Hibs - Paul Heckingbottom appointed as head coach

[TommyEgan]

Wonder what his demands were?

At least it's outside the box and not Rangers hating bastards.

He wanted 12 months pay if sacked, they would on my offer 4 months.

We play them at Easter road in 7th March mate

8th March.

Interesting that his usual assistant was Jamie Clapham (former Spurs, Leeds, Wolves & Ipswich defender) but as he has no knowledge or experience of the scottish game he wanted an assistant with more of a Scottish conneciton so appointed Robbie Stockdale, born in Redcar and lived/played/coached in england all his days..

No idea who he is.

Former Barnsley and Leeds United manager Paul Heckingbottom has been appointed Hibernian's new head coach.
The 41-year-old Englishman has agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract and will be assisted by former Scotland international Robbie Stockdale.

Who the f%$k is he ?

I'll wager that he'll be gone by the end of the season.

Was employed by Leeds to be a very economical manager/yes man of the same ilk as former manager David Hockaday who is now a football coach at a sixth form academy in the West country.

Great appointment for hibs

Fecking bottom is where Paul is going.

Knowing that you’re second choice must be awkward.

Scottish press will have it in for him for being english and daring to replace the victim. I'd like to wish him well but its hibs so no thanks.

 

[Hillheadbear]

Appleton turned them down after being refused a severance package, and a refusal to assist with accommodation in Scotland.

I don't blame him on the severance package. Loyalty is always a one way street and a football manager is never far away from being fired. He was right to be looking after his own interests.

 

[Bluejohn]

A genuine lady’s front bottom who will take them to the bottom of the league.

The end of this season will also see the end of his job at hivs. Can only see this ending badly for manager and club...hopefully,with the exception of a losing semi final and a victory or two against the scum.

 

[hawkfalcons]

No idea who he is but i bet he's better looking than their previous manager.

that wouldn't take much

 

[Kurt Russell]

Well, I for one wish him the best of luck in the Scottish Cup Quarter Final.

In other words Clapham said f*ck going there.
