It's Appleton

[The 90+2]

Being reported now by some guys like BT that talks have broken down. Heckingbottom clear fav now.

[GloryGlory]

I wonder why he's KB'd it? :confused:

Petrie! :confused:

PS Who knows if he has or hasn't? Chinese whispers do not a fact make.

[BoyledEgg]

What a shambles the club is if they don’t get this done

[oldbutdim]

I've just been told by a relative of a player that Appleton KB'd the job last night and again after he was approached this morning.

Now, I have no idea how much truth is in this but have no reason to doubt what I was told, i'm just passing on what I was told.

PS: I was really warming to Appleton becoming our next manager and still hope that he will be our next man in charge.

Darrell Currie confirming this.

i am not shooting the messenger but it seems strange that a player is privy to discussions.

Oops! It appears that he was. Stranger still.

I was being sarcastic re Petrie.

Why is it a PR disaster? Someone may or may not have been offered a job. Someone may or may not have decided not to take the job.

Why is it a shambles and PR disaster, we have a certain amount of money and if it's coming down to that then we can't just throw whatever he wants at him, this isn't England with their loads of tv money.

Yeah, hibbies (and undercover yams) in uproar over non appointment of manager they were underwhelmed by. LOL.

[Scotty Leither]

The issue is the buy out clause if another, bigger club comes calling. Fully expect it to be sorted out and him appointed today or tomorrow. SkyBet offering 2/1 Appleton. I’ve jumped on to the tune of a big note.

I've heard similar - if we pay him off in the future or he resigns, the severance he wants is 12 months payment and Hibs want to offer 3 months hence the "delay in negotiations".

We've went back to the other guy Heckingbottom who has told Hibs he won't be second choice to anyone.

...and so the delay goes on.

It would only be a PR disaster if we had actually put an announcement on the official site claiming he was the new head coach, surely?

This is why Hibs don't announce things until they are actually done, although it is much to the chagrin of the "I demand a statement" brigade.

[Jim44]

I don’t know how you can say this. All the rumours, chat and information didn’t emanate from the club. We really can’t even be sure that he is/was the no 1 target. If he was and wouldn’t accept the conditions and money offered by the club, there’s not a lot they could do about it. Some compromise from both sides is required to seal a deal and if it doesn’t work out, then they have to walk away from it. Disappointing, as it certainly ‘appeared’ promising, but we move on.

Hibs - through there manager confirmed a new man would be in place this week

If its not, it doesnt paint the club in a good light at all

Come on guys, if this was Hearts we would be ripping into them

[One Day Soon]

Appleton is clearly our preferred choice otherwise we wouldn't have been in these discussions with him. If it comes down to something as minor as the margin of difference for an additional 9 months severance I'll be pretty disappointed. But then we'll never actually know.

[Bobby's Cinema]

The club are correct to take their time.

As other have mentioned it hasnt actually been that long since Lennon left.

It just feels like a LONG period of nothing happening in the transfer window and no football has continued on to now waiting over the manager.

I don't think Mays continued absolute reluctance was necessery or helpful in this. Could have definitely toned it down.

Will be disappointing now if by Saturday the man in charge is still a man who doesn't want to be there.

[Leitherhibs]

To be fair to Eddie, he’s looked uncomfortable from day one in front of the media, put him in a place he’s never wanted to be. Think he’ll probably end up saying things that in hindisght he might rather have kept quiet.

Hibs cannot be defended if they don't give us an update this time. Supporters deserve to know what's going on this time, we're a laughing stock and deserve an explanation.

PR disaster looming.

Manager that no one really knew of a week ago, some how not taking the job (if he was actually offered it and it isn't just people making stories up because they've not got actual facts to report on) means that there's some sort of PR disaster looming?

Talk me through that one please?

You have absolutely zero knowledge of why there is no statement from the club and if the new man might be starting anytime soon, he doesn't have to start exactly when you say so. Have some bloody patience.

Who said he was our first choice candidate? He was bookies favourite and the the papers decided he was our first choice candidate. There's not even been any ITK posters saying he's the number one priority, the whole thing seems to have come from the bookies odds and some fans deciding he's their number one choice based on some positive articles about him.

The only shambles and laughing stock about this whole process has been how quickly some fans are ready to give our club a kicking, it's like many have just been waiting gleefully for anything to happen that can allow them to get angry.

Why?
Do you actually believe we always get the right man we go for, could it possibly be that he is the right guy but has asked for maybe too much and we can't accommodate him, so we move to someone who wants to be here, also we know absolutely nothing about anything, far too many knickers getting into twists here, get a grip ffs man.

Thats true....regardless the point is the same. They must have been pretty far down the road for May to announce it on Saturday

Are you still standing by your assertion that Michael Appleton attended Celtic Park last week as a guest of the club?

[flash]

I've heard similar - if we pay him off in the future or he resigns, the severance he wants is 12 months payment and Hibs want to offer 3 months hence the "delay in negotiations".

We've went back to the other guy Heckingbottom who has told Hibs he won't be second choice to anyone.

Again we don't know why talks have stalled, what if Appleton was being a dick and wanted too much money and far too many extras in his contract that we were unwilling to agree to due to not being a multi million pound football club, would that show us in a bad light?


Yes it will, as that will never be revealed. All that we know is our reported number 1 targets talks have stalled according to the press.

[Jim44]

I've heard similar - if we pay him off in the future or he resigns, the severance he wants is 12 months payment and Hibs want to offer 3 months hence the "delay in negotiations".

We've went back to the other guy Heckingbottom who has told Hibs he won't be second choice to anyone.

...and so the delay goes on.

If we’re dealing with fiction, let’s at least get the facts sounding convincing. If a manager resigns, I would assume he would be entitled to diddly squat.

[The 90+2]

Are you still standing by your assertion that Michael Appleton attended Celtic Park last week as a guest of the club?


I don't know. I never seen him. I posted where I got my info' from before the match. Pardon me for doing so if incorrect, it won't happen again :rolleyes:

Heckingbottom would be lucky to get this job considering his record. I doubt he'd tell us he won't be second choice. He should jump at the chance if offered. I still trust Hibs to find better than him though.

Hopefully we get the Appleton deal sorted and over the line soon.

[Smartie]

:agree: I was just about to post the same. I’m on the club’s side in the way they’ve handled this situation, but I would concede that their announcement about the new guy being in post for the next match was hasty and ill-advised.

:agree:

I wondered why Eddie May would be so open about this?

Hibs are normally very good at saying nothing until a deal is over the line and a transfer/ contract/ whatever is confirmed.

It was a bit careless of him/ Hibs to give the impression that something was imminent when there was still even the tiniest of chances it could fall through.

Surely Hibs should have sent him out there with something like this -

EM "I'm being kept in the loop, and I know Hibs are working hard towards putting a new man in place. I'll be here doing this until that happens, and it hopefully won't be too long now until I can go back to my old job".

If pushed further he doesn't need to commit to anything.

[Hibeesmad]

Maybe we won’t finish in the top four under Appleton after all.

[ahibby]

:greengrin Remember we were also "reportedly" still interviewing candidates yesterday.

You should take everything you read in the "news"papers with a Siberian salt mine's worth of sodium chloride. :greengrin

Seems it depends on whose article you read. If Sundays article is to believed the target date for the manager signing was always tomorrow (Wednesday). That being the case all parties knew that some details were still to be agreed, and that doesn't mean talks have stalled or hit a snag.

[JeMeSouviens]

Just waiting on the "It's not Appleton" thread ...

[Pretty Boy]

From my point of view I find it refreshing that following on from S.Gerrard, people are willing to have a go in the much maligned and slagged off Scottish system.
Hopefully he will get two/three years minimum and give it a right good go.
I don't think he will turn into a "Calderwood / Fenlon " type debacle certainly.
Time will tell but I'm glad we've looked outside the Scottish bubble

Is the 'Scottish bubble' even a thing now?

In recent years we have seen, with varying success, guys like Rodgers, Stubbs, Kearney, Fenlon, Robinson, Clarke, Wright, Johansson, Delia, Caixinha, Waarburton, Lomas, Fenlon, Baraclough and Laszlo come to Scotland and ply their trade. I know some of them played here but none of them had managed here prior to their 1st appointment. That's just off the top of my head.

There seems a tendency to downplay how decent a job Hibs is specifically and what the league offers more generally. It's a far more attractive proposition that we give it credit for.

[SquashedFrogg]

The over reaction to everything here at the moment is laughable, there must be a huge amount of knickers getting washed in households all over Edinburgh right now.

David Hardie reported it. Many other papers have reported it.

Therefore it doesn't look good for the club in regard to hysterical Hibs fans who will, and have jumped on the penny pinching bandwaggon + anyone not a Hibee. An announcement needs to be made to bring us all together again and get the feel good factor back to the club. Reportedly stalling in touch with the man we want for the job doesn't really help matters.

[Rumble de Thump]

May never gave his thoughts. He said he had been told that the new man would be in and be in charge of the Hamilton game.

That wasn’t his thoughts. It was what was communicated to him.

I don't recall him saying that had been communicated to him. He may just have assumed that everything would be finalised in the coming week, which it may be. He certainly seemed to think it would be but it's not finalised until the club confirms it in an official statement.

Drivel.

If we got to the final stages and his agent asked for double salary or 1.5 times transfer budget, that would also stop the bus, no?

All this pish about "penny pinching" - dont you think its maybe feasible that Hibs talked to him about money before today?

And is it then also feasible that the "stumbling block" isnt Hibs?

So many people on here desperate, utterly desperate for something to be Hibs fault its tedious.

Again a report from the press and not the club itself, until we announce the new manager everything written is pure speculation, did anyone expect Solskjaer to get the Man U gig till the end of the season, everyone had Pochettino to be firm favourite for it.

Idea for a message board: every so often have a massive random whittling of the population Avengers:Infinity Wars style.

[The 90+2]

There was definitely a news announcement that May had been told that he would not be in the caretaker post for the Hamilton game.


He spoke after the 3-1 win over Raith Rovers, and said: "That will be my last game and I am delighted to go out on a win.
"The new man is coming in and at least we are in the quarter-final."

"I have been told this was my last game and that the new man will come - I was told about five minutes before kick-off. I won't be in charge for the Hamilton game.

Having just watched a thing on agents and listened to a bit on football lawyers it seems fairly common that they pick up on some ambiguous wording or fine print in contracts that they have to bring to the attention of their client that can lead to a delay. This can happen on transfer deadline day with lawyers and associates combing through hefty contracts so hopefully won't take too long to complete. Unless it is the Tache or others trying to be clever.

Hopefully it's still Appleton and it's ironed out tomorrow.

Those frothing at the mouth (particularly on some facebook groups) for updates and calling the club a disgrace do worry me about how the get by and general day to day situations without having hissy fits.

I'm looking at the main stand entrance and looks like hee haw going on here.

From what I have been told its not a press conference or release but a statement from the club so Jamie Borthwick (STV News) has been dispatched to cover the story, likely will be just him doing a piece to cam for the 6 o'clock news.

I like the idea of a whole team of reporters sitting waiting on an announcement from Hibs.
