    Alex Miller won a League Cup! Is that pushing it?

    Stubbs is my favourite of the three. I didn't think leaving that game against Hamilton that I could regain as much pride or belief in our club as quickly as we did, games like 4-0 and 2-2 and I certainly didn't think that within two years of relegation we'd have brought home the holy grail.

    When I was in the school playground I dreamt of Hibs winning the Scottish Cup. Even in my lifetime it took another twenty years or so for it to happen, god knows what it would have been like for our more mature fans.

    A manager who gave us so much on the pitch and was an absolute gentleman off of it. It's over used but out of those alive, only the likes of Stanton etc. embody "Hibs class" as much as Stubbs.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    He did join in one right enough and it could well have been that game. Mowbray was pretty disrespectful to us that day. Changed my opinion of him big time and his career has gone on a downward spiral ever since.
    loved Stacky, had a few pints with him in the 4ih after that cup final, cracking bloke.

    And then point blank refused to look at the screen right beside him when questioned about and shown a blatant dodgy decision which went Celtics way during the match.

    He acted like a total weirdo that day.

    That’s the truth of it.

    Infuriating at the time but he was clearly struggling at Celtc. I’ve mellowed over the years and wish him the best at Blackburn.

    But would be nice if he acknowledged us from time to time.

    Iirc Judas Mcgeady dived and got a 2nd yellow and he - Mowbray - refused to watch the replay that clearly showed no contact.

    I remember when the whistle went the Hibs player was just resigned to being booked such is the way against Celtc

    I don’t mind Mowbray but don’t have the same amount of respect for him as I do for Stubbs & Lennon.
    Mowbray - Sorry, but I never was a fan.
    Stubbs - Take away the Grail (& yes, I know, that's a BIG take away) and what have you got left? I did like Stubbs though.
    Lennon - I used to think he was a horrible little man. Now I see him in a totally different light. My favourite of the three mentioned.
    None of which come close to Ned, btw.

    Even if he hadn’t won the cup, he was still
    Instrumental in transforming Hibs. Take a look at the team he inherited and the team he left Lennon. Also brought back attacking football.

    Was also a big fan of Mowbray. But Lennon is on a different level to both.

    Nah nothing at all. Asked though about Hooper told same as before that it’s a player Lennon wants in. I genuinely can’t see us getting someone like him though.

    Wouldn’t have Mowbray down as one of my favourite managers.

    I would have McLeish over him (controversial cause he went to the huns) McLeish had some great players at Easter Road at the time and it was an enjoyable period. Also his record against Hearts was well impressive!

    Love Lennon more though.

    All good managers who presided over attractive Hibs teams. The trouble was one or two of them didn't stick around long enough.

    If Lennon wants to be looked upon like Turnbull and Stubbs are then he needs to win a major trophy imo.

    Or some Aberdeen like consistency at the top end of the table. Genuine excitement in May.

    Or a significant European run.

    I'd already have him up there with McLeish though.

    Allan may be no Latapy and love him as I do Hanlon is no Sauzee () but the team can be as dynamic and exciting to watch while possessing a strong core of Scottish players. McLeish's team came 6th and 3rd, lost a cup final and despite the experience didn't get through a Euro tie.

    It's funny how people jumped to the conclusion that Lennon is only here short term waiting for the Celtic gig. Yet he will be here longer than than Stubbs and mowbray who jumped ship at the first sniff.

    Lennon hasn't been offered a job since joining hibs so could quite easily jump ship at the first sniff. I think you will find Stubbs was offered the chance to leave hibs mid season 15/16 and chose to stay so that's complete nonsense and another myth that people want to slate Stubbs with

    I think I'm right in saying that h was sounded out for the Scotland job.

    He declined.

    I thought he had been unofficially sounded out, but I may have picked that up wrong.

    What team came in for Stubbs, must have been a really bad offer if he declined it but took the Rotherham job. He's admitted he jumped ship to quick so how is it slating him?

    Tony Mowbray is a dick.

    I didn't say he didn't leave too early but wasn't the first club who came calling. Rotherham came in for him around november/December iirc

    Pretty sure Mowbray turned down the Ipswich job before accepting the WBA job a few months later.

    In hindsight he was fortunate to inherit the talent he did but I think he's getting it a bit too tight on this thread. IMO brown, Thomson, deek and g'oc never played better before or after their time with Mowbray - at hibs or anywhere else.
