No Calderwood?

**Hibee1** · 04-09-2011 03:55 PM

Was sitting behind the home dugout today and as far as I'm aware Colin Calderwood did not make a single appearence today. It shocked me to see he wasn't there to guide his team and support his players (Ian Murray especially!).
Anyone hear anything as to why he was a no-show?

**Franck Stanton** · 04-09-2011 03:56 PM

probably down South visiting his family.

Why - I would imagine Hibs gave him the weekend off to spend time with his family - but hey if people want to think something more sinister so be it.

***Keith_M*** · 04-09-2011 03:58 PM

Apparently it's because IM avoided him on leaving the park at the St Mirren game. CC has taken the huff and went to the Sweet shop instead.

Sorry, but for me the current manager should be there to support his currrent captain in his testimonial match, unless there was some sort of emergency I can't understand why he wasn't there.

**PeterboroHibee** · 04-09-2011 04:02 PM

Bit weird if he wasnt there. I know its not an official match or that but youd think he would want to attend the testimonial of one of his players. Who was managing the Hibs team?

***matty_f*** · 04-09-2011 04:04 PM

What is this fascination with reading sonething sinister into everything these days? I heard cc was on holiday. Not as exciting as him havong the huff with Nid, or about to get his jotters, or whatever, but more likely to be the actual explanation for his absence.

**Hibby D** · 04-09-2011 04:05 PM

I'm glad he wasn't there; a situation I could happily get used to

**shamo9** · 04-09-2011 04:13 PM

I thought he was

Didn't he pat Viera and Pires on the back when they came off? There was certainly someone who looked like him sitting on the left hand side of the dug out in relation to the East Stand.

The backside of the match programme also had him as manager of the current Hibs side that played today.

Sorry, but for me the current manager should be there to support his family rather than attend a non competative match. Im sure IM could get dressed and tie his boots up without assistance from CC. I can understand why he wasnt there.

**wearethehibs** · 04-09-2011 04:19 PM

I thought I saw him there.

Don't shoot the messenger but I was speaking to a journalist yesterday who spends the majority of his working life dealing with Edinburgh football and he's fairly certain (noises from the club and various other sources) that Calderwood is finished at ER.

**SanFranHibs** · 04-09-2011 05:20 PM

And a fiver for his kids?

He couldn't backdate it, could he?

**Deek01** · 04-09-2011 05:22 PM

CC is at his house down south, got a couple of guests staying and i'm told cooked them a very nice curry for dinner last night. Oddly enough a true story !

He didn't, but gave a loose indication of 'about a fortnight' for CC's 'mutual consent'.

This guy knows his stuff but this wasn't a '100%, nailed-on, going to happen' assertion. Sadly.

I really, really can't. If I was able to, I'd have started a thread as it's obviously a huge story, even to non-Hibbies.

Hence why I snuck it in here.

Apols.

Right enough, I've got a reputation for coming on here with 'pish' stories to 'wind up' readers.

"fairly certain" is a long way from being sure and leaves lots of scope for if CC is still at ER next week, or next month. Things arent great on the pitch so it's hardly a major revelation. IMO he will still be here till at least December unless he's thrown in the towel. (Not Richie)

From what I have heard would not be surprised by this - CC apparantley spends very little time during the week with Hibs and the relationship with Rod is not good at all, alot of bad feeling and horrendous management down ER at the moment and no shock that is carried onto the pitch by the team.

If its worth anything, I have a friend who works at East Mains, quite closely with the first team, who tells me a bad result against Aberdeen will be the end of CC. Tin hat firmly on.

Absolutely agree, I was just passing on gossip. If the journalist concerned had enough for a story, he'd go into print with it, obviously.

I'm making no claim as to the veracity of the story, except that this guy knows the ER beat very well and usually gets it right.

He'll [CC] be gone before the end of the month though, in my opinion based on yesterday's chat at Hampden.

Aye, Aberdeen was mentioned yesterday.

The journo I spoke to said CC will be away by the middle/end of this month.

If he does go he will have to walk as I cant see it being a pay off after all we have done in the summer and the amount of players he has signed. Doesn't strike me as a quitter though.

So we had a chance to get rid of CC and get some money for him, now when we eventually sack him we will have to give him compo. RP you are a legend - NOT
