    Cant help but think we should have someone else working in that role.
    And while we are at it take the * defence off kennedy.

    Hold on man, this isn't the NFL where we have a defensive co-ordinator that calls the plays, the Manager calls the shots, to put that on the coaches is just ridiculous. The buck starts and stops with the manager.

    I like him, I thought he was great at hibs but the players couldn't hack it. I like his football philosophy

    On a personal note, i loved him as a player, but have never liked him as a manager or pundit.
    I firmly believe he will be going for Ronny's job if he gets the push......reluctantly of course!

    Yes, i accept that, but as someone above said, that is why i would only take the job if i could handpick my number 2. I dont trust him, and it wouldnt surprise me if Commons' rant wasnt at him as an temporary enemy, but as a friend.

    In his position as a former manager of a decent sized club, who has a pretty high opinion of himself and who has played at the highest level.......i wouldnt be surprised if he was already plotting.....and more importantly, was already thinking about exactly this kind of scenario when appointed to the position.

    Let's not get into conspiracy theories mate even if they're true. Fact is Deila is the manager, it's his show.

    Back in 2007 the Hibs players were almost to a man lazy, arrogant * - are you surprised that the likes of coke-hungry Gary O'Connor was complaining about having to train harder?

    He does sound a bit like a fud though, that Hibs 'six-pack' thing was cringing.

    O'Connor was already in Russia by the time Collins went to Hibs. I can see why he's an unlikeable guy.

    He was a good player but way too arrogant to be a coach or manager.
