bevvypark 3 Report post Posted June 1, 2016 Good move for him/Hibs ? Or bad news for Easter Road? Starting with a new manger in your bid for promotion, could not have come at a worse time, surely? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Vojáček 8,049 Report post Posted June 1, 2016 Good move for both. He leaves a legend after the Scottish Cup win, Hibs can appoint a manager to get them out of this league as pressure would've been building on him if they didn't get a good start to the new season. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz FFC 4,000 Report post Posted June 1, 2016 Hibs have got rid of a guy who couldn't win the league and if they're sensible will appoint someone who can. To sweeten the deal they have the compo from Stubbs to spend on wages. Win win 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Freemason 2,263 Report post Posted June 1, 2016 Failure to win the league next season with Hibs would have seen him consigned to the history bin of poor managers. Getting out now maybe buys him a couple of seasons at English Championship level which, let's face it, makes Scotland's top flight look like a run of the mill seaside league. He had to take it, and it will come with little in the way of expectation. Stubbs will be happy to be one among many lower middle table clubs rather than have the weight of Scottish second tier expectation on his shoulders. Rotherham will prove to be his last major gig. For Hibs, his departure means they have dodged a bullet, and can now appoint someone who really shouldn't fail to get out of this league at the third time of asking. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the theory...but it's a tough gig. Hibs have some good players but moulding a league-winning team? No one can guarantee that. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RangersRyan084 15 Report post Posted June 1, 2016 Stock was at a low after failure to get out of Scottish second tier for second season running. Was at a high after cup win. Obviously thought jumping to English Championship team was the better option compared to risking a poor season with Hibs next year. No reason to dislike the chap anymore, good luck Alan. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
