    Would you have Tony mowbray back???

    With all the anger pointed at Yogi would you consider a return by Tony Mowbray?
    He would now have the Training facilities he always craved and he had us playing some attractive football using our younger players to good effect. Those dienchanted by Yogi could do worse than consider Mobray's return.

    In a flash if we were looking for a manager. The football was a joy to watch.

    Exactly what I was about to type. The question is whether Mowbray would be tempted to come back with the current squad? One of the things that brought him to Hibs was the youngsters we had at the time.

    I wonder if he can be bothered working with some of the jaded pros. we have turning out for us at the moment?

    His 'huddle' in the middle of the pitch at ER when his Celtic came and won 1-0 at the start of last
    season really put me off him. But would I take him back now over Yogi? Probably but that is more
    of the fact I think Hughes is not up to the job rather than a great desire to get Mowbray back.

    I have always been of the view a club like Hibs should be appointing young, hungry managers but
    perhaps we need an 'old hand' in charge for a few years to bring back some stability.

    in an instant. for all his flaws he knew how to lay a team out and make them play to win and win well. Those where the days when i was counting down the hours to kick off.

    For as much as I admired his stewardship and some of the signings results and the philosophy
    Tony will live by his principles perhaps to a fault
    And for any potential new suitors heed the
    When opportunity calls answer at the first ring

    Hibs v Dundee Untd semi-final?

  14. #13
    I think it would be an outrageous spend to have two managers in the dugout, plus, surely management decisions would complicated if two managers were making them

    NAW! Remembering that the heart of his team were kids that came through from the youth set up like Thommo, Brown and Whitty. Not to mention O'Conner and Riorden. Yes he made one or two decent signings but we never really set the heather on fire with him at the healm. Anyone remember a certain semi final?

    "I need to get out of the goldfish bowl of the SPL "
    ,dont get me wrong we played some cracking football under Tony but I think hes went backwards since leaving us .
    Cant understand why he left West Brom who wanted him to stay ,and join the unwashed ,where if the truth be told he spent a fortune and made a complete fanny of it ,so no I wouldn't take Tony M back

    F*** Tony Mowbray !

    He was lucky at Hibs. Blobby had blooded most of the youngsters before TM arrived.

    No thanks.

    If he came back I wouldn't be disappointed but we need an older head at the minute IMHO.

    the huddle angered me to be honest, he showed us as fans and a club complete disrespect that day. he said it was to show the fans unity after a hard game, if i remember right they had a fair few hard games but he never joined the huddle again.
    so its a no from me

    No thank you as the defence would be worse than it is at the moment with him in charge. I find the irony quite astonishing that many would welcome Mowbray back a man who walked out for a bigger job and salary yet in a similiar thread Thomson would never be welcomed back for doing the same as Mowbray.

    I'd rather have John Collins back if we are going to look all misty eyed into the past. I think it would be hard to listen to TM after some of the things he said and then went back on. I think his time at celtc showed that he is not a manager who handles pressure well.

    George Burley would be a better shout for the Hibs job, I'm sure he would love to get it right up vlad.

    The football aside Yogi has faired not much worse than anyone else at Hibs and I think he will get at least this season to prove his value, so all this talk of new managers etc is premature IMHO

    Definately, my only worry would be how much being at Celtic hurt his confidence. This will never happen though. Hibs next manager should be someone with experience. Im sick of bringing in people because they were an ex player or whatever. Imean Mowbray was a massive gamble that paid off in the first place, I wasnt too happy when he signed, but I thought wed have learnt our lesson from Collins yet Mixu and Hughes have came since.

    i a heart beat, imaging with the squad we have just now. with a manager who can get us playing fast flowing attacking football with width !!!!!!

    brown
    hart, bamba, stephens (mogga never really played hogg), murray(C)
    wortherspoon, miller, de graff, galbraith
    riordan, stokes

    mogga likes wide midfielders and on our new bigger pitch it makes sence

    I'm sure you're not inferring that hypothetically you would welcome back Bobby W in preference to TM as manager.

    You're not, are you??

    TM was good at Hibs because we had a good team.

    He would do nothing with this crop of s***e IMO.

    If anyone was to come back, it would have to be JC for me. The Bible apparently says he's gonna do that
    sometime anyway?
