SPIKE is grateful to The Guardian, for pointing out the remarkable similarity in the messages of the last two managers at Hibernian FC.
Some things at Easter Road clearly never change – which, for supporters of the capital club, is probably a good thing.
Said John Collins on his appointment as new Hibs boss on Tuesday: “I would like to let the supporters know that my philosophy is all about playing a passing game with passion, enthusiasm and commitment. Supporters want to win and they want to be entertained. It is our job to give them that.”
Which sounds awfully like Tony Mowbray’s message to the Hibees faithful on his appointment two years ago: “I would like to let the supporters know that my philosophy is all about fast-flowing, passing football with a cutting edge. They want to win and they want to be entertained. It is our
job to give them that.”
Well, Spike supposes that if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
