Calderwood (merged)

[Mark79]

Can't see him lasting much longer. Either him walking or getting the bullet.

We need new players in asap to stop this.

[H18sry]

Give the guy a chance he is playing with somebody else's cards.

[hibsbollah]

But Nishy wasnt even on the pitch


Calderwood gets until the end of the season.

He has had a fair shuffle though. Seen all the players he has and still can't get a decent team together. Hee haw signings imminent to change it.

[HibsMax]

On one hand we have fans calling for the board to stop changing the manager every 5 minutes, give the team some stability. On the other hand we have fans questioning how long the new manager has after only 5 minutes.

I'm not having a go at anyone but it's obvious that the real answer is not so obvious. People have different opinions.

My opinions are:
1. we need to stick with ONE manager and give him a fair crack at the whip before we send him packing.
2. we need to invest in the team.

There's no point in replacing the manager if we keep the same players.

No it doesnt, this is Hughes mess that we are seeing unfolding before our eyes.

I feel sorry for Colin and I must say I agree with the OP. He wont be here much longer I dont think.

Why you feel the need to stick up for the man who has put us in this critically bad state is beyond me though.

Well, he was here for 10 year the last time before he did the honourable thing and resigned.

That group of players finished 4th last season and at one point we were dreaming of finishing 2nd!

Clearly we've found out it's the players! Hughes team, Colin can only try different things, I hope he can bring in a few solid signings

No but all I hear him saying is how hard it is to make signings yet we sell someone very easily.

I'm not sure anyone suggested Yogi's interviews contributed to us being crap

His tactics weren't great but by far the biggest problem was the squad he assembled. I think it's fair to say we can't judge CC properly until he can move on some of this dross and bring in his own players.

[Delboy4]

Better managers have been given the sack this week..! Keane & Hogson...

After today, Hibs will have to think very hard where CC is taking us as a club.

If we go down, we lose a shed load of money so why not pay him off and get a bigger name in to claw us out of this s*ite.
You just need to look at Aberdeen, they have spent money they don't really have by getting Brown & Knox in who probably didn't come cheap - they are now scoring goals again!

A big question also is what type of player will sign for us playing the way we are?

Our board are at fault and have to get it right the next time, if not, we are going to be as bad as we were back in the 80's.

It is not very good to be a Hibby at the moment - Saturday nights are pretty ****** at the moment.

Rant over...

Lucky when you win, pish when you lose?! It wasn't after Christmas BTW that's a myth - it was mid-February.

[Golden Bear]

The common factor is the really *iss poor playing squad - the buck stops with them.

We've not got one player whom I would consider to be a LEADER. They're all *loody shrinking violets none more so than our so called experienced players.

Hibs; the team with supporters who want a manager out after a dozen games or so.

Nothing less than instant success is good enough.

Is that not after Christmas

[PaulSmith]

Must now have the worst record ever, is that 2 wins since he was appointed by the couple of 'non football guys' Petrie and Lindsey.

Sometimes. Other times it's 9 1/2 months before Christmas.

Instant success? I'll be happy if manage so stay in the league this season.

[sesoim]

Calderwood will go in March if we are bottom. The other (better) Calderwood will arrive shortly after and save us from relegation.

But what if we have apponted the wrong guy again? Petrie is really the guy to blame for appointing him. He failed to do the research and ignored other, better options.

Any fan with half a brain knew Calderwood wasn't successful or popular in England, plus he cost a lot more money to employ than many decent candidates in Scotland/currently unemployed. I was shocked when we appointed him and I'm not surprised this run has gotten worse.

Petrie has failed abysmally yet again in the most important role he ha to fulfill - employing decent managers.

The Dons were in a worse postion than us a few weeks back but Pa Brown has turned things around quickly for Aberdeen.

As for our Manager he has to be given longer to get his own players in and that will take time.

We need to take a step back and calm down, we are still in the cup, there are loads off games left in the SPL And Hamilton and St Mirren will be the ones fighting relegation.

CC Got a bad hand yes, but after 12 games come on the man has not had a chance, a couple off wins like what Aberdeen have done will make all the difference.

There will be signings in January and lets hope CC Has good conections down South and will bring in 3 or 4 off his own players to turn it round.

He needs time.

Far from it. I think most of us would have settled for instant mediocrity if it meant survival in the SPL. Mediocrity seems to be beyond our team these days.

The Dons had a good crop of youngsters who needed to be developed and its plain how the players have responded they did not want McGhee there therefore easier for Brown to make an impact.

We have guys who are there to pick up a salary and nothing else, they don't know what personal pride is never mind what the clubs means to the fans. The quicker we get rid of 50% of this lot the better. Then we can judge Calderwood.

Totally agree. Don't expect us to be world beaters by now but some form of improvement surely.
