THE day generations of Hibs stars dreamed of finally arrived today as the Easter Road club officially opened its £4.2million state-of-the-art training centre.
And immediately boss John Collins claimed there wasn't a football manager in the world who wouldn't be proud to have the East Mains Training Centre, built on more than 50 acres of land near Ormiston, at their disposal.

As often seems to happen with your goodself you need to do a bit more research before commiting to print !!:wink:

Pretty sure Collins departed the very next day after EM was opened.

Right.

In that case, we should have heard by now.

I wonder what the hold up is.

:rolleyes:

Collins definitely quit a day or so after EM's was opened.

I liked John Collins whilst he was in charge however. Hibs should look away from old players and other spl managers. It seems like thief is a circulation of managers in Scottish football

Mixu- hibs then killie
Butcher- Motherwell then ict
Jeffries- hearts-killie then hearts
Yogi Falkirk then hibs

Fair enough they have had stints elsewhere they always fall back too same managers.

Might be me talking cack but seems like that too me

There is a bit of a manager merry-go-round in Scotland with some managers. McGhee, Mowbray, McLeish (although now in England) and Calderwood are just another few names you could throw into that mix.
I agree that we need a bit fresh blood and thankfully it seems like we're going to get it this time.

That's what a was looking for manager merry-go-round. It's a bit annoying cause their was the talk of Billy Reids name thrown into the mix. Not heard many more rumors what's the rumors being thrown around now

Yes he resigned 20/12/2007 .
Therefore he WAS at EM, albeit for only one day :wink:

That doesn';t detract from his lack of man management skills towards my two you rellies who were part of his squad beit at EM or Wardie Playing Fields :greengrin

"Fact are facts" like them or not !!! :agree:

and this from a chap that gave me good info ,just before the Mowbray departure, the next manager is ....................................Paul Le Guene if that's how you spell it. not read the previous 17 pages but i'm entitled to throw mine in the hat:wink:

oh dear!!!

i think youll find i said it could be done if Hibs had their man, clearly they havent and therefor, again as i said, will be going through the amount of applications.

There is also speculation that one maybe involved with the scotland u21's so clearly there could be no approach until today at the earliest, i also said it could be done quickly if need be IF they had identified their man!!!

Now if you would like any further explanation please feel free to ask away and for a small agents fee ill explain as your not really grasping it.

Your assuming it's not already done and dusted and they are just waiting to make the announcement.

Simply put, unless you have a contact at the club, none of us know squat.

I'm almost certain that it'll be somebody wearing a suit and a daft, slightly embarrassed smile while holding a scarf with HIBERNIAN emblazoned on it over his head.

I would have massive respect for the first manager who just refused to do this muppet media pose.

Have I said or done something to upset you?

I'm really not sure why you've taken such exception to my suggestion that Hibs will take their time to appoint a new manager.

I may not have got the process exactly right, but my point that it is more complicated than some would believe, is valid.

Particularly as you seem to agree with me.

East Mains had been being used months before the "official" opening with STF, RP and JC all singing it's praises.

Guy at work has come in and said that Dave Penney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Penney has been named by Forth One as the man to take over at Hibs - did anyone else hear this?

Must be true then. :wink:

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/footbal...6908-22630471/

Not a name that captures the imagination! After being linked with the likes of clarke i'd be pretty dissapointed if we end up with someone that left oldham due to falling crowds, although in fairness i know nothing about the circumstances surrounding that

Same guy that was with Hearts as a player?

Totally uninspiring and a big no thanks from me.

I can see why Petrie was drawn to the name on his CV though

The Weegie rag says "it's understood" that he's had an interview

Probably a sheer guess on their part then :rolleyes:

Think he was interviewed for the cleaning job in the FF.

Doncaster, Darlington, Doncaster and then thrown out of Oldham - NO THANKS

Not even played at a high level.

Small time manager. The players will eat him.
