Surely Hughes will recall his favourite player: big honest laddie, Nishy?

Thought his fav player was Kevin mcbride or was it paddy Cregg

[Coco Bryce]

No surprise really. Way out of his depth.

Aye, but big honest laddie Nish was on his team sheet every week. And he wondered why he was sacked? :LOL:

[leither17]

Mcbride scored dundee's 3rd goal the day

[Squealing pig]

Just seen on wiki he plays for Dundee. Didn't realise Hartlepool bound soon I think. Yogis 1st signing prob.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Harsh comments on this thread (maybe true) but i hope Yogi is successful .

[zlatan]

Yogi bingo :not worth

[Hiber-nation]

How did mcbride play the day?

Scored a straight down the middle pen - other than that he probably touched the ball 4 times. Always liked him for us until he got that injury.

Sit down and eat your rusk. When did you last see a league one game? As for the "monkey hangers"? One win in 18 isnt it. Yogis got his work cut out and I for one wish him well.

I would usually want an ex-Hibs player/manager to do well, but after Yogi's "apprenticeship" comments, I'm struggling to be magnanimous.

What did he say?

[Pretty Boy]

'Ah see whit those boays dae in training every day, good honest laddies. A 5-0 defeat? Plenty goals and entertainment though eh?'

[Hibbyradge]

What did he say?

I read somewhere that he said his time at Hibs, Falkirk and Livingston was an apprenticeship for managing in England.

I can't find those words anywhere, so I could be mistaken.

[Hibbyradge]

Found it!

Hughes, previously in charge of Falkirk, Hibs and Livingston - "I've done my apprenticeship in Scotland" - has long wanted to manage in the Football League.

Hartlepool, not a million miles from his Edinburgh roots in both miles and mentality, is the ideal platform.

"It's an opportunity I have wanted for a long time, English football has a higher profile. Scottish football has to have a real good look at itself,'' he admitted.

Just read it Hibbyradge. What a knob! Hope he enjoys league 2.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

No matter how much Yogi thinks that Scottish football needs to have a good look at itself [WTF does this mean:confused:] he will find out that even South of the border, it is a results business. Wish him well. In terms of moving on, I think that it will do him a world of good to be in an environment where no-one will give two hoots about what went wrong for him at Hibs.

I really don't give a toss about Yogi mate. Thinks he way better than he is.

Changed your tune there eh lol.

[iwasthere1972]

The Hartlepool fans will be lapping up his words just like we did when he joined us. We all know he can talk the talk but walk the walk is a different matter. One thing for certain is that he has a hell of a job on his hands to even keep Hartlepool in division 1. Will he be afforded the time? I don't know.

Still hope he does well for Jeff Stelling's sake. Can't be easy doing the Sky Sports prog and announcing that your team are getting walloped week in week out. Wonder if Jeff will get himself a Yogi Bear to go with his James Brown.

[leither17]

Jeff won't be happy 90th min winner for oldham

3 or 4 guys fae Falkirk and a bumper contract to Ed De Graff and they will soon be soaring up the table.

He can't really talk though really can he?

[truehibernian]

That might not be a bad thing as Falkirk have two or three I'd take in a minute - Hibs are looking at one of them too (Sibbald).

As for EDG - no, just no. I wouldn't wish that player on anyone, even Hughes.

That's a 120 page thread in itself. :wink:

[Bishop Hibee]

An acquaintance of mine from Hartlepool who gets along to a few of their games a season contacted me for my thoughts on Yogi's appointment. He wasn't too pleased with my reply :greengrin. To be honest they've done well to remain in League 1 for so long and were close to promotion to the Championship when they played Sheffield Wed a few years ago in the play-off final. They'll be relegated barring a miracle. Sacked by the middle of next season is my prediction.

[hibeedonald]

To be fair he was still nowhere near as bad as CC
