Collins never played a consistent team, part of his problem. And his personality clashed with many of the players - hence the unusual step earlier in the year. 5 losses out of the last six, well if that is what is getting results it doesn't suit me as a Hibs fan.

Much as I do not want Strachan as Scotland Manager (Tam Cowan for me)! Collins is way too inexperienced in management to take the job. Fulham wouldn't be a surprise. So much for Collin's commenting that he would never break a contract. Let's wait to see what unfolds.

As for another manager - Mixu?

here's a thought - Mark McGee takes the international job, and Collins takes over at Motherwell. i don't see (or want, personally) Strachan going to Scotland.

but well done Collins anyway, you've proved yourself at that club

Whether rumour or not If I was in charge of Celtic I would be grabbing Collins right now and heaving Strachan who is singularly useless. Collins has shown tactical awareness and an ability to stand up and be counted. I have never witnessed Strachan's head above the chip on his shoulder. I have no axe to grind supporting a division 2 team.

williebraveheart, I think you are one of these people who let's the heart rule the head a bit.

Collins has done absolutely nothing to suggest he is a top manager yet. His cup win was achieved after all the groundwork had been done by Mowbray. Since then, barring this season's none too surprising good early form (Hibs were the team worked the hardest in the close season), they have been very easy to beat.

The fact is that Strachan has achieved wonders at Celtic, and to say he is useless is simply guff. He may rub you up the wrong way, but that doesn't diminish his managerial ability.

Tactically he is very astute - his idea to play Shaun Maloney on the left and Nakamura on the right of midfield in his first season was brilliant. He rightly judged that each player would pose a goal threat cutting in off the 'wrong' flank, shooting from distance. Maloney duly bagged sixteen goals and still managed 28 assists (yes, 28).

So frankly you either don't know what you're talking about, or you just let your feelings conquer your intellect!!

i think they should take "Kevin Perry" on as Hibs manager, relatively unknown but a great SCOTTISH manager!

Without a SHADOW of a doubt, he's off to Fulham. How strange it is that he quits and the DAY AFTER Sanchez is sacked at Fulham......

Alarm bells are ringing, Willie
