Doubt Clarke does only three stars!!

If Hibs are paying for it he's lucky Rod didn't book him into the Travel Lodge

Today's Daily Express has it that we've made official approaches through an agent to Shamrock R and Bohemians about Michael O'Neil or Pat Fenlon. Asking about compo at this stage. Also says that Fenlon is the one the Board want.

I think its looking increasingly likely that someone has turned us down???

**euro Hibby** · 18-10-2010 07:59 AM

don't believe Rod will be into paying compo especially since there are good managers available without clubs. Hibs will aslo be forking out for Yogi and Rice.

Whatever, whoever comes has not got an easy job. Inmy view Yogi shot himself in the foot , talking too much rather than working in silence !

Billy Stark as manager and John Park number 2 anybody heard this ?

***Viva_Palmeiras*** · 18-10-2010 08:06 AM

Serious business serious process with likely a number of candidates
Incidently how long did the board take over moggas appointment? Is that not the benchmark?
Rod seems to me to be keeping everyone on their toes - that way he keeps his options open and demands will likely be tempered if the folks really want the gig

Not sure id be happy with that, given Starks last job pre u21s was Queens Park having been punted by St Johnstone and Morton. Happy for him to be assistant but no the top man.

It was doing the rounds of the taxi ranks last night I think.

It's so easy to make stuff up and spread the word nowadays.

It does seem that folk are prepared to believe every piece of speculation that appears in the press. They know nothing.

Tony Mowbray was announced as manager on Monday 24 May, but I have a feeling that Hibs will wait till tomorrow at the earliest, if indeed they have got their man, just to get the weekend's games and aftermath out of the way.

That's just speculation though, too.

This is fun.

Why? What "aftermath"?

Please don't shoot the messenger! I reported what is in today's paper, that's all. Never said I believed a word of it (hence the

). For the record (or express or sun) I don't believe what is printed in the press when they are speculating about Hibs. I wait for confirmation on the official site.

Hibernian midfielder Kevin McBride says sacked manager John Hughes phoned to wish the team well ahead of Saturday's 2-1 win over Kilmarnock.

A magnanimous gesture.

Sorry, if my post was a bit pointed. It was really just a general observation about folk grabbing onto any and every rumour from every and any source as if it was the word of god.

I didn't shoot you, honest. I wasn't even aiming in your direction!

It could be that Clarke is OK about coming but that the SFA are being awkward about Stark.

A wee bird suggested that Stephen Glass, who has all his certificates and is now training at East Mains, might be a suitable assistant for Clarke.

Cannae see it myself - Clarke 'n Stark, fine.

But Clark 'n Glass doesnae rhyme.

Obvious, I'd have thought.

He's only training at Hibs to keep fit.

Just the reports and supplements in the papers.

Well if it's maximum exposure they're after they should announce it today - all the supplements are done by a Monday?

Assuming they're sitting on it just so it gets more lines in the papers that is.

Out of curiosity, who was the favourite when Hibs threw a curveball with Mowbray?

I suspect speculation was not at the levels it is now, but I cant remember much about the lead up to Mogga coming.

I can't remember his name, but it was a foreign chap who I said I'd heard being discussed by blazered Hibs officials in Greggs on Easter Road.

From that day, Greggs rumours were established.

One of my few achievements.

I don't think he was favourite.

He was Willie Dunn's favourite, iirc, and maybe TQM's, but not with the bookies.

Not towards the end, anyway.

Now all we need do is establish the "Taxi Rank" rumour...
