Garry O'Connor wants Colin Calderwood to stay at Easter Road Garry O'Connor hopes Colin Calderwood will ignore possible approaches to head down south again to stay at Easter Road. The Hibs manager has been the subject of speculation suggesting he will move to St Andrew's as Chris Hughton's assistant after the duo had a successful spell at Newcastle. Hibshave already issued a statement after Calderwood was linked with a switch to former club Nottingham Forest as assistant to Steve McClaren, saying no approach had been received and one would not be welcome. No approach has been received from Birmingham, either. O'Connor, back at Easter Road after spells at Lokomotiv Moscow, Birmingham and Barnsley, has pleaded for Calderwood to stay. The striker said: "I hope the gaffer stays here. He's what this club needs. He's a fantastic coach and he's brilliant with the players. I'm looking forward to working with him and hopefully I can continue to work with him." For his part Calderwood is not about to blank any opportunity which may come his way. He said: "I can't sit here and say categorically there's nothing that would excite me elsewhere. You must always be aware of other options and other chances. There's lots of personal things that do have an implication on any decision. But my job at the minute is to be here."
