The New Manager Mega Thread - Please Post Rumours In Here

[J-C]

Tried the JC method of making the players fitter and healthier by attempting to get rid of the drinking culture at Ibrox, didn't work did it, maybe we need simeone with a more strict regime to fitness.

[zlatan]

This thread is so stupid, only pictures of chimps can give it any credibility.

[WhileTheChief..]

Currently in talks with AEK Athens.

[persevere1875]

Like I said may have come from one of the less credible sources, but that said some of the names thrown into the hat on here in the last few days have hardly been credible either.

Would have thought It would have been quicker to read it and ignore it than load the site with stupid pictures x 3

[K.Marx]

Seems like everyman and his dug are throwing their names in the hat for this job. Think seeing as I'm out of work at the moment i may aswell make up a page for myself on wikipedia and fire in a CV

[Lincoln Green]

I'm really surprised at the negative response to Paul Hart on here. This is a guy that stabilised the ship at Forest and had a young team playing very good football. It was only after he left that I think Forest fans realised what the had.

He has a great reputation as a coach and has steadied many clubs down here. Often he has lost his job not because he was crap but because new owners came in and wanted a higher profile name.

For me this would be a great appointment for Hibs. This is a guy that I think would do a good job for us. The only negative I can see is that he wouldnt know the scottish game inside out. However put him in with a good staff who do and we are in business.

Saying this guy hasnt done anything in the game is bollocks. Check your facts guys before spouting guff.


PS He's not my dad by the way.

[hibee4life1983]

He looks malnurished (cant be erchied spell checking)

[New Corrie]

Like Paul Hart a lot, could do a hell of a lot worse than giving him the job.

[hibee4life1983]

I thought the pictures wer pretty good.

[emmjayfox]

If you look at the pictures on this thread, then surely he is talks with APE Athens?

I'd agree.
He must have lots of contacts in the lower divisions of the game down South and if we're looking to clear out more than half our squad that sort of manager would be needed.
IMO he'd also be more likely to hang around than some of the younger names being bandied about.

I think he'd be a good appointment, he'd certainly have good contacts and will know the championship and Premiership reserve scene well. To me he has a better CV than Mowbray had when we appointed him. If he wants the job, we could do a lot worse imho.

[Hibs07p]

I doubt very much that Hibs will pursue the "names" touting themselves for the job! They are putting themselves in the shop window by acknowledging their "interest" and if approached, will expect to name their price and playing budget. I think Hibs will only interview managers that apply directly to the club, stating their expected wage and playing budget, and therefore allows RP to pick the candidate that appeals most. IE discard all the high salary and playing budgets managers, and accept the "I'll work for nothing to prove myself, bring in players through my contacts, and develop the youth players already here" brigade. I hope I'm wrong and we can attract someone who is moderately successful and willing to stay a while if he is successful.

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

Anyone who might even remotely have a claim to having achieved something, anything as a manager/coach in the last decade.

Paul Hart has lost more games than he's won at every single club that he's ever been at. Even worse is his record in his last 4 jobs which, if replicated with Hibs, would see our support demanding his sacking within six months.

[Speedway]

If a potential manager is quoted in the press, you can rule him out immediately. Ro-Pe likes absolute discretion.

Carlos Bilbardo hasn't uttered a word about the Hibs job, that's who I'm watching.

Stupid? Nonsense. Entirely appropriate to be showing pictures of monkeys, and particularly their heids, in a thread about a potential Hibs manager.

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

In the early 19th century, when boxing was particularly popular, anyone who wished to challenge a boxer would throw his hat into the ring.

This was probably necessitated by the crowds and noise at such events; you'd be missed if you simply tried to shout out a challenge or push your way through the crowd and into the ring.

John Hamilton Reynolds used the term in 'The Fancy' in 1820 and this is reported to be the first recorded use of the term.

[HibbyAndy]

Wouldnt be disappointed with PH, Cant see it tho, But certainly would be happy with him at the helm.
