Ogs 20 & other random names

If I was the Hibs board I would be sounding out Ole Gunnar Solksjard

Now that would be a coup.

Brilliant with the reserves at Man United, just lead Molde to their first title.

If he was good we may only hold on to him for a couple of years but would certainly create a bit of interest and give him the chance to cut his teeth in British football.

100% great shout!!!

He would definately command the respect of the players and fans.

Some of the players might adjust their attitude for someone like him

Did the OP suggest he is getting the job? I thought he purely stated an opinion that OGS is worth a shout. :agree:

[TRC]

Funnily enough this was who i thought would be a good shout, don't see why he wouldn't come here, he'll get more exposure than he would in the tippeligaen. Go get him Petrie eh I mean Scott Lindsay of course.......

[easty]

He wouldnt come to us. No chance. We're not even as good as a step sideways for him right now.

[Andy74]

Why on earth would he step down to Hibs?

[ScottB]

I suppose if Sir Alex reckoned the SPL was a good place for him to go, didn't he recently come out telling him that he shouldn't rush into English football? The SPL could be a good in between point for him with less media attention than he'd get at a Championship club.

OGS may like the idea of following in the footsteps of his mentor too?


He'd be a cracking appointment, and would bring knowledge of Man Utd's world class youth system and presumably make us a potential destination for young Utsd players...

[AlbertK86]

Would love him here but cannae see him giving up leading Molde into Europe again next season to come here for a relegation battle

[DC_Hibs]

Did the OP suggest he is getting the job? I thought he purely stated an opinion that OGS is worth a shout. :agree:

No he never.

I'm purely stating he's mare chance of winning Mastermind than we have of getting OGS 20 (plus points for the abbreviation to avoid making a c of spelling his name by the way!!)

Give fascism the red card

First post, but feel compelled to. The thought of him at Easter road disgusts me, the man is a fascist of that there is no doubt. I love Hibs ( like we all do) but if he was to get in, i really don't know if that love would ever be the same. I think part of the reason we all love our club is because of it's origins and it's principles, Of course not always of the board and/or owners, but of us the fans. If he ( and it is only speculation, if that) was to get the job and be accepted by us the fans there would surely something fundamentally lost in what it means to be Hibs and more over in us the fans. Also after fire bombing ER because it had became an abomination i would have to live out the rest of my life supporting Livorno, exiled in Italy :wink:

:agree: Great footballer but the man has shown himself to be a complete ersewit at Lazio - he has made his bed trying to bum up to the Mussolini-phile gumbies there so now he'll just have to lie in it - which means NOT being even considered for jobs like Hibs IMO.

He has completely zero track record as a manager anyway.

I think there's a massive over reaction on this thread. Lots of Italians still admire Mussolini so i'm not sure what the problem is.

I don't think anyone is dismissing Di Canios right to free speech and to support whatever political party he wishes.

However I think people are expressing the view they would rather our club didn't attract the kind of attention it would bring. If Hibs choose to employ Di Canopy fine, there's no legal reason they shouldn't. I wouldn't support the decision or him though.

first of all i was not accusing you or anyone of being a right wing sympathier.

My point is that my opposition and those that are also angered that a self declared fascist is being touted as the next Hibs manager is that we are aware of what facism is and want nothing to do with it. Hibernian is a multicultural community based family football club founded on a principle of helping the less fortunate something i'm proud of.

As for my knowledge on the subject, I study History and know the differences between italian fascism and German National Socialism but this is not the time or place to have political theory discussion.

[DC_Hibs]

Agreed, we do not want an Italian in charge at Easter Road.

Mussolini was no Hitler, but he was hardly all sweetness and light.

This is not a dangerous precedent at all, Di Canio has made his questionable views public, therefore they must be considered. Nobody is talking about asking about people's political beliefs, because they should be kept to ones self in this context. Di Canio running around pulling salutes and cosying up to the Ultras makes his beliefs a valid point of discussion and not something I, or it would seem, most other folk would want near the club.

[lyonhibs]

Apart from his dubious beliefs - to which he is entitled - he's a rank rotten football manager.

So on that basis, no.

[Future17]

[joe breezy]

i fully back freedom of speech.

However, there are certain views, that if in the public domain, can affect the perception of a manager by his staff.

How are black players supposed to feel if their boss has made a very public Facist / Roman / Nazi salute to a group of fans known for racist abuse?

If he kept it private then fair enough maybe but it's not a great statement from a man manager...

Of course, fascism is unseperateable from racism and the like, communism could be argued to be seen as seperate from the disasters it created.

Nah - would be right up there with employing a kiddie fiddler as manager IMO which no club in Scotland would ever consider doing even in their wildest... no wait a minute....

[offshorehibby]

I wouldn't say he's in the frame. He's got himself in some of the hun news papers to say he interested. I think if SL & FH take one look at his managerial record they'd see he couldn't manage a weekly shop never mind Hibs.

[Antifa Hibs]

I have to admit to liking Paolo Di Canio the footballer. F****n top player and an absulute character. Idolised the man as a kid from the Football Italia days, mind getting a pair of Pantofola d’Oro boots - cool as hell :cool2:

Then he went through that mad spell with the Lazio's ultras and his political beliefs circa 2004. :violin:

[basehibby]

Just asking. If it is important we don't have facists if people would welcome a communist.

Fair question as both are extreme forms of politics.

For my money if someone is a full on revolutionary communist, believing in forced redistribution of wealth, collectivisation, suppression of private commerce, religion etc then I would say they were pretty naive as well as ignorant considering the spectacular and disastrous failure of such experiments in the 20th century and I doubt if I'd want such a person managing the Hibs.

If someone claims to be a full on white supremicist facist then I'd consider them to be an odious morally bankrupt bigot and there's NO WAY I'd want them anywhere near my club.

I suppose the important thing is what they know about football more than anything else, but people's political beliefs do say something about their character and if someone wants to go shouting it from the rooftops then you can't blame the rest of us for drawing our own conclusions.

PS - Re DiCanio, I suspect that more than anything else he's just more than a little bit stupid - genius on the ball likes but not manager material.

[howdenthehibby]

No thanks!Experience please.

And Jackie the Red was our Club captain and assistant manager.

Idolised in the former role, vilified in the latter... and, in both cases, nothing to do with his political beliefs.

If di Canio was to deliver the Holy Grail, I'm sure we would be able to forgive a little peccadillo or two, no? :greengrin

[Persevere80]

He has bags of experence with the youngsters, has played and managed in the SPL. I would like to think he would have a good idea of any young up and coming players within Scotland waiting to get there chance. I like the idea he knows the likes of Wotherspoon and Hanlon. I would imagine he has seen some talent abroad that me be a cheap option for us and could maybe help build the next "golden generation". The U21's seems to have progressed well over the past couple of years and some breaking into the first team and EPL clubs. Stark must make some kind of an impression on these youngsters and i cant see him putting up with any attitude as they board planes flying out on european competitions. Im not sure who he has as an assistand under the Scotland set up, but if he was looking for a No2 our very own Billy could do the job.

Ive seen Billy Stark in action with the scotland set up and wouldnt touch him. He has a job under the old pals act . Scotland have produced better players recently but the clubs take the credit for this. Ive seen him a couple of times and both times the youngsters had no respect for him and he never seemed to utter a word of advice/ encouragement. It is at these times youngsters need talked through games to understand postional sense etc. They also need discipline and the manager should command respect. Stark offered neither.

His club record speaks for itself and id rather Ricky Sbragia who has recently become involved in youth set up be handed u21's than stark

[The Sea-gull]

Heard he has applied for the Hibs manager's job, as he has done a few times now (lets face it, it is a vacancy that you get plenty of opportunities to apply for!) but concedes he doesn't have much chance so would also be very interested in being number 2 to BB should he get it. BB said to rate him highly as a coach.

Apparently Robertson was close to getting the job in 2004 before Mowbray but the board shat it because of a fear of how the fans would have reacted.

Obvious uber-yam connections aside, I wouldn't have minded him back then as he was an up and coming young coach who had done well with ICT. Now I wouldn't want him as number 1 as he has done nothing of note for years and we needed an experienced man at the helm.

No problems with him as an assistant though as he may be a decent coach rather than manager.

[The Sea-gull]

Nobody fancy Allan Preston as number 3 to BB and JR then :devil:

[Pretty Boy]

I actually don't mind Robertson.

I've met him a few times and he's a pretty decent guy. However every time he scored against Hibs he loved it and he he hated us with a passion after we 'rejected' him. He nay have mellowed as he's aged but I still wouldn't have him here.

Oh and the story about him being one of us as a boy is a total myth.

well i worked with both his brothers and was on holiday in dublin with george a couple of years ago and he would disagree he has pics of him in the hibs strip wouldnt let me put it on a t-shirt though:thumbsup:

Ach maybe he has a few different stories.

I knew Chris quite well a few year ago and he was as big a jambo as they came and he was adamant John was the same.

Petrie will be trying to recycle Calderwood's old clobber so Robbo, Tangoman and FJK will definitely not in the running for the job.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Say what you like about Robbo - and we have/do - but you have to give him his due for attending the Hands Off Hibs rally at the Usher hall and stood with us against Mercer.
Doesn't mean I want him as manager think - there are surely better options.

[PISTOL1875]

John Robertson - manager
Billy Brown - Assistant
Jim Jeffries - Director of Football
Alan Preston - 1st team coach

Can you imagine anything worse that THAT ??????????

[Kaiser Sauzee]

Name not mentioned yet, but was reading something about him recently.

Former reserve team manager at Man ure then in his 1st season as manager at Molde he won the league.

Would command instant respect due to his impressive career at utd. Win in mentality, would surely be a step up.

Might be worth a punt as an outsider.

Thoughts?

[Kaiser Sauzee]

No mentioned this time a he's getting the gig? You know how rod likes to keep things on the Q.T:wink:

[Since90+2]

No chance.

[Onceinawhile]

There was a thread about him earlier but it was merged with numerous other random suggestions. I would be happy to see it but very surprised.

[Wotherspiniesta]

Not mentioned yet?

He's had 2 threads started about him!

[Cool_Hand_Luke]

John Robertson - manager

Get Chris Robinson and Leslie Deans in as the board room dream team to replace Rod and we are sorted.

Must've missed them, apologies!

I don't blame you for not noticing to be honest, every man and his dug have been touted for the job on here.

[Dashing Bob S]

It doesn't seem to be wring out for him at international level.

If he suddenly became available...















:jamboak:

This post is for anyone daft enough to consider Jefferies. Levein is just a younger, better version. Would you accept him?

[Saorsa]

I was going tae post something then I noticed the bit at the bottom about finding that fat po faced h****s **** acceptable. I'll no need tae bother now.

[Rossco1875]

gary locke..... a wouldnt even have that c*** cleaning the toilets at easter road

[s.a.m]

Might have some difficulty raising a team of non-Hibs players out of our squad :dunno:

[bingo70]

Was it him that was close to getting the Celtic job but fell through as he had a contract with the Finland team?

I know he's always a tongue and cheek suggestion but could he actually be a serious possibility?

[Deeklipse]

Rod tweeted earlier that his application had arrived.

Fresh out of work. Got NI to play half decent football and did a cracking job at Norwich City when he was there.

To be honest, I would have accepted Levein before he became Scotland manager. His tactics and general ****wittery since have changed that though.

Worthington took an over-performing NI side and got them back to performing at their own level.

I think somebody is winding me up here but I have just been told that Martin O'Neill will be our next manager by a Hibby mate who is apparently in the know. I'd love to see it but I just cant see that happening!

I highly doubt it. Sure he's not just getting Michael and Martin mixed up?

[Hibtastic]

No, I said that to him - his reply was "big bucks involved"!!

Never happening. He is still a Celtic shareholder. He has knocked back bigger clubs than us. Dream on.

cannae see it masel' - how good a mate is the one that told you this? Has he gave you any "scoops" in the past?. Not knocking you, after all, you are just posting what you have been told, just wondering how much weight you put behind the info

[hibee92]

he had an interview, but as far as i'm aware it was more the case of his agent interviewing us. but he definately sat down with hibs.

as did russell latapy.

[Walter]

As much as I'd love this to be true, and as much as the dreamer in me is trying to rationalise ways for it to be true, I find it hard to believe that a man who could almost have his pick of jobs in the UK, and potentially around Europe, would be interested in coming to us.

I hope its true though!!!!

Is this not maybe a case of the 'we will consult widely' statement from the board?

Nah.....

This smells of a yam rumour

[SanFranHibs]

Nah.....

But there would be no lack of budget players for him ay ER.

The only credence I would give to any Hibs-Martin O'Neil contact is I think if in some crazy fit Petrie contacted his agent, MON is gracious enought to decline respectfully.

But I don't think RP would ever have sought him out as an 'applicant' just in case he said yes !!! :wink:

:flag:

[AlbertK86]

No, I said that to him - his reply was "big bucks involved"!!

That confirms it is a wind up !! RP and Big Bucks to the manager will never appear in the same sentence

[Aldo]

TBH thought he would of put in for the Leicester City job... They have big bucks to spend. Not dissing the OP but don't think Martin would come to us.

I will say this that it would be a major coup for RP and the board. Would want some dosh for transfers though.

Defo would put bums on seats tho.

He wouldn't got near celtc, they're way below the level he wants.

This is right up there with Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness.

[chrisski33]

Sure it isnt the Lord Martin O neil that used to be on the board that he was thinking of?

[Gala Foxes]

M O'Neill Walked away from a possible job with open "King Power" cheque book at Leicester so a job with a Petrie controlled "budget at Easter Road is a non-starter

[edwards]

Hasn't been in a job for a while but honestly can't see it, only him being oirish and our name is the only connection, mind you accross on mad they are sayin that McClaren's name is getting touted about er on real radio.
And someone on Sayin Ian Mcparland has got the job now that one would make more sense as Brown and Mcparland were close friends when they were younger and Mcparland would keep Brown on as assistant.

No it dosen't!

[Melvin Hibs]

I would love to see this happen. That would definately put bums back on seats and would also show massive intent by the board. It would also send shockwaves through the football world and most definately piss the Mhanky Mob off. As much as I would like this to happen, I just can't see it!

Really?

Really?

I think so. Who would have possibly predicted that we, (if it happens that is) would get a manager in of the calibre of Martin O'Neill.

I actually don't like Martin O'Neill... I'd rather we got Michael O'Neill - honestly

Probably no one, but who outside of Scotland would take any notice?

I followed Leicester to Wembley 4 times (winning League Cup twice) & wins at Anfield & Old Trafford under Martin O'Neill - can't remember "hoofbaw" but can remember attacking teams through midfield through Izzet & Savage and down the wings through Impey & Guppy. And he could organise a defence, unlike any of our last 6/7 managers - Taggart , Walsh & Elliot knew how to clear their lines. He got Celtic's defence water tight as well.

This place is getting worse than Football Rumours or someone's been :drunk::bevvied!::smokin

[The Falcon]

Martin O'Neil servered his apprenticeship years ago, scraping around the lower leagues looking for bargains that he could maybe work with. Given his fairly recent walk out on Villa would suggest that he dosent want to do it again. I also suspect Martin ON wants to be challenging for honours these days.


That said we were very (very) close to signing Kenny Dalglish in the nineties. :wink:
