Surprisingly enough, the main site is down!

Noticed the server got quite busy here, it looks as if the Hibs Official Site is down!

Certainly a weird one this, there must've been a row.

Ladbrokes have taken him off the list for betting

I believe this IS the case. A point of principle. If true credit to him..

Its what I think has happended, possibly Jones and Murphy to be sold at Christmas?

John Collins will be joining QPR shortly. Massive transfer budget and the chance to manage the next "Chelsea" were too much to resist.

Whatever, i hope there's no fudge and JC gives us supporters a FULL explaination.

I think that's whats happened TBH.

"Mr Chairman, can I have some money to spend on players in January?"

"I gave you loads in the summer and look what you did with it. No chance"

"I would really expect the club chairman to back the team to elevate it's league position into European places"

"John, we have always had a personality clash, the players rebelled against you, you spent loads of cash and we are in terrible form - then you have the cheek to ask me for money? I'll give you the chance to resign now"

Just a theory

**Stirlinghibee** · 20-12-07, 13:57

Looking forward, and sorry about this Louis Prima, but Yogi , Ricey and Russell for me.
JC - I wish you well for your future , you are and were a Hibs great and thanks for helping the Sunshine on March 18th.

Being linked with the Fulham job according to Reporting Scotland

**top_geezer** · 20-12-07, 13:57

Great news. Shite manager. No people skills.

stop being a tool, Ok he wasn't great at the old people skills but you need to look at the bigger picture!!!

**Daddy'O'Hibee** · 20-12-07, 14:06

Thanks John, right who's the next manager. Don't have any thoughts myself at the moment, hope the board knew this was coming and are organised. Whoever gets the job will have my full support. An attractive job for somebody, with brand new training facilities and decent league position. McGhee or Yogi will be fav i suppose. GGTTH.

And we're a club who are now out of debt. The money being brought into the club by us is not being spent where it counts on the park.

My suspicion is that JC has just been told there was a deal in place for at least one player and asked how much of the cash from the transfer would be made available to him. And the answer to that question was enough to make him resign.

This sounds about the only plausible reason for his resignation.
