Doubt it.
Aged 57, he would fall into the "mature manager" category and did a decent job in keeping Crystal Palace in the Championship despite the severe financial problems they had.
Could be an English equivalent of Craig Brown when it comes to managing meagre resources.
I have to laugh at the delusional beliefs of some on here regarding the Manager's job at Hibs being a sought after job outside Scotland.
The SPL in European terms is a diddy league and the likely salary being offered will at best be viewed as modest, and that being the case, beggars can't be choosers :duck:
just passing on the information.
the call i got was willie mcstay with an assistant from ipswich who is hibs daft. looking at the ipswich website it would seem it is ian mcparland.
tony mowbray springs to mind? dont think he was ever in betting for hibs job. when he was announced remember it being a total shockQuote:

Months later a wee downer? Naw Alex, the 4th place was achieved during an abysmal run lasting 8 months, when we were playing *****, and our 'promising management team' did bugger all to change or arrest the slide.
Not my first choice but wouldn't be too unhappy about this TBH. Reasonably successful and experienced manager with an OF mentality. Have heard nothing but good things about McParland - Hibs manager in waiting perhaps - for when the smellies come calling.
My thoughts are that you have not been reliably informed!:wink:Quote:

anyway, na this guys not really what i had in mind - no real pedigree but maybe we could get him as a coach. hes probs just using this to get himself in the public eye imo.
p.s. do you think he wrote that wiki page himself?
Saw him coaching the celtc reserves against us a few seasons ago and took an instant dislike to him. I didn't like the way he set his team up or the way he treated the players and officials, I thought he came across as a total p**** TBH.
Of course that could be just the team he was with that made me think like that. It doesn't take much to get me annoyed at anyone involved with rantic :greengrin.
Doesn't fill me with joy at first glance but I realise that its for the pettiest of reasons. If he does become Hibs manager I'll revise my opinions immediately - I AM that fickle - and the above complaints will become evidence of his winning attitude.
Heard fantastic things about his coaching ability from a few people now, really highly rated. Guy in my work knows him too, thinks he'd be a success for whoever gives him a chance.
Wouldn't be adverse to the idea if true :agree:

Not doubting this pair could be at Hibs, but our board do not move that swiftly and neither should they. The board will allow all the interested parties to apply before making any decisions. Who knows exactly who might fancy taking on the Hibs job. If there are two things you can say about the board, it is that they have loads of experience of going through this process (successfully or otherwise) and secondly that they have very rarely made a quick apponitment, in fact the only one I can think of was Franck.
FFS WTF! Better not be! Absolute PASH!Quote:

Hopefully there won`t be a quick appointment and literally hundreds of managers will be being considered but Petrie will presumably have been looking since about March and especially in last 2 months not just in last week . Just hope he didn`t have some informal agreement with Calderwood to take over .Quote:

And why the constant links to Celtiic-associated folk every time we have a vacancy? It's bad enough employing useless ex-Hibbies.
Glad to see you're no sitting on the fence when it comes to the tinks:top marksQuote:

I think anyone that blabs about wanting the job to the meeja will immediately be out of the running, given Hibs liking for keeping things quiet until there is something definite to announce.Quote:

Update on Paul Hart in the Daily Record, backed by ex Falkirk goalie Scott Flinders who said despite being sacked by Barnsley for failing to lead a promotion charge from League One, the 57-year-old can be a success at Hibs according to Flinders.
He said: "As soon as he walked through the door at Barnsley he got the utmost respect of all the players.
"He's a really strict manager but a nice guy as well. He had an unlucky time at Barnsley but I really rate him."

I'm not saying these names haven't been linked but I haven't seen or heard their names reported in the media.
I'm salivating, in a heartbeat, wages would be the problem, please please please, get it sorted Petrie, not Hibs class etc.
I don't know how true it is, but if it is i'm quite happy at the quality of people who are apparently interested. Hart/Clarke/MacDonald. These are football folk way above the standard we normally seem to attract, and I'd be happy with any of them.
That's just the usual kind of bollocks you get out of players when a caretaker is in charge. Its code for "don't bring in someone else who will probably bin me".Quote:

If you really believe this why not pop along to your local bookies and put your mortgage on it or any other money you have. Never heard so much drivel in my life, although there might be mileage in McParland you never know.Quote:

I'm most sure that football managers don't like to be idle.
They are junkies to the adrenalin of competition, half time, winning, bouncing back after a defeat and being seen to show how good they can be when up against it!
Who knows - we may get lucky!
Sbragia would be amazing.
I'd imagine someone briefly mentioned or suggested the names on here, papers will have it as "in the running" the next morning.Quote:

There has been some media talk about this. Mc Stay has managed at Sligo Rovers (where he won domestic honours) and Ujpest Doza (Hungary). He has spent 15 years in between coaching Celtic reserves and youth teams. McParland has extensive coaching experience (Notts Forest, Ipswich) and managed Notts County for two years.
Not sure as to the link between the two?
Both McParland and Mcstay are friends. I do know they have both applied separately for the job.
Time will tell and may be wrong, just passing on information.
For what its worth i would prefer Steve Clarke.
See post 270.Quote:

Williamson brought through Riordan,Brown,Thompson,O`Conner and Whittaker. If bringing on young players is the only criteria for the job, maybe we should ask him to give up on Uganda and come back.....!!!! :rolleyes: Paul Harts managerial record in England is abysmal and that should be the only consideration.Quote:

as the thread states guys mo johnstone as new hibs manager how would u feel?
Has plenty of contacts in america and is looking for a job
I'm sure we're the only team he's wanted to manage, Mrs Johnston.
He used to spend a lot of time in Edinburgh when at Rangers, as he was not welcome in Glasgow.
Also was an ex Hearts player.
I'd say there are 2 chances none & no effin. :greengrin

mo johnstone
Not had time to read through the whole of this thread, but just in case, the Evening News today is giving Kevin McDonald a mention as a possible choice.
Saw this reported elsewhere. No danger we'll pay Villa the required compo for a reserve/youth team coach from the Premiership, so a non-starter unless he walks or is allowed to walk having been overlooked for the top job.Quote:

:agree: MacDonald for me, good record with youth; good knowledge of up and coming players from premiership- dont know if compensation would come into it though- will he not be an employee of club(salaried) and not on a contract like main managers?
No way to Mo Johnstone. He is gash as a Manager and evaluator of talent. He was in charge of Toronto FC for 3 seasons and our support is the best in the MLS but the team is rubbish.
The film director?Quote:

I've got a wee sneaky feeling that Billy Reid is one of the front runners and he could well end up as our new Ayatollah.
Then i stand corrected. :agree:Quote:

So I don't think all the credit for Deeks, Brown, O'Connor and the rest should be laid solely at any managers door, there's the managers that gave them their debut's sure, but it's the coaches that worked with them for years prior to that that deserve the majority of that credit if you ask me.
Not a rumour, but what about Paul Dickov? He has the lowest budget in the 1st division and has brought up Oldham to 5th. I've no bias but he learnt his football off my gable end.:thumbsup:
If he DID get the job, I would remind him off what he called me every time I complained and would expect compo tickets every game. Yes Paul Dickov for the job and I'll change my user name to what he used to called me .... Mrs Mangell
:thumbsup:
no for meQuote:
