7628mm Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I give him 3 weeks. I will give him a maximum of 12 months with Petrie having to fork out 18 months worth of wages / salary to get rid of him. Some things never change. I find it all a little sad as I don't really mind Hibs at all for if nothing else than we can feel superior to one team in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I live in England and many years ago I remember, when Sir A F was appointed, hearing remarks like "Ah well he's been successful in a joke league but....." Not many people say that now. That cant be true surely SAF had also took a team from a so called diddy league onto win a european trophy. No matter whats happening in Gorgie we can always depend on hibs to make us smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego10 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I actually think he could be a decent manager for them. Thing is the problems with Hibs is not the managers, I was hearing today that the board have said despite saying at the AGM there will be no outside interference from the board that the new manager will have to use the current backroom staff. Also the new manager will get to find out what a Hibs changing room is like... heard the same thing about the backroom staff. On paper he's a decent appointment, but given the problems at Hibs run far deeper than the manager it's difficult to foresee him being a success. The current squad is atrocious, the culture of unprofessionalism amongst the platers is rife and the fans are completely apathetic. all very pleasing.

RussAsia Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 To be honest their new manager doesn't even need to do that good a job to be streets ahead of his predecessors.. I think he might do alright.. there is probably a few bargains to be had in the Irish League.. after a couple of seasons they will have all left for Rangers and Celtic and they will struggle again..

oldporty Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Not so sure the irish league is taht bad.Shamrock rovers are in the group stages of the oofa league and werent aberdeen humbled by an irish team in europe a few seasons back.Impossible to tell how he will do but probably it was a choice between him and michael oneil and i think the board shied away from another ex employee being in charge.What with lomas,shiels and now fenlon its an irish takeover.My hunch is he will do well.

ray- Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Well considering he also won two European trophies whilst at Aberdeen they must have been really dumb then. Not to mention the fact that the difference in the Scottish and English leagues in the '80s was nothing like what it is today. And he still toppled two clubs (Celtic and Rangers) who were dominating the game and were just as big as any club in England at the time (perhaps bar Liverpool). Until the were chucked out of it, English clubs had more or less dominated the European Cup in the ten years leading up to Fergie joining Man U.

RoussetsShorts Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 He looked nervous and awkward in the press photo & questions, I think he thinks this is a huge step and isn't a big enough personality to take it on.

CJGJ Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 'Put simply, Pat Fenlon is a winner," said Easter Road chairman Rod Petrie. "He has a record of winning championships and cups at different clubs and his teams have competed regularly in Europe. "This pedigree is matched by the ambition Hibernian has for sporting success." SOUND FAMILIAR !! -- SEE BELOW RE MIXU 'he actually comes across in such a hugely positive way that he stood out as an excellent candidate and he was the only one who was offered the job. "It was a bit like the conversation we first had with Tony: suddenly you were struck by someone who had thought it all out, someone who was ambitious, knew what they wanted to do and was 100 per cent committed. "Every answer he gave was considered, thoughtful and intelligent." AND MORE RE CALDERWOOD Hibernian Chairman Rod Petrie said: ?Colin has been in the dug out as a Manager in nearly 300 matches. ?He also has a wealth of experience as a player and as an Assistant Manager in the English Premier League. ?He is a winner, having won promotion with three different clubs.He is a leader with real drive and determination to succeed. This makes him an outstanding choice.? AND MORE !! "John Hughes was the unanimous choice of the board not for his exploits as a former player, but for his credentials as a manager, his style of football and his potential to bring success to the club on the field of play. "The board will never lose sight of the requirement for Hibernian FC to be competing for honours and we see John as the ideal candidate to achieve this."
