....so Im hearing
It did before they edited the headline!!!!!
brilliant post mate.
I know there's all the stuff about giving somebody a chance and getting behind the new guy, but compared to Steve Clarke, Colin Calderwood is a dull, uninspired and ultimately hugely disappointing appointment. So let's not fanny about by trying to put a brave face on it.
It smacks of an unimaginative holding job, he'll clear out some players and bring in some others, but its hard to see much in way of progress taking place under his eighteen month tenure. At least the new east is high so the necks won't get as strained watching the hoofball.
Would be delighted to be proven wrong, but as they say, watch this space.
:boo hoo:
If it is COLIN Calderwood, I am shocked and VERY disappointed. The other Calderwood has a much better record in management. Colin Calderwood strikes me as a bit of a thicky, and we've already had one of them in charge very recently. But insults aside, he did not do a good job at Notts Forest, he was unpopular there, so why are we interested in him?
Petrie should not have been allowed to make an other appointment.
calderwoods....Pash
They had a chance this time to push the boat out a little and pay the wages to attract a decent manager. Im very under whelmed if he is the man. He has to get a chance though, like everyone else.
Just been reading what the guy said after Phil O'donnels death. As far as Im concerned I dont want a classless phanny like that anywhere near the ER, never mind the dug-out.:grr::grr::grr:
Why? did Rod win the lottery?
We pay to the limit of what we can already.
We've also seen that no matter who we appoint its what happens on the pitch that is the telling factor.
Guys like Collins, Mixu and Hughes were supposed to be exciting and inspirational leaders and have us playing exciting expansive football.
I don't think we can really tell what we will get with anyone until we get the guy in and he has a chance to get on with it. Even then as we have kept changing he'll also need a couple of years to get a team sorted out.
He has already got 2 teams promoted...Clarke is unproven and only ever been an assistant..perhaps he hasnt worked with Chelski etc but he has already got two teams promoted so he cant be as bad as some make out
Pretty apparent Calderwood was not first choice, Clarke was not happy at the wage offer and that is why he turned the role down....
If it is CC then it seems as though some have written his epitaph before he's even started.
We're all doomed I tell ye!
Strachen to be sacked and walk in to hibs job straight away:wink:
ok maybe not.
if, as the BBC seem to insinuate, Colin Calderwood wasn't good enough for the job ahead of John Hughes last time around, what makes the Hibs' board think he'll be good enough this time around? Just a question every fan should be asking of Petrie and Lindsey, who let's face it, don't have a great track record in managerial appointments on the pitch.
I would love to be proved wrong, but if Calderwood is the man, very uninspiring.
Cant find the direct quote that was in the Sun but
There was no minutes silence at the Forest game yesterday, and Calderwood said he didn't want a minutes silence/applause as there are too many nowadays and the fact that someone died in Scotland may have well been someone from Colombia who had died (pointing out that minutes silences should only be held closer to home.
