The New Manager Mega Thread - Please Post Rumours In Here

in all honestly - he loses a couple of matches and he'll be the scapegoat jambo ******* and the last thing we need right now is more of our fans calling for the new managers head after a few matches..

altho i do rate him at club level, with a bit more support (from VR) and a bit less alcohol :greengrin who knows what the JT's would of achieved that season..

what worry's me, every name that has been put forward there has been fans saying "no chance" which means unless there is someone we have missed some of our fans ain't gonna be happy.. , understandable however as it's been a tough time and we all want whats best for the club

i have my favourites (southgate, scala, rioch) and my no way's (calderwood, mcpherson) but will be happy even if it's somewhere between

How many more stupid threads like this before we actually get someone in!

I know the telly is crap but please go and get a good book to read or something!

**** off Tarquin..

Has the Oxford water caused delusion...

Daily record says he has applied with quotes. ticks all the boxes for me- experienced at a good level, has turned struggling clubs round and must have good contacts.

one of the more intriguing candidates for sure.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/hibernian/2010/10/07/former-porstmouth-boss-paul-hart-and-german-boss-uwe-rapolder-are-shock-candidates-for-hibs-hotseat-86908-22614840/

I'm not sure what success, if any, he's had as a manager. Got a very poor Portsmouth team where he couldn't do anything with them, done nothing at QPR and I'm certain he's been at 1 other club. It might just be me but I don't get how people can possibly rate him.

Have spoken with Ian McParland about him a while back.

Pumper was his number two at Notts Forest for a while.

I don't want him.

His record.

Make your own mind up but I think we can do better.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hart

Excellent cv as a youth coach, hasn't done anything startling as a manager though. Might work though as we have a few decent players coming through again who just need a run in the first team.

There will be loads of them every day.

No thanks. Clarke or Scala for me - although it seems that the Scala thing won't ever really materialise.
Mowbray would be my 3rd choice.

Id take him in a minute good pedigree and would get the best out of the youngsters

Hart doesn't have an excellent record as a manager but every club he has worked at recently has been in turmoil.

Portsmouth- Always going to be hard to follow the success of Redknapp and the club where already in trouble when he took over from Tony Adams. Money problems, players sold from under him, no manager could have done a job there.

QPR- Interefering owners and one of many who has failed in that job recently. Warnock seems to be doing well at the moment though.

Crystal Palace- Helped keep them up against all the odds depsite a 10 point deduction. Deserves credit.

A highly respected coach and might just prove to be a decent manager at a club that has some kind of stable footing. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed where he to get the job.

The quality of some of the folk being touted on here as serious candidates is laughable.

Any chance of a link to this story? Too tight to buy the paper and to lazy to find the story as only got internet access on my phone, cheers

Why is this guy even a possibility? He has achieved absolutely nothing in the game. Oh but he coached in England so he must be good.....:rolleyes:

Interesting polarisation of views as ever. beefster, if he is laughable who rises above your derision?

His record is very poor. No thanks.

Hart certainly has plenty experience as a manager and may be what we are looking for. :hmmm:

Another interesting candidate from the same article below.

Meanwhile, ex-Cologne boss Uwe Rapolder has also expressed interest in the job.
The German has managed a host of Bundesliga 1 and 2 sides, including Arminia Bielefeld, and has also coached in Switzerland.
He believes he has what it takes to get Hibs challenging again at the right end of the SPL table. He said: "I've heard a lot of good things about the club. They have good young players and I believe they can compete with the likes of Rangers and Celtic if they're given the right direction and mentality."

They're putting their own names forward mate :confused: Scala has come forward and expressed he's interested and so has Paul Hart. I fail to see how this then makes these two candidates 'laughable'
Explain..

I read a comment posted after the article about hughes getting the bullet on the scotsman online. Some guy calling himself sir brian something or other who was a qc from hanley on thames had said that George Burley had agreed terms with hibs, but Crystal Palace weren't going to let him go.

I find it hard to believe that George Burley would be looking for a move considering he only started at Crystal Palace in the summer. I think it was probably some ****bo leaving a stupid comment.

I am sure Burley bought a big house in the Grange when he was Scotland manager that he probably still owns. Plus his daughter is married to our current club captain Chris Hogg so his family will be around him and maybe he has made his money and wants a job in Edinburgh to live in his big house and be close to his daughter.

Cannot see it happening but stranger things have happened!

http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sp...ong.6570200.jp

nope

http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sp...ong.6570200.jp

Join the queue, roll up

No, dear god no :bitchy:

Don't know how probable Burley becomig the next Hibs manager would be but after his recent stint as Scotland boss, I wouldn't want him anywhere near ER.

Interesting. Plenty of experience, none of it particularly relevant. I'd prefer to go for someone like this than one of the Scottish guys mentioned.

Hottest job in football...

His international achievements are pretty good actually.

basically, anyone who touts themselves to hibs through the media won't be in the running.

Not a chance he'll get the job.

Tried the JC method of making the players fitter and healthier by attempting to get rid of the drinking culture at Ibrox, didn't work did it, maybe we need simeone with a more strict regime to fitness.

This thread is so stupid, only pictures of chimps can give it any credibility.

Currently in talks with AEK Athens.

Like I said may have come from one of the less credible sources, but that said some of the names thrown into the hat on here in the last few days have hardly been credible either.

Would have thought It would have been quicker to read it and ignore it than load the site with stupid pictures x 3 :dunno:

Seems like everyman and his dug are throwing their names in the hat for this job. Think seeing as I'm out of work at the moment i may aswell make up a page for myself on wikipedia and fire in a CV :agree:

I'm really surprised at the negative response to Paul Hart on here. This is a guy that stabilised the ship at Forest and had a young team playing very good football. It was only after he left that I think Forest fans realised what the had.

He has a great reputation as a coach and has steadied many clubs down here. Often he has lost his job not because he was crap but because new owners came in and wanted a higher profile name.

For me this would be a great appointment for Hibs. This is a guy that I think would do a good job for us. The only negative I can see is that he wouldnt know the scottish game inside out. However put him in with a good staff who do and we are in business.

Saying this guy hasnt done anything in the game is bollocks. Check your facts guys before spouting guff.


PS He's not my dad by the way.:wink:

He looks malnurished (cant be erchied spell checking)

Like Paul Hart a lot, could do a hell of a lot worse than giving him the job.

I thought the pictures wer pretty good.

I'd agree.
He must have lots of contacts in the lower divisions of the game down South and if we're looking to clear out more than half our squad that sort of manager would be needed.
IMO he'd also be more likely to hang around than some of the younger names being bandied about.

:agree: I think he'd be a good appointment, he'd certainly have good contacts and will know the championship and Premiership reserve scene well. To me he has a better CV than Mowbray had when we appointed him. If he wants the job, we could do a lot worse imho.

I doubt very much that Hibs will pursue the "names" touting themselves for the job! They are putting themselves in the shop window by acknowledging their "interest" and if approached, will expect to name their price and playing budget. I think Hibs will only interview managers that apply directly to the club, stating their expected wage and playing budget, and therefore allows RP to pick the candidate that appeals most. IE discard all the high salary and playing budgets managers, and accept the "I'll work for nothing to prove myself, bring in players through my contacts, and develop the youth players already here" brigade. I hope I'm wrong and we can attract someone who is moderately successful and willing to stay a while if he is successful.

Anyone who might even remotely have a claim to having achieved something, anything as a manager/coach in the last decade.

Paul Hart has lost more games than he's won at every single club that he's ever been at. Even worse is his record in his last 4 jobs which, if replicated with Hibs, would see our support demanding his sacking within six months.

If a potential manager is quoted in the press, you can rule him out immediately. Ro-Pe likes absolute discretion.

Carlos Bilbardo hasn't uttered a word about the Hibs job, that's who I'm watching.

In the early 19th century, when boxing was particularly popular, anyone who wished to challenge a boxer would throw his hat into the ring.

This was probably necessitated by the crowds and noise at such events; you'd be missed if you simply tried to shout out a challenge or push your way through the crowd and into the ring.

John Hamilton Reynolds used the term in 'The Fancy' in 1820 and this is reported to be the first recorded use of the term.

Wouldnt be disappointed with PH, Cant see it tho, But certainly would be happy with him at the helm.

Agree Calvino. The thing in Scotland just now is that all the coaches are trained the same way and all do the same courses. We need to try a little harder and think a bit here. May work, may not but the alternative is Gus McPherson or Tango man, who would probably keep us safe but thats about it.

He's been the manager of Nepal I see...

It'll come in handy given he's got a 'mountain to climb' with Hibs!








I'll get ma coat!

Just what we need - a nobody that has spent the bulk of his career managing in that much feared football stronghold ...........................Cyprus

Once a first team coach at Millwall - Wow, hold me back !

What an earth shattering CV he's got

Take it the Evening News are struggling to dig up a credible Hibs story of merit
