I wondered that too. The original "Yogi" was John Hughes of the Lisbon Lions. They called him Yogi because he was big, strong and a bit like a bear. Our manager is nicknamed "Yogi" simply because he has the same name as the original Yogi!
-
A warm welcome to Inverness Mr Hughes!!! I hope your stay is long and successful and that your achievements with ICT surpass those who have preceded you. Ceud Mile Failte!
-
There's gonna be lots of meaningless posts on this thread, all within a few minutes of the thousandth post!!!
-
Good point!
-
Derek Adams. Ambitious, diplomatic, media-friendly, and ready now to manage a big team!
-
Doubt if anybody who's managed Hibs would ever be considered "Rangers-minded". I suspect he burnt that bridge when he put on his green tie!
-
Regardless of who we end up with, with our track record he'll either be good for the team and be poached by a bigger team, or he'll be sh!te and either stay or be sacked. Might as well start booing him straight away! (Glass half empty at the moment!)
-
When the dust has settled at Easter Road, it must be worrying for the Hibs supporters to know that their new manager's track record for loyalty means that if there's a marked improvement in the team's performance, he'll quickly be lured away by an even bigger(!!!) team and they'll be left in the lurch. Better then to hope for poor to average performance so that at least their new manager is likely to stay for a while. What a dilemna!!!
-
It pains me to say this (because he's so smug about it) but I agree with IHE.
-
Can't help thinking he's away for a valuation - might be good for the ego, and maybe a bit of ammunition for contract negotiations with his own club.
-
I reckon Caley could go it alone!
-
I really wish this thread had never been started!

The top 2 divisions should be the other way around. "Championship" has more clout than "Premiership"!
-
I always knew the truth would emerge, eventually!!!
-
And yet you continue to post on it, thus keeping it alive. Sorry Charles, but I think you're as addicted to "Merger Talk" as everyone else who's posted on this thread!
-
I think we all know, deep down, that a go-alone Caledonian FC would have fared just as well, if not better than ICT have done. And unlike some on this forum, I see no harm in reflecting on what might have been. Except of course that, somewhat irrationally, it clearly upsets some people! And regarding wisdom, well, maybe there's hope for me too in years to come!!
-
Anyone who doubts that wisdom comes with age should read this! There's even hope for CB and IHE in years to come!
-
That would be a great pity. It is clearly a subject that many find interesting enough to contribute to - look no further than the "Merger Talk" thread which has recently stretched to over 400 posts. Tedious? Obviously the opinion of a small minority! I don't think those who posted find it tedious. Otherwise, why would they post and keep the thread alive???
-
Doubt it - wouldn't be much different from what ICT are getting now. That would be missing the point though - who'd have thought you'd be trying to wind up the same prefect 40 years on!!!
-
"inbred sense of loyalty" Yes, that's more a Dingwall thing.
-
Just want to see Derek Adams' greeting face again!
-
GSOH or no - he's still a thug!
-
How dare they leave early!!! The gates should be locked until the final whistle so that NOBODY can get out until the game is over!
-
If Thistle had got into the Scottish League instead of Meadowbank, I wonder if their progress would have been as spectacular as that of ICT, and indeed Ross County. And what of Caley - would they still be in the Highland League? Would the Caley support migrate across the river to watch Scottish League football or would they remain loyal to their Highland League team? Would Caley in the HL still draw bigger crowds than Thistle in the Scottish League? Doesn't bear thinking about!
