Johanes de Silentio Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I read somewhere the other day that they were offered a six-figure sum in compo by A Club for Calderwood's services, and they knocked it back! If that's true, then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true, then Birmingham offered Hibs ?300,000 for Calderwood and they turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 That is an awful statement. Even more so given the fact that Calderwood has refused to commit himself to Hibs - several times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 desperately clinging on to, and ludicrously exaggerating the qualities of, a useless simpleton manager who the long suffering fans desperately want to see the back of. oh to be a hobo.

Charlie-Brown Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 "We have now stripped away the unworkable legacy saddled upon the club by the previous incumbent" eh? would these be the players you sanctioned and helped to sign Mr Petrie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 having to strip away the unworkable legacy saddled upon a club by a previous incumbent would appear to be the price you pay for allowing that incumbent - or any incumbent - too much of a free hand in the running of the club. perhaps petrie wouldn't have to do so much unworkable legacy stripping if he ran his pishy football club more along the lines of his larger and more successful near neighbours. allowing a moronic oaf like hughes too much of a free hand in your football club... and then using that as an excuse for the current failings of the new manager, and yourself... the petrie way.

Say What Again Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Must Petrie refer to him as "Colin Calderwood" every single time? No 'Colin' or 'the manager'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Instead we're going to give the unworkable legacies of other previous incumbents just one more try by signing the likes of Sproule, O'Connor etc." Unworkable legacies R Us.

Tasavallan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 As last nights performance at Livingston highlights, keeping a manager who clearly wishes to be somewhere (anywhere) else will only disrupt the pre-season build-up and unsettle the players. Even if CC does not move to Birmingham or Forest it is clear he is not happy in his job away from his family. Well done Petrie, keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Em em if you pick a 14 game spell mid-season and discount the crap results before and after he's a good boss!! From Scotsman report: As an accountant, it is no surprise Petrie has turned to statistics to support his case for wishing to retain Calderwood. But they are shockingly selective, as even he concedes. He highlights the ten games played between the close of the transfer window and the split, a run during which Hibs won six times and were defeated only twice. "Their relevance is the fact that these matches were when the chips were down," he writes. The chips were only down because Calderwood's team had won only two of their previous 17 matches. They also failed to win any of their five post-split clashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
