[hibee_boy]

zola and clarke

[Judas Iscariot]

Colin Calderwood..

Defo

[Dr_Regal]

Here we go!!!!

This better be good. The end of the Bullcrap is upon us.

Please be Clarke

[McHibby]

I'm really excited :greengrin

Right, better get this dog out for a walk and be back in the hoose for quarter past five!

[Mikey]

So this wouldn't be a good time to schedule site maintenance then?? :greengrin

[bighairyfaeleith]

I think calderwood given how much his name is appearing around the place today.

Not unhappy at his appointment:agree:

[aberhibsfc]

Yep, just heard same from a journo.

Petrie has played a blinder with the guessing game, plenty speculation but no-one has a clue who it's going to be.

I hope it is Clarke, seems to have a reputation for developing young players, that coupled with an inside knowledge of young English talent.

Just hope whoever it is get some backing in the Jan window, also that he can re-sign players e.g. Riordan.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Will be good to have the waiting over, and the new man, whoever he is should get our full support.

[bod]

tango man ?

[bighairyfaeleith]

tango man ?

:greengrin no chance

[RickyS]

so is the news conference on bbc scotland 92-95fm?

[Ryan91]

tango man ?

It's Colin Calderwood who's name seems to be getting thrown around as the final choice for manager. So no it's not the tango man, if it was the tango man that was appointed, I would be giving up my season ticket

[ScottB]

Will this be online in any fashion?

Secondly, Calderwood was interviewed last time too? So he lost out to Hughes but is now getting it? Hmmm...

Can't say I'm as excited at this prospect as I would have been at Clarke and Stark together!

has proved himself further more after promotion with newcastle...
promoting three teams aint no easy ride :agree:

[essexhibee]

If its jimmy calderwood im getting a gun.

[bighairyfaeleith]

If its jimmy calderwood im getting a gun.

Gies a shot after you mate!!!

[Velma Dinkley]

I heard that it will be Paul Daley with Neil Barnes as assistant.

[Prawn Sandwich]

BBC Scotland reporting they "understand" it's Colin Calderwood.

[essexhibee]

Brian McCoughlin just been on over telephone to near enough confirm its Colin Calderwood. :yawn:

[SMAXXA]

has proved himself further more after promotion with newcastle...
promoting three teams back to back aint no easy ride :agree:

I just got an email from my mate who is a Scunthorpe fan and he said that Calderwood wasnt much liked at Forrest and he took 3 seasons to get thm promoted from league 1 which is a joke for a club that size, not to sure if his stats are correct tho taking his word for it.

A bit of a let down but hey he will get my full support should it be him

[Manxhibs]

Though it's been frustrating that we have had no concrete knowledge of who the manager will be, I am very impressed at how well the board have kept things out of the media. Please be Clarke

[allezsauzee]

Gies a shot after you mate!!!

to shoot tangoman with i hope !

[euro Hibby]

Its 6.40 here in Italy and we have already seen the press conference so we know who the new manager is !

[PeeJay]

Anyone heard if the Press Conference will be live on a radio station - BBC Scotland perhaps?

[ScottB]

If its jimmy calderwood im getting a gun.

If it's Jimmy Calderwood the Tasche's Tasche will be adorning the wall above my fireplace by 17:25

[PeeJay]

Strachan's left Middelsborough it seems - BBC! Hope it's not him!

[Gus Fring]

It's 100% Colin Calderwood. Just heard from someone who works at ER

[Diclonius]

Strachan'S left Middeslborugh it seems - BBC! Hope it's not him!

I'd take Strachan over Calderwood. Least he's had a degree of success.

[PeeJay]

BBC suggesting it's Calderwood http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/h/hibernian/9102714.stm

[RickyS]

I'd take Strachan over Calderwood. Least he's had a degree of success.

SKY SPORTS CONFIRMED IT IS CALDERWOOD. how they do that before the conference I don't know:confused:

[Gatecrasher]

SSN saying he IS manager

[HibbyAndy]

SSN Confirm its Colin Calderwood.

[aberhibsfc]

Oh well............:rolleyes:

[Zondervan]

Anyone heard if the Press Conference will be live on a radio station - BBC Scotland perhaps?

I will be trying here at 5.15...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_scotland

[Scorrie]

Deffo Colin Calderwood. Sky sports just said and due to be formally announced at 5.15

[Diclonius]

To repeat what I said on the PM board - SO many proven names reportedly after the job and they go with a guy that got a couple lower division clubs promoted this one time?

Not on. Not on at all. :bitchy:

[thebakerboy]

Sky Sports announced Colin Calderwood resigned at Newcastle and to be announced as Hibs manager at 5.15

[stokesmessiah]

Oh well............:rolleyes:

You seem deflated?

[PeeJay]

I will be trying here at 5.15...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_scotland

Thanks I'll give it a go! Not sure if *.net will be around much longer??

[bigwheel]

SKY SPORTS CONFIRMED IT IS CALDERWOOD. how they do that before the conference I don't know:confused:

Because they will have press release that has a time release on it.....so they are going early with a wee flyer. :greengrin

[Lofarl]

This is one of these appointments that you know will not work out. You saw it with blobby and you will see it with Calderwood.

Christ I'd rather have the Tangoman.

[emmjayfox]

What an anti climax thats been. For some reason im a bit dissapointed, i was hoping for Clarke.

[Purehibee_MYB]

Would much rather it was Clarke!!

But will back Calderwood if it is

[225-EasterRd]

wikipedia saying its colin calderwood

[Chuck Rhoades]

Calderwood confirmed 5minutes early.

[Sir David Gray]

wikipedia saying its colin calderwood

It probably will be him but you do know that ANYONE could put that up on Wikipedia!? :wink:

[RickyS]

Because they will have press release that has a time release on it.....so they are going early with a wee flyer. :greengrin

does not look like its going to be live then

[Chuck Rhoades]

Newcastle confirm Calderwoods exit.

[Greenblood70]

Bit disappointed its not Clarke tbh, I know a Forest fan who was less than complimentary about Calderwood but I'll put that to one side, its a clean slate and everyone needs to get behind him.

[ionahibby]

Can't say im thrilled tbh and it stinks of cheapness from petrie if it is colin calderwood but i suppose he deserves a chance to show if he is capable!

Very much so, we've heard chat about Clarke, Stark, Brito, Le Guen etc etc etc a long with various other guys with Premership experience, all of them sounding like a different, better sort of candidate than we have had in years.

And then at the end of it all we get a guy who was beaten to the job by Yogi last time. Had we not heard of the others I might have been happy, had this not gone on for so long that it seems pretty likely that we just missed out on one of the aforemention targets I might be happy.

Can't say I'm thrilled by this appointment, nor is it one that will likely have people pouring back through the turnstiles, but we shall see.

[degenerated]

It probably will be him but you do know that ANYONE could put that up on Wikipedia!? :wink:

but not anyone can put it on the official site and its been their for a few minutes now :wink:

I agree with you but the key word there is 'reportedly' unless you know for sure there were big names in then how can you say?

[euro Hibby]

if true left a good job at newcastle to come to Hibs............would you have ! ?

[Springbank]

have to agree.

Petrie's biggest gamble yet.

7000 crowds by Feb if we get hoofball, it really is time for all SPL teams to start entertaining the fans with good quality football.

Calderwood has much to prove in that respect

[erin go hibee]

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/20101018/colin-calderwood-appointed-manager_2262950_2188620 its official! colin calderwood is the man, lets all get behind him now!

That's a classic !!

Ta muchly.

[GreenPJ]

He has no previous association to the club
He has experience
He is unlikely to attract the attention of the old firm so we may have a 3/4 year stable period
He has spent most of his career down south and so should have good contacts
He appears to be a disciplinarian
He is not Jimmy

If Clarkes name had never been mentioned this would have been viewed with more positive reaction I think.

[Chuck Rhoades]

Its him with RP.

Defo Colin

[HIBERNIAN 1875]

Colin Calderwood, just been confirmed by Rod. :agree:

[The_Todd]

From Wikipedia:


currently the manager of Italian club Hibernian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernian_F.C.).

Erm. Ok then.

Aye but that's like saying you were perfectly happy with your girlfriend till you found out Megan Fox was after you!

[lyonhibs]

"Colin has been in the dug out as a Manager in nearly 300 matches.
"He also has a wealth of experience as a player and as an Assistant Manager in the English Premier League.

"He is a winner, having won promotion with three different clubs.He is a leader with real drive and determination to succeed. This makes him an outstanding choice."





Doesn't sound too shabby. Let's just get behind him.

In what sense is appointing a premiership assistant manager the cheap option?

Surely a cheap option would have been someone that we wouldn't have had to pay compensation for?

he wasn't binned from newcastle and if he was binned by Northampton it was a bit strange that he then made the step up to the forest job :confused:

[Diclonius]

calderwood said he was contacted on friday and that it all moved very quickly,so was he second choice as a consequence of SC bumping us? :cool2:

Certainly looks like that.

[Lincoln Green]

Really disappointed with this appointment. This guy plays hoofball which will never be accepted by the Hibs faithful.

He was grim at Forest and they were so pleased to get shot of him. I know Northampton fans who were not sad to see the back of him as well.

:boo hoo:

I would say that those are six positive reasons to welcome the guy.

We didn't want a former player - CC isn't a former player.

We wanted someone who knows the game - I'd say he probably does. He's played at all levels, and been involved in coaching and managing for seven(?) years

He's on a 3-year contract with option to extend - so we can have a stable period if things go reasonably and we want to.

As you say - plenty knowledge of the game down south, and he's played and worked with a lot of very good players.

And hopefully he can instil a bit of discipline in the club.

But then, this is Hibs, and we're NEVER happy; we always want the thing we can't have.

I really think we need to get the Secret Police to do a purge of this board; the stink of Yam's getting to be a tad overpowering.

There's a few definate hibs fans that are being ridiculous drama queens as well to be fair so it's not all undercover jamboids

[Hibbyradge]

How deflating is that??
He was eventually binned by Forrest for being a dull and mundane manager.
Hope the story behind Clarke not getting it comes out :grr:

Mowbray was binned from Celtic. We loved him.

Calderwood - a mundane boring manager who has been binned from his last 2 jobs and made outrageous comments over Phil O'Donnells passing - arrogant and igorant man who will get no support from this Hibee

Outrageous?

No he didn't, he said that he thought a minute silence/tribute wasn't appropriate given that o'donnel played in Scotland and his team were playing in England. And it was something that should be done closer to home.

On that particular occasion I thing he was wrong but I agree that the football world has them too often.

Anyway shut up ya plum, Calderwood should be given the same opportunity as all our other managers were and I think he'll be a good appointment. He won't turn us into world beaters but he'll certainly steady the ship an clear out the deadwood. Something that yogi should have done and he may have still been here had he done it!

ggtth

[Mili Tant]

Certainly not a cheap option. I'll be very interested to see who his assistant is.

[Manxhibs]

In fairness Newcastle play some decent stuff and he must have had summit to do with how they play. Hopefully he has an eye for defenders to build a platform for our attack, which he will need to strengthen.

have to agree.

Petrie's biggest gamble yet.

7000 crowds by Feb if we get hoofball, it really is time for all SPL teams to start entertaining the fans with good quality football.

Calderwood has much to prove in that respect

weve had hoofball for about 8 months! 3/4 passes in defence then long and high towards nish.anybody who thiks we've played any actual football is :crazy:.:bitchy:
too many deluded flair fitba idealists who must have been sitting with a blindfold on for the last 30 years with a few exeptions.
Lets start with a manager who can at least make us resemble a team with some organisation/hunger before we worry about some mythical samba nonsense.give the guy a chance ffs.has clarke even been a manager in his own right ?
