Re: Colin Calderwood
Don’t think the Hibs supporters would agree with you! Don’t know if true, but he plays route one apparently?

Re: Colin Calderwood
My mate is a Hibs season ticket holder, I've asked him how sh*t he was. I'll report back.

Another close friend of Ling who ticks a lot of the boxes.
One thing that is sure, it will be someone Ling has worked with before which doesn’t make them the best candidate.
If I was the owner I would be asking some serious questions if he takes this route.

I think the owners will ask Ling why he didn’t tip his mate off before signing a 2 year contract just over a week ago.
This could cost the club thousands more in compensation.

Re: Colin Calderwood
I’m not worried about it, it’s not my money.
If it was I would definitely be pi——-d off.

Agree I also can’t see us paying any compensation to get Calderwood.
I would imagine it will cost about a years salary to get him.
Two weeks ago if would have cost next to nothing.
So it’s Sol Campbell ( my choice) or Mcmahan or Nugent, or even drag it out a bit longer and go for Jobi. Not very ambitious if that’s the case.

Well Parkinson has managed Colchester in the past and we're a similar sized club to them so I'm hopeful . Obviously , that's if he would like to join us and we can afford him.

Re: Colin Calderwood
Now 1/2 favourite from 6/1 to get the job although Cambridge have dismissed the speculation about him joining us.

From my Hibs mate:
“ sh*t is a complement. Absolutely horrendous. Wasn't just his selections it was his attitude. Absolute bumhole”
Can’t wait. A knobhead version of Ross
