibs officials in Greggs on Easter Road. :agree:

From that day, Greggs rumours were established.

One of my few achievements. :greengrin

alan kernaghan

Ah, I do remember that now. Cheers.

[El Gubbz]

alan kernaghan

[Hibbyradge]

I don't think he was favourite.

He was Willie Dunn's favourite, iirc, and maybe TQM's, but not with the bookies.

Not towards the end, anyway.

Was there any rumblings about Mowbray from those "in the know"?

[zlatan]

I'm sure it was in The Herald that Kernaghan was set to be announced the day Mowbray got the job.

I don't even think he had been quoted by bookies, or on here, when he got the job.

[Hibbyradge]

Was there any rumblings about Mowbray from those "in the know"?

Not even a whisper.

Folk on here professed to being "totally underwhelmed" by his appointment and Rod Petrie was accused of having gone for "The Cheap Option".

[Hibbyradge]

i think someone came up with Mowbreys name about 3 hours
before his appointment, cant remember who it was though:confused:

[Wheat Hound]

And the cries will, rightfully, be the same should we end up with Stark, Tangoman, Fenlon et al.

[Hibbyradge]

Dave
i think someone came up with Mowbreys name about 3 hours

Maybe, Terry, but I don't remember that.

Journalists say that everyone in the press conference were utterly surprised when Mowbray walked out.

One hack had to run out to stop their paper running a spread that someone else (can't remember who) had got it.

I'm pretty sure PC Stamp was there and will confirm all this.

[Hibbyradge]

And the cries will, rightfully, be the same should we end up with Stark, Tangoman, Fenlon et al.

Why "rightfully"?

Personally, I'll be delighted if Stark gets the job and Fenlon intrigues me.

Tangoman isn't in the frame.

[Hibs7]

The big issue here is that Petrie cannot afford to get this wrong again, the risk is too great, first division looms, he needs to cough up some decent money for a good manager even on £5000 a week that only needs 1000 extra supporters at the home games to cover it, If a good manager gets this team playing well then the increase in crowds will more than pay for the guy.

[stokesmessiah]

Well i am guessing if anything was going to happen today i.e a press conference we would of heard about it by now???

[khib70]

Why "rightfully"?

Personally, I'll be delighted if Stark gets the job and Fenlon intrigues me.

Tangoman isn't in the frame.
:agree:Well, agree with 2/3 of this.

Someone whose whole career has been spent in a league somewhere on a par with the Blue Square Premier doesn't really intrigue me, though.

Stark - definitely, with or without Clarke.

[TonyStokeprano]

Steve Clarke is due back in Edinburgh on monday. I know where he is staying and he checks back in on monday.

Is he back yet? or are the rumours true that the clarke deal is dead.....

[Wheat Hound]

Why "rightfully"?

Tangoman isn't in the frame.

While I think Stark would be a good assistant or coach, I think his fairly poor to average previous experience as a manager at st j, morton and queens park doesn't bode well and, yes, he would be a cheap option. Fenlon would certainly be cheap though at least has some potential. I think RP has to really be a bit more ambitious with this appointment, preferably giving Clarke a chance.

Dundee Utd pulled out of a deal for Fenlon because they couldn't agree compensation, so obviously not that cheap.

[bingo70]

Well i am guessing if anything was going to happen today i.e a press conference we would of heard about it by now???

i'm about 99% certain he won't be announced today.

the past few appointments the club gave the evening news the heads up that they'll have news but thats not happened today

What if Clarke didn't interview well?

Or doesn't fancy the player budget?

What if someone else, blew them away with his ideas and ambition?

It's far too easy to scream "cheap option" etc when we actually haven't a clue about the factors which led to a decision to appoint any given manager.

Edit: Re Stark. Did you see the way the under 21's played last week. I'd buy that for a dollar.

[GreenPJ]

Is he back yet? or are the rumours true that the clarke deal is dead.....

What rumours are there suggesting the deal is dead (or alive) for that matter?

[Liberal Hibby]

Don't have time to wade through 28+ pages of rumours and have not kept up to date with the latest rumours/'inside info'.

Can anyone give me a one paragraph summary of where we are and when we are likely to have an announcement?

Thanks in anticipation.

:agree:

another thing that gets me when folk moan about the cheap option is that it's not petrie thats paying him, it's the club and we're already losing money hand over fist
we can't afford anything other than a 'cheap option'.

I know that if he's a success that'll pay for him, however, thats a gamble and is that not what Dundee are getting absolutely slated for?!

[TonyStokeprano]

What rumours are there suggesting the deal is dead (or alive) for that matter?

Someone posted on here that they had a verbal agreement and petrie went back and told clarke the wage on offer was for him and an assistant, clarke seemingly told him to bolt.

Just noticed this on the BBC gossip site(I know :confused:) But was wondering what your reaction is if this news is correct?
Hibernian have made official approaches to find out how much it would cost in compensation should they appoint Bohemians' Pat Fenlon or Shamrock Rovers' Michael O'Neill as their new manager. (Daily Express)

Not sure I would be happy with this considering the calibre we have already been linked with,but as I say,it was just on the gossip site

[Beefster]

Dave
i think someone came up with Mowbreys name about 3 hours
before his appointment, cant remember who it was though:confused:

I heard from a relative of an ex-chairman about 30 minutes before Mowbray was announced that it was either Mowbray or Andreas Brehmer but there was definitely nothing on the public forums on here or the Bounce as I recall checking to see if anyone claiming to have 'contacts' had come up with it.

I'd wait till the end of the season then throw my season ticket onto the pitch in protest then set fire to petries car :agree:

Seriously though, they wouldn't excite me and it wouldn't be what i'd go for but they're both doing good jobs where they are so might be alright.

I think it's a lot of pish though, i don't think we're after either of them.

My brother-in-law heard form a mate who was a mate of Mowbray's 1st wife's brother* that he was getting the job. He told me on the Saturday or Sunday but I couldn't get a bet on it.

*That's genuine BTW.

[bingo70]

billy stark and john park will be new management team :confused:

I've no idea what John Park is like as a coach but he's just been Celtics chief scout so hopefully he'll have a decent amount of contacts, Billy stark might actually be a decent shout as manager, he could be the older head the clubs been crying out for because we've been an absolute shambles the last few years.

[euro Hibby]

Big Tony would be a safe bet in that you know what you are getting for your shilling and he would hit the ground running. Mind you , if I was going to manage Hibs, I would want to see what the players are like and our lot are defo worse that they were under his last reign !

If its the same John Park I am thinking of,he has been at Dundee Utd and also Hibs,and was credited for coaching the youngsters during both clubs better years,im sure he was with us at time of mcleish and mowbray,and they could not speak higher of the guy if i recall

aye, it's the same guy and i know he's been given credit for the young guys coming through, not sure if he's ever coached anyonr older than about 17 years old though.

there's also a lot of people that think it wasn't him that brought through those young players and he was just the file carrier between the youth teams and the manager but i've no idea if thats the case or not

This from someone else on here should keep you up to date:

Manager will be announced on Monday, but don’t know who it is, source Lawrie Reilly, via posters mum.

Chick Young has confirmed Hibs have spoken to Clarke and Stark, source….probably the main board.

Clarke and Stark is a done deal and will be announced on Monday (ties in with Reilly’s prediction), source from a young player in the squad.

Clarke has walked away, source unknown, decent but is not always 100% correct.

Clarke is booked into a Hotel for Monday, source, poster on the main board, backed up by PM poster.

No chance of Hibs appointing Clarke, source one non playing Hibs employee.

Scala now back in the running, source third party, from one of the keepers.

Clarke will get his second interview this weekend, he is in town

Anyone who rhymes with Park or Stark or Clarke said to be in the running

Pat Fenlon and Colin Calderwood also quoted.

Basically no-one knows anything. Other than a few posters who have about 7 previous posts coming on and telling us what they heard in a :taxi: or got on a text. Almost certainly Yams on the wind-up.

[Cropley10]

Big Tony would be a safe bet in that you know what you are getting for your shilling and he would hit the ground running. Mind you , if I was going to manage Hibs, I would want to see what the players are like and our lot are defo worse that they were under his last reign !

Big Tony took a Celtc team to St Midden and got beat 4-0. We've got to move on - he wouldn't have anywhere near the quality of player available to him this time round IMO.

[Green_one]

For me its going to be disappointing if we do not get Clarke and a decent deputy.

If we are still in the hunt for Clarke I have to believe they will agree the deal before Saturday - say by Wednesday? If it takes much longer then they must be looking elsewhere. I am just trying to take a punt at the timetable. Clarke comes back today, final negociations, tell press contacts that a decision is made - then a press conference. If Clarke knocks them back, which is possible, then who knows what the date will be.

[ozwoody]

aye, it's the same guy and i know he's been given credit for the young guys coming through, not sure if he's ever coached anyonr older than about 17 years old though.

there's also a lot of people that think it wasn't him that brought through those young players and he was just the file carrier between the youth teams and the manager but i've no idea if thats the case or not

Tad harsh I think,I know when he was at Dundee Utd he stole a lot of guys from under hibs and hearts radars when the boys were with tynie bc or hutchie.And it was a coup for hibs to get him as he had the contacts and he got the youngsters to Easter Road.Then he left and the conveyer belt of stars stopped coming to us and went to celtic.As you say,he has not coached top side,but as a number 2,he can spot the talent to get them in door....imho

i think someone came up with Mowbreys name about 3 hours
before his appointment, cant remember who it was though:confused:

i got a call from my mate fae the weedge who's mates with willie mcstay and he told me TM was going to be our manager i pmsl at him and told him he was an erse:greengrin:greengrin

[Cropley10]

For me its going to be disappointing if we do not get Clarke and a decent deputy.

If we are still in the hunt for Clarke I have to believe they will agree the deal before Saturday - say by Wednesday? If it takes much longer then they must be looking elsewhere. I am just trying to take a punt at the timetable. Clarke comes back today, final negociations, tell press contacts that a decision is made - then a press conference. If Clarke knocks them back, which is possible, then who knows what the date will be.

No. Body. Knows. Anything.:greengrin

This from someone else on here should keep you up to date:

Manager will be announced on Monday, but don’t know who it is, source Lawrie Reilly, via posters mum.

Chick Young has confirmed Hibs have spoken to Clarke and Stark, source….probably the main board.

Clarke and Stark is a done deal and will be announced on Monday (ties in with Reilly’s prediction), source from a young player in the squad.

Clarke has walked away, source unknown, decent but is not always 100% correct.

Clarke is booked into a Hotel for Monday, source, poster on the main board, backed up by PM poster.

No chance of Hibs appointing Clarke, source one non playing Hibs employee.

Scala now back in the running, source third party, from one of the keepers.

Clarke will get his second interview this weekend, he is in town

Anyone who rhymes with Park or Stark or Clarke said to be in the running

Pat Fenlon and Colin Calderwood also quoted.

Basically no-one knows anything. Other than a few posters who have about 7 previous posts coming on and telling us what they heard in a :taxi: or got on a text. Almost certainly Yams on the wind-up.


Good summary.

My brother-in-law heard form a mate who was a mate of Mowbray's 1st wife's brother* that he was getting the job. He told me on the Saturday or Sunday but I couldn't get a bet on it.

*That's genuine BTW.

Just noticed this on the BBC gossip site(I know :confused:) But was wondering what your reaction is if this news is correct?
Hibernian have made official approaches to find out how much it would cost in compensation should they appoint Bohemians' Pat Fenlon or Shamrock Rovers' Michael O'Neill as their new manager. (Daily Express)

Not sure I would be happy with this considering the calibre we have already been linked with,but as I say,it was just on the gossip site


Has to be Rod throwing in a red herring to get better odds on Clarke :wink:

Don't worry, the more names you post up, the more likely it will be that you were right and then five years from now someone will say 'I told you about xyz before it was announced' . They just won't tell you that it was their sixth guess at who the new guy was going to be.

I still think it's Clarke or Stark or Park or Penney or Fenlon or O'Neill or Calderwood or Ince or Rainer Bonhof.

Just been told that clarke may still be coming but stark will be top man.

Clarke not so long ago was the special ones assistant at Chelski and then with Zola at West Ham, so there is no way on gods green earth he would be willing to settle for being Billy Starks assistant at Hibs!
Clarke has already stated he wants to take the plunge and be a manager in his own right!

I really hope there is still a possibility of Clarke & Stark combo though.:pray:

[Speedway]

Pish.

he's got no chance of getting it.

[Sergey]

Pish.

What price is he?

[Hibbyradge]

I think Billy Stark would be a good choice.

I was very impressed with the way his team played last Monday against a much bigger and stronger Iceland and he's clearly good at working with young players, which is exactly what a club like Hibs needs.

Bizarrely, although we know nothing at all about Steve Clarke's ability or football philosophy or vision for the future, most folk want him to get the job.

Inexplicable, really.

[Speedway]

If someone starts a thread with the headline 'It's Pish' I'd believe them.

Interesting that there is one candidate that's been interviewed and seems to have slipped under the radar altogether.

[Rolo]

According to the BBC, the board have interviewed Colin Calderwood today!!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hibernian/9102714.stm

Please no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

although according to wiki he has a win ratio of 44% as a manager which is better than anyone else in the SPL outwith the axis of evil.

thoughts?

[James70]

Has a reputation for negative football according to Forest fans, just what we need to put bums on seats!

The initial requirements of most Hibs fans before any names got banded about were someone who did not have an existing association with the club, someone who was experienced, someone who wasn't Jimmy Calderwood.

He ticks the boxes on all counts.

[Rolo]

That was my first thought as well

can't believe RP is even giving him the time of day tbh

[Spike Mandela]

Hibs approach Newcastle to speak to calderwood

Colin Calderwood that is! :bitchy:

No thanks! has done nowt in management in England and was a disaster at Nottingham Forest

[SouthMoroccoStu]

:tsk tsk:Not another name to re-surface

[At The Edge]

This to me sounds like either Hibs first choice(s) have told them to bolt over whatever and now their going for Calderwood, as 2 weeks to approach somebody is a mighty long time if hes your first choice?

Wonder if Tangoman got a slight chubby as he saw 'Hibs move in for Calderwood', then lost it as he realised it wasn't him:greengrin

[Cropley10]

Stark was very poor as manager of St Johnstone.

[BigKev]

I've a friend who supports Forest who despises Calderwood - rates him the most negative manager he's seen at the City Ground since he started following them 20 years ago.

He rates Paul Hart higher which isn't much of a compliment!

[Purehibee_MYB]

Why Clarke?

He's clearly worked well with players at Chelsea and West Ham... The compensation West Ham were willing to pay shows how highly he is viewed in the coaching world. I think he is ready to step up to be in the hot seat.


and I have a bet on him at 12/1

It was Donald Park that brought these players to the club.

[Lincoln Green]

This guy was hopeless at Forest he's just an up in the air merchant. :grr:

There's no way his style of football would fit in at Hibs this would be a really bad choice. Considering all the names being touted this choice is grim.

:confused:

[SteveHFC]

I would rather have him than Stark

[Hibbyradge]

Cos he worked with Mourinho :dunno: Zola :dunno: Gullit :dunno:?

And must have a lot of contact? :dunno:

I'm aware of his previous roles, but they don't tell us anything.

We don't know if he has any ability to set up a team, change tactics during a game, spot a player, deal with conflict, motivate youngsters or anything.

We don't know if he likes wingers or if he will do a Levein and play without strikers or if he likes to see the ball passed through the midfield or hoofed up at every opportunity.

I guess he must have a list of contacts, though.

I also guess that applies to everyone.

I was excited about him being appointed - I put money on him getting the gig way before he was anywhere near favourite - probably still am, but the more I think about it logically, the more I have doubts.

As a newcastle fan, calderwood is very highly thought of at St James' and is very popular with the players.

I would imagine they would want a fair bit of compensation though

I know there's all the stuff about giving somebody a chance and getting behind the new guy, but compared to Steve Clarke, Colin Calderwood is a dull, uninspired and ultimately hugely disappointing appointment. So let's not fanny about by trying to put a brave face on it.

It smacks of an unimaginative holding job, he'll clear out some players and bring in some others, but its hard to see much in way of progress taking place under his eighteen month tenure. At least the new east is high so the necks won't get as strained watching the hoofball.

Would be delighted to be proven wrong, but as they say, watch this space.

If it is COLIN Calderwood, I am shocked and VERY disappointed. The other Calderwood has a much better record in management. Colin Calderwood strikes me as a bit of a thicky, and we've already had one of them in charge very recently. But insults aside, he did not do a good job at Notts Forest, he was unpopular there, so why are we interested in him?

Petrie should not have been allowed to make an other appointment.
