Jezza Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why? Great CV. Dundee Utd wanted him a few years back. Would rather ONeil or Lennon went there instead of him, he knows his stuff and is highly experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenlon's is perhaps better but it does not worry me. Was about to say the same thing. Think it's a gamble bringing managers over from Ireland. No matter how good the manager is, Hibs will make sure he fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Never heard of the bawbag, therefore he should fit in well down Easter Road way. If he is what they believe to be their best alternative to Colin Calderwood then it shows little to no imagination on behalf of their board. Either that or he misheard the phone call made to him and has agreed to do it without pay, making him a guaranteed cert to get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a mystery to most, I won't be remotely surprised. According to his wiki he's only 42, seems to have a good record but has only ever played/managed in Ireland. No SPL experience.

wibble Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 As has been proven several times previously the manager at ER is not the problem. There's a culture amongst the staff that means anyone who demands commitment and hard work gets stabbed in the back, and Petrie is always around to hold meetings with the disgruntled players and undermine the guy who is supposed to be in charge.
