A Backward Move For Calderwood?

20 June 2011 12:14
Is it a good idea to move from being your own man to being an assistant - even if you would be moving from Hibs? Hibs manager Colin Calderwood is said to be a target for Nottingham Forest's new manager Steve McClaren to join his backroom staff. Calderwood previously led Forest out of League One before managing the team for two years until 2008 prior to being sacked. There is a release clause in Calderwood's contract with Hibs. However, the club say Forest have not made any sort of move. A statement said: "We have had no contact at all from Nottingham Forest regarding Colin."  Calderwood is ignoring all speculation about his future out of his mind as he focuses on rebuilding his squad. Hibs have already signed Ivan Sproule, Sean O'Hanlon and Garry O'Connor, but Calderwood insists they will need to be patient in their pursuit of targets. He went on: "We still have money left in the budget but the difficulty is if we want to loan anyone from England they don't come back until the beginning of July. So we need to have a bit of patience. We're always working away but if something smacks us in the face we'll move on it. We need to improve the front of the team because we're light in numbers in that area. We've almost got more goalkeepers than strikers."
