Didn't take him long

[YehButNoBut]

Does this mean he is off our payroll and we don't have to pay him compensation?? :thumbsup:

[MrSmith]

This really bothers me! It all feels so construed!?

If he really was working his ticket then surely he was taking the piss out of us with the intent to lose his job and that in itself is gross misconduct?

It bothers me more that our board refused the compo for him in the summer from birmingham.

They would have been accused of 'cashing in' at the first opportunity.

I truly hope that Brum get humped in all their remaining games and get relegated. I will be looking out for their results and booing them and CC whenever I catch a glimpse of them on telly.

Crossroads fans know whit's gaun oan.

They would have been congratulated for cashing in at the first opportunity.

[Franck Stanton]

No surprise here really, just confirms my, and a lot of Hibs supporters that he was woking his ticket since the start of this season. Good riddence to him, hope he is a spectacular failure , as what goes around , comes around.

[H18sry]

The compo only came from Forest and it was less than Hibs had paid Newcastle,but in hindsight ................................................. it's a wonderful thing :wink:

He wasn't working his ticket, he just wasn't up to the job.

Deadwood wasn't bright enough to actually create a situation where he was in control. He had to rely on sheer incompetence to get the right bag of sweeties.

Well do share your wonderful experience of our ex-manager then! :sairhead:

Hope he struggles down there.:agree:

We initially spent a few months going backwards, then forwards, then back again :greengrin, and ultimately ended up 12 months after his appointment with a bunch of new players performing just as inconsistantly as we were when Hughes was in charge.

After being an initial supporter of the 'give him time' catchphrase I (like pretty much all of the people who were willing to back him more than BlackpoolHibs - sorry BH:wink:) eventually came to the conclusion that he had to go.

I am under absolutely no illusion that he was anything other than utterly incompetant however, there is no evidence at all to suggest that he was "working his ticket" other than he ended up being sacked and is now employed by a club that were after him previously; which to me does not seem all that strange.

To be fair to Yogi, Calderwood actually had us putting in even worse performances. .
To be fair to Calderwood he did have us playing consistently. Consistently pish.

[stu in nottingham]

'They'll be dancing in the streets of Nottingham tonight', (although he had less than no chance after idiot McClaren left town...)

[allezsauzee]

I think we need to accept that we've been had and move on. Hopefully CC has the decency not to get @rsey about compo.

[MrSmith]

Absolutely agree with you, I was in the same camp too! However, I used the word 'feel' and 'construed' whether it is or isn't the case?? It certainly feels like it to me or other words in my own opinion that is how it appears.

[Saorsa]

They would have been accused of 'cashing in' at the first opportunity.Why? A lot of people wanted rid of him before that anyway. I would have paid for his taxi.

[Peevemor]

But there were also those, sick of changing managers every 5 minutes, who thought he should get more time.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Even the level of incompetence that CC demonstrated is tough to prove. IMHO CC orchestrated his way out of Easter Road through complete neglect of his duties, deliberately sabotaging the team's performance and showing a blatant disregard for his responsibilities to his employer, the club and the Hibs fans. He is a wage thief. :greengrin

Other than that, I'm really undecided on this issue.

[Dr Jimmy]

****** plain and simple. Good riddance.

[Elephant Stone]

He should spend his foreseeable future unemployed as a token of apology for his failings here. How dare he take a new job?

[Speedway]

http://www.bcfc.com/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10412~2526541,00.html

Last sentence made me chuckle.

[Baader]

Calderwood didn't intentionally work hard at being a s**t manager - it came naturally to him.

Couldn't care what he does - just glad he won't darken ER any more...

[Gatecrasher]

How this Plonker managed to get another job in football after his time with us is beyond me.

[PeterboroHibee]

I quite like both Birmingham and Hughton, but with CC there really hope they struggle. Cant get rid of the feeling that he intentionally screwed the club around, his record was appauling and his antics in the summer were pretty unforgivable, awful manager.

[SteveHFC]

Because it's the job he wanted all along.

He wanted to be a number 2 because he takes it up the number 2 because as a manager his a number 2.

Deary me, chill out Kammywam :aok: He's gone now you can relax. I wanted CC to be gone as much as anyone, but if you think he actually tried to get sacked you are clearly mental.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

This shows that Calderwood is back in the role that he does best at, and that is staying behind the scenes. What we really need to do now, is get over the fact that we were ever taken in by him, face up to the fact that we have been had, and get on with it. Bigger clubs than us have been turned over in similar circumstances. Nottingham Forrest immediately spring to mind.

[rj hibs]

Wishing Calderwood to fail is quite pathetic. He wasn't exactly inspirational but I'm sure he wasn't the worst we've ever had.

9th is the worst you've seen at Hibs? You seem rather bitter. Would it not be better to concentrate on the new manager anyway?

I have seen us relegated, but his calendar year has been the worst in terms of football i have seen in my life.

Even when we have been bad before, there's been some kind of spark, a decent player, a light at the end of a long dark tunnel.

Calderclown had none of that, crap players crap team and crap football. Resulting in nearly 40% of fans who were at the games before he arrived, buggering off to do something else.


And what new manager? How can anyone concentrate on a new manager when we dont bloody have one?

Yes the worst, i'd rather have Bertie ****in Auld back than that prick.

:agree:

Totally agree. Over the years I've seen some really crap Hibs teams but at least they appeared to be giving it their best shot albeit that was often very poor.

I honestly can't say the same about the team that CC built and unfortunately his legacy will linger on for some time yet.

[Kammy1875]

I don't think he "wanted" to be sacked. I do think he's now in the position he wanted to be in.

Calderwood couldn't gie a ****, that rubbed off on the players.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'm still not convinced, he did very little to hang on to his job. He did not appear to be trying that hard to save it.

I agree he's were he wanted to be, he's happy now.

[James Connolly]

Will be in attendance when Birmingham visit The Bluebirds next Sunday...I'll be sure to thank him for all his 'fantastic work' at Hibs, if I get the chance!!!

Imbicile of the highest order!!

[Criswell]

Have to say it looks like Calderwood 1 Petrie 0

[mca]

Have to say it looks like Calderwood 1 Petrie 0



It does look like that - and if im right - Now that Cc is employed elsewhere - then hibs wont have to pay his wages anymore... p


or did we give him a lump-sum pay off ????

[wazoo1875]

He's just been on talksport admitting that he should have done much better, that we are a fantastic club with a good set of players.
He also said he's been lucky to land the gig at brum and that all the loose ends are tied up with Hibs.
FWIW he spoke very highly of Hibs and of the infrastructure at the club.

[Kammy1875]

Have to say it looks like Calderwood 1 Petrie 0

Not really, we are the Hibs, we will appoint Pat who will ***** all over CC as a manager. Jokes on CC for wanting to be a biatch. :aok:

Well said Blackpool especially the bit in bold. The records may show it was Jim Duffy but Coco the Clown wins it for me. By far the worst manager in the glorious history of HFC

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but he should have been released/punted/drove down the M6 in the summer when he had no interest in the job and treated the fans like dirt with his press conferences and will he wont he panto routine whoring himself to Birmingham and to be back in the arms of Chris Houghton :rolleyes: I dont care if it cost us 300k his legacy may be much more than that.

Yes attendances are down all over the SPL but he drove away even more supporters with his style of football and baffling formations. His interviews were hardly inspiring to stay away hibby's to be part of 'the family' initiative that the board were driving..

To say that a draw against Dunfermline was acceptable was the final straw for many. His legacy will show a end of season in 2010-11 which was dreadful, a cup exit against the mighty Ayr and woeful derby performances.

Im sad that a few on here wanted to give him more time and turn things around, and now were to believe that he's lucky to get the Birmingham job :yawn: Complete bull. Shows how highly he thought of us..


You were a joke Colin. No if's or buts. I hope the people who recommended you for the job at our club are hanging their heads in disgust..

:applause:

[I Love Lamp]

I welcomed the appointment of CC at the time and feel so f*****g stupid for doing so that I'm never going to respond with anything other than cautious optimism ever again - probably shouldn't bother talking about football. So embarrassed for being so wrong.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

9th is the worst you've seen at Hibs? You seem rather bitter. Would it not be better to concentrate on the new manager anyway?

I agree, Calderwood is the worst manager we have had at ER in the last 40 years. Duffy was dire and Sauzee was poor but at least both these guys gave a **** about the results and their jobs. They both at least showed some enthusiasm and deep regret when things didn't work for them. Calderwood's record may have been slightly better than these two, but for ability, approach, application, delivery, enthusiasm and down right couldn't-give-holy-**** attitude means that when the gongs are handed out in 2075 at the Hibernian FC bi-centenary awards ceremony, Colin (Sweetie Bags) Calderwood will rightfully be crowned the WORST HIBERNIAN MANAGER IN HISTORY. And Petrie and the current Board of Numpies - or their next of kin - can collect the award for employing the worst manager in HFC history. Well done to all concerned. In a parallel universe, I'm sure you're all bankers :greengrin

[Nailrod]

Were any of these "applauders" (aka:idiot:) not jambo lurkers?

The guy had just finished his season with one win in his last ten games, despite the fact that eight of these were against bottom six sides, and one point from the five post-split games, thereby setting the record for the worst ever performance by any bottom six side after the split - one that's likely to stand for a long time.
