Are Hibs seeing the second coming of John Collins? |

You say Hibs does nothing for his CV but Stubbs, despite failing twice to win promotion, has landed a job in the English Championship at a far more financially stable club than the one Lennon had to settle for on the back of his achievements at Easter Road.

I actually think hibs would be a good fit for Neil and would go some way to restoring his fortunes if he took them back up. Doubt he would consider it though. |

I would be as well, his next move in management needs to be right for him, Hibs seem well run, good ground / training facilities and a half decent squad, I'd imagine they are favourites to go up as Champions next season (which might not be a good thing)

Surely Neil Lennon wouldnt be back managing in Scotland at any other club than Celtic. I think his stock is high enough to get a championship club, but he may need to wait until someone gets the bullet mid season. |

I can't see him taking any other Scottish job either. All of the clubs he gets linked to would be a step down from Celtic, but at least they're not in Scotland. I don't thnk any former Celtic manager has gone on to manage another Scottish team after leaving us (although I could see Strachan doing it one day just to be ornery )It'd be good for him to take a job somewhere like Belgium, Holland or Denmark I think. Decent enough level and a chance at playing in Europe. Surely more interesting than a mid-table gig in England anyway, and probably more likely to make him attractive to an EPL team in a few years' time too. |

Davie Hay managed Livingston. I seem to recall Tommy Burns being linked with the Aberdeen job after leaving Celtic, though obviously nothing came of it. |

Forgot all about Davie's time at Livi - in fact a quick wiki search tells me he managed Lillestrom (winning the league in Norway), St Mirren and Dunfermline after us, all of which I'd also clearly forgotten

After Bolton, he needs to make a success of his next job. Realise that the massive financial constraints at Bolton were a huge contributory factor, but the records books will show that he managed a team to the bottom of the Championship which was subsequently relegated. A job abroad is a big risk. Precious few British managers have been successful when managing abroad.But if he is prepared to take the risk and is successful, his reputation would be enhanced as would his prospects of a decent job back in the UK. If he fails, there may be a long wait for the next gig. |

True, and in a similar vein I think if he were to take a job in England he could do worse than one of the better teams in League One. Get such a team promoted in the first year then punching above their weight in the Championship the year after and it will look a lot better than treading water with a team like Preston or Reading who are basically perennial mid-table clubs in that league. Basically, he needs to actually achieve something in his next job if he wants his career to go anywhere. |

Did Cesar not have the managers job at Hibs for a couple of games or something? He was definitely there as Director of Football, but all he used to write about in his newspaper column was Celtic

Roy Keane tearing into the Irish players after a defeat to Belarus last night. On Aiden McGeady: ""I think he can do a lot better than last night, but maybe that's the story of Aiden's career." On team performance in general: "A reality check for one or two players who thought they were good players" Thank eff he's not our manager. |

Nope, I said pretty much the same. I'm not the assistant manager though, and I wasn't talking to the national press a week before the tournament begins. |

Ridiculous things to say in public. Not the first day he's had a go at McGeady either. |

I agree that he should not be washing his dirty linen in public, but what he has said about McGeady is spot on, though should have been said to the player privately. No doubt Keane will have done so. What the feck is McGeady up to? He did really well in Russia where most Brits can't hack it. Everton should have been tailor made for him on return to the UK, but he couldn't cut it. Given a second chance to redeem himself at Sheffield Wednesday, he couldn't make the first team and was not even wanted for the squad for the play-offs. He has the ability, so the problems must be mental/attitude. |
