Just finished reading Alan Stubbs' autobiography - a really interesting read.
Covers his views on refereeing bias in Scotland, different managers he worked under (the bits about John Barnes were interesting), playing in derbies and his battles with cancer - unusually insightful for your average football autobiography.
I'd say if I was a player I'd be looking up to Stubbsy - he comes across as really intelligent and has some really good insights into man management, unlike our last imposter.
Well worth a read if you can get your hands on it.

Yeah read it while on holiday in July. Really enjoyed it. The man has some real fight about him. He's a real winner and knows where he wants to go in the game.

Spoke to one of the under 20 goalies tonight at training and he says training is really good and Stubbs is a top bloke.

I read it too just after he was appointed, came across as a much more thoughtful bloke than I'd at first imagined. Seems absolutely in love with the game too, so I hope some of his enthusiasm and work ethic rubs off and leaves a lasting impression on the squad.

Would that not be, in Scouse parlance, "a gaffer Gaffer"?

I've read the book and really enjoyed it. The bit about Wim Janesn telling the players to go home when they were hungover...he waited until they were feeling better the next day before saying its unacceptable.
I do feel having read it that he would absolutely jump at the chance of joining sellick if the opportunity came up, his fondness for the club for the way they supported him through his cancer battle shone through.

Getting compo from celtic for a successful manager would make a pleasant change from sacking them and paying them off.
