Stubbs turns down Dundee United

[3pm]

...according to SKY Sports.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Surprised at that. What is he expecting to be offered?

[Cameron1875]

Too right. They will struggle big time to get promoted and another failed league campaign is not what he'd want on his CV.

He'll get a Scottish Prem job imo but depends if he wants to go to a Hamilton, Partick etc.

And their dream of being Hibs suffers a bitter blow.

Stubbs would have fitted right in with Keatings, Fyvie and Stanton. I was expecting the green and white away kit next.

The Dons job when Mcinnes leaves for The Rangers? To be fair Utd are piss poor and skint, I would turn it down as well.

[IGRIGI]

I imagine he's holding out for the Dons job.

[Heisenberg]

Think he might get a bit of a shock if he’s expecting the Aberdeen job. Don’t think there’s any chance they’d go for him in the event of McInnes leaving.

Doubt he would get that.

I actually think Partick would be a good fit for him. Expectations are lower and if he gets them playing attractive football they'll get bigger crowds as there is a section of people from Glasgow who would like an alternative to going to see the old firm, plus he'll possibly get Celtic fans who can't make it to Celtic park or don't want to take their kids to Celtic park. I doubt Partick would care why they were there as long as they behaved and got behind the team.

Holding out for the hibs job

[Hibernia&Alba]

A bit surprised, aye. United are still one of the biggest clubs in Scotland, despite their current troubles. Time will tell if a better offer comes along.

[Scottie]

Wonder if he regrets leaving us the way and time he did. Different stories have been spun but has he commented officially about his departure ?

Yes. In an interview, he literally admitted he had made a bad decision. I can’t remember when or where the interview took place.

Thanks Jim can't remember seeing it tbh.

[Michael]

I doubt he'll get it, bit he'd be a good fit for Aberdeen.

Aye he’s said it a few times now. Like you though I can’t remember where.

[Scorrie]

Probably the St Johnston job would suit Stubbs if Tommy Wright replaces McInnes at the Dons...lots of ifs and buts there though

I imagine 3 weeks after being sacked, he was still being quite bullish about things. 6 months or a year later he's had more reflection time.

Yes he would have still have been pretty raw at the time of that Evening News interview.

FWIW I thought Rotherham seemed a fairly sensible move for him at that stage of his career, offering the chance to build a solid reputation in England and hopefully a stepping stone to, say, a return to Everton. It's only with hindsight that it proved to be a terrible decision.

I can see why he would turn down United. I suspect they're on the brink of part-time football (or even teetering close to administration) if they don't get up this season. Too much pressure to be parachuted into that sort of situation and no time or money to put in the building blocks for success he was able to do at Hibs.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Always a legend here, anyway

[Walter]

I thought the reason he left had something to do with spending a bit too much time over the treatment table

[Swedish hibee]

Whatever he does, he'll be alright in life. The man has beaten cancer twice & brought us the holy grail.. the thing I thought I'd never see! Legend💚

Love the man. Sheer class act.

[Velma Dinkley]

I think he would prefer to work at a club nearer where he lives with his family.

Wonder if he’d come back here if Lennon was to leave in the future?

I’ve no doubt he’d be the favourite and would apply provided he isn’t elsewhere. Not sure I’d want him to return though.
