maroonlegions Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 CL orJJ, but has the damage been done by vlad in all his meddling in team affairs , this will not go away and i feel quality managers are just to nervous to come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sconnie Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Anyone, as long as I like them and I have heard of them! I'm the same tbh, but my preferred option would be Davies.

Scallywag Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Craig Levein was always my first choice and I would be on the phone to him today if I was Vlad. Failing that I wouldn't hesitate to get Jim Jefferies back. My biggest fear is we will end up with another foreign puppet from Vlads pyramid and very little will change.

colinzeal Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I voted Davies. I would like Levein too, but that is never going to happen. That said, i would also be happy with JJ!

Buffalo Bill Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Billy Davies, now that MM is out of the running. I think he would do a fine job. To be honest, I'd be happy with any decent Scottish or British manager. I have to say I'm gutted the McGhee thing never worked out. Buffalo Bill .

Not a lot of choice at the moment, all the best ones are in jobs but i'd probably go for Neil Warnock, reluctantly Billy Davies, I wonder why no-one's came in for him though....strange!

Only a Game Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Since we dont have the five months it takes to persuade someone to leave his current job, lete alone the 8 days it takes to interview him., I suppose we should be looking at someone who doesnt have a club. Billy Davies for me. The important thing is we MUST get right on to this, THIS week, and get it tied up before 30th June. Absolute disaster in store for next season IMO if we dont have a manager in the next 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Paul Ince. Shocked to say but I agree with siege. I do think we are a trophy too late for him though, I suspect he will be on the radar of far more attractive clubs than us. Of all the serious names mentioned in the last six months, Ince, Mikhailichenko, Davies and Warnock were personal choices. Only one of them (IMO) is currently available. As long as it isn't.... Williamson Hughes Boothroyd Butcher or a pyramid appointment I would suggest that the manager need not be British nor have British football experience. He need only have a good coaching cv, be fluent in English and hate the Hibs from the moment he gets the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it may be worth reminding you that John Robertson, not the most articulate guy either, grew up as a lover of Hibernian too - not that it did us any harm when signing him! Mark my words, Hughes has a big future ahead of him: he's a very promising young manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 By order of preference, and bearing in mind that Levein won't join us, and we don't have a cat in hell's chance of getting Ince (whose next move will almost certainly be to an ambitious Championship club, or maybe even a struggling EPL one): Jim Jefferies Billy Davies John Hughes Steve Clarke Ian Holloway Martin Allen I'd be ok, though not exactly shouting from the rooftops, with any of the above. However, I would not be ok with: Gordon Chisholm Billy Reid Peter Grant Stephen Frail Another recruitment from the axis of gash. I thank you.

ibpc Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Not Davies. He always seems to be complaining and have a chip on his shoulder about not getting the breaks. He couldn't stand it at Hearts and I couldn't stand his greeting face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deevers Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Craig Levein won't leave Dundee United at the moment because of the emotional strain in would put on him due to Eddie Thomson's medical condition. I'm not sure about Billy Davies. I've got the feeling he would be up and away once a suitable offer for his services came in from England. The club ( and Romanov) need to re-build their credibility. We need a long period of tranquility and the headlines being made on the football field and not off it. To that end surely what we need just now is Jeffries back for a couple of years with a groomed successor as his assistant. This would allow the manager (and his successor) to really build for the future. What we don't need is another fiasco which would make it even harder in the future to attract quality players and quality staff to the club. Personally, I'm quite happy the MM declined the job - if his heart wasn't in it - he's not what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
