No manager news for a while

[ScottJones]

Seems we're interviewing every ****er known to man though. I genuinely think that no-one now has a scooby on who the new boss will be.

Italian season still has 3 weeks to run of course

I saw in the betting Jean Tigana name, but he seems to have been pushed out, currently unemployed and done the business for Fulham. Don’t understand why no one has mentioned him.

Another, which I’m sure I shouted about before Sousa was signed was John Collins. He’s managing in Belgium at the moment, but plays great football and knows the league.

Thoughts?

Good call. I know he randomly fell out with the hibs players over something though...what was that about?

[RatpackR]

The players didn’t like him changing the team and formations weekly. Which sounds a bit Sousa esq! But he won the league cup with hibs and I’m sure he won promotion with Fulham from the championship.
After reading the numerous posts about who to appoint, this fella, along with Tigana seem to fit the bill.

Collins led Hibernian to their first piece of silverware in 16 years when they defeated Kilmarnock 5–1 in the 2007 Scottish League Cup Final. Despite the League Cup victory, Collins had a major bust-up with his players just weeks later.[2] The players strongly criticised the manager for frequently changing the team and formation. It was claimed that almost all of the first team players attended a meeting with chairman Rod Petrie in the hope of removing Collins.[3] Chairman Rod Petrie refused to yield to this pressure and gave Collins his full support. Hibs finished the season in sixth place in the Scottish Premier League.

On 20 December 2007, Collins resigned from Hibernian with immediate effect, despite having been recently linked to the vacant Scotland national team manager job.[4] Hibs' board of directors were angered that Collins' decision was taken just one day after announcing his delight at the opening of the club's new training facilities. Collins had also said in October 2007 that "I never broke a contract during my playing career and I've no intention of doing so now."[5]

The allegation was that he constantly belittled the players in training. Both ability and fitness wise......

Albeit Dowie probably could have got us play-offs.

Dont get me wrong I didnt want him and :surrender: I was wrong. He didnt want to play Ledesma, Tommassi, Parejo or SDC.

4 players that have since been released under PS/GA
