No-one seems to have given any credit to him, but Rod Petire should be congratulated for fighting off 2 clubs with Premiership ambitions who wanted to steal our manager.
That's a real significant success.
So much for the argument that he'd bend over just to get compensation money.

Time will tell if it was the correct action. Very rare someone reaches their full potential when they do not want to be there.
All the behind the scenes shannanigans is likely the reason why we line up for our opener without a RB or fit striker.
If GOC plays up front on his own, given his fitness levels you are looking at maybe 60-70min out of him then what?

In the meantime you'll sit on the fence till it all unfolds before telling us whether he was right or wrong?

Football is about results on the park though. We are about to find out whether we were right to keep Calderwood and just where Petrie's stewardship has brought us...
I wouldn't want to be RP either.

According to Hibs statement, it was a flat out no. And an angry one at that.

In that case - no speculation and an angry refusal.
Clearly the current leadership hasn't given up then.

The speculation surrounds if there was/is a release clause then an offer of that amount would have triggered it and there would have been little Hibs could have done about it. Either it dosent exist or the amount offered didnt trigger it. Thats the speculative part.

Petire has successfully fought off two English clubs who want to take our manager.
The success or failure of the team is entirely a different matter, although, I'm certain the "Petrie should have got rid of him when he had the chance" posts are already prepared in the usual suspects' heads.

We now have a manager in place who is willing to commit his future until todays game, saying "things can change we just have to wait and see but at this time I am Hibs manager."
If ANYONE thinks that is positive they need help.

I'd give him credit if he was fighting tooth and nail to keep a good manager. As it is, he's fighting tooth and nail to keep another one of his poor managerial appointments.
Petrie should go now before his footballing decisions completely wipe out all of his good business decisions.Last edited by sesoim; 24-07-2011 at 01:39 PM.

And there are loads of better managers out there, even in the SPL, who could come in and do a better job. And on less wages.
Petrie is only battling to keep CC here because if he goes then Petrie looks bad again. That would be yet another mangerial appointment that hasn't worked out for the club, and that reflects very badly on Petrie.
