    Natural progression really

    Hibs - class
    Livi - industrial
    Hearts - pub team

    Not according to the Beeb. Their story is that Evans was punted and Collins resigned in protest.

    Director of Football? Run the training centre?

    East Mains just doesn't seem to have contributed enough, could the man who resigned the day after it opened come back to save it?

    Fair play. Just heard they were away. He's a hell of a man for his resignations

    Livingston's board of directors are unbelievably incompetent.

    I suppose this goes with the pattern of previous boards of directors at Almondvale who have subsequently driven fans away with their ludicrous mismanagement of the club, be it financial, personnel or downright incompetence on all fronts.

    I'm sure Rod Petrie is grateful that Collins hasn't went on to prove Hibs wrong in letting him go.

    Indeed. Fair play to JC for walking; an honourable chap. Shurely no-one can have a go at him for that?

    Man of principles is JC


    However poor decision to give Evans the job... Suspect he was just a front for JC anyway

    John Collins was tasked with the hardest job of any manager we have had in last few years, come in just as we are selling some of the best players we have had in years was never a task that was going to fully work out. Replacing crap with better is a far easier task that what JC had to do and IMO he overall was doing a good job.

    No,but Liam O'Brien is the first team coach, so I guess he sort of acts as an assistant manager. In Football Manager 2013, he is labelled as Asisstant Manager.

    Except he replaced the talent we sold with crap, setting in motion the downward spiral that reached its nadir with Calderdud's signings.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Collins blew his budget on some of the worst players I've seen "play" for Hibs. He had one of the biggest budgets outwith Rantic and the Merricks , but still managed to fill the squad with utter crap - and to top it all he couldn't even man manage them.

    I blame JC for Hibs' mediocrity since his departure. It's taken a long time to get out of the hole he left us in, but I think that we're finally (albeit slowly) getting somewhere with PF.

    The ball's round etc. - JC was a great player but now he should just stick to talking the talk.

    Apparently some of the Livingston players are "delighted" at the news. Rumours that the players were unhappy at the intense training schedule (now where does that sound familiar?)

    Football players are lazy *******s
