The Moonster Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah I understand that, I just don't think Murray could turn it down. He's a legend there and has a completely blank canvas to work with along with a healthy budget. We'll see, it's possible they've lined up someone else (hopefully). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 He did recently say that he's happy to stay and has no plans to go anywhere but if someone approaches him then that's a different story. If approached I can't see any other outcome. My only hope is they already have someone lined up that isn't Ian Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 At least we'll be due some compo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the auld son Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 For once credit to the club for getting him signed up again Did I really say that ,credit,,,, must be getting soft. I would like to know how they are going to make money next season without extra capacity. Maybe switch the games to St. Mirren Park. I bet the council wouldn't stop them build a stand if celtic were in the same league ££££££ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elephant In The Rock Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Good compensation and hopefully Jacko would stay and become the manager. Win win really. Kinda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu20vt Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 If he goes the no one can grudge him the Hibs role. We're now in a good position to attract a decent manager. Hope Hibs don't approach him though and go for someone like Mowbray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecowden Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hibs have to pay Butcher his remaining contract (two years). I can't see them wanting to pay Dumbarton compensation for Ian Murray. Especially with the drop in income with being relegated. Just a thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hibs have to pay Butcher his remaining contract (two years). I can't see them wanting to pay Dumbarton compensation for Ian Murray. Especially with the drop in income with being relegated. Just a thought. Are you sure about Butcher definitely getting two years money? There may have been performance-related clauses. Man United only had to pay David Moyes a year's salary because he failed to get the club into the Champions League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougiesonoftherock Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Alex McLeish might be a good shout for Hibs http://www.football365.com/hibernian/9344561/Alex-McLeish-admits-he-is-keen-to-take-on-a-suitable-project-if-it-allows-him-to-return-to-football-management?utm_source=hibs.footballprss.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=hibs.footballprss.co.uk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The compensation for Murray would not be a stumbling block at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untitled00 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The compensation for Murray would not be a stumbling block at all. Agreed. Another factor for us to consider is that if he goes to Hibs, He'll likely take Jack Ross, Paul McGinn (unless he has something better lined up) and possibly Megginson as well. This leaves us needing appoint a brand new management team, and replace our best player - arguably McGinn is away anyway but any chance of him staying will disappear if Murray goes to a FT club desperately needing players. Worried doesn't begin to cover it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Squeeky bum time for Dumbarton fans now. Really ? Last time I looked we had a manager and, er, Falkirk didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Calm down everyone. As of now Ian Murray is still contracted as Dumbarton manager and until such times as that changes he should be busting a gut on our behalf - we don't pay him an insulting sum as a matter of interest. Football is full of twists and turns and this season is going to be hard whoever is in charge. If Murray goes we look to a similar type to replace him, but don't rely too much on the media being right about Hibs' new boss; Sellick's recent appointment was the Foinavon (Google it kids) of managerial appointments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Really ? Last time I looked we had a manager and, er, Falkirk didn't.Well you don't worry then.Whilst I can't sleep for fear they take our manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny graham Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Foinavon. Remember it winning on my old black and white tv. It was 100-1 if I remember rightly. It won because all the other horses fell down. I think Andy graham could probably have beaten it over 800 metres. As for hibs. They have probably.got some obscure ivelandic manager lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I think the sacking is to take the heat off Petrie for a while and distract the fans. Now they need to appoint a popular choice to not only get Petrie back onside with the fans and help Dempster look good. But they have a massive problem with Season tix and can basically I'll afford to stay down too long. If the popular choice with Hibs fans is Murray, then I'm sorry Dumbarton but you're fecked. Whoever they appoint won't be an unknown or an unexciting appointment. Edited June 10, 2014 by Gaz FFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're talking about the fence rather than the horse I'd say it was the exact opposite. They've (hopefully) made a one horse race interesting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hibs Manager post is a poisoned chalice IMHO. I hope Murrinho stays with us as no sane person should take the Hibs job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I was just checking back on the news the day that Pat Fenlon left the Hibs job in November 2013. One particular manager was installed as favourite by McBookie at 4/5. He was favourite for the job for a good few days with not only McBookie but also William Hill (1/2) He was..................Kenny Shiels http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/pat-fenlon-decided-to-quit-hibs-before-hearts-loss-1-3169446 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Poisoned chalice or not folk are kidding themselves on if they think Murray would turn it down. If Hibs come calling he'll absolutely jump at the chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
