    Calerwood sacked by Cambridge

    How he keeps getting a job I've no idea...


    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51295965


    Cambridge United have parted company with boss Colin Calderwood after a run of one win in 10 League Two games.

    I think that his strengths are in supporting roles rather than as the boss.

    He's a proper number two.

    Amid all the slagging off and criticism of players and managers we’ve all made in the past few years, I think that Calderwood and Butcher are the only two I’ve really disliked and resented their association with Hibs.

    Probably the only Hibs boss I've actually disliked for the disrespect he showed this club. Would've bulleted him for the sweetie gag alone. Take yer soor plooms and ram them Coco.

    What was the sweetie gag? I can’t remember this.

    Pish manager tho, always felt that for all fenlon’s flaws he was fighting an uphill battle sorting out calderclown’s mess.

    Was an odd appointment. Whatever you think of our recent issues, he managerial recruitment is night and day under Dempster.

    At times I dislike him more than Butcher, Butcher at times at least showed he cared about the job, Calderwood never once gave one ounce of a F about it.

    As always:

    Thoughts with his family/mortgage company/bairns etc...

    However, jotters could not have happened to a nicer dude as he is a compete and total Richard, both in terms of tactics, and, in terms of personality.

    My only fear is some unfortunately placed Jobber-esque English outfit will "enjoy" his .PPT presentations/low-key bullying and be seduced into offering him a monthly mortgage payment as an ***assman***

    [*** Assman is a common Football Manager term for an Assistant Manager with low Determination, Motivation and Judging Player Ability**]

    Good Luck Colin.

    Butcher was OK just incompetent. Calderwood was just a disrespectful arrogant clown that that gave the impression he saw himself above Hibs. For me Petrie's worst ever appointment

    I can start liking Cambridge again. Excellent news. I’m sure Houghton will give you a job as boot cleaner somewhere.

    He’s actually meant to be a completely brilliant coach.

    The context was that he was linked with another job while with us, and instead of saying the obvious - ‘I don’t know anything about this and I’m fully committed to Hibs at this time’ - he came out with this pish instead.

    Then the fury turned on Petrie for paying him off a few months later...

    I wouldn’t let butcher off the hook. He should have offered his resignation the day we were relegated.
