It seems to be taking an age to get someone appointed. Surely the board would have been planning for this before Yogi's exit. The only explanation I come up with is that the first guy they wanted knocked them back or he is under contract. Its unlikely that the hold up would be a No.2 trying to negotiate his release.

Petrie get it sorted.

Would we delay announcing the manager because of a hold up getting an assistant? I'd have thought we'd be more likely to confirm that we'd got the manager and just say that his assistant would be announced in due course.

Unless the deal hinges on getting a specific assistant in place, I suppose...

This means someone HAS got the job.

I think he may hope that his "announcement" may have a positive psychological effect on his players, who are in the process of throwing away the championship.

Meanwhile, rumours which swept Edinburgh last night that a new management team of Steve Clarke and Billy Stark was about to be revealed are understood to be wide of the mark. Stark was said to have quit his post as Scotland Under-21 boss but it is understood that is not the case although former Chelsea ace Clarke remains the bookies' firm favourite to become the next Hibs manager.

Now is it the 'about to be revealed' bit or the 'team of Steve Clarke and Billy Stark ' that is 'wide of the mark' ?

Maybe we should just do an online hibs.net Rock, Scissors, Paper competition every week, on say a tuesday morning, whoever wins becomes manager for that week, If the team loses your disqualified from the competition for a month, if they win your instantly in the following weeks final, save all the hanging about waiting to hear, can you tell the waiting to hear is begining to cheese me off ?? :grr:

I got a email early on saying that this was going to be announced on Wednesday,source:Just a guy I know who gets some info from 2 first team players,but has been proven wrong in the past.
Not saying this is 100% correct but only passing message on

just watched the sports centre on stv they had interviews with all the spl managers. they all looked focused on the job in hand. my thoughts were that we can rule those guys out of the race.

As we've seen, teams often play above themselves under caretaker managers during that interim period between managers.

Based on that, should we just rotate caretaker managers every couple of weeks in the hope of going through the rest of the season unbeaten? Could be Alistair Stevenson one week, Gareth the next, Rod for a bit, etc

Would be cheap too so ticks Rod's boxes!

Unfortunately it appears that he just doesn't have the required acumen to be a good manager

A football club dressing room can be a difficult place to work in
It brings together a group of people of different educational levels , social upbringing and playing skills for a start.
It is essentially a team game and again certain players find that difficult to work round and it is the manager's job to undersatand the different pluses and minuses in a players make up and use them to the best advantage.
To be a successful football club manager must be one of the most difficult jobs around and I can never undersrand why any sane person would want to have the hassle of the job :greengrin:wink:

I personally would like to draw a line under the is he good/is he bad discussion as it has been done to death and would prefer to remember the man for what he has achieved on the football field

Sorry I didn't realise that Rod and the Board were keeping the players up to date. I thought Rod kept his cards very close to his chest during these negotiations. Obviously not, so thanks for the info and keep us posted on what else your friend is getting told please.

However I'd wager that even the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson is still working on his man management style and his playing squad will no doubt have benefitted from his many, many years of experience.

It's a pity that JC's first Managerial appointment was with us and I'm still of the opinion that he has what it takes to be an excellent Manager one day.

According to the "mighty" Chick Young "Hibernian have spoken to former Chelsea and West Ham assistant Stevie Clarke and Scotland Under-21 manager Billy Stark, with a possible partnership between the two, BBC Scotland's Chick Young informs us. If you see any other out of work managers looking on from the main stand at Easter Road let me know."

A good manager will always seek to improve no matter what job he is in and Sir AF is a good example.

It's now 6/4 Clarke and 2/1 Calderwood.

I'd rather Jimmy Calderwood than Colin. Seriously.

I concur, though hope it is neither and that negotiations are continuing with Clarke and that Petrie stumps up the required 5 grand a week.

Calderwood's statistics as a manager don't stack up too impressively though he seems to be doing ok as assistant at Newcastle. I wouldn't want to have to pay compensation to the Geordies again after the last individual we had to pay them for!

Also his comments about the minute's silence following the Phil O'Donnell tragedy didn't go down too well.

If it's between him and Clarke then please let it be Clarke.

Just a whisper yesterday that's already been mentioned on the bounce that Clarke had agreed 5 grand a week with RP only to come back woth his agent and be told the 5 grand was for him and his assistant. May well be pash but then again would anyone be overly shocked if it were true?

It could be that Clarke is OK about coming but that the SFA are being awkward about Stark.

A wee bird suggested that Stephen Glass, who has all his certificates and is now training at East Mains, might be a suitable assistant for Clarke.

Cannae see it myself - Clarke 'n Stark, fine.

But Clark 'n Glass doesnae rhyme.

Obvious, I'd have thought. :rolleyes:

Can't imagine RP making a schoolboy mistake like that. It will be pish.

Disnae have the same ring to it.

Could have Avram Grant and Peter Grant - the Ugliest Management Team in the World.

They'd pay for themselves - 'grant'-aided, we'd be.

I'm away. :greengrin

Today's Daily Express has it that we've made official approaches through an agent to Shamrock R and Bohemians about Michael O'Neil or Pat Fenlon. Asking about compo at this stage. Also says that Fenlon is the one the Board want. :confused: :confused:

I think its looking increasingly likely that someone has turned us down??? :confused:

don't believe Rod will be into paying compo especially since there are good managers available without clubs. Hibs will aslo be forking out for Yogi and Rice.

Whatever, whoever comes has not got an easy job. Inmy view Yogi shot himself in the foot , talking too much rather than working in silence !

manager and number 2?

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?

Serious business serious process with likely a number of candidates
Incidently how long did the board take over moggas appointment? Is that not the benchmark?
Rod seems to me to be keeping everyone on their toes - that way he keeps his options open and demands will likely be tempered if the folks really want the gig

Not sure id be happy with that, given Starks last job pre u21s was Queens Park having been punted by St Johnstone and Morton. Happy for him to be assistant but no the top man.

It does seem that folk are prepared to believe every piece of speculation that appears in the press. They know nothing.

Tony Mowbray was announced as manager on Monday 24 May, but I have a feeling that Hibs will wait till tomorrow at the earliest, if indeed they have got their man, just to get the weekend's games and aftermath out of the way.

That's just speculation though, too.

This is fun.

Please don't shoot the messenger! I reported what is in today's paper, that's all. Never said I believed a word of it (hence the :confused:). For the record (or express or sun) I don't believe what is printed in the press when they are speculating about Hibs. I wait for confirmation on the official site.
