Markbin, I dont, among many others think recent events where blown out of proportion. and I am afraid this is going to rumble on all summer. Although I did believe Collins had asserted his authority (hence the players apology) Prior to the now infamous meeting (when the manager was out of the country) The vibes could not have been better. Two cups up for grabs, UEFA spot looming.Bragging rights in the city.All turned to dust cos some players felt they were hard done by.(The Pagans are lovin it.) To those players, Mowbrays' gone, get used to it, or find another club. If Collins buckles and walks away,will the club be the better for it ? The close season is going to be interesting. I personally hope Collins and Craig are still in charge come August .If not Petrie needs to think about his position. I could rant on (OK!! I wont !) But would be interested to view other comments P.S. am giving the boozer a miss at the moment!! Pagans are gloating!! GLORY!! GLORY!!

I am a Pagan.
I think Mowbray was a good decision and I think Collins is too. I had hoped that Tommy Craig would be the wise counsel to the gung ho.
OK, we're waiting for Killen to come back and I think he's excellent but Collins needs to think outside the box a wee bit. McManus could have done a job for us - he was hungry and I can't think he would have cost us much. This is when we need another Mixu.

I do believe Collins is in charge and nothing will move him from his post.(unless sacked for other reasons!results) If this "revolt" is bigger than we know then a few others will be leaving along with stewart come the end of the season,,giving Collins a big opportunity to shape the side the way he wants it.(and thats how it should be!) It beggars belief that the Players think they have a say in how the club is run or that they can control a training schedule. This is what man management is all about and if that is Collins let down then we'll find out in the not to distant future,he is a new manager who is learning his trade and i can't see why (if something was wrong)he would not listen to tommy craig who i'm sure would have pointed a few things out before it got out of hand.
there appears to me to be a bit of cowardice on certain players part (though we don't know how many or who they are?) to wait until the manager leaves for the continent to air their dirty laundary,plus the fact to leak it to the press before petrie or the manager has had a chance to answer those questions,,, as the players said countless times that what happens in the dressing room stays there,makes me believe that one of them let the cat out of the bag for his own personnally selfish reasons. Thats why i feel that it's smaller than we know and Collins in my mind is in total control,because the person or persons did not get the support they wished for,from either the director nor the base of the playing staff.
The appauligy was as far as i am concerned by players who wanted this over,and possibly not by the instigator(s)!
I feel Collins can be a great manager for hibernian,,but we will see in due course.

Thats going to happen even if the club came out with any comment,,fitba' is a big rumour mill,and i don't think coming clean on this would help anyone,for what is the reaction going to be towards players who may be mentioned in this who stay or go,that would create more problems,,as far as i'm concerned it's laid to rest.
