...who? i know stubbs brought us the holy grail, but i think lennon is a more gifted, all round manager. he's certainly the best we've had in my life time (i.e. since 1988). it's pretty crazy when you think about it, that we got the last manager to get a scottish club team into the last 16 of the champions league.

leeanne and neil
I agree; it is essential we hang on to these two specially gifted and driven people for as long as is humanly possible.

Lennon is the best although my dad would say Turnbull.
No need to close the thread, let others have their say!

on par with tony Mowbray in my life time , If he stays for a while he will overlap him however.

Statistically speaking he is the best since Stubbs
Stubbs had 58% win ratio
Lennon has 50.67% win ratio
Best before that was Wille Macfarlane in 69/70 with 51.76%
That's from Wikipedia so might not be 100% accurate.

Stubbs achievement in the end that season was incredible.

He's not won anything so we can rule out Turnbull, Miller, Collins and Stubbs.
Other than that, take your pick.

Lennon has been in charge for ten less league games than Stubbs. Stubbs lost 16 league games in the Championship - Lennon has nine losses from 62 league games across Championship and SPL.

Think this is all a bit premature.
Fenlon had us third, Yogi had us third, McLeish and Mogga finished third.
Im excited about him, and i like him, but lets not get carried away.

A bit early to judge for me. I would say Stubbs was better(Cup win, cup runs, rebuilt squad and team spirit from rock bottom, good eye for a player, style of play) so Lennon isn't the best manager since anyone else. He won the Championship but without the kind of competition Stubbs had. From what I read St. Mirren have more points than we did at this stage last year against similar opposition but on a fraction of our budget. Lennon has done really well in the league this year and the new signings look a step up on their predecessors, at least on the back of a couple of good wins. Lot's of the good qualities that Stubbs brought have been maintained with Lennon and you could definitely argue we are a bit more resilient and have a bit more steel.
When Stubbs' team break up, probably in the summer, we will start to get an idea how good Lennon is as a manager. If we are up fighting in the same position next year as we are this year then he will be the best manager for a good while. At the moment he is a manager doing what he is expected to do or slightly above that, which to be fair is a step up on most we have had in the 40 odd years I've watched Hibs. The vast majority of Hibs managers in my time were failures and Lennon has been a success up to this point and hopefully for a good while to come.

Would hate to have seen some of the replies to this question had it been asked on the day after the s/c defeat to the ****mies.

Just as one defeat doesn’t turn him into a dumpling so a good victory at Rangers(who we should have slaughtered at ER)doesn’t turn him into a genius.He’s a good manager who has instilled some backbone but he has some way to go before he could be classed as a Hugh Shaw or Eddie Turnbull.Hopefully he’ll be here long enough to have a shot at it.

More recently, when managers don't tend to stay longer than a handful of seasons, Tony Mowbray's achievement in finishing 3rd and 4th deserves a lot of credit.
