"Antonio Tapia, has applied for the manager’s job at Hibernian for the second time in seven months – and he wants to take Kenny Shiels to Easter Road as No 2 if he gets the job."

That'll go down well...

Better with johnny tapia

**Bronson** · 18-06-2014 12:49 AM

He actually has quite an impressive CV, yet I'm struggling to be open-minded about the possibility.

Kenny Shiels as assistant again doesn't fill me with optimism yet he's won a cup as a manager.

Am i an eternal pessimist or does anyone else feel the same?

Nooooooooooooo *#!£%

**~~Speedway~~** · 18-06-2014 01:48 AM

I'd rather have Antonio Murray.

**TheFamous1875** · 18-06-2014 01:55 AM

How would people feel about him if it was insisted that Boozy be his assistant?

Weird how much he's being shot down when his record and people he has worked with is impressive

***California-Hibs*** · 18-06-2014 04:10 AM

Would take this guy in a heart-beat!

''The 54-year-old Spaniard took newly-promoted Malaga to eighth place in La Liga in 2009. That success attracted offers from Newcastle United and QPR but he rejected them to take over at Real Betis.''

Someone who's managed Malaga and Real Betis and attracted English Premiership teams.

'Antonio believes in playing attractive, attacking football and in developing young players.'

Yes people, fits what we're been crying out for since Tony left us. I wouldn't mind seeing some young fast technically gifted Spanish players at Easter Road. I've always wanted us to go for a foreign manager and try something different!

**Hibee_Dave** · 18-06-2014 04:17 AM

Of course his agent is going to talk him up but reading that artical and the evening times one makes me think that he could be the 'something different' that we need. Plus he would be able to bring in a load of apparently technically gifted (remains to be seen) and cheap (we know how important that word is) which could be a breath of fresh air compared with the recent journeymen and loan signings.

Newcastle and QPR were interested and now we're in the Scottish lower leagues.....so it's a yes from me.

***JON6207*** · 18-06-2014 04:42 AM

No thanks, Sacked just about everywhere he has been. Next!

He's had no longevity in his career only ever spends one year in a place. Board take note!

It's a no from me.

Correct no time for candidates that cannot offer the potential of some stability (whether that materialises or not remains to be seen but we shouldn't setup gigs with volatile characters or folks that can't stand the heat)

Mowbray has been sacked (or ushered out the door) everywhere he's been since Hibs. Would still love him back. Suppose some managers just hit the ground running.

Much like the Hibs managers.

**MrRobot** · 18-06-2014 07:52 AM

Looks like he constantly gets sacked, no from me.

**JDHibs** · 18-06-2014 08:00 AM

**** me Jose Mourinho could get linked with us and still the fannies on here would say no.

Give the guy a break.

***J-C*** · 18-06-2014 08:04 AM

No from me too, rather have Tapas

***jonty*** · 18-06-2014 08:21 AM

His CV is honking, his last appointment he was sacked after 3 months.

Mowbray has lasted longer than one year in most of his jobs though, this guy is a journeyman manager.

Just about every coach working in Spain 'constantly gets sacked'. Not saying he is the man for us and considerable cultural adjustment to Scottish lower tier, but interesting option. Really not sure about Shiels as No.2 but who knows?

I'd rather have Antonio Banderas!

**~~nribs~~** · 18-06-2014 09:34 AM

Are Hibs even interested? Sounds like him and his agent are just whoring him about hoping he might get a gig in Scotland or Britain.
