WHO would want to be the next manager of Hibs?
Quite a lot of people, it seems. If reports are to be believed, the list of candidates to fill the vacancy at Easter Road is already stretching halfway around the block right now. Expensive, Premiership-style options like Steve Clarke, Phil Brown, Kevin MacDonald and Paul Hart are queuing up for consideration. There are savvy Scottish football operators in the running such as Billy Reid, Jimmy Calderwood, Derek McInnes, Gus MacPherson and Derek Adams. Some have a Hibs history and a strong emotional pull such as Tony Mowbray, Ian McParland and Gareth Evans. There is even the potential for an Irish invasion in the form of Michael O’Neill and Pat Fenlon. And why not? On the face of it, the club has everything going for it. It has a fully-operational stadium which is as impressive and modern as any arena in the SPL, and a training ground to match. The post commands a decent salary and Edinburgh is a nice place to live. The club has a bountiful youth development programme to fall back on. T
