John Collins...

I thought he was a terrific player and as a pundit he comes across quite knowledgeable.

But what's he all about as a manager? Left Hibs in weird circumstances, and quit that Belgian mob in a hurry.

Now he's being linked to the Super Js.

Can he be trusted to stay in a post longer than two years? Is he a billy big time who can't work with players of limited ability? Does he have delusions of granduer? Is he just plain weird?

Like I said, given his playing career Collins should have something to offer our game, but i can't help feel there's something of the oddity about him.

Discuss.

"Yeah I was implying that Kevin Gallacher doesn't sound very Scottish"

I had to mute the game to block out that ridiculous accent.

When I lived in Inversneck for a while there was a boy I worked with who was a tinker. From a proper gypsie family and they all spoke like that. It was like baycawn mawsh pawtaytoes. Its weird , kind of north west gypsie. I cant stand the Fandan he was commentating with as well the wee choocter that called chucks free kick in the SC final a howister!! Id kill them all if I had the guns

collins went into the hibs dressing room when he took over as manager. Whipped his top off to reveal his 6-pack and told the players they should look like that.

Alienates him from the players. Losing dressing room then he leaves/gets sacked.

Great player in his day.

I remember hearing the dresing room stories when he was at hibs, telling them they were unfit and the pulling off his top to show his six pack and give people something to aim for..

head firmly up his own rear end! if i was an overpaid footballer, dont think i would be wanting this guy as a manager...would say the same about roy keane to be honest!

Great player

Great professional

If more of our current squad had his appetite and discipline for the game we wouldn't be in third place and struggling.
