Out of curiosity, who was the favourite when Hibs threw a curveball with Mowbray?
I suspect speculation was not at the levels it is now, but I cant remember much about the lead up to Mogga coming.

Not towards the end, anyway.
Now all we need do is establish the "Taxi Rank" rumour... :greengrinQuote:

I'm pretty sure PC Stamp was there and will confirm all this.
Why "rightfully"?Quote:

Tangoman isn't in the frame.
The big issue here is that Petrie cannot afford to get this wrong again, the risk is too great, first division looms, he needs to cough up some decent money for a good manager even on £5000 a week that only needs 1000 extra supporters at the home games to cover it, If a good manager gets this team playing well then the increase in crowds will more than pay for the guy.
Well i am guessing if anything was going to happen today i.e a press conference we would of heard about it by now???
:agree:Well, agree with 2/3 of this.Quote:

Stark - definitely, with or without Clarke.
Is he back yet? or are the rumours true that the clarke deal is dead.....Quote:

It's far too easy to scream "cheap option" etc when we actually haven't a clue about the factors which led to a decision to appoint any given manager.
Edit: Re Stark. Did you see the way the under 21's played last week. I'd buy that for a dollar.
What rumours are there suggesting the deal is dead (or alive) for that matter?Quote:

Thanks in anticipation.

we can't afford anything other than a 'cheap option'.
I know that if he's a success that'll pay for him, however, thats a gamble and is that not what Dundee are getting absolutely slated for?!
Someone posted on here that they had a verbal agreement and petrie went back and told clarke the wage on offer was for him and an assistant, clarke seemingly told him to bolt.Quote:

Hibernian have made official approaches to find out how much it would cost in compensation should they appoint Bohemians' Pat Fenlon or Shamrock Rovers' Michael O'Neill as their new manager. (Daily Express)
Not sure I would be happy with this considering the calibre we have already been linked with,but as I say,it was just on the gossip site
I heard from a relative of an ex-chairman about 30 minutes before Mowbray was announced that it was either Mowbray or Andreas Brehmer but there was definitely nothing on the public forums on here or the Bounce as I recall checking to see if anyone claiming to have 'contacts' had come up with it.Quote:

very very good source :thumbsup:
My brother-in-law heard form a mate who was a mate of Mowbray's 1st wife's brother* that he was getting the job. He told me on the Saturday or Sunday but I couldn't get a bet on it.Quote:

I've no idea what John Park is like as a coach but he's just been Celtics chief scout so hopefully he'll have a decent amount of contacts, Billy stark might actually be a decent shout as manager, he could be the older head the clubs been crying out for because we've been an absolute shambles the last few years.Quote:

I would suspect if you walked into a Bookies to put cash down on a complete unknown 100% outsider they may well suspect you know something and say no!Quote:

If its the same John Park I am thinking of,he has been at Dundee Utd and also Hibs,and was credited for coaching the youngsters during both clubs better years,im sure he was with us at time of mcleish and mowbray,and they could not speak higher of the guy if i recallQuote:

Well he was there when we produced the 'golden generation' and since he left there's been a lot less breaking through into the first team...Quote:

Clarke has walked away, source unknown, decent but is not always 100% correct.
Clarke is booked into a Hotel for Monday, source, poster on the main board, backed up by PM poster.
No chance of Hibs appointing Clarke, source one non playing Hibs employee.
Scala now back in the running, source third party, from one of the keepers.
Clarke will get his second interview this weekend, he is in town
Anyone who rhymes with Park or Stark or Clarke said to be in the running
Pat Fenlon and Colin Calderwood also quoted.
Basically no-one knows anything. Other than a few posters who have about 7 previous posts coming on and telling us what they heard in a :taxi: or got on a text. Almost certainly Yams on the wind-up.
Big Tony took a Celtc team to St Midden and got beat 4-0. We've got to move on - he wouldn't have anywhere near the quality of player available to him this time round IMO.Quote:

If we are still in the hunt for Clarke I have to believe they will agree the deal before Saturday - say by Wednesday? If it takes much longer then they must be looking elsewhere. I am just trying to take a punt at the timetable. Clarke comes back today, final negociations, tell press contacts that a decision is made - then a press conference. If Clarke knocks them back, which is possible, then who knows what the date will be.
Tad harsh I think,I know when he was at Dundee Utd he stole a lot of guys from under hibs and hearts radars when the boys were with tynie bc or hutchie.And it was a coup for hibs to get him as he had the contacts and he got the youngsters to Easter Road.Then he left and the conveyer belt of stars stopped coming to us and went to celtic.As you say,he has not coached top side,but as a number 2,he can spot the talent to get them in door....imhoQuote:

Don't worry, the more names you post up, the more likely it will be that you were right and then five years from now someone will say 'I told you about xyz before it was announced' . They just won't tell you that it was their sixth guess at who the new guy was going to be.Quote:
