So, the "media" have finally noticed this one

http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scot...es-my-No1.html

just noticed this too!

CSABA LASZLO admits he would have jumped at the chance to return to Edinburgh - as HIBS boss!
The former Hearts manager began a new life in Belgium with Charleroi just two weeks ago after nine months on the sidelines following his departure from Tynecastle.
But the Hungarian couldn't avoid a wry smile this week when he saw John Hughes had vacated the top post at Easter Road.
Laszlo, whose family have stayed on in the capital, admits he would have relished the opportunity to swap sides.
He told SunSport: "Would I have been interested if I was still in Edinburgh and didn't have a job? Yes, definitely!
"Hibs are a very interesting club.
"I have every respect for the Hibs chairman. I have every respect for the football team they have there as well.
"They have a very sound financial base, they have a good infrastructure, probably the best in Scotland outwith Celtic and Rangers.
"They've recently finished building their stadium, they have their own academy and are based in a very good city.
"I have a good relationship with the people of Edinburgh, especially the football fans.
"The Jambos fans loved me but I think the Hibernian fans accepted me as well. I think because of this it could perhaps have worked.
"My personality brings people together! This is an advantage I have. Maybe I'd have done that in Edinburgh.
"Maybe I could have changed some of the rivalry between the clubs.
"I still believe that a few years down the line I will be living in Edinburgh - it is the place I've enjoyed the most during my career.
"I am under contract at Charleroi until the end of the season and then much will depend on what happens here.
"But I certainly would not rule out the possibility of working in Scotland once again at some point in the future."
Charleroi currently sit 14th in the 16-team league and president Abbas Bayat, who handed him a deal until the end of the season, has charged him with the task of lifting them up the table.
Laszlo said: "It was important to get back into football and that is why I took the opportunity to come to Belgium.
"I have a contract but what happens after that I don't know - you never know what can happen in football!"

Is that no the same club as JC was linked with?

JC managed them when Benji was there on loan, think Tommy Craig took over when he left.

If the bookies had any real information they wouldn't be offering evens, still hope he gets it though

[ScottB]

Zola saying we should hire him.

http://sport.scotsman.com/hibernianf...-to.6573004.jp

Can't think he'd be commenting unless he knew it was a possibility...

[Leithenhibby]

I suppose if you are going to get a reference for a job then I would want this man to back me in football. I know it's the Sun but, I can't help but think that if Zola says that SC is ready for a managerial post then why no Hibernian FC..

The more I think of SC for the job the more disappointed I shall be if it's not him..

Can't find odds with any bookmaker this morning, do they know something we don't?

[Jim44]

In this morning's Scotsman Gianfranco Zola makes a case for Steve Clarke. Here

That must be the edited version!!!

Where are the 15 million "eh's" and the 15 million "tinks"!!!

[northgreen24]

no odds anywhere

if only i put a £10 on it at 12-1 for SC as be very surprised if he is not the manager

go on rodders take a chance

[seanraff07]

Was watching Friday Night Football last night and it came up with the bookies odds.. i'm sure Steve Clarke was 9/4.

[northgreen24]

if you can find a link let me know as none that i have found now go to a market on him

feeling really confident about this one

somebody different

I am starting to warm to the idea of Billy Reid, done a great job at Accies and can organise a team and knows how to bring on young players and to get the best out of average players. but at 20/1 it would seem an outside bet

im with you on this one

[bighairyfaeleith]

Has he been announced yet then????

Rodders gave a chance to another young up and coming coach in Mowbray and we all know how good he was for a while, I think Clarke has an even better CV than him.

[northgreen24]

I know my logic is duff but what has billy reid actually done? fair enough they are competing in in the SPL but they aint exactly standing out i mean they only drew with us

he wouldnt be the worst but just seems like another manager from a team struggling to stay in the league ala hughes

exactly my thoughts i have no problem if hibs are a stepping stone as like young players that move on means we have been successful

I know Clarke hasn't raised his head above the parapet, but the Tache doesn't like publicity.

Give him the job - Zola.

[Beefster]

If Clarke's the right man for the job, he's the right man for the job.

I'd question Rodders' suitability for his position if a random newspaper interview meant that he let the right man go.

Hopefully, you're right.

I was listening to Jim Traynor's "What the papers say" show on Radio Scotland yesterday and one of the journos was at pains to say how tight lipped the Hibs directors are.

Rarely, if ever, do any leaks come out of the Easter Road board so it just struck me that candidates who (inadvertently or not) try to put pressure on the board by discussing their suitability etc in the press, aren't doing themselves any favours.

I realise that Clarke hasn't said anything himself, but Zola's comments, albeit well intentioned, may irritate.

Either we assume that Zola is an ardent reader of hibs net or hopefully Clarke has had a wee word in the ear of his pal to say that he really is interested in the Hibs job.

My betting history isn't too great so I'm not going to lose any sleep over a few quid on Stevie Clarke.

I'm more concerned we end up with Jimmy Calderwood.
