    How can you replace a manager who is still in the job and has the full backing of the board?

    Even Hibs can still surely afford a tub of lard?

    I couldn't see Jeffries at ER. He's Jamboid through and through and I'm at a loss as to why Romanov booted him out. I'll give Sergio half a severe winter and he'll be off like a shot. I honestly woudn't be surprised to see Jeffries back there for a third spell come February.

    If he lost the board's backing between the NF / BC interest and now then they have dropped the ball big time. Why would they turn down $$$ only to then be faced with the very real prospect of firing him and get nothing back in return? Based on that alone I think he has the board's support.

    Fairplay, from what I have been told he certainly does not, and RP is not happy with him. I stated this previously and was shot down, but it is a forum and everyone has views which they should express. If it is true then would potentially explain the atmosphere at the club at present, strange times and as usual the fans and supporters are the ones who pay the ultimate price.

    I don't think he has the Board's support as much as the Board's desperation.

    JJ would be a decent appointment. Nothing better than havig a Jambo lead us to Scottish Cup glory and shut the mouths of those who used to adore him

    I think the board have backed themselves into a huge hole. They apparently seem to have backed another dud, one they could actually have punted for decent money only a couple of months ago.

    Now they couldn't give him away in a raffle, and will probably imo have to pay him off very soon.

    Another shocking managerial appointment from those in charge down easter road way.

    On the bright side the law of averages states...

    Except the law of averages dont seem to apply for us these days - more like below-averages.

    Well, if and when Calderwood becomes the absolute liability he is fast shaping up to be, I hope they will be 100% out the door behind him.

    I think Calderwood still has the total support of the Board.
    For how long only results will tell.

    I'm surprised that the implication is that we hire 'cheap' managers though.


    Very surprised.

    Those in charge made an error in apointing him and an error in keeping him, 2 things that they surely cannot survive from.

    Suppose the board would argue that it is still early days depending on how large a job they think CC had to do following Yogi's time here (something they alluded to very publicly when making the statement about CC staying at Hibs in the summer), and on how much faith they have in CC to actually turn it around. Playing devil's advocate here, because I'm not certain CC is anywhere near good enough as things stand at the moment, but the board see at close quarters what CC is all about, if there are differences being made in a positive way about the club because of what he's doing and changing that will ultimately manifest themselves in a remarkable and more importantly sustained turnaround in results and performances on the pitch, then they'd have a very strong case for giving it the big GIRFUY to those that are clamoring for change now.

    As things stand, the case against CC remaining in charge for very much longer is far stronger than that supporting persevering with him - but he has talked about rebuilding the club and putting his stamp right across it. If he is as good as he thinks and says he is, then the end should justify the means and we will look back at this period as nothing more than a poor prolonged start to his time as Hibernian manager.

    Failing that, he will be forever seen as a failure by Hibs supporters. At the moment, it looks very much like the latter outcome is the most likely.

    I think he'd be much more expensive than that, though free is probably closer to our budget!

    We're no needing a tactical genius with the group of players we have.

    We need someone with the slightest bit of motivational nous to get the players fired up and battling.

    FFS, I'm not unconvinced that I couldn't do better than CC at this point. Get the players wanting to win, get stuck in during the games and we'll pick up points.

    CC is ****ing hopeless, tango man would only be an improvement. I genuinely think that CC is worse than Duffy, if he revealed himself as a lifelong yams fan at this point I wouldn't be surprised.

    Honestly, anyone. Even Yogi again. Please, please, please let's get rid of this useless fud.

    I'm sure the last incumbent was accused of talking piffle virtually every day. CC came out with this cracker at the start of his tenure. We should have recognised the bull right from then. This joker would struggle to build a bridge out of lego.

    Have we ever had a manager who's managed to alienate himself from the Hibs support as much as he has?

    What has he done, just one thing thats gone towards trying to galvanise the club? As i'm struggling to see anything?

    He cant go quick enough for me.

    It's not a case of affording its a matter of time IMHO.
    RP will know this.

    The question I have is who much would it cost to get
    Relegated. Too much.

    If we don't get a result on sat then for me that would be that
    And CC's position as manager needs to be addressed by the board

    1 win in the last 11 or so games is relegation material.

    We need a change and a motivator someone with a plan a b and c etc

    think I am going on sat as just along the road to see wot they can do
