New Pars Boss (merged)

[scott7_0(Prague)]

Not great news for Hibs that he as taken over at Dunfermline until the end of the season. Our relegation dog fight just got tougher in my opinion.

He will have the Dunfermline Players right up for a relegation battle

[JustSimplyHibs]

With Jim Jeffries the new Pars boss am a bit worried he will hit the ground running straight away, putting more pressure on Hibs.

Still a long way to go i know and reckon relegation will become a 4 way race between St Mirren, ICT, Hibs and Pars.

Mon the Hibs :pfgwa

[Billy Whizz]

0-7 and 6-2 is all that needs to be said

[southfieldhibby]

you cannae polish a *****, dunfie are rank rotten

[vanNISHtelroy]

If we were really up for a dog fight we might just get out of the mess we're in. As it is, I'd describe our efforts as more of a puppy fight. Fat Jim will have Dunfermline up for a battle, and, while I think that we are marginally better than them, I think it will go to the wire. It'll be interesting to see where Billy Brown's loyalties lie in the next few weeks.

[The Sea-gull]

Weeks ago, even without a new manager, I felt Dunfermline would beat St Mirren on Saturday for their first home win of the season. Even more certain they will now. Will be difficult for us to be Utd with our home record v their away record so a draw may be the best we get on Saturday.

Can see the gap being 1 or 2 points come 5pm Saturday and that would really crank the pressure up. With Utd away and Hearts at home for them after that the good thing is I can't see them picking many out of that though maybe Hearts will chuck them a win! We have ICT away and Well at home and don't see us getting much either. Only going to be a point or so ahead, if not level or slightly below them by split I fear.

Good thing is, as another poster has alluded to, ICT and St Mirren could yet be dragged in to it. Though with a game in hand, a win against us may be enough to see ICT clear.

[Lofarl]

Is this the same JJ who near got Killie relegated? The same JJ who took the super Hearts on a mega 15 games without a win? If it's that JJ we have nothing to fear from that fat waste of skin.

What's the betting that Hibs vs Dunfermline will be at Easter Road on the last day of the season of the split to see who's stays up

We will already be out of sight by then IMO.

and 5-1.

[IFONLY]

I think people are forgetting one thing Dunfermline are rubbish and we are slightly better. It wouldnt worry me if Sir Alex took over we will still be above them.

Couldnae care less. He's had no impact at all since he came to Hibs. I expected him to create a siege like mentality that they seem to have had at Tynie for a good few years. We're still powderpuff.

Personally, I donh't think the relegation battle's anything like over yet. And Jefferies is just the mnan who could make a difference to them.

I share Scott's gloomy prognostications.

[GreenCastle]

Should make things a little more interesting....

If the unthinkable was to happen though

If we stay up we can always sing the cheer up Jim Jeffries song once again

[Malonga's Cat]

It certainly adds another dimension to the relegation battle. It does mean when we stay up, it will be a little sweeter knowing that we rob Fat Jambo Jim of an SPL job. I can't even say the alternative outcome though...

[DH1875]

Think it's a dodgy one for us if I'm honest. Can see it going down to the wire and could end up even coming down to how the fixtures fall after the split.

[AlbertK86]

I'm hopin he takes BB with him as all you ever see him do is moan and groan. Never seems to encourage anybody. Bad for morale in my opinion

100% agree. I couldn't care if Brown went in all honesty.

[Northernhibee]

I'm a little nervous about this. Fat Jim will know if he drops us, he'll be a hero to those mutants again.

Concerned.

[The_Todd]

YAS!

A chance to relegate Jim Jeffries.

Love how the Yams are creaming themselves over the prospect of him managing the Pars, they seemed happy enough to see the back of him when Sergio was appointed.

What's BB done since he came in?

Bitch about the players behind their back, look like a sour faced git on the sidelines and told reporters that O'Connor is a cheat.

JJ can have him.

I really hope your right, but even poor teams get a lift when a new manager takes over, so it will be interesting to see if there results will improve, even just for a short period of time which is what the Pars board must be hoping for.

If I'm honest I have went from being quietly confident we would stay up to being a bit concerned now, when you look at the opportunities we have had lately to open up a bigger gap but failed, thats a concern. We really need to start getting results at home.
