[BornCaley]

According to Real Radio Hibs manager Mixu has been sacked today..nothing official though

Markus Paatelainen brother.

If this IS true what will he do next?

Where will he go?

[strathyjags]

who next for hibs?? remember brewster used to play for them also

[MissICT]

brewster?

Nah he's doing a good job at caley.

[Pele_Is_God]

Heard a rumour he has offered his resignation but he hasn't been sacked. It all boils down to Petrie's tight wallet.

[Alex MacLeod]

Nothing about this on any of the news websites, including the Real Radio one. No mention on any Hibs sites either

[Pele_Is_God]

I reckon it's just bull, his comments on BBC don't seem to suggest he's close to resigning.

[TomCaleyJag]

brewster?

Nah he's doing a good job at caley.

When was this exactly??

[Pele_Is_God]

In both spells as boss he's done a pretty good job IMO.

I heard it on RR myself today..although there is nothing official. See link to the H**ees forums...seems there is truth in the matter

Ok so they messed up in the intertoto.. and had a rubbish pre season. But by all accounts they did play better today.

Their problem is they have raked in the cash by selling their best young players but they have been reluctant to put money back in to strengthen the squad. Mixu is a ok manager, I'd far rather him than Brew.

I like Mixu's signings and he did well at Cowdenbeath and, I believe, in Scandinavia. He also pulled Hibs up from the bottom half to a top 6 finish. I think he could do well as a manager. Resigning should be the last thing on his mind.

Someone emailed in to YourCall last night to say he will be gone by 12pm today.

[Kingsmills]

I reckon Hibs should stick by their man. Despite recent disappointments he did well at Cowdenbeath and also in his native Finland. I believe that he has the potential to be a very good manager.

Ian Murray was quoted on Sky Sports saying "I speak for myself and HOPEFULLY the rest of the team when i say the manager has our full backing."

Did anyone see the scuffle between Shiels and Fletcher?...that sure didn't show good signs of a happy team.

It is amazing what people will believe, Mixu never threatened to walk and was at no point going to be sacked. The majority of the squad are fully behind him and this was evident on Sat v Falkirk, any individuals likely to be unhappy would be those Hibs are trying to shift out the door, i.e. Brian Kerr..

The spat between Shiels and Fletcher against Killie was nothing, Fletch took a shot from miles out when he had better options, Shiels had a go at him and clutched the badge as if to say "play for the team, not yourself". I actually see this as a good sign as they are showing some passion to win.

Its been very easy for the press to have a go at Hibs recently with the poor pre-season results but when you look at who we played there were some very tough games against Elfsborg, Barca, Wigan & Middlesbrough mixed in with a few away games and we all know what Hibs away form is like.

Dundee utd actually have a worse record than Hibs in recent competative games (have not won a game since March) however this has been overlooked as the press continued their Hibs bashing.

Looking forward to the game this weekend, hoping we can finally get a result up there. :thumb04:

That'll be the team that drew with St.Patricks then?

I live just round the corner for Easter Road and if I meet Mixu in the queue for Greggs I'll let everyone know what he says.

You would be more likely to bump into him at East Mains where he spends most of his time.
