Hart certainly has plenty experience as a manager and may be what we are looking for.

Another interesting candidate from the same article below.

Meanwhile, ex-Cologne boss Uwe Rapolder has also expressed interest in the job.
The German has managed a host of Bundesliga 1 and 2 sides, including Arminia Bielefeld, and has also coached in Switzerland.
He believes he has what it takes to get Hibs challenging again at the right end of the SPL table. He said: "I've heard a lot of good things about the club. They have good young players and I believe they can compete with the likes of Rangers and Celtic if they're given the right direction and mentality."

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

They're putting their own names forward mate

Scala has come forward and expressed he's interested and so has Paul Hart. I fail to see how this then makes these two candidates 'laughable'
Explain..

I read a comment posted after the article about hughes getting the bullet on the scotsman online. Some guy calling himself sir brian something or other who was a qc from hanley on thames had said that George Burley had agreed terms with hibs, but Crystal Palace weren't going to let him go.

I find it hard to believe that George Burley would be looking for a move considering he only started at Crystal Palace in the summer. I think it was probably some ****bo leaving a stupid comment.

johnbc70 · 07-10-2010 11:31 AM

I am sure Burley bought a big house in the Grange when he was Scotland manager that he probably still owns. Plus his daughter is married to our current club captain Chris Hogg so his family will be around him and maybe he has made his money and wants a job in Edinburgh to live in his big house and be close to his daughter.

Cannot see it happening but stranger things have happened!

Join the queue, roll up

**Dinkydoo** · 07-10-2010 11:35 AM

No, dear god no

Don't know how probable Burley becomig the next Hibs manager would be but after his recent stint as Scotland boss, I wouldn't want him anywhere near ER.

***Calvin*** · 07-10-2010 11:35 AM

Interesting. Plenty of experience, none of it particularly relevant. I'd prefer to go for someone like this than one of the Scottish guys mentioned.

**M11BMO** · 07-10-2010 11:36 AM

Hottest job in football...

Everyone wants it.

***LancsHibs*** · 07-10-2010 11:54 AM

Seems to have spent most of his time in the lower leagues of Cypriot football,

Not for Hibs!

***Calvin*** · 07-10-2010 11:56 AM

Well it's all down to the quality of his website surely?

http://www.stephenconstantine.co.uk/

His international achievements are pretty good actually.

**~~Hibernia Na Eir~~** · 07-10-2010 11:57 AM

basically, anyone who touts themselves to hibs through the media won't be in the running.

my question would be, why would a coach NEED his own website to flaunt himself?

seems a nice guy, but not for me.

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??

GGTTH

thers alot worse than burley out ther

George sold his house just after he started with Palace.

This man is far too ugly to be manager of Hibernian Football Club.

Says he is interested and has a proven track record of working with youngsters. Could be a good appointment

**Perspective** · 07-10-2010 01:35 PM

Think this guy was touting himself for the Killie job on their fan forums.

Not a chance he'll get the job.

George Burley is Chris Hogg's father in law, So our captain would be playing every week

**** no then..

Granted its taken from one of the more unbelievable football rumour sites, however, the claim is that Paul Le Guen is on his way to ER as we speak to finalise a two year deal to manage the Hibs
