But insults aside, he did not do a good job at Notts Forest, he was unpopular there, so why are we interested in him?
Petrie should not have been allowed to make an other appointment.
calderwoods....Pash
They had a chance this time to push the boat out a little and pay the wages to attract a decent manager. Im very under whelmed if he is the man. He has to get a chance though, like everyone else.
Just been reading what the guy said after Phil O'donnels death. As far as Im concerned I dont want a classless phanny like that anywhere near the ER, never mind the dug-out.:grr::grr::grr:
Why? did Rod win the lottery?Quote:

Guys like Collins, Mixu and Hughes were supposed to be exciting and inspirational leaders and have us playing exciting expansive football.
I don't think we can really tell what we will get with anyone until we get the guy in and he has a chance to get on with it. Even then as we have kept changing he'll also need a couple of years to get a team sorted out.
He has already got 2 teams promoted...Clarke is unproven and only ever been an assistant..perhaps he hasnt worked with Chelski etc but he has already got two teams promoted so he cant be as bad as some make out
Pretty apparent Calderwood was not first choice, Clarke was not happy at the wage offer and that is why he turned the role down....
If it is CC then it seems as though some have written his epitaph before he's even started.
We're all doomed I tell ye!
what did he say?Quote:

Vintage hibs.net. We make a name up and then assume he turned us down! :faf:Quote:

I would love to be proved wrong, but if Calderwood is the man, very uninspiring.
Thats a good sign for next season. :wink:Quote:

Can anyone tell me where i can listen to this broadcast?
:boo hoo:Why does nobody believe me? :boo hoo:
I actually heard that Clarke did want a lot more and thats why he turned it down.. dunno how much truth there is in that though...Quote:

Fair point, though Mowbray was sacked on the basis of appalling results. Calderwood got Forest promoted yet despite this success the fans wanted him out (they got this wish a few months later) because of the hoofball they played. If he's the man for the job let's hope he's changed his football philosophy....Quote:

May be so. But if we were to have a mins silence would you protest against it or just get on with it.
Every other ground in the Uk had a mins silence out of pure common decency for a event that really shocked football fans. So soon after xmas was a cruel cruel blow.
As far as Im concerened he can be right to think these comments but not say them to a newspaper.
Im sure he will be loved down at Fir park.
Possibly and not looking to make a big thing of it, I'm just not sure what the relevance of us having a minutes silence would be, nice touch yes, but I don't think it should be required.Quote:

So more like Hibs fans with Mixu then?Quote:

Hughes , Mixu,Collins, were all inspiring because they were popular as players.
I think Hibs need something completely new - but we will see !
And I don't believe that in England they do a minutes silence for Scottish players ?
Radio Scotland.
Brian mc. just been on over telephone to near enough confirm its Colin Calderwood. :yawn:
Even You Mr 'Hibs Pravda' can't approve of the comments he made. Stop being so sanctimonious all the time:bitchy::devil:Quote:

Quite the oppositeQuote:

The last time Hibs played good football was the big win at Fir Park and the 1-0 win at Ibrox, both some time ago.
Clarke felt right in terms of changing that...let's see who is unveiled...
I do wish you would be more positive about hibs managers:greengrinQuote:

SSN just more or less confirmed it's CC.

How do you know it wasn't!? Some posters were saying he was a sure thing and that he was going to be appointed today.Quote:

CC has been in talks since Friday and not a single person "in the know" knew. I have no doubt that there are posters on the board that are friends with people within the club or are people from within the club and are privy to information that most of us are not, however, so many people claim to be "in the know" and with all the bogus stories flying around it makes it difficult for me to believe any of the rumours posted here.

Phil O'Donnell was a Scottish Football personality, familiar to fans and players of all clubs, so it was only right that we observe a silence, and take a time out to pay respects. However, there were entire stadia absent of a single body aware of Phil O'Donnell prior to his death, having a minutes' silences simply because......well.....it seemed to be the popular reaction. That sort of reaction seems, to me, a bit pointless, and could be constreud as diminishing the gestures of those who WERE more involved.
