tazhearts Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Has anyone been listening to John Collins interview on Radio Scotland tonight? It was a very interesting and frank interview with Collins freely discussing the reasons why he left, his coaching methods and the player revolt. Collins came across quite well and only slightly arrogant. I was impressed with what Collins had to say re video analysis of opponents, diet, fitness and generally treating the players like athletes. Seems his monaco experience has really shaped his management ideas. He did confirm how tight fisted the hibs board were and said he struggled to sign anyone because the wages offered were so low with Petrie quibbling over a couple of hundred pounds. Alan Preston also confirmed that the Hearts wage budget for players was astronomical compared to Hibs budget. A bit depressing really given that we are not currently any better than hibs despite the wages we shell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossmaroon Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think Collins always comes across as an intelligent man who will become a top manager. Hibs blew it, in my opinion, so why don't we go for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney from Sydney Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I like it. We sign Collins and we get Rat face for 400k from 'Tic. Stewart's @arrse is oot the windy and signs for a Championship club. Collins then leaves us half way through his contract citing interference from Vlad, and Rat face gets a hiding from the punters in his local in downtown Pilton for daring to wear a hearts' shirt. Go for it Vlad. Life's never boring as a Jambo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7628mm Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I have to say that he impressed me as well. I have a feeling that if he gets a new job with the right sort of club he could very well be a quality manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 re video analysis of opponents, diet, fitness and generally treating the players like athletes. . This is how it should be for highly paid professionals. The players' revolt was a disgrace. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbodog Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I thought he came across pretty well and spoke a lot of sense, i even thought that he would be a decent appointment for Hearts until Mrs Robbodog shot me a look and i realised i was wrong. As well as JC came across i couldn't help but feel irritated every time Jim Duffy opened his mouth, he seemed to want to answer all JCs questions for him and came across as a right brown nosing suck up.

Colonel Kurtz Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Jackson is a Murray lap dog. His piece recently in support of Souness was a disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendemaff Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I like how Preston got right into him about the semi final humpin, saying it could have been six or seven, go on yersel son! To be fair, Collins was interesting and open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraMcCa Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 There is no way that Collins has the balls to take on the Hearts job. Look how quickly he jumped ship when things werem't going his was at ER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
