The New Manager Mega Thread - Please Post Rumours In Here

[Wellbankhibby]

I would be happy to have John Collins or Tony mobray back as manager but my first choice would be Paul Elliot. He has experience of Scottish football, English football and Italian football. Has also played at the highest level in all three countries. I also listned attentively to his tactical side of football when he summarized on Italian football. It is also my belief that he would demand and recieve the respect of players. Im not sure if he has managerial experience but I believe he has coaching badges and excellent organisation skills.

O'Brien was a disaster,no one could argue that .He was playing for Swindon reserves a couple of weeks ago.As you know Maka is now well on the way to the top .I think Collins will have learned from any mistakes. He's intelligent and we'd be the fittest team in the league. I think he would be as good if not better than any others that have been mentioned. The only possible exception might be the little Italian guy. That might be interesting.:hmmm

2nd choice at Swansea

and by "we" you mean a bunch of players that were in revolt and trying to get their manager sacked. Little wonder that the football was not the best. I would consider giving jc another shot with a new bunch of players, he had the right philosophy for the game

Stevie, players weren't trying to get JC sacked. They raised their concerns with him directly and he refused to discuss them. What option did they have but to raise them with his boss? That was from one of those accused of being at the centre of it, face-to-face. And our record sale...

JC's 'my way or the highway' approach is OK on paper but not in real life where you have to deal with a load of individuals and mould them into a cohesive team. Man-management skills were sadly lacking which meant he had no chance of implementing the fitness and off-field stuff that undoubtedly would have been good long-term. The way we played under him was dross too - that early run we went on was despite playing shockingly in at least a few of those games and later on we were playing the same but not getting the results.

No, we need proven, top-level experience for the managers position. If the board are worthy of top-dollar for their positions, so is the managers job. A good manager is worth 5 good players IMHO [fb echo there!] so lets start from the top this time around eh? Instead of going down a route that's clearly not been successful for us of ex-players with little or no experience in the top seat...

[The Harp Awakes]

Would love JC back at Hibs as Manager. I think he will have learnt a great deal from his last stint and wouldn't make the same mistakes with the players as he did previously.

However, his ambitions for Hibs are far greater than the Hibernian Board's sadly, and for that reason I can't see him being prepared to return, or the Hibs Board wanting him back for that matter.

I've now had several mates of other footballing persuasions ask me what the deal is with George Burley being in the running. Is he just one of the myriad of names that have "thrown their hat into the ring" (whatever that refers to) and been linked in some rag, or is there something more concrete behind the rumour?

I must admit, I've not seen his name mentioned in dispatches. What sort of odds would you get for Burley to become next manager, and what do people think of the - probably remote - possibility??

[bighairyfaeleith]

Does he not have a job just now?

[seanraff07]

Yep, i'm sure he's at Crystal Palace.

[IanM]

in all honestly - he loses a couple of matches and he'll be the scapegoat jambo ******* and the last thing we need right now is more of our fans calling for the new managers head after a few matches..

altho i do rate him at club level, with a bit more support (from VR) and a bit less alcohol who knows what the JT's would of achieved that season..

what worry's me, every name that has been put forward there has been fans saying "no chance" which means unless there is someone we have missed some of our fans ain't gonna be happy.. , understandable however as it's been a tough time and we all want whats best for the club

i have my favourites (southgate, scala, rioch) and my no way's (calderwood, mcpherson) but will be happy even if it's somewhere between

He is indeed, which makes my mates havering, piss in the wind merchants, which makes perfect sense seeing as the mates in question were a Tim and a Hun

How many more stupid threads like this before we actually get someone in!

I know the telly is crap but please go and get a good book to read or something!

[Judas Iscariot]

**** off Tarquin..

Has the Oxford water caused delusion...

[flash]

Daily record says he has applied with quotes. ticks all the boxes for me- experienced at a good level, has turned struggling clubs round and must have good contacts.

one of the more intriguing candidates for sure.

[hibee bouncer]

I'm not sure what success, if any, he's had as a manager. Got a very poor Portsmouth team where he couldn't do anything with them, done nothing at QPR and I'm certain he's been at 1 other club. It might just be me but I don't get how people can possibly rate him.

Have spoken with Ian McParland about him a while back.

Pumper was his number two at Notts Forest for a while.

I don't want him.

[Golden Bear]

His record.

Make your own mind up but I think we can do better.

[David@EasterRoad]

Excellent cv as a youth coach, hasn't done anything startling as a manager though. Might work though as we have a few decent players coming through again who just need a run in the first team.

There will be loads of them every day.

[jonny]

No thanks. Clarke or Scala for me - although it seems that the Scala thing won't ever really materialise.
Mowbray would be my 3rd choice.

[Deano Mourinho]

Id take him in a minute good pedigree and would get the best out of the youngsters

[Pretty Boy]

Hart doesn't have an excellent record as a manager but every club he has worked at recently has been in turmoil.

Portsmouth- Always going to be hard to follow the success of Redknapp and the club where already in trouble when he took over from Tony Adams. Money problems, players sold from under him, no manager could have done a job there.

QPR- Interefering owners and one of many who has failed in that job recently. Warnock seems to be doing well at the moment though.

Crystal Palace- Helped keep them up against all the odds depsite a 10 point deduction. Deserves credit.

A highly respected coach and might just prove to be a decent manager at a club that has some kind of stable footing. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed where he to get the job.

[Beefster]

The quality of some of the folk being touted on here as serious candidates is laughable.

[bingo70]

Any chance of a link to this story? Too tight to buy the paper and to lazy to find the story as only got internet access on my phone, cheers

[Cabbage East]

Why is this guy even a possibility? He has achieved absolutely nothing in the game. Oh but he coached in England so he must be good.....

[flash]

Interesting polarisation of views as ever. beefster, if he is laughable who rises above your derision?

[Steve20]

His record is very poor. No thanks.

Hibs most successful manager in the last 19 years, can he be persuaded to return.

What would it take?
