Before anyone starts Im suggesting that the Board sack Mr Calderwood tomorrow if we dont win. I am somewhat amazed at the support he has on this site. Ok he has rebuilt the team he inherited from Yogi but as yogi himself stated the rebuilding process would have taken time. In my opinion the board overeacted to some so called Hibs fans calling for yogi,s head. Mr calderwood has done nothing in my opinion that has bettered the side when he took over from yogi I belive we were eighth Mr calderwood guided us to tenth. The facts and figures speak for themselves CCs results have been shocking add to that the brand of football we are playing is very very poor. At the end of last season we drew with St. Mirren and lost to every other bottom six team. He has had plenty of time to work with the vast majority of the squad and although bringing in his own players may pacify some of our support the only place we are heading is the First Division unless the board act now. I know many supporters will talk about changing Managers frequently but if something is not working you dont just ignore it. I have frequently stated my opinion of whom should be appointed and I think Rod should be looking at Gordon Strachan, he is a Hibs Man and would not take any nonsense. As we are one of the Clubs in the SPL with lesser debts than many others I feel the board should spend a reasonable amount of money to get some good solid hard working journeymen into the side who can compliment our up and coming young players. We can all see what is required of our current side, a Comanding centre Half who takes no prisoners, a couple of good full backs, two ball winners in the midfield who can take control and provide good ball to our front men and finally a solid forward who will rough up other defences. For Years as a team we have been far too soft and powder Puff its time this club and the people who represent us in the board room invest the capital to make us a force once again in Scottish and hopefully european football. Invest and we will once again see ER full to capacity. I for one am sick to death of seeing our once great team being made a laughing stock. :flag:

You are typical of some of the narrow minded so called Hibees if anyone says anything at all against the club you think they are Yams. As I said I dont care what other people say I have followed Hibs for 50 years and Im sick to death watching players who cant even control a ball. I agree Hearts are a laughing stock but we are heading that way as well. we should all be singing of the same hymn sheet. Surely its not wrong to want the best for our team. I despair at comments such as yours and Im of the opinion as your name says that you must be boozy if your enjoying watching us recently. I for one want to watch attacking football as I did in the 70s with turnbulls tornadoes.

I don't care if you're hertz or Hibs fan - this is nonsense. There's very little chance that a team of new players & youngsters is going to gel after 4 games - the recent signings will barely be match fit!

The suggestion that this game is some kind of final straw for CC is rediculous - the time to judge his team / progress is end of 1st quarter at earliest & possibly even end of 2nd quarter.

Fed up reading this nonsense after every setback - give the guy a break until the team's properly up & running ffs!

That is a matter of opinion. I have said before I have Never saw a worse Hibs team. I can only hope things improve but I genuinely dont see that with CC to me he is worse than useless. I would donate some of my wages for his bus fair to birmingham or Forest or wherever he wants to be because the truth is we all know he dosn,t want to be at ER.

I didnt say that what I said was get the right man in charge my opinion Strachan if he would come to us Get some hard players into the squad, journeymen willing to battle for the cause and they will pass their experience to our young players. Everyone knows managers and new squads need time to gel. In my opinion CC has had more than enough time. If I saw any kind of improvement then I woudnt be on here moaning but in my opinion Nothing has changed since he took over as manager.

Stats will show how crap we were post split
But there CC demoed who should get punted rather than leaving it to preseason
It cost the remaining games but didn't encroach into this season so we can truly rebuild.
It's an evolution - fair enough if folks choose not to put their faith in CC until some consistent stustained decent results. I choose to support as long as hes here.

Panic Panic Panic


Hear we go again a few bad results and sack the manager. Yes we are all entitled to our opinions and i am as unhappy as any other disgruntled Hibs supporter at this time. The facts are that there is something wrong at ER and I am not privy to this but we have to look at the overall situation. I heard on the radio at todays warm down Hibs players were laughing and jokingthis is clearly unacceptable. Lets drop the majority of the so called first team and replace then with our youth team at least we will see some effort from them. If the problem is found to be Yogi then yes look for an alternative Manager.Some supporters are far to quick to call for managers heads Mixu, Collins and now Yogi. Give him at least the whole of next season to see how we stand. Yogi is adament that he knows what is wrong give him the opportunity to prove himself. A new manager is not the answer at this time if he has a run of poor results you will want him out as well. I am not happy with recent results far from it but there is a lack of confidence at this time and calling for more change is very unsettling.:grr:

And how many games has he been in charge with the team of players he brought to the Club ? For a start you can write off last season in its entirety, yes he signed 6 players during the Jan window, but that was just a start and they were brought in to do a job - keep us in the SPL - they succeeded. CC has , as we all know has now suplemented the squad but they still haven't played a full 90 min competitive football together, [ hopefully they all will start v St Mirren]. Far too early to be coming out with comments like op. If , and IMO it's a BIG IF, we are still not performing as a team and getting results by the next transfer window, then thats the time to worry. Calm down, don't panic [yet], and see what the next 10 - 12 games are like.

God Petrie
20-08-2011, 01:28 AM
Dunno why the OP is getting a slating - he's totally right but he's missed the bigger picture

I would have jumped at the chance of £300k for CC but RP turned it down. CC is simply a symptom of the mismanagement of the football side of the club. If things continue as they are, then something will happen before the AGM. RP's terrified of a slating at the AGM in front of Farmer.

It's time for RP/TF to sell the club to someone with more of an active interest in the fortunes of the actual team.

I'd agree with most of that, though I think he needs to be given past Christmas unless we are in serious trouble. I've backed CC since day one and I still do think that he will sort us out, though that opinion is getting harder and harder to justify as the weeks go by at the moment.

If the board think that he's the right man, they need to be prepared to ride out this season as well and stick with him (unless he was to walk). I think the fact that Mixu, Yogi, and JC all 'failed' at Easter Road indicates that there are issues at the club that run deeper than taking a broom to the team will cure.

CC needs to build a culture at Hibs with high standards and high expectations, that doesn't happen overnight in most cases, and needs time to bear fruit.

The thread is probably ill timed but i don`t see it as an outrageous opinion, there is a fair bit of truth in what he is saying, i would argue that the latest three signings should be given the opportunity to enhance Calderwoods credentials as the man who could takes us forward, how we perform at Tynecastle might give us aclue as to what the team is made of and where we are going.
No excuses we should be capable of a performance and a win today against St Mirren though a win or a loss will probably not change a great deal the opinions of the critics and the optimists.

Panic Panic Panic

Hear we go again a few bad results and sack the manager. Yes we are all entitled to our opinions and i am as unhappy as any other disgruntled Hibs supporter at this time. The facts are that there is something wrong at ER and I am not privy to this but we have to look at the overall situation.

Some supporters are far to quick to call for managers heads Mixu, Collins [B]and now Yogi. Give him at least the whole of next season to see how we stand. Yogi is adament that he knows what is wrong give him the opportunity to prove himself. A new manager is not the answer at this time if he has a run of poor results you will want him out as well. I am not happy with recent results far from it but there is a lack of confidence at this time and calling for more change is very unsettling.:grr:

Your post of 10th April 2010 :bye:

So comparing those two posts 16 months apart, this for you is actually more about the cult of Yogi than the merits of CC. You would have resented anyone who came in as successor to your idol, John Hughes.

The arguments about CC's appalling record are irrefutable. The problem is that you and others undermine these points by constantly harking back to Yogi as if somehow the club got rid of another Jose Mourinho.

And you blame the fans for Yogi's departure when it is quite clear now that RP was not impressed with the man's record at the helm, for a number of reasons.

I apologise to anyone if I have offended them with my post but I would also like to say it is completely out of order to call me a Yam or a Liar. I thought this site was about opinions and as long as I continue to log on I will state my opinion. There is nothing that I have noted that is lies or wrong. If we are true Hibs fans open your eyes and look at the state of the current side. CC has brought in new players and hopefully they will improve the side the difficulty I have personally is he dosen,t want to be here. I have heard that the players are backing him, of course they will nobody in their right mind would say anything wrong about him as they woudnt be picked. My post is only my opinion and represents my feelings for the Club that I have followed and supported for 50 years and the ONLY team that I will ever Love. far to many people on this site have a go at anyone who does not agree with their opinions. The worst slur is the mindless people who call me a Yam. :confused:

It is nothing to do with Yogi You are completely wrong. Its all about the current Management. I would be more than happy to give CC my support if I thought he merited it. The Man has shown little commitment to our club and for an ex scottish internationalist he lacks tacticle awareness. he even has a problem expressing his views on how to solve the teams problems when talking to the media. If he finds difficulties getting his views over to the media how on earth can he get the important points over to the players. He is not the Man for us Im sorry. Only My Opinion.:confused:

I'd agree with most of that, though I think he needs to be given past Christmas unless we are in serious trouble. I've backed CC since day one and I still do think that he will sort us out, though that opinion is getting harder and harder to justify as the weeks go by at the moment.

If the board think that he's the right man, they need to be prepared to ride out this season as well and stick with him (unless he was to walk). I think the fact that Mixu, Yogi, and JC all 'failed' at Easter Road indicates that there are issues at the club that run deeper than taking a broom to the team will cure.

CC needs to build a culture at Hibs with high standards and high expectations, that doesn't happen overnight in most cases, and needs time to bear fruit.

What do you think these "issues" are?

Before anyone starts Im suggesting that the Board sack Mr Calderwood tomorrow if we dont win. I am somewhat amazed at the support he has on this site. Ok he has rebuilt the team he inherited from Yogi but as yogi himself stated the rebuilding process would have taken time. In my opinion the board overeacted to some so called Hibs fans calling for yogi,s head. Mr calderwood has done nothing in my opinion that has bettered the side when he took over from yogi I belive we were eighth Mr calderwood guided us to tenth. The facts and figures speak for themselves CCs results have been shocking add to that the brand of football we are playing is very very poor. At the end of last season we drew with St. Mirren and lost to every other bottom six team. He has had plenty of time to work with the vast majority of the squad and although bringing in his own players may pacify some of our support the only place we are heading is the First Division unless the board act now. I know many supporters will talk about changing Managers frequently but if something is not working you dont just ignore it. I have frequently stated my opinion of whom should be appointed and I think Rod should be looking at Gordon Strachan, he is a Hibs Man and would not take any nonsense. As we are one of the Clubs in the SPL with lesser debts than many others I feel the board should spend a reasonable amount of money to get some good solid hard working journeymen into the side who can compliment our up and coming young players. We can all see what is required of our current side, a Comanding centre Half who takes no prisoners, a couple of good full backs, two ball winners in the midfield who can take control and provide good ball to our front men and finally a solid forward who will rough up other defences. For Years as a team we have been far too soft and powder Puff its time this club and the people who represent us in the board room invest the capital to make us a force once again in Scottish and hopefully european football. Invest and we will once again see ER full to capacity. I for one am sick to death of seeing our once great team being made a laughing stock. :flag:


Could you please answer why you think having a HIBS MAN in charge would be better?

John Hughes, Frank Sauzee, John Blackly, Mixu, etc etc are all so called Hibs Men but have failed big time managing Hibs. The only man that springs to mind of being a very good manager was Eddie Turnbull....you getting the picture here. Having a HIBS MAN in charge does nothing!

Alex McLeish, Tony Mowbray who are non Hibs men achieved a high win % than any of the afore so called Hibs Men.

Forget your Hibs men, IMO Hibs have the right man in charge for the moment!

I don't care if you're hertz or Hibs fan - this is nonsense. There's very little chance that a team of new players & youngsters is going to gel after 4 games - the recent signings will barely be match fit!The suggestion that this game is some kind of final straw for CC is rediculous - the time to judge his team / progress is end of 1st quarter at earliest & possibly even end of 2nd quarter.Fed up reading this nonsense after every setback - give the guy a break until the team's properly up & running ffs!

Dunno why the OP is getting a slating - he's totally right but he's missed the bigger picture


I would have jumped at the chance of £300k for CC but RP turned it down. CC is simply a symptom of the mismanagement of the football side of the club. If things continue as they are, then something will happen before the AGM. RP's terrified of a slating at the AGM in front of Farmer.

It's time for RP/TF to sell the club to someone with more of an active interest in the fortunes of the actual team.

I suspect the guys either side of them, and those wide in the middle, have to stop St.Mirren getting down the sides but the CH's have to handle Thomson and not be bullied by him. O'Hanlon's experience would help but I suspect if he plays the first thing Thomson will do is stand on his toes. I would. Stephens has the equipment to see him off but maybe lacks the experience. Lets hope not. I would play Murray at CH today.

The paisley saints have started well and have looked decent so far.

You are typical of some of the narrow minded so called Hibees if anyone says anything at all against the club you think they are Yams. As I said I dont care what other people say I have followed Hibs for 50 years and Im sick to death watching players who cant even control a ball. I agree Hearts are a laughing stock but we are heading that way as well. we should all be singing of the same hymn sheet. Surely its not wrong to want the best for our team. I despair at comments such as yours and Im of the opinion as your name says that you must be boozy if your enjoying watching us recently. I for one want to watch attacking football as I did in the 70s with turnbulls tornadoes.

There's no point mate. You will never win against the "clique" on this board. i know your a hibee and your only expressing your opinion and to be honest i pretty much agree with you. If CC can't put out a team to beat St Mirren then there's something wrong. I imagine most on this board will be wanting CC out again calling him all the names under the sun. They change there mind more than the Scottish weather, One of the reasons I hardly post here anymore. Good luck having a different opinion to the "private members" on this board though mate.

I have never been afraid to express my opinion regarding the state of our club and have been very outspoken against some of the Muppets we have had as managers- Yogi and mixup to name two.

Wellbankhibby keep expressing your opinion and don’t let the happy clappers tells you that better times are just around the corner because they are only kidding themselves.
Falling attendances tell the true story of our club with only a couple of hundred fans turned up at Killie last week.

We are a club on the decline and getting rid of another hopeless manager will only paper over the cracks.

A lot of fans have lost the passion they once had for Hibs and that has been evident over the last few years with the asset stripping of our best players and replacing them with duds.

The product on the field is poor and fans are simply not buying it, next week’s game should be a great build up with fans getting in to frenzy by kick off time but clearly the majority fear the worst and they should because the last 2 games have been against teams that will struggle to make the top 6 this season and they have both beaten us.

I'm not saying you're a "Yam", you're entitled to your opinion and I believe there's more than enough justification for Hibs fans to be a tad worried about us at the moment, but in the same token we'll arrest this slide, of that I have no doubt.

As I posted yesterday, I have a lot more questions than answers at present in respect of where we are at present but too many on here are passing off supposition as fact and presenting it with a transparent agenda.

"It's clear CC doesn't want to be here" to throw one comment out..........um, no it's not. It's not clear at all to be honest. In fact it's the opposite.

For what my opinion is worth, CC is here, the board want him to be here and so do the players. We have no option other than to support him and the players and back them 100%. Dedication and loyalty work both ways I feel and whilst the scales have been tipped heavily recently, we need to follow the board's unswerving commitment to CC and give him and the players the support they require.

Our next league win will be? Hearts? The week after? The week after that?

Something is seriously wrong with Hibs and Calderwood just seems to be compounding this instead of sorting it out. I still live in hope, but it's becoming clearer with every passing week that he just ain't got it.

with all the effort RP and others on the board made to keep CC here as manager, i can't see them giving him the bullet so soon, i think CC has until xmas/jan to turn it around, of course by then it might be too late, thats the worry for me.

T'aint necessarily so - the last two results have been pish poor without a shadow of a doubt. If (heaven forfend!!!) they are followed by an early exit from the League Cup at the hands of Berwick and an embarassing drubbing at Swiney then I could see that being the end of the road for CC.
Not that I am predicting that mind you - I'm expecting Berwick to be dispatched with aplomb and hoping against hope that the resulting burst of confidence will see us emerge from the derby with a point.
If that were to be the case it could be start of a turnaround in fortunes for Calderwood - as things stand he's walking a tightrope with no safety net between him and disaster.

My feelings exactly, Bob.

Hoping against hope, me - and not holding my breath, either.
