Who's Next (If CC Goes)

[E10 Rifle]

Andy Watson is beginning to get mentioned down here. Wants to be his own man now.

[Sir David Gray]

I think that including managers that have moved of their own accord (i.e. been poached) is a bit unfair. Assuming CC goes that will two off the last five that you mention.

I don't think it's unfair at all.

John Collins-Yes he was the manager when we won the cup but I think it's fair to say that Tony Mowbray had more than a little input into the squad that won us the cup. Collins brought in some of the worst players that I have ever seen at Hibs and was also the subject of one of the most embarrassing episodes in the club's recent history. When the going got tough after our good start to the following season, he walked.

Mixu Paatelainen-Love the guy as an ex-player and as a person and given another chance he would probably do a lot better, given how well he did at Kilmarnock. However his time in charge can only be described as highly disappointing.

John Hughes-Great start but what followed was one of the worst spells in the club's entire history which continued into the first part of last season.

Colin Calderwood-Awful start, decent for four or five weeks and then an awful end. Continued with the worst run of results in the club's history.


If we don't count trophy winning managers as a success then we might as well give up. JC definitely had his flaws, but I can't believe how many people on this board act as a 5-1 League Cup Final win never happened.

I'm not acting as if the cup win didn't happen at all. I am grateful to Collins as he will always be remembered as the man in charge of Hibs the day that we lifted the League Cup in March '07.

However, as I've said above, I think it would be extremely unfair on Tony Mowbray to say that Collins had the biggest input on our cup win. Mowbray spent two years building Hibs up and assembling a squad that could compete for trophies. By the time we won the cup, Collins had only been there for four and a half months.

Yes I'm grateful for the cup win but when I mentioned that he wasn't a great success, I was looking at the bigger picture.

His signing record as Hibs manager was absolutely dreadful and it took us 3 years to get rid of all of the poor signings that he was responsible for. His record immediately after the cup win was awful and after an excellent start to the following season, things started to go wrong and shortly afterwards he handed in his resignation.

He also had questionable man management skills which may go some way in explaining why he's only managed one other team since leaving Hibs 3 and a half years ago and has been out of management work for the past 2 years.

As for Colin Calderwood, he may not be getting sacked by Rod Petrie, and he may be highly sought after by two clubs in England, but his record as Hibs manager has been abysmal and the way he has handled this situation over the past couple of weeks has been terrible.

I notice that Calderwood has made reference to the fact that being closer to his family may influence his decision to leave Hibs for a job in England. I seem to remember back in January contributing to a thread about this very subject. Someone posted a link to an interview Calderwood had given where he spoke about how he travels down to Northampton (where he still has his house) and then on to London (where his son and ex-wife stays) after every single match on a Saturday. I said back then that that situation was unsustainable and that he wouldn't last.

I hate to say I told anyone so, but it was inevitable that this would happen sooner rather than later and I believe it was negligence on the part of the Hibs board that they didn't identify this situation as being a serious problem when they interviewed him less than a year ago.

I fully stand by what I said earlier in my last post which is that I no longer have any confidence in the Hibs board to make the correct managerial appointment for the club and that since the hiring of Tony Mowbray, there have been a long list of appointments which I believe, for one reason or another, have been bad choices.

Assuming that Calderwood does leave in the foreseeable future, the new manager will be our NINTH appointment in TEN YEARS! That is just a ridiculous situation to be in.

It is unfair to list managerial appointments who left on their on accord for bigger and better things. We cannot blame the board for that happening. I'm not saying that we haven't had a silly turnover in managers but let's not pad the numbers with what were successful appointments who left us.

Top Portugese Coach Morias Boydio has recently left a very respected NorthWest club.

He is already in demand from other teams including one of the oldest teams in the world to be formed.

Already made his millions so money would not be an issue.:not worth

He's got no plan B, and last season was a poor one by anyone's standards. His best days are well behind him imo.

He is only 49 I think, still young for a coach.

I think his mature looks are deceiving.

Worth a punt and if it goes wrong who will people point the finger at?

[Hibs07p]

What about this guy?

49, well i never, has bombay bob given you this tip, if so might be worth a big punt on this? :wink: Morias Boydio might be looking more to asia for his next move, or even Australia, reckons he'd be invincible out there.

IF Bombay had given me this tip i would not post it he is useless.

Boydio was tipped for Dunfermline once, so obviously no no Hibs links.

Maybe he wanted to be closer to his family in Edinburgh...

:dunno:

[HKhibby]

totally agree with you all guys, i would let cc go in a minute!, i never liked his appointment in the first place, and i think he has brought nothing to the dressing room apart from dissent and disruption, yes we needed rid of certain players, but not all of them.
i think Riordan would have signed under different manager, and played for hibs at the same time as we are used to him playing!, although i think he can be lazy too!, but happy with Gary o back along with Sproule, O'Conner on form is formidable, but i still dont think cc is the man to manage hibs, and certainly has shown this to be true if all we read in the press is true, which probably the majority is!,
Yes i say if he goes and hopefully soon!, good choice would be either Butcher or Strachan, Strachan no contract to break, and ICT could be paid off with cc compensation!, but if it is going to happen make it soon before the new season starts!!!

Would he bring Kristas Boydio with him?

[DoonTheSlope]

What would be the reaction of the support if Hibernian announced Csaba the ex Hearts Manager as our new Manager?

I think the fans spokesperson would give a 25 minute response consisting mainly of eh's...

I thought he was well thought of here - at least during his first season!!

[blackpoolhibs]

Would he bring Kristas Boydio with him?

Jamienio Boydio would be intersted i think.

[darwenhibby]

Is he Hibs Class?:dunno:

Hope he's a centre half

I wonder if the Tache isn't lining up Gareth Evans as an option?:hmmm:

His record doesn't look that great so i'd be surprised if he got anywhere near the interview stage.
BBC radio Scotland news keep telling me Jimmy Calderwood defiantly interested.
