Deserves credit in all of this. I'm more concerned with losing her than I am Stubbs. Basically because I believe she probably has contingency plans should he go, but don't believe the same for Petrie if she leaves. (Didn't mean to turn this into an anti-Petrie thread, but you know how it goes...)

I think it starts with her, and if we keep her then we have continuity, as she appoints another Stubbs figure (also a modern long-range planner) rather than go back to the old boom-bust mode.

It chills me now to think that it wasn't so long ago people were touting 'experienced old hands' like Jimmy Calderwood as an answer to Hibs problems. Avoid those fossils like the plague.
