Only two real candidates

[Comiston Hibee]

JC just shades it for me over another returnee, Mogga

We don't want to risk another mediocre appointment

Only other possibility for me would be Strachan, bit he's a bit of a fanny.
All may think that they should be operating at a higher level but they wouldn't be.
Mogga needs to realise that Hibs are a better option that 'Boro.

Terry Butcher for me

The John Collins nostalgia on this website is nothing short of baffling.

He was garbage.

This

and this as a nice wee side order and a reminder of what he wanted

Things didn't work out the way any of us would like but to call Collins garbage is ignorant I'm afraid.

Didn't know Barca played in green & white - oops, wait a minute......

[Brebners Bookie]

I wouldnt have thought either one of the 2 in the OP were candidates.

Strachan for me.

[Springbank]

Strachan
Collins
Billy Davies
Mogga
Michael O'Neill
in that order, for me, in the internet world of MoneyNoObject etc

I agree with the guys defending Collins.
Next time anyone wins a cup final 5-1 (following a derby win en route, with 81% possession ie total domination) I'll look for the "Manager Out" headlines shall I???

[SmokieJoe]

Terry Butcher or Michael O'Neil, TB has great man management skills and has proved he can work to a low budget and still unearth gems, Adam Rooney as an example.

anyone got a link to the second video which has commentary?

[Cameron1875]

JC did have us playing good football and i think if anyone was going to turn the club around and have us as professional as possible then he would be the man.

However his transfer record can't be ignored.
Obrien
Morais
Antoine-Curier
Kerr
Nouboussie
Joneleit
Ghettusi (sp?) were never going to be good enough players.

He also talked about wanting naismith, robson etc but every hibs fan knows that asking us to pay 1 mill + for a player aint gonna happen with petrie or any chairman.

[Nando™]

Mowbray can take a running jump. He got very lucky with the players we had coming through at the time he managed us, and his ineptitude was proven when he had mediocre players at Celtic and could do nothing to change things for them.

That allied with his disrespectful huddle at the end of his first game back at Easter Road. In my eyes, that day he became just another one of them.

Does anyone really think Mowbray might leave Middlesborough (team he supported as a boy, much bigger crowds than us, etc, etc) to come back to Hibs?

Butcher for me.

MON for me and will try and gets odds on this today???

Will do. Not sure if I will get odds but heay nothing ventured!!

FWIW dont want Collins back But if Strachan is not available then I would gladly have MON as our next manager.

Just had a wee shufty on one of the irish league forums and i noticed some ppl were saying that Shamrock rovers fans have been calling for his head!!??

[Iain G]

Why the clamour for Michael O'Neill, what has he done, other than play for Hibs, to warrant our managers job??

Sounds like some bah humbug from their fans as they know wot is coming. Did he not win the league etc so to diss and saying he is cack is sour grapes.

Lets face it do we think Strachan is going to take the job...dont think so and Jose is no available so that leaves MON top o the list IMHO.

It was not Shamrock fans it was other fans talking about it, in fairness they did also say that Shamrock had the most fickle fans however.

I wouldnt want Strachan in honesty as has been mentioned by a few ppl he doesnt do well with out money to burn. I do know he has been sounded out about the job in the past though, just before Mowbray was announced they were trying to get Strachan.

As for MON, i would agree he has worked on a tight budget and put together winning teams. My only concern is (and some of the more knowledgable posters may need to correct me here) looking at Shamrocks history is winning the league with them like getting 1st or 2nd with the OF?? Which apparently anyone can do, just look a the shaved monkey at Darkheid for reference???

[Cropley10]

Now that Calderwood has failed it's time to go back to appointing ex-players as Manager. After MON we've got Danny Lennon to look forward to?

If MON gets the job it shows just how clueless this Board are, he wouldn't be getting quoted if he'd played for Hearts, rather than Hibs. Are they treating us like mugs? I don't want to hear another manager telling us about how excited he is at being back.

I think the facts are older more experienced managers aren't interested in the Hibs job, so we play the ex-player Manager game instead. Speaks volumes IMHO.

[Kevvy1875]

Billy Davies? I know some don't like him but would do for me.

Jim Mcintyre...worth a punt?

John McGlynn

I take it you guys weren't at the cup final?

[down-the-slope]

Butcher was my shout before CC. However I get the impression he has a total free hand in running team affairs - not sure he would be prepared to fit into the coach only role ER works....and might only be prepared to do this at a much bigger club....

(in fact he may be hoping Ally is not so super at Ibrox and he then gets that gig)

JC aws very good - but its madness to think having walked away that the board would re-sign him

[Gala Foxes]

Mowbray would'nt come - plus I will never forget the shambles of a lead up to that Hearts Semi which he oversaw - he really exposed himself big style talking down the game so much that we were beat before we got to Hampden

Billy Davies is a moaner - he makes Bobby Williamson sound positive

I would take Butcher, would also take J C if he was given a proper chance & backed by the board ( unlikely i know )

It'll be good enough for our Board though, they're football knowledge is limited to what they talked about whilst on the Killie Edinburgh supporters night outs.

Not one of them has any credentials better than the average season ticket holder

[HibeeMackenzie]

are there any bookies taking bets on our next manger?

[offshorehibby]

MO'N could be a good prospect down side is his experience. Can we afford to take the risk. The safe option would be butcher. Strachan & Davies probably couldn't do the job without a big wad of cash & Davies would be off at the drop of a hat.
McIness must have something, he's been on the short list of a couple of jobs down south but again, if he dose a job in the first season he'll be off as well.
