I think Hibs have to avoid going for the obvious manager with any kind of tenuous link to Hibs in the past and have to use the recruitment process that brought in Mowbray from leftfield.
However having said all that what about Mowbray himself. He left the club on good terms with the board. He wanted to try his luck in the Premiership and who could blame him? Won plaudits for flair but didn't succed in keeping West Brom up.
Came to Celtic but never got the time to adopt changes required so left and is currently unemployed.
He knows the club, the SPL,we know we like the way his teams play and his team was the basis on which JC led us to win LC. After Celtic he will feel he has something to prove and the price will be right for Rod Petrie.
Only fly in the ointment could be the Middlesbrough job becoming available soon.
So Rod, avoid the obvious unless it is THE obvious!!:wink:
