How the mighty have fallen. From Hibs captain to out the door in a few short months. Best move for both parties in my opinion.

**Hibstrooper** · 02-01-2011 11:13 AM

No big surprise as he has been totally out of the picture under Calderwood. Never thought he actually brought that much to the team so no big loss.

On the positive it looks like CC is trying to free up some space and money - hopefully that means players coming in.

I don't doubt you

Calderwood does not rate him at all.

***Golden Bear*** · 02-01-2011 11:21 AM

He played well for a spell last season - in fact about the same time as Liam Miller was at his best.

Neither have produced the goods since and it's now time to move on.

***Newhaven*** · 02-01-2011 11:21 AM

plenty others before him I would empty

seems unfair to me. How many games has he played under CC? While not a match winner he always brought out the best in miller by always making himself available for a pass. What options does miller currently have in midfield? Its no wonder he loses possesion so often

**hibiedude** · 02-01-2011 11:25 AM

It appears the clear out has started....... NEXT

Source?

i find this quite interesting, a lot of people said that Miller and McBride were too similar in style, i'm guessing and its only my opinion that CC is sticking with Miller, feels he can perhaps can get Miller back to his form that we all know he has.

The other thing that i'll watch is where McBride ends up, will he go down a division?

CC is moulding his team, fair play to him and fair play to him by releasing McBride early so the guy can get his career sorted out

Has he even played under Calderwood? I suppose that's the only strange thing as CC has given everyone else a chance or two as tries to find his best team but not McBride.

However he sees him every day in training and will have watched him bounce matches too. IMO He adds no attacking threat and I don't think he brings a lot defensively either. He's fine if you want to pass the ball back and forward or side to side in your own half but that's not what we need.

I can't remember him playing at all which is the strange part. What he does offer is making himself available for a pass and being able to retain possession which is everything we need right now

See post 13, last sentence..

Was told by someone who works at East Mains,that McBride was one of the players causing unrest in the dressing room and was seen as,almost Yogi's spy,cliping others players to the gaffer.

**fife hfc** · 02-01-2011 11:41 AM

I don't rate him so not too bothered that CC has released him.

just so long as they get emptied too though.

**Hibbie0762** · 02-01-2011 11:50 AM

I reckon that Calderwood's tenure as Hibs manager will be defined by the players he moves on and the players he brings to the club both in the current window and at the end of the season. Being realistic (ok, pessimistic), we can pretty well write off this season as regards any sort of success on the park. The best for which we can hope is to stay up and maybe start to see some green shoots for next season.

I recognise that the clearout is essential and has to start somewhere, but McBride? Given that both his and Miller's better games have been when they have played together, maybe Calderwood should have tried that out a few times first, even if only to give one or both of them enough rope. It is not as if some other players on the fringes have not been indulged with numerous appearances to prove themselves (Nish?

) since he took over from Hughes. Unless the justification is that McBride is one of the causes of the much-rumoured dressing room unrest?

Plus we hear rumours of Miller being off to Hearts anyway. If it happens, might be the next Paul Hartley, more likely be the next Brian Hamilton I suspect.

**Wotherspiniesta** · 02-01-2011 11:52 AM

I actually quite like McBride.

He was pivotal to our good start to last season. After he picked up his injury, we were never the same IMO.

Some people have quite short memories.

problem is, unless we pay him off he wont go anywhere as they aint capable of earning Hibs money anywhere else

I'd keep him, although CC might have better in mind, or McBride may have asked to go if he's not in the managers plans?

I'd imagine that, for the wage that we're paying him, he's not value for money.

No great loss.

How's Paw Broon doing, juggling the Aberdeen job along with the demands of the Bairn, the twins' nonsense, Daphne's diets, and looking for Gran'paw's wallies?
