EXCLUSIVE: Hibs choose Stubbs | Football | Sport | Daily Express

[neil7908]

If it is to be Stubbs (the number of papers running the story makes me think it is highly likely) then I'm only hoping he can hit the ground running. It's a horrible cliché but we really do need to have the team playing football from day 1. Mid table obscurity is not going to be accepted as an excuse this season. He needs to come in, sign almost a full team, start to connect and get the best out of existing players like Craig and mold them all into a coherent unit that not only wins football matches week in, week out but also plays the right way.

With Hertz coming up very early in the league he needs to get things right immediately.

Good luck Alan (if you are indeed going to be the man), your going to need it.

[Niffy]

If indeed we appoint Stubbs, we should be lucky that he is even interested.
Over recent years, the Hibs job has become less and less attractive.

The fact he is willing to leave the comfort of a safe role in an EPL club to try and prove himself with a second tier Scottish club only emphasises his desire to succeed.
If this means he is using us as a stepping stone, then so be it.
He will have to succeed at Hibs if he wants to move onto bigger things which in turn can only benefit ourselves.

Exactly.
What proven decent manager will take on Hibs in their current state.
If it is him, good call.

[Niffy]

...apart from the Jimmy Calderwoods....

I think we can afford a wee bit more time than you suggest. We only have to be top of the league once. On the last day of the season.

Star pupil Alan Stubbs will shine in the dugout for Hibs, says Jim Fleeting

STUBBS looks set to be named as the new manager at Easter Road tomorrow and SFA director of football development Fleeting is sure the man he guided to his coaching badges will be a hit.

ALAN STUBBS will be announced as the new manager of Hibs tomorrow.

Jim Fleeting’s biggest surprise is it has taken this long for someone to give him the opportunity.

The Everton Under-21 manager has been picked out by Easter Road chief executive Leeann Dempster as the perfect replacement for axed Terry Butcher after a hugely impressive interview.

It’s also understood he’s still trying to persuade Goodison sidekick David Unsworth to come as his No.2.

And after guiding Stubbs through five years of his coach education all the way up to his UEFA Pro Licence, the SFA’s director of football development is thrilled to finally see the former Celtic, Bolton and Everton favourite in a first-team dugout.

Stubbs went through his badges with the likes of Davie Weir, Graham Alexander, Gary Locke and Portugal’s Pedro Caixinha. And Fleeting said: “It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that he shone.

“On the Pro Licence we put all the candidates through a mock interview process – it’s not anything fun, we get some heavy hitters in there from business but who also know the game to put these guys through their paces.

“We had the top man in from SmithKline Beecham when Alan did his.

“And he got the job. I remember clearly the guys who did him earmarking him as someone with real potential.

“He came out of that very strongly amongst some really good candidates.

“And it’s a big thing nowadays, being able to manage up the way into the boardroom as well as in the dressing room.

“The way he presents to the media is important as well. It’s not the easiest thing to do but he seems more than comfortable on that front too.”

All Hibs fans are interested in is how he fares on the training ground and in the dugout though. Fleeting (below) insists they’ll have no worries.

He said: “He’s comfortable on the training pitch. I’ve been down to Everton to watch him train with the Under-21s and he makes demands of them constantly.

“The training’s good, it’s lively and he’s also good when there are other coaches around. He commands respect among his peers.

“I genuinely believe he’ll make Hibs better. He’ll make them an organised team again. He’ll build what he wants, a squad all working for the same aims.

“And I think Leeann Dempster is of a similar ilk, she’ll like that kind of person about her club.”

Stubbs has had other opportunities to step away from Everton but has never felt they’ve been the right ones.

Instead he’s progressed his education helping bring through the likes of Ross Barkley and working closely with bosses Davie Moyes and Roberto Martinez. And despite it being his first job in management at 42, Fleeting insists he has the presence to carry it off.

He said: “Alan’s a nice guy but ambitious – he’s been desperate to challenge himself, although he’s been very loyal to Everton.

“But ultimately he always wanted to be a manager. He has a natural charisma about him and he’s also a grafter.

“The style he’s got, it has a nice quality. People find him approachable and that’s a big thing for managers these days.

“It’s a changed environment, where players talk to managers a lot more than they used to and Alan’s the kind of guy who’ll make that easy for them.

“He was supportive of everyone alongside him on the course, whether it was on the training field or working on the stuff away from the pitch. He was a decent guy, not big-headed in the slightest.

“And when you consider what he’s gone through in his life away from football? When he had cancer he was more interested in raising awareness of the disease for everyone else than he was in worrying about himself. That sums him up, show he has humility.

“He’s a good choice.”

Stubbs is expected to be announced tomorrow, the day Hibs’ contracted playing staff have been told to report back for pre-season.

[mcfly]

Reading through this thread is just unbelievable with some of the comments.

Penny pinching, underwhelmed etc etc

Only hibs fans can slag off the guy before he even starts his job.

Give the guy a chance and back him.

I think he will do really well, and we need him to do well so we start winning games and try and win this league.

Fresh start , new players, fresh ideas.

Onwards and upwards

[silverhibee]

Are we grooming the next Celtic manager?


And are Celtic grooming the next next Hibs Manager? That is the question.


Hope so, would mean hes successful at Hibs ??


Lets leave the grooming to the #kiddiefiddlersfixitformejimmy folks, that' s there field of work. :cb

[rcarter1]

Some very encouraging words written about Stubbs. If he joins us, I look forward to giving him full backing. :agree:

This, 100%.

[weecounty hibby]

I remember being totally underwhelmed when TM got the job. That was until I heard him speak about his vision for Hibs and the way he wanted to play. The folk moaning about Stubbs know **** all about him except some crap on the Everton fans forum and thier own opinions. I think (hope) that he will be a good appointment

[GreenCastle]

Jim Fleeting is a clown but as I've already stated Unsworth will do well alongside Stubbs.

the hard part of this is where we are now and the desperate need to form a team which starts well and improves throughout the season.

not knowing the Scottish lower leagues may go against them as they won't know the style of play of several teams. This may help as we stick to our own philosophy or it may be an issue as we won't be prepared for various teams.

Now we need -

A Gk coach
Some gks
a real star player
players throughout the team - do this and we may will be in a pretty good place.

good luck to the guys - not an easy job at all.

We have a GK coach in Scott Thompson who was helping out with Cowdenbeath. Think he was loaned to them once TB and the gang took over.

Sure we are still paying him.

Would possibly like us to try for McFadden as others have alluded.

Still has bit of quality about him and would think he would thrive in the Championship??

Some of the comments on this thread are puerile at best. Either some of our fellow Hibs fans really have lost the plot or there's heavy infestation on this board.

There is an agenda by some to keep the dissent in the ranks....there are definitely people actively trying to ensure disharmony continues ...I accept there remains major dissatisfaction, some though, are actively stoking the fire

Excellent post.

Hopefully he can give a few decent early interviews to get us onside like Mowbray did.

It's all about the football for me - a few encouraging performances in pre-season friendlies, some encouraging noises coming from the players about enjoying the new set-up, a few decent players who buy into his vision and join the club and I'll be optimistic about him.

LD is no fool. She has in mind exactly what she's looking for and has already told us. She'll appoint the best person for the job based on those specifications. We need to trust her 100%.

Re the Everton fans forum, I'll bet the St Johnstone fans are happy they trusted their manager to make a judgment on Wotherspoon and the Killie fans their board re Mixu rather than trusting the majority view on Hibs.net when it came to these acquisitions.

An impressive track record elsewhere? So far I'd also say she has "talked the talk" so deserves the benefit of the doubt. I can't argue with any of what she's said so far. She has earned the right to get a decent crack of the whip at Hibs with my support.


In a previous job she played a part in getting Motherwell to 2nd in the league.

Good enough for me.


Oh, and IMO Petrie is many things, not many of them positive, but is absolutely 100% not a fool.

didnt he play for both Everton and Motherwell....must be well known by many.....

I agree with all of that. I'm just playing devil's advocate really.

Dempster will rightly get the benefit of the doubt, but I hope folk don't have too high expectations of her.

She's no miracle worker and we only have what money we have.

As soon as things start to go wrong, you can be sure that people will resort to calling her a Petrie appointment.

do you not think Hibs have given us reason to be negative with their years of crap football, embarrassing results & terrible managers?

[ArmadaleHibs]

do you not think Hibs have given us reason to be negative with their years of crap football, embarrassing results & terrible managers?

Yes I do agree and I can see why some fans do it, but the line has to be drawn somewhere and aimlessly writing off someone before they've even started is ridiculous. Life is trial and error and by all accounts so is running a football team. Highs and lows.

[yeezus.]

If it's any consolation Aberdeen fans are worse. I agree however that it's time to back the manager and try (as hard as it may be) to forget about the past few seasons.

[HoboHarry]

do you not think Hibs have given us reason to be negative with their years of crap football, embarrassing results & terrible managers?
No. Like every other club over the last 30 years we have had our highs and our lows. The last few years have been awful but Rod Petrie has (in spite of what the hystericals are claiming) handed over power to a dynamic individual who is well respected in the game. She in turn is handing the management of the team over to another dynamic individual of her own choosing (again, despite what the hystericals are claiming). It is a new broom and those who wish to drown us with their negativity will, I hope, disappear like snow off a dyke when we begin our assent from where we find ourselves now.

[Turkish Green]

RP has a finance rather than a football background. He made some walloping mistakes in making previous managerial appointments, TB turning out to be a disaster. But RP did try to improve the set-up by appointing an experienced CEO with some football background. It is just a pity that TB had done the damage before she took up her post.

if it turns out to be Alan Stubbs that came out top of the 40 applicants then let's accept this and move on. Moaning about this is not going to achieve anything. I really do not know what some supporters were expecting.

He made a mistake with TB in hindsight which is always 20/20. There has been a collective denial on this forum to the point of it being embarrassing, that there was a general level of excitement on this forum when TB was appointed.

Can I ask what exactly you were expecting seeing as you voted "underwhelmed" on the Stubbs poll thread?

Your questioning of the Hibs supporters attitude towards Stubbs appointment seems a bit rich since you appear to be ambivalent towards this yourself.

[basehibby]

A massive welcome and good luck to Alan Stubbs - hope he's totally aware of how much of a massive job he has taken on and is ready to throw himself into it 100%.

But as it is going to be Stubbs then I shall live with that. Others on here appear to be more reluctant than me to accept him, sobeit.

[ekhibee]

If it is Stubbs he will get my backing as did TB 'til it was clear he was a clueless clown. I hope I am way off but I don't get a good vibe about appointing Stubbs. I think it is a big gamble asking a first time manager to come in and sign almost a full team and have it ready to play it's first game in just over a month.

I know the objective is to get promoted first time of asking but I wonder if with his appointment they are asking him to build a team with the understanding that it may take a few seasons for us to get back up.

Personally I'd have preferred us to appoint a foreign coach.
Although I disagreed with most of your views regarding Butcher, I am in total agreement with you on this. There's something I'm just not sure about to do with this appointment. LD made it quite clear during her media interviews that it was essential to get the right man to get Hibs back to where they belong in the SPFL, but already the 'new regime' is gambling by signing Stubbs IMO. I also think, like you, that it's asking a lot for somebody with no managerial experience to basically bring in an entirely new first team to challenge for what is going to be a highly competitive league. Like you, I hope I'm wrong. but it seems a very unusual choice given our current predicament. I'd have probably gone foreign too by the way.

And how do you get a foreign manager with a successful track record interested in coming to the second tier of Scottish football?

[ekhibee]

And how do you get a foreign manager with a successful track record interested in coming to the second tier of Scottish football?
Fair point, it was just my opinion. But I would still prefer, at this time, any manager with a decent track record as opposed to someone with no track record at all.

[greenpaper55]

I feel that anyone we bring in is a gamble even someone who has experience of the Scottish game, Mcall failed like Butcher when he went to England and maybe it's best to try something different this time. Looking at out neighbours they have not exactly gone for experience either have they so maybe it's the way to go.

The slight difference with the yams and sevco is both have people who know the Scottish game.

McCoist while I don't rate him - him and his staff know what they will be up against.

Neilson is inexperienced but CL will be telling him what to expect.

Stubbs and Unsworth won't have much clue about the teams they plan to face - that is my main worry.

However if they are good coaches / managers they will scout games and prepare as soon as they come in so there is less of the unknown in this tough league.

I'm pretty easy with that. If he's a good enough manager he'll know what he wants from his team regardless of the opposition.

The flip side is the other teams won't know what they are up against with Stubbs' line-ups.

I won't be going into any fixtures next season worrying and I hope Stubbs' has the same outlook.

[Paisley Hibby]

Fair points - but it's crucial we know opposition strengths as well unless we have the players to outplay every other team - which currently we don't have.

So going by this thread we want someone from leftfield, from outside the Scottish managerial merry-go-round (preferably foreign) who has a in depth knowledge of the Scottish championship and the teams within it?

The guy who owns that account obviously has way too much time on their hands. I don't, I'm always busy at work and do not have time to br making a Hibs Transfers Twitter account pretending that I know everything happening with club, because I don't.

I only have one account and that is my personal one. If you follow me, I will follow you back.

But in all seriousness, that Hibs Transfers account is definitely not me, probably some school kid in all honesty.

I understand he's signed a two year contract.


Nope. I do follow them though. I got it from here: http://m.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/alan-stubbs-must-search-for-an-assistant-hibs-boss-1-3454465

See, this is one of the [many] curses of the Internet IMHO. Not aimed solely at you but your initial post said "I understand...". A journalistic phrase that suggests special sources etc. It turns out you read it on the Evening News site.

All I read on here these days is "I understand...", "My mole...", "My source..." etc. As I say, not aimed solely at you as it seems to be the norm nowadays. Funnily enough, the very few folk who never get anything wrong don't do it!

Agree completely. Apologies to you and all the other folk on here for any confusion/inconvenience caused.

That Hibs Transfers account is hilarious. Lifts all their "I understand" exclusives from here, Facebook and journalists.

For those accusing me of owning the cringeworthy Hibs Transfers account on Twitter, accuse me all you like, but it isn't me, sorry to disappoint. However, I do follow them. The guy who owns that account obviously has way too much time on their hands. I don't, I'm always busy at work and do not have time to br making a Hibs Transfers Twitter account pretending that I know everything happening with club, because I don't. I only have one account and that is my personal one. If you follow me, I will follow you back. But in all seriousness, that Hibs Transfers account is definitely not me, probably some school kid in all honesty.

Your internet one is even better

I reckon you are Popsicle Man Tony from the bounce. If so, the last couple of lines from your above post is laughable.

I seem to remember some miserable barsteward in Hong Kong that used to post a constant stream of negative cr*p.

I presume you're the same guy and you've been in the pokey for a couple of years.
