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.

Imagine Jimmy got the job, OMG what a thought! If he got the job I would be absolutly devastated! Hope it's SC!

[YehButNoBut]

Don't normally have a look but some interesting views on Clarke from Keekback also I did not realise Clarke played in the St Mirren team that helped Celtic win the league in '86.

"Seriously though, he is a very, very decent coach, only a football novice would deny that. He would make jeffries look like a dinosaur which is worrying!!!I'm genuinely worried he will take the post over there! He'd take a **** squad, manipulte it into an avearage squad and have them playing like a very good team."

"I'm a bit gutted he's considering it. He's a decent coach in his own right, but if he needs advice, he rings Mourinho! JJ rings Billy Brown.

It's Hibs though. They'll manage to ruin it/him."

"I think it'd be quite a bold, eyebrow raising appointment which, as it wouldn't be from the usual merry-go-round of SPL managers, would deserve credit. Fortunately though, it's Hibs, so it'd go wrong; and in the unlikely event it didn't, Clarke would be off to the Championship the moment he had a bit of success anyway.

Also, Steve Clarke played for St Mirren on 3 May 1986. Hate. Hate. Hate"

"and how the **** do you know that.What has he done except put out the cones for Mourhino"

"What like graham rix ya dick?

Steve Clarke is a no better coach than GR was. GR failed to get a league 2 job recently. Clarke is welcome to the Hibs job."

"Maybe he is an excellent coach and number two. Does not automatically mean he can be a successful number one."

"Has he been offered the job?

Would be surprised if he came back North of the border. I'm also sure it would be a pretty quick reality check when he see's the quality of player he would be working with.

My prediction would be Clarke to sit tight a while longer down South and end up with a job with a mid Championship side."

"To an extent a coach will improve a team, but you still need the players. That`s whats wrong nowadays, football fans think every coach/manager has a magic wand just because what they`ve done at other clubs but they don`t take into consideration the scenario at that particular time.

To me, above all else a manager is only as good as the players he signs or his judgement on adding players from the youth ranks.

Coaching, tactics etc...are just used to refine things and keep it ticking along....you`ll never turn pish players into geniuses no matter how good yer tactics are."

"Don't think any one really knows how he'd perform down ****** road.

He'd have contacts, yes. He's probably a very good coach but tactically, who knows, man management... again, who knows (something sorely lacking in Leith).

He'd be a risk, if it was us.... I'd have taken him around the time we were looking after frail and the rest, anyone would have done then... but if it was a throw up between JJ and him after Csaba I'd have went for JJ every time."

Give him the job right now!

[hibsfootsoldier]

steve clark is the man for the job i think.
very willing to take the chance on someone like him.
someone whos worked with the likes of mourinio(cant spell it) is got to be a big positive.
also i watched football icon a good few years ago now and he was the main man on it as he done all the youth stuff. and tbh he looked very good and very proffessional imo albiet was at chelsea but i think he could do that very well at easter road as we do have very good young players and are known for. hed be the best person to nurture young talents and by getting the best he could out of the pish we do have.
hard worker with amazing connections around the world.
ticks every box
and i heard hes got family up here so he might just shock everyone with a move to leith
fingers crossed though

[Dr Jimmy]

My mate bumped into him in Anstruther (sp?) a month ago and he said he was visiting family. My mate asked when he was getting back into football, he said he was enjoying the break, but wants to do something himself for his next move and be in charge.
This was all before Yogi got the chop, but sounds like he is up for a new challenge and role in football.

Just checked the betting, who is Anthony Hudson?

[Edinburgh Green]

Been sent a text saying he'll be appointed in a day or two.

Only cos everyone is reading hibs.net and texting each other.

I still think it will be Csaba Laszlo.

(Although i bet Steve Clarke at 12/1).

[Manxhibs]

I will be delighted on two fronts if this happens, one we get a world class coach and another I get 60 notes, happy days

[Hibee87]

doubt this has anything to do wiht a manger being apointed but the lights are on a easter road and have been for a wee wile, im guessing that most likely case is testing for tomorrow night, iceland training on the pitch but you never know coul be that clarke/a.n other being appointed and been having photos done for the website to announce the morra etc. you never know

[blairwallace]

the thing that gets me excited is the thought of if this guy has good contacts! if he brings in a decent player to a fully build stadium, own training ground and no big debts then think of the possibilities

[zlatan]

Just stuck £50 on this at 8/11 with Victor Chandler. You better be right, or I'll post angry smiley icons.

[orourke]
