John Collins (merged)

[Thief]

Interesting tweets from Patrick McPartlin, Scotsman regarding rumours in media circles that John Collins would be interested in return! I'd be very surprised but pleasantly so :-)

Need a hell of a strong number 2. I have no doubts that his long term (footballing) plans were sound but was too easily chased out. He needs help identifying players too

[SteveHFC]

Please be true

[Cocaine&Caviar]

It'd be the dream for me. Especially if with a director of football above him

Yes , as it would show the board were prepared to back him this time , throw in a director of football to help with the signings and that would do for me .

[surreyhibbie]

Would be very surprised indeed.

Could be interesting though...

Tommy Craig DoF?

[greenlex]

No chance. He walked away.

don't think we're in any position to judge.

plus, he has to be the most attractive man who has ever lived.

Maybe his recent return to ER has made him realise that this is his home. Maybe he burried the hatchet with RP?

One note of caution though.......Yogi has recently been spoutin off about joining forces with his mate JC as a management duo.

[Hibbyradge]

Not for me.

Anyway, it won't happen. He will neither want the job nor be offered it.

[Russian Hibs Fan]

Too good to be true.

[The Harp Awakes]

Would be a very emotional return for JC.

Would love to see him back. Maybe STF might even offer some investment in the squad at the same time

[Diclonius]

No thanks. People seem to forget how dire we were near the end of his tenure and that he was heading for the sack anyway.

Absolutely spot on
Thanks but no thanks

[Green forever]

Can't see it happening tbh but I hope whoever gets the job has his philosophy on fitness, whatever his shortcomings were, we were one of the fittest teams if not the fittest in the SPL. In my opinion it was that level of fitness that got us through the League Cup semi against St Johnstone.

Absolutely, his signings were murder. Team wasn't that good either, he just got a good run in the cup and folk think he is the saviour!! JC is not what HIbs need. Would much rather JJ than JC if I was honest.

Would love him to come back, if he kept BB as no.2 I think that could be a very good partnership.

Tommy Craig DoF?

I appreciate you are probably only jokin about Tommy Craig but on the subject of him.

As far as i'm concerned he was a problem that held JC back. He had too much influence on him IE AOB for one. Once he was interrim boss we were absolutely diabolical.


Think JC will have grown into his own man, would do things differently in the way he treated some of the players and still has the potential with his football brain and vast playing experience to be a superb manager.

Sadly I very much doubt either him or He Who Must Be Obeyed would be prepared to work with each other again.


Will keeping hoping however

[keep the faith]

I know he told someone at murrays testimonial celebration he would come back in a heart beat - if Things had changed.

Still think we should go for MON though.

[ScottB]

Sorry, but on the Calderwood thread, where people are saying he has no chance for his veiled comments about the Board in the media, why is this JC any different?

Sorry but, he may have won us a cup, but results were going South when he left and he signed some of the most over paid huddies we've had in recent times, and that's saying something. Sure, he had the player revolt, but that showed his lack of man management skills as much as it showed the players in a bad light. When things got tough instead of coming out fighting, he took his gagging clause and left.

More than anyone else he really seems to attract a lot of green tinted glasses! He's had his chance.

[DC_Hibs]

Not sure this would do much for our frailties in the centre of defence as Kevin McCann's no longer available to be moved in there.

He signed some p!sh as well........

I made that comment and I agree with you.

JC has no chance.

[James70]

Although JC has many great qualities I don't think he is cut out for the demanding role of manager.

Also his previous history as No.1 would be a lot of baggage to carry

He still has little managerial experience and is not the man to dig us out of the mess we are in.

[lucky]

Hope to god he is nowhere near Hibs again. Twice he has left us. He is only interested because no one else has gone near him since some no mark Belgium club. A big no from me

[Judas Iscariot]

Yes!!!

More Kerr's, AOB's, Maka's, MAC's, HKT's, Noubissie's, Morais' etc..

Wooopeeeeeee

Can't believe any hibs fan is actually willing to put their name to that sentiment
