"It's understood the 46-year-old has been interviewed at Easter Road as the club seek a successor to John Hughes".

Isn't it a relief to know you're not the only one who thinks "Who?:confused:"

I'm with the rest of you....RP's interviewed him out of respect for his surname :greengrin

I wouldn't worry, he doesn't stand a chance now that the news has leaked.

I hope that theory doesn't apply to a certain other candidate!

For all we know, Hibs could have sent Tam McCourt to interview him. There's nothing to suggest that he was interviewed by RoPe or Lindsay.

I think the directors would do the club a disservice if they didn't explore every avenue open to them with regard to the new manager, whether the candidate is small time or otherwise.

We know that someone looking like Steve Clarke has been seen in a certain hotel with Scott Lindsay and Garry O'Hagen and we know that he's the bookies favourite, in many places you can't even get odds on him now.

Ultimately I think, that the candidate that impresses the board the most and accepts the terms on offer, will be the new manager of Hibernian.

Let's see what transpires.

Dave Penney

:hmmm: With theTache's accountancy background and leanings - he may well have been interested in speaking with this guy as "if you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves"!

Erm! no ta, totally uninspiring if true, a definate lower division manaher who'll be there most of his career, if true then looks like Rodders is after the cheap option yet again and the club will go downhill fast.

If and thats a big IF....he has been interviewed then sorry this is not the calibre of manager I want at ER.

If RP puts someone like Penney in charge then our already half filled stadium will be emptier than ever.

He knows this and needs a name to fill the hotseat to put bums on seats. I do realise that there is a lot of paper talk but I would like to think we would be able to attract the likes of Clarke, Hart etc to ER.

Cannot really see anyone being appointed before the weekend but hopefully early next week.

Do you mean the stadium would be half empty even if this guy was appointed and did a really good job?

We don't necessarily need a 'name' as manager. We need a manager who will get the team winning games. That will put bums on seats, whether people have heard of them or not.

I'm fairly sure people didn't rush out to buy tickets when Tony Mowbray was first appointed :wink:

I'm sure most people would happily settle for a winner that they've never heard of before rather than a loser that they know.

While i dont want him, he's a well respected manager down here. His teams play great football and i think he'd do a good job. But he played for that lot, and i'd prefer Clarke.

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

:agree:

No, he didn't.

As someone has said a bit earlier, that was Steve Penney and we are being linked with Dave Penney.

I think and hope that it will end up being Clarke but we could do a lot worse than Penney (and he never played for Hearts)

He did a fantastic job at Doncaster, bringing them out of the Conference and then two further promotions and is still considered a bit of a legend there. I remember him leaving Oldham, he had just picked up MOM and was sitting near the top of the league, it was a bit weird and nobody knew what was going on, they brought in Joe Royal to try and appease the fans and they just fell away.

Either of these two would be very good appointments imo.

If RP grabbed this guy between his thumb and index finger, would he be classed as a Penney pincher? :greengrin

You only have one for your whole office!! Jeez that's rough, i thought every good Hibby was entitled to one Yam each to do the cleaning and other such ****ty jobs - don't let them near your food though!

I have just been informed that the office Yams are not for my own use they are actually humans. Well you learn something every day!!! Still not entirley convinced though!

Mmmmmm, the penney drops - the Tash will get both - in for a penney, in for a pound.

Hibs seek talks with Villa coach MacDonald

From Tribal Football via NewsNow

Quote:

Hibs are keen to speak with Aston Villa reserves coach Kevin MacDonald about the manager's job.

The Scot was Villa’s caretaker manager after Martin O’Neill left and before Gerard Houllier sorted out his starting date.

MacDonald, 49, has gone back to his job as reserve team boss, a post he has held for years and where he has overseen the rise of some of Villa’s best kids.

But now he may be ready to make the break and take up a manager’s job in his own right. His name is on the shortlist at Hibs, who lost boss John Hughes after a miserable start to the season and are looking for a top replacement.

I would welcome Kevin macdonald as hibs new gaffer.

1 he is scottish
2 as reserve coach he will know how too lookl at our reserves and youth squad and Know when a player is ready for a chance. This will allow some more youngsters too be brought out the academy
3 the dedication that the villa players gave macdonald show that he is a respected person within the dressing room.

Think he would be a cracking appointment

pretty sure he said that after his spell as caretaker at villa, he wouldnt be a manager again, didnt enjoy it.
