I would still like to see Michael O'Neill get it, looking less likely though. I tried to find a Shamrock Rovers fans forum to see what they made of it but could not see one.

Over and over, Ian Crocker was saying Billy Stark was rumored to be coming to ER as Clarkes asst :thumbsup:
i'd expect our new manager to be announced wednesday, more press coverage once the scotland game is done with
That's because he is rumoured to be coming here. The press read hibs.net too.Quote:

So, what have the board had to do in the last week?
1. Prepare for the AGM.
2. Ensure the vacancy is publicised as widely as possible whilst being discreet.
3. Allow time for applications and CV's to be submitted.
4. Consider the CV's of interested parties.
5. Create a short list.
6. Interview candidates.
7. Possible second interviews.
8. Negotiate terms, including salary, length of contract, compensation terms, budget for support staff, budget for players etc etc etc
9. Ask lawyers to prepare contract.
10. Pass to candidates lawyers to check and agree.
11. Arrange for candidate to sign contract.
12. Make announcement.
And the rest. And the day job.
If they've managed to do all that in a week, big respect.
Why would they have to be discreet? Not having a go, just not sure what you mean?Quote:

Someone will be along to offer a more appropriate adjective. :greengrin

If you wanted a one to one on a personal problem the answer usually was
JC
" ... if you need help ask your family : while your here just get on and do the job you are paid to do " ( or words to that effect )
So what's your point, caller?! JC was trying to run the Club/Team in a professional manner - or was it as a Youth Club?! If my son had a personal problem, I'd want/expect him to come to me too... He tries to turn the Club in to a professional outfit, using the experience he's gained from living/playing abroad - and it get's thrown back in his face cos he ruffled a few feathers...?
All I was doing was replying to an earlier post saying that JC wouldn't come back because of the way he was treated - is that still a load of nonsense? Apologies if it is...

"Football being football, the telephones, emails and text messages have been red hot. There will be a lot of interest in one of the leading jobs in football management in Scotland.
That suggests we've still got a bit of a wait in front of us.
Exciting thogh, i'nt it? :greengrin
Wow - makes you wonder how most other clubs manage to do it quickly then!Quote:

He would have taken Hibs to a new level. But that level of tripe, dull football and would have been well below John Hughes' level :agree:

I think it's imperative that a football manager dealing with young players is able to act as advisor, confident, mentor, counsellor and friend.
Older, battle hardened professionals may not need the same amount of support, but guys in their teens and early 20's definitely need someone they can turn to, imo.
:agree:Quote:

It's a bit ironic then that the players that reacted best to JC's methods were the young guys, Hogg, Mccann, Benji, Brown and Stevenson all improved under him and have gone backwards since he left, although to be fair Mccann has hardly played.Quote:

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I think most clubs take their time.Quote:

Some clubs rush to appoint an interim manager, but that's not what we're doing. For example, Killie brought in Calderwood and Motherwell brought in Brown. I guess we could have done the same, but we want something different.
Some, high profile clubs will go behind the incumbent's back and secretly tap up a manager in advance but we haven't been as duplicitous.
Also, there is huge interest in the Hibs job so we should consider all the applicants properly. Many of the names will be unknown to the board, so an amount of research will be necessary.
I remember the clamour for Jim Gannon to be appointed last time on the back of one poster's fanciful and glowing posts. We all seem to be desperate for Steve Clarke this time, when none of us know if he has the right attributes - or if there is a better candidate out there.
Unlike us, the board are duty bound to find out.
There is no need for an unseemly rush. We have a 2 week break which allows us even more scope to take our time.
If Garteth Evans is in charge against Killie, so be it. We might win. He might be the man for the job.
