Tony Mowbray anyone ?

[Eaststand]

Even before yesterday's disappointment, it seems that we continue to stumble along with a style of play, and team selection/tactics that simply aren't working.
I've been patient in waiting for Yogi and his backroom team to get it right on the park, but it's looking more and more as though it just isn't working for them.

We need change and we need it soon before the slide continues any longer.

If I had to pick a new manager to take us forward, I'd go for Tony Mowbray to come back and get us organised and also playing decent football again.
TM had an excellent record of bringing us in good young players at very little cost from other clubs, and IMO the team that won us the cup was TM's team
Yep, TM left us to go to try his luck managing WBA then onto the Tic but he'll have learnt from those experiences and will now realise that the grass isn't always greener elsewher etc etc

Rod, you've got his number, make the call

[Phil D. Rolls]

I'd have him back at "the football club" in a flash.

[hibeeleicester]

Wages.

[Betty Boop]

He will be at Middlesborough shortly, when they get rid of Strachan.

[.Sean.]

There's no chance he'd come back, plus if he did I think he'd see us as a short-term fix until someone bigger comes in for him.

[The_Todd]

He's shown he'd be willing to jump ship mid-season before and he'd do so again.

Also, any manager who manages to take a big budget team like Celtc to St Mirren and lose 4-0 probably isn't worth going back to.

[Eaststand]

Aye, you might well be right about that BB but would he turn down the chance to manage us again to wait and see if Boro come calling...I dunno and I'd love RP to test that theory out.
As for the wages issue that some-one else raises...he's currently unemployed and managing us surely pays decent money

No.

[col02]

Did anybody happen to catch Celtic last season on television? They were honking and with a far greater budget than Hibs yet they could not beat the same teams week in week out that we struggle against! I still back Hughes as I think it takes longer than one season to get your ideas across. That said some Hibs fans are not renowned for their patience due to our glorious record of success in the past.

[Eaststand]

That may be true Sean but lets face facts here, any manager that takes a non OF team to a decent level in Scotland catches the attention of other clubs down south, so TM wouldn't really be any different, BUT he's tried that and might well decide to do a longer term job on raising the standard at Easter Road and that would do his CV a lot of good too...it's a win win for us I reckon bud

Have you forgotten his after match huddle with the spin offs on first game back at ER. No fing way would I take him back.

Yogi must be given time this constant changing is no good for the club.

[Judas Iscariot]

No thanks..

Dicked us right before a derby then pulled the huddle in the centre circle at ER after the game..

**** him!

[M11BMO]

No chance he'll ever be back at ER. Celtic was a job too big for him. He'll be well suited to Championship football... And he'll do well, wheather it's at Boro or another club. IMO.

[banarc7062]

Add me to the "yes" list. Yes he jumped ship to try the big leagues but as has been mentioned he has gained surely from experience. When he was our manager he was a total novice but had us playing entertaining football and if that was on offer again then I would certainly buy that season ticket I nearly got at the start of the season. Also I would think wages for a Hibs manager will exceed any dole money. At this time we have nothing to lose.....except perhaps a man who could again bring exciting football to us once more. Yogi has unfortunately demonstrated that he has very limited man management skills. Come on Rod, give it consideration and try a 'phone call to test the water. GGTTH

[California-Hibs]

No thanks, i'm quite happy with John Hughes as our manager.

[FromTheCapital]

I'd Mowbray back anyday !
I like Yogi but he's not the right man for the job....... Sadly.

Is that a "maybe" then???

FWIW, I'm a firm no no no no.

If we're going to hypothesise re: former managers, I'd take JC back before Mowbray

etc etc etc

[HibbyAndy]

Id have him back in a heartbeat.

[The_Todd]

Oh, and I forget, his walkout happened not long after agreeing his new contract which hadn't yet even come into force before he took off.

TM's not on the dole yet. Still receiving his wages from Celtic.

[Bostonhibby]

not for me, few lucky breaks early on, seems to be on a similar downward track as the likes of Alan Pardew and David O'Leary, for example, where the hype never matched the ability. likely to be all downhill until they end up on talk sport..............

And as a PS, I dont buy any of this having to move onto a bigger club crap, bombed at each of them.

[snooky]

I'd rather have Tony Nobody than that Janus back at ER.

[The Silver Fox]

Although he would be an able replacement should Yogi fall by the wayside, his CV although damaged by his time at Celtic is still too attractive for Hibs to be a realistic option for him to consider. Even if he did money would be the obstacle.

[Alex Trager]

Personally i think all these people that want rid of yogi are wrong and i believe the board are in this for the long run.i think we'll get it right soon and then everyone will be forced by me to take a massive slice of humble pie....the man needs time and can only work with what he has.

Lets hope its fairly soon then or we can switch the lights out.

[Eaststand]

I'd be delighted to have to eat humble pie if Yogi gets it right, I would really love Yogi to get it right but the evidence seems to be that just aint happening and I'm worried about the results we've had in 2010 and also the way we play

I reckon time will probably be up for Yogi in the next 2 months and the board need to start making plans to suss out a suitable Manager to take our club foward

Amazed Boro didn't approach him when he was at Hibs.

But his dismissal of us as a club when he was at Celtic rules out any chance of a return. Until Christmas he wouldn't even refer to us by name.
