Stubbs would be a far more divisive choice than you seem to think. Not if he came back on a short term contract to May. I note no mention of how long they've gave wee Heckie in press release. I assume a 2 year deal, if it doesn't work out we cannot afford to sack him after 600k spunked away on Lenny compo.

It's a 3.5 year deal, and if the stories are true about Appleton's contract negotiations, he'll only get 4 months compo after a firing. I suppose a short-term appointment might be more acceptable, but hiring a short term manager would probably be a bad move in general. Why spend a fortnight hiring one and then another fortnight in summer, when you can hire a permanent manager in much the same length of time?

You’re off your head. No you numpty, he is LIKED by the fans and knows the club inside out so he has a head start on Heckie.

That 4 months compo, if true, tells you how sore Petrie's fingers are after Lennygate. Very poor and amateurish executive performance losing the first choice pick over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about? If Stubbs would just be here till the end of the season, as per your other post, that 'head start' is not a good thing, since he'd just be a stopgap - and then whoever we get in the summer won't have the advantage of having worked with the team, won't be used to how they operate, and will be making summer transfer signings cold - and it was misguided summer signings that screwed us up this season. I'd rather give the permanent guy the rest of this season to get caught up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather give the permanent guy the rest of this season to get caught up. Yeah, but if he does okay, gets us top six say, we give him a perm deal. If he doesn't we say ta and move on. Bottom line, the fans would get behind him and it would galvanise the club. Just now you've a meh reaction to a new manager who was clearly second choice. You can even tell by Heckie's body language that he knows this. If he loses to Hamilton on Saturday the pressure will mount on all concerned when it could have been defused somewhat by a Stubbs caretaker appointment. I'd also point out Heckie himself was caretaker at Barnsley in league one for a long spell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I couldn't help noticing a similarity between the new Hibs coach and a man with a paper mache heid. I wonder if they are by any chance related? Frank Sidebottom Paul Heckingbottom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Pretty easy start for Heckers. Is it Hamilton, Dundee and Saint Johnstone? Yah. 9 points in the bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the conversation. There's an important difference in perception between the titles of manager and coach. Ian Cathro was a coach, whereas Tommy Wright is a manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
