Still no Asst Mgr?

[WhileTheChief..]

Still no news on an assistant manager I presume?

I was thinking about this earlier and was wondering what CC can do all on his own.

If we accept that there's no fight or desire in the team and that we have too many players that don't give a damn then backsides need to be kicked.

We've been saying the same thing for a good few years now and yet there's only 2 or 3 of the same squad remaining from when the unrest appeared to have started.

Is the problem maybe the coaching staff? Do they make things too comfortable?

For the vast majority of Hibs players this will be the highest level they will play at in their careers. They should appreciate how lucky they are to be here but instead seem to take it for granted.

When this lot are emptied I hope we bring in some real hard working experienced professionals or youngsters with the desire to perform then move onto even bigger things.

In the meantime maybe it's time to have a clearout behind the scenes and for CC to bring in a whole new coaching setup for the first team?

He is finding it hard to find one with the money that is being made available to him. Petrie wont stump up, and he wont pay off the others.

[smurf]

Obviously we have to be realistic but if this is true BoltonHibee then I am slightly concerned. However, I would have imagined that as part of his negotiations with the board prior to his appointment this would have been covered?

I wonder how Petrie will justify this if we are relegated?

He appears to be accountable to no one when it comes to football matters. His managerial appointments are testimony to this.

Do you honestly think being in a job for such a short time CC would tolerate this?
He dosent strike me as the type.

[johnrebus]

It would not surprise me if CC is back on the phone to Chris Houghton asking for his old job back.

I really wouldn't blame him if he did.

[marinello59]

Hasn't CC already said that his original intention was to appoint somebody else who knows the Scottish game and then he realised that he would be getting exactly that from Gareth Evans and the rest of the existing staff?
Or did I imagine it and he really said he couldn't appoint somebody because of that tightwad Petrie?
Maybe the simple explanation is there is no rush really.

If CC is as stupid to negotiate a job without even discussing staff then he is not the guy i am told he is. Very disappointed if true.

Presumably you mean 'RP won't meet this candidate's current wage demands', rather than 'RP won't fund an Assistant Manager for CC'?

There's a big difference between those two statements.

99 times out of 100 a manager will bring in his own man. He has been there, what 3 weeks? Do you not think it is very strange that this has not yet happened?

I would not have thought that he would have tolerated this, but then again maybe he was only concerned with his own salary

As far as I understand he took a drop in wages to come here.

Well I can tell you that is complete fabrication. He has increased his salary 3-4 times coming to ER. Hard to believe but true.

[Kaiser1962]

His reputation is that he is not a guy to mess around with and, having been looking to get back into management, he would know exactly what he's doing and have steps clearly marked out. If he has not appointed an assistanr till now I would think this is by design and maybe he's having a look at the whole set up.

He must have shat himself when he saw that shower of gutless pansies.

How do you work that out? Say he is on £2k a week, you saying he was only on £500 a week as an assistant manager in the EPL.

Hey mate, good speaking to you on at the weekend again.

My usual contacts tell me he has someone but that this person is not available at present (talks ongoing) and he is willing to wait. I think this is sensible as he should surround himself with people he trusts as clearly the last few managers have failed on that basis!

This season is embarrassingly a right off already - end off!!

We won't go down - we won't finish top 6 - we won't make a cup final.... As hard a pill as it is to swallow (especially for the season ticket holders) this season will drizzle out to nothing come February time when the league shows us that unbelievable as it may seem just now, there are worse teams than Hibs in the league.

That's beginning to sound like it was part of RP's player/ coaching staff transfer policy this summer after having gone to the expense of 'releasing' a few players in the previous summer window of 2009.

However, RP might well consider releasing a few players in the January window when the cost of doing so will be down to 2- 3 months of salary rather than the 6- 7 months that may well have been needed in August.

Coming from an Assistant Manager post in the EPL, that seems remarkable.

What are we talking about here? £60k pa there to £200k pa here?

Remarkable, absolutely. Mike Ashley has really pulled the reigns in at NUFC. You are not a boot in the ba's away with those numbers.

at the end of the day nowt is gonna happen before january (with or without an assistant manager) and they lazy bassas we call our team will make sure of that.

[Toaods]

There was a skinny, bald guy sitting in the back of the dug out. Never saw that at the game and I'm only 20 feet away, spotted it on the vidclip. Noticeably in CC's 7 minute interview on BBC website he answered a question as 'we' but the inference was the new we and not Garth or Stevenson.

[greenlex]

The skinny bald guy us John Hendry. He is our new fitness guy. He took the warm up. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gareth punted at the seasons end once CC and JH are vfamiliar with the rest of the teams in the SPL with Stevenson concentrating on the 19's.
