not sure about that, he did have a good reputation based of the youth system but i believe he took a lot of credit for what the coaches were doing when his main strength was admin work. ok for the academy but maybe not as our no.2.

How many top young players have broken through at smelltic recently?

Has he really improved their youth set up?

What has he achieved/what experience does he have, that warrants him being offered the No2 job at Hibs?

Can anybody shed some light please?

I'm genuinely curious as I don't know much about the bloke!:dunno:

Are you saying that he definitely took the plaudits for other peoples achievements to enhance his own reputation?

If this is the case, then I would be inclined to give him a wide berth.

We need someone who has lareday proved he can MANAGE. Not a number 2/coach/youth coach who might have an outside chance of being a cgood manager. Lots of assitants are rubbish when they take the reigns on themselves.

Hibs deserve a proven, experienced manager this time.

Couldn't disagree more, through personal experience I found John park very good with the youth, immediate commanded respect and very intellegent when discussing football and trying to teach kids about the game. Sure he wasn't really a bib and cones type coach but he knows his stuff.

Ran youth development at hibs then went to be head scout at Celtic.

Any proven manager will have been a failure somewhere or will only have worked at a smaller club, if this wasn't the case they wouldn't be coming to us so i wouldn't see that as any less of a risk than a young manager with lots of potential

I'll say it now! If we dont get someone decent like Clarke/Stark combom, and I've got a feelin it aint them, I be in tears. :boo hoo:

I'm 34 and I've had a season ticket since I was ten and I can honestly say that only under Tony Mowbry/Mark Venus have the Hibees really got me going and I would love for that feelin to return! The rest of the managers have been poor to mediocre at best.

I want a great appointment, it's what we deserve!

Initially i thought this too, but with what we pay, and our budget for team affairs i struggled to come up with any names that i thought we could get. So i think an ambitious No 2 like Clarke is probably our best bet.

John Kennedy that's not long retired from playing? You'd think they'd want someone with a bit of experience in the job?

comlpetely agree.

I don't want us to get a boring manager that'll steady the ship, have us organised for a while, get us to the top half of the league but dull as dishwater to watch, while i can see the attraction of that IMO the novelty would soon wear off and crowds would continue to drop, even with the odd 3rd place finish.

I want someone that could potentially be brilliant, get us playing good entertaining football and will probably move on to the premiership after a couple of years of success, to counter this i'd like his number 2 to be someone that could step in when he does move.

I realise to get the sort of person i want we're going to have to take a gamble on someone thats needing to get there break, we won't attract someone like that thats already in a job, for me a combination of Clarke and Stark ticks those boxes so i'd be delighted with them and be pretty gutted if we end up with a bog standard experienced manager that always been average wherever he's been.

Cheers mate. I just have a feelin that the Clarke/Stark combo will work really well and will take our team to the next level. Both of these guy's have earned respect by the fans and peers alike and I think if it's true that there taking over a new chapter will start for Hibernian.

People have been saying "tomorrow" for days now. I would like it to be Clarke but the longer it drags, the more I start to think it won't be.

Having played at Hibs youths that was looked after by John Park for a while (after Hibs stupidly punted Hugh McGorm), I have to say - I thought he was a right pr8ck.

Always going on how he was the one that got Mixu to the club...blah blah blah.

Very good of them but I thought they might have found him a job in hospitality or something - head of the youth academy at Celtic seems quite high profile for your 1st gig.

I thought that too. How old is he, 25, 26 maybe? He's also got zero coaching experience. Big job for him.

Would John Park return to Hibs anyway?

They took him on as a scout early in 2010 and must reckon he's showing promise.

I was told a few weeks ago that John Park was not happy at Celtic and would be happy to return to Hibs if the opportunity was there. I didn't think much about it at the time but it's obviously more relevant now.

I wonder if some of the posters on here have supported Hibs for very long. When Petrie has decided who is getting the job they'll announce it. If there's nothing to say you'll hear nothing.

I think we should bounce back and beat kilmarnock on Saturday and then Hearts hopefully Get beat against Aberdeen with both of us winning next week and We win Derby With first time at home Steve Clarke Would be a great game.

Not bad if we get both a Manager that Has great contacts and was assistance at chelsea winning league twice and at west ham with a chelsea legend.
And the assistance who produced the best game in front of the new East stand.

The past managers hibs and hearts have had have Mostly been Only good for one season i have great confidence in Clarke and Stark.

:scarf::scarf::scarf:

don't disagree with anything you say mate, but Clarke is just a rumour one of many in what has been an awfully long week and a bit. Starting to get the feeling that the Steve Clarke thing has snowballed out of control on the back of the fact the bookies have him as strong favourite. all i'm saying is like you i'm hoping it is him but don't get yer hopes up there could a few feeling a big anti-climax when we appoint the tea lady:greengrin
