Leon Osman & Tony Hibbert

[atrottel]

So we're now getting to the stage where managers are getty twitchy bums and the first one has already been given the boot.

Yet Osman and Hibbert sit, according to David Prentice today, at home twiddling their thumbs waiting on a phone that doesn't ring.

A former manager with an injury crisis and a former mate in charge of a team in last place. And yet, nothing...

Surely they could, as Mike Bassett might have put it, 'do a job' for someone.

Seems a very strange situation.

Thought Osman had pitched up at Wigan me.

Hibbo is finished, but Osman could be a decent player in the Championship. Soz, the EFL. (Still sounds like a badly racist political group to me that)

Yep, I remember Osman being linked with Wigan but there they are down near the bottom of the Championship, along with Derby, Preston and Stubbs' Rotherham, and there he still is.

Even if Hibbert's legs have gone so far that he's not fit for the bottom of the Championship, there have been enough 'old pros' taken on to bolster the character of a squad and pass on what they know to younger players.

I am surprised Osman hasnt got a club. Maybe he has decided to do his badges or something. Mystery to me, still a player.

Hibbert can give the Huyton Park a call if he wants , he could get a game in goal!

Could be a wages thing? I think he could do a job too

I'm not.

still a player.

Should be prosecuted under the trades descriptions act.

Hibberts played around 3 games in the last 5 years

His legs have gone mate.

He's only good for 20 minutes at the end of a game at any level, dropping down to the Championship wouldn't help much in that respect and I was told by a reasonably reliable Latics source that he couldn't agree a wage structure at Wigan.

He wouldn't have to pay would he?
