[monktonharp]

Gjp, sounds like a silly name for a previous Hibernian fc manager. who is he? one of our own?

[Hibbyradge]

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the complaint?

[Steve20]

There's no complaint here. It's hard to argue Rangers are in a good position and are favourites to go up. He's not said anything wrong.

I like McLeish. For all the debate about Stubbs and Mowbray, McLeish was a far better manager for us than them both.

Yes he did. He said we were a couple of points behind them in the league. Last time I looked that was wrong.

Perhaps. If Stubbs or Mowbray had been given 1/4 of the money McLeish frittered away they would have been streets ahead of him. Chequebook manager if ever there was one.

Sorry but I like Alex McLeish. Good guy when I met him.

If he was that great, why didn't he succeed at Birmingham, Villa or Forest. He got lucky at Hibs as they had money to spend on players like Sauzee (we could never afford him now) and even luckier at Rangers where he only had to worry about four games a season.

He spent money that Stubbs could only dream about.

Was he a good guy when he was meeting Murray and Advocaat behind our backs while still manager of Hibs? Ask Rod Petrie about GJP'S integrity.

I agree 100%. I just don't get the jibes. He did what we wanted and got us back up in one season and also gave us a terrific team to watch. Who else would have brought Sauzee Latapy etc. I also had the pleasure of meeting him in Cosmos after he went to Ibrox. He was having dinner with Murray and all he wanted to talk to me about was Hibs and his main question was "What did you think of big Frank as a Player" A total gentleman!! (and before the comics start he was talking about Sauzee not Dougan)

Maybe I'm just bitter and twisted but I despise anyone that takes the 13 pieces of silver from them and yes I include Thomson and Murray and all the other chancers who kissed our badge and then their *****. I realize it's probably small minded and immature but it is what it is.

Would you be a good guy if you went behind your employers back to talk to someone offering you 3 or 4 times your salary?

Sorry but that's commercial reality and if Rod is offended by that then he needs a reality check.

McLeish did very well for us. When I saw Hibs lose the first home game of the season v Stranraer in 1998 I feared our time had come. Three years later we were in the cup final.

What about his "I'm here as long as you want me" speech? Job offer along the M8, couldn't leave quick enough.

That's it really.

18 months after we were relegated and Hearts had won the Scottish Cup Hibs went to Tynecastle in the Millennium Derby and tore Hearts apart, 3-0 going on 6 or 7 bar for the brilliance of Niemi. That was McLeish's team and I personally won't forget that.

I don't think many would argue that McLeish didn't do well for us...It was the timing and the way he left that felt wrong. Leaving us a day before we played them, at a time when we were pretty much neck and neck with them..He could have said wait until after the game...then we will attend to the move. Lacked class.

[O'Rourke3]

I was in the "still like him" group till last night.

Lazy comment to back up the Celtic and Scotland need a strong The Rangers blah blah blah. About half way through he remembered about the team that got him that and the Scotland jobs and managed to get one simple fact totally wrong.

The GJP was probably more to do with a couple of beers but our poor start that year probably had everything to do with the stuff being worked out to head West.

"I'm here as long as you want me" I'll never forget that or the way we all felt when he said it. So for everyone that's met him and reckons he's sound he does have previous around the charm and the truth.....

Another manager who only succeeds if he has money to spend, it's no surprise that the only 2 clubs who actually backed him money wise is where he had most success

Team	Nat	From	To	Record
G	W	D	L	Win%[77]
Motherwell		13 July 1994	10 February 1998	156	48	45	63	30.77
Hibernian		11 February 1998	11 December 2001	164	77	42	45	46.95
Rangers		13 December 2001	8 May 2006	235	155	44	36	65.96
Scotland		29 January 2007	27 November 2007	10	7	0	3	70.00

He lasted a season at Genk because they failed to qualify for the championship play off.

That's just life DM. The Rangers job then was a big job carrying a massive salary. Nobody can blame him for accepting the challenge and of course the wages

He was meeting SDM and Advocaat months before he left Hibs and on more than one occasion. I understand the commercial reality and have no problem with it. However there was also a level of sneakiness beyond that.

I mind that game. Beaten 1-0 at home. Mind you, their goal was a screamer.
