Stark's resigned.

Clarke will be at ER on Saturday in the stand.

Was told the exact same thing about 2 o'clock this afternoon; both to be in the stand apparently!

FAAAAAAAANYTAAAAAASTIC!

[ScottB]

Excellent news!!

Part of me wonders if there may be a deal in place for Stark to take over once Clarke leaves, try and ensure some long term stability and explain why Stark is apparently happy to step into an assistant role.

Personally speaking, the two of them would be exceptional appointments and will send a real message of intent that we mean business, both on and off the field.

No sign of the fella in the latest betting..dropped methinks!

[darrenmcintosh2]

[chrisski33]

Thats not what you wrote originally. You stated that gardening leave is only for employees looking for employment elsewhere, I gave you an example of how this is not the case. No properly run company? Its one of the largest banks in the world and is run in such a manner that it required no bail out from governments.

re the part in bold. How do you know that when Celtic wanted shot of Mowbray they didnt get together and say to him that they will relieve him of management but keep paying him and Mowbray agreed? this may have been a perfect opportunity for him, take some time off and get paid for it.

just for the record, here is what gardening leave can mean

"The term can also be used when an employee is sent home whilst subject to disciplinary proceedings, when they are between projects, or where, as a result of publicity, their presence at work is considered counter-productive."

sounds like somewhere I know...

tony mowbary for me he had the club buzzing

[blackpoolhibs]

Eddie Turnbull. The only manager in my lifetime who genuinely had me thinking we could win the league.

[darrenmcintosh2]

Mogga for me also their was a certain bUzz about when he was in charge lol

He won the LC with TM team and he left the club the day after East Mains opened. He is over rated on here and he talks rubbish! TBH cant really be that bothered with him, very over rated IMO.

That'll be the end of any hopes for JC then

Go back a bit further and McLeish's defeat to bottom of the league Aberdeen (after being a goal up) was even more criminal.

Aye, one of the most depressing results in my time following Hibs. Really thought that could've been our year. Did Andy Dow not bang one in against us in that game?

I think we missed a good opportunity with JC to totally change the culture at the club but the board didn't back him. 1 with the "player revolt" and 2 with his signing targets for the January window. Think it was Hammell he wanted to sign but RP wouldn't stump up for the wages.

I still wonder where we could have gone with JC - and I don't think it would've been down.

Ah, this old myth rears it's head again.


How come Tony Mowbray couldn't win the cup with Tony Mowbray's team? Johnny Collins won us the cup. If it ever came down to a straight decision between Mowbray and JC for the Hbs job, i'd have Collins every time. Mowbray went way, way down in my estimation at his time at Celtic. He became a right prick in the press and as for that huddle at ER? **** him.


Tony Mowbray? Big no thanks.

Eddie Turnbull, by a mile.

We really were that good for a while that you more or less expected to beat the OF routinely, we competed well in Europe and at times absolutely murdered the sort of sides we are losing to now, the football was a joy to watch and you had the feeling that the players definitely wanted to play for the club / Turnbull, it never stayed that way but at that time they were brilliant consistently and we have not really got near that since.

The others like Mowbray and McCleish have done it fleetingly, but never sustained it. I felt Miller did a great job for us at a horrendous time and we probably owe him more respect that he often gets, but the rest are decidedly B list in my view.

I feel the same way about Hibs now as I did then, but the highs since have been nothing like then and the couple of really good sides we have had since Turnbulls haven't been at that level.

History says that Shaw and MacFarlane are up there too but I have restricted it to those I have seen.

Cannot understand the fixation with JC as a manager of HFC
It's a fact (from all the reliable sources) that he did/does not have the man management skills to manage a top class football club.
I personally know this from people who had to work with/for him
As I have sad on numerous occasions he was a great player ( one of my all time favourite Hibbees) , a pleasant/interesting man to be with but and unfortunately it was a BIG BUT , he did not have the people skills required
Please, please can we just draw a line under this ?

Last night I was having a look on the William Hill site at the odds for the next Hibs manager, but noticed tonight that there are no odds available. Possibly an announcement soon???
