Should've taken the 25/1 when it was on the table, god damn it!
I was happy taking it at 12/1... But why has it been held-up I understand delaying it til today or wednesday due to the Scotland Under 21's if Stark is the assistant but why delay it so much further... Hope hes working with the players already if this is all trueQuote:

Hibs are very, very good at keeping these things under wraps. We've already said we're not in a rush.
As for Stark being #2 - that was a rumour started by someone on here, who had a 'gut feel' FFS!

Not anything being reported in the Scotsman or EEN about a new manager either they know nothing or they know that an announcement is close.
I think they know nothing. :greengrinQuote:

Wiki can be just as bad as football rumours. :wink:
The quicker something is announced the better, we have a huge game against Killie on Saturday...I know its only October, but this is a huge game already.
Something a mate pointed out to me years has always stuck in my mind tho...when teams empty their manager they always seem to win their next game...so maybe next Monday will do! (just joking)!
So from people in the know....
Clarke could be unveiled in a press conference tommorow? Am or Pm? :greengrin
He could be. :wink:Quote:

Is that Donkey Dave McPherson?Quote:

One thing for sure. It will be a massive disappointment if Steve Clarke is not appointed after all the recent speculation.
Fingers crossed the RUMOURS have some substance to them.

I got told at the weekend that Clarke would be appointed early this week. It is now past "early this week".Quote:

Im sure Clarke was on 500K per year at The Hammers, doubt he'd take the wage drop.
Bit more than that. He was on £1,258,400 a year. I very much doubt he'd come to Hibs. He must price himself way above what we can afford.Quote:

How much is he on right now? Is he likely to get a 10k a week contract anywhere in the EPL.Quote:

That'll be that then!
So, he's got (alot of) money in the Bank. And he's not working in football currently and will miss it.Quote:

In our favour we have; a reasonable profile, a track record in developing and selling talent for a profit, 16 players out of contract (which must be a HUGE plus) an excellent training facility and a modern stadium/great pitch.
He will know that if he were to do a good job with Hibs then he can step up to the EPL or the CCC and the big time, but he has to start somewhere so why not with us :dunno:
In reality - an agreement would be reached and it would be nowhere near the full amount remaining on the contract.Quote:
