Credit to Rod Petrie

[Hibbyradge]

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.

[Callum_62]

"yesterdays man"

horrible insult.

[Bob Box Fish]

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?

Rod has rejected the advances of two Championship clubs for our manager. Whether or not that was the correct decision remains to be seen. We'll find out at the end of the season.

Pity he hasn't tried so hard to keep players that didn't want to stay..

Like fletcher, jones, murphy, boozy, brown who we knocked back bids for because the manager didn't want to sell them until it suited hibs?

Wasting your time mate.

He gets slagged either way.

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

Speculation. All he's done is admit he looked at two job offers - doesn't mean he wants to leave hibs - and in the past week has openly committed his future to hibs.

Speculation and again denied by the manager and the players. One deal has fallen through because the manager walked away from it, the other is on hold until paperwork gets done.

Speculation - Has he told them the compensation figure (if there was one) or was it a flat out no?

That's a real significant success.

In creating a bit of stability - yes. Only significant if the working relationship hasn't been harmed (speculation on my part)

[northgreen24]

if he let calderwood go we are a club rolling over backwards at the first sign of money. now he keeps him it is petries fault that the manager wants away and pertrie is yestardays man ???????

I'm sure there would have been some people praising Petrie for getting rid of a dud manager for a profit. There is never a consensus opinion and you cannot please everyone.

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.

I'm not speculating, you are.

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

I didn't speculate, I asked a question

In that case - no speculation and an angry refusal.

Clearly the current leadership hasn't given up then.

It was a flat out no.

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.

Rather than pre-judge the situation before a baws been kicked and proclaim it as a "significant success"? Yes, I think I'll stay up here on the fence...

You're confusing two issues.

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.

at least we've got a ******* manager...

I take ir this is a wind up ?


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.

He's not fighting them off he's holding them off until the right moment to get the maximum compo... He's a business man, he can get another manager...

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.

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.
